SM Hotel Teatre Auditori

We very much enjoyed our time in Barcelona and our stay at the Hotel Teatre Auditori. The hotel is located in a quiet area near shops, restaurants, sights and is a 12 minute walk from Sagrada Familia. The front desk staff were excellent (more about that in a minute) and the rooms were exceptionally clean and quiet. Ari was instrumental in getting WiFi harnessed. The breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of foods. Huge shout out to Vanessa who helped us navigate an unfamiliar coffee machine and whose bright smile helped get the day started. On our last day the front desk had arranged a taxi to take us to the train station. However, it was the Saturday on which there was a huge political demonstration. Our taxi driver looked for roads that weren’t gridlocked but after driving for 20 minutes we got him to return us to the hotel. And that’s where Raul from the front desk went into action and helped us get to our train in time. Raul gave us very detailed instructions and directions how to get to the underground metro and the to train station. Honestly, we would probably still be sitting in Barcelona if Raul hadn’t come to the rescue. It’s not only the sights you see when you travel, it’s the people you remember.
