Although it is very central and within walking distance of Barcelona's main sights, the elegant Hotel Roger De Lluria is in a fairly peaceful neighbourhood and is well sound proofed. Despite being decorated in an unusually traditional and staid style, the plush furnishings are good quality and in good nick. The rooms aren't big, but they are comfortable and well-equipped with baths, showers, flat-screen TVs, safes and free Wi-Fi. At the front of the hotel, there is a pleasant view down Roger De Lluria. The hotel staff are friendly, while the buffet breakfast is both extensive and impressive, offering smoked salmon, scrambled eggs, an array of pastries and other appetising options. The only complaint could be the lacklustre coffee, but there are plenty of eating and drinking options nearby. 7/10
