I spent a week here while attending a conference at the university. The hotel is conveniently located, very close to the old quarter and shopping, and only about 700 meters from the university and the train station There is an ATM across the street from one entrance, a convenience store across the street from the other entrance. The room was just right. The restaurant has a very nice breakfast buffet and serves gourmet lunches. (It is not open for dinner.) I spoke mostly Catalan with the staff but heard them speaking with other guests and on the telephone in good English and French. The staff are very nice and helpful.
