Just returned from a 3 night stay, a short city break with my family of 4. I don't normally write reviews, however, as this was our first experience of a European family break (outside of our annual summer holiday), thought I'd share my experience of the Hotel Constanza, as we really had an enjoyable trip. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone that is looking for value for money and wanting to stay in a central location, where access to most of the city is possible by foot or easy access to public transport and the variety of bars, cafes & restaurants on your doorstep!...certainly save yourself a few quid as taxis are really not required (not even from the airport). It's a small 2 star hotel in the lovely neighbourhood of Dreta de l'Eixample, which is 'punching above' in terms of what it offers for a reasonable price considering the city center location. The staff are friendly and helpful. The rooms are modern, spacious and very clean (and even cleaned daily). The free wifi is ok. Can't comment on the breakfast as we decided to eat out at various local cafes. I requested a 'quiet room' when booking knowing that the front of the hotel is on the street where traffic passes through. We were given a family room at the back of the hotel and really quiet. The room had a balcony which over looked rooftops and back of other buildings so not too much to see but nice to sit out and enjoy the warm sun late afternoon/early evening. The bathroom again was spacious, especially the shower area (no bath). We all really enjoyed the quality of the shower, especially after long days on foot, moving around this wonderful city! Eating out in the evenings we decided to mix it up & work within our budget of around 300 euros over the 3-4 nights. With a little research prior to trip, I can say we all thoroughly enjoyed our evening meals, all restaurants within 10 min walk of the hotel - I would recommend all: Kebabs at Agababaa..halal. Doner Kebab.Grill - late dinner on 1st night, nothing fancy but really delicious and good value for money Italian at Luigi Ristorante - Roger de Llúria - lovely restaurant which we dressed up for, food served really quick! The most expensive of our meals just under 100 euros (with a bottle of wine). Chinese at Restaurante chino Yue Lai (near Arc de Triomf) - late change as the restaurant we wanted to book was not open on the day, however this was my favourite :-) Small but staff very friendly & helpful and food again was served really quick! Great food, value for money (less than 70 euros, included a bottle of wine) Other options where we had lunches, are: Burgers at INKA BURG (near Parc Guell) Brunch at Belliny Brunch (near Urgell metro) Tapas at El Mercat (next to hotel) In terms of travel (again after lots of research pre-trip), we decided to buy a 3 day Hola travel card which more or less allows you to travel throughout the city on all forms of public transport...we mainly used the metro which is really easy to use. With the Hola pass we were able to get from airport to hotel with only 1 connection and a few minutes walk to hotel, approx 45 min door to door. We did purchase a 24hr ticket for the hop on/hop off bus, as our boys really enjoy these buses as it saves their feet and they get to see the majority of the city from the open top bus. This ticket was part of a package which also allowed us access to La Sagrada Familia and Port Cable Car trip from Montjuïc to Port (Barceloneta beach). All in all a great trip and I would highly recommend a visit to Barcelona at this time of the year, weather was great, not too hot!
