Hotel REC is the perfect base for exploring Barcelona. There's loads of restaurants and bars within walking distance with bus stops and metro station within a few minutes' walk. All the staff we met were really friendly and helpful. I'm sorry I didn't get her name but the receptionist who checked us in was lovely and helped us get our safe working. The room was spotless, huge bed, the shower, toilet and sink were all separate, so really practical and there were loads of sockets for electrical items. The safe in the room was free. Breakfast was excellent - lots of choice of meat, scrambled eggs, 3 different cereals, toast and baked goods, yogurts and was slightly different each day. The pool and bar were fun. On Saturday 20th there was a fantastic singer/keyboard player in the bar. She played and sang beautifully with a mix of English and Spanish songs. The hotel were happy to store luggage for us on the last day. They have a room with different size lockers (big enough for suitcases) and we got a card that unlocked it. I'd highly recommend staying here to explore Barcelona.

Nice stay with fun events

We stayed as a group at the Hotel Rec and had a great time! The rooms were as expected, very nice and comfortable. We really enjoyed the roof top lounge and bar. The nightly events were great, we did a beer tasting with good information on the local beer. Had a great time!

Location is great, bus and metro very close which can get you to the beach or anywhere else in Barcelona. Room was spacious, shower was big and beds were comfy. Only issue I had with the room is : 1 there is nowhere to put your clothes. There was a very tiny wardrobe to hang 3 dresses and one small shelf for some extra clothes but everything else we left either in the suitcase or on the one table that was available. 2 the room is in tiles so you will need slippers to walk around unless you don't mind it. The room has aircon. Shower and toilet are separated. Breakfast was ok ISH. Nothing special but it is fine for what it is. The Pool area is very small altho very lovely to enjoy the breakfast, for swimming or sunbathing is to small. Staff are super nice and helpful and attentive.
