Secondly.as it was a romantic break i ordered at the time of reservation (as i was prompted too) some champagne for when we arrived in the never appeared.when i asked why it hadn't been delivered they didnt give a monkeys! Very poor to get such a basic request wrong.especially when they ask you at point of reservation. Also note that you look at a big tower crane from the rooftop pool and terrace while construction is ongoing next door. however they said they were full.and couldn't change our room but did acknowledge it was a big issue! they gave me a discount on the first night but that wasn't the ruined our first impressions and stay in Barcelona! Basically we had a room that we couldn't bear to be in during the day! It was a mid price room too over 500 Euros a night with a balcony that looked down into the building site below! The blurb says it has views of attractive gardens but i would say the outlook isn't attractive at all even if there wasn't a building site.you look at the back of loads of grotty buildings. I complained as we were on the side close to the building works. The first day a trip hammer that shook our hotel room was going for hours incessantly. I booked this hotel for a 3 night stay because i though i would get great service in nice surroundings.mandarin are usually pretty stay was plagued with issues! Firstly they have a big construction site next to the hotel.fair enough out of their control but at NO TIME do they make you aware of this when booking. ![]() We enjoyed Cerveceria Catalana,Paco Meralgo,Cafe De L'Academia,Pla,Boca Grande,El Xampanet for lunch and dinners. If you need more water/beach vacation the I would consider the big W hotel with its huge pool and wonderful water views.Location though is far from all the sights. If you want centrally located luxury then this is great choice-and money isnt an issue as it can be quite pricey. Glad we stayed here-our third BCN visit first at the hotel. Rooms are spacious including huge tub and rainshower.Lighting of the room was sublime. Location if perfect for us between waterfront (30minwalk) Gothic area (20min) Eixample (10 min) El Raval (20 min) and Plaza Cataluna with all tourist buses (10 min) Hotel surrounded by great shops ,bars and restaurants. Everyone spoke English-our Spanish is limited at best. Housekeeping was great and room service prompt. Special thanks to Carlos Martin for calling all our restaurant picks. Concierge was very helpful with restaurants and tour tips. We had chosen a room on the street side.We preferred the outside view of the street and the beautiful buildings.I believe the courtyard side isnt as nice and might be noisy due to recent construction. Very polite and efficient check in.Initially given room with shower only so we requested a room with tub.The switch was quickly made with fruit and chocolates waiting for us. Whether or not this will be something we want to hold onto or have zapped from our memories, remains to be seen.Finishing up four night stay in BCN and really enjoyed our time.The hotel is new and smells/looks it. In fact, the only thing we do know is that Chuck scribe Zev Borow has been tapped to write the series. Neither will Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet, whose undeniable chemistry as Joel and Clementine-the couple who erase their memories to get over the demise of their relationship-was central to making the film work. That doesn't change the fact, however, that Gondry and Charlie Kaufman-the brilliant duo who directed and wrote the film respectively-won't be involved. They also produced the original film, which does give us a glimmer of hope for the reboot. ![]() Robot and True Detective, is the one developing the series. The good news is that Anonymous Content, the production company behind Mr. Take, for instance, the news that Michel Gondry’s modern masterpiece Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind will become a TV series. And though we can't blame the powers that be for wanting to take advantage of properties with built-in concepts and audiences, some movies are sacred and should be left alone. Ever since the massive success of FX's Fargo, networks have been eager to turn Hollywood's most sacred movies into television shows.
