Lleo Hotel

This was a fantastic weekend away for myself and my partner. The Hotel Lleo was a 3* rating and was the perfect place to just crash at night after a long day of sightseeing!!
We spent four days roaming the Ramblas, sitting in little cafes on the Placa de Catalunya and watching the boats go by on the waterfront. The Ramblas is a bustling stretch of florists, human statues and caricature artists, who are always willing to draw your picture! The little cafes that we visited that stretched the length of the Ramblas were always so polite and efficient and the size of the cup of coffee that we had was just ridiculous!
Not only were we about a 2 minute walk from the Placa de Catalunya and the top of the Ramblas, but also we were in the centre of everything! One day we just bought a Bus De Touristique ticket, which costs about £10.00 but lasts you the whole day and it takes you all over Barcelona. From the coast to Montjuic, up to the Sagrada Familia and to Barcelona’s football stadium. You can jump off the bus at any point and jump back on another again with in about 6-10 minutes!
Our hotel room was quite basic, but we had all the required things, a nice bathroom with built in hairdryer, although on my thick mop of hair it didn’t really do much, a television, mini-bar and a safe in the room. It had a lovely bar that you could have a quick drink in before going out to dinner at about 10.00pm and the breakfast was actually quite delicious!
We actually were probably situated in the best possible place, we were within walking distance of everything, I would recommend both the hotel and the beautiful, Gaudi wrought city to anyone, especially those who are looking for a romantic weekend away together!
