So, #MWC17, aka Mobile World Congress 2017. Barcelona was fully booked, unless you were willing to pay a handsome ransom. Therefore, Badalona.
The hotel is modern-ish, and purely functional. Unfortunately, it is also situated right next to the main motorway, so by all means get a room facing away from said motorway. We did not, and while the room was reasonably quiet, opening the window required getting ear protectors first.
Otherwise, the room was clean, and equipped with the standard mod cons you would expect from a four-star hotel. The furniture felt slightly lived in, and could do with a bit of renovation.
Breakfast was decent, albeit not outstanding. Standard hotel fare, with very tasty meatballs and freshly squeezed fruit juices as a nice touch.
The staff were competent, attentive, friendly, and spoke English very well.
Overall, not a bad hotel at all. Badalona's old town deserves special mentioning because it is actually very pretty. If you are there, check out Charlotte's Grill (see our review elsewere) if you like burgers - they are fantastic!More
