Barcelona - Rivoli Ramblas Hotel Info?

[ftl principal]

Hi... I just booked the Rivoli Ramblas Hotel on Expedia for $148 a night (seemed like a decent price for a good location). We have never been to Barcelona so I am only going on "hunch". Can anyone recommend this hotel or give any info? Is this a decent place to stay and a good location? Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

We stayed there last year when we cruised on the Brilliance. Very nice hotel, great location and you got a good price. You can read about last years cruise at..[url="http://messages.cruisecritic.com/2/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=927093444&f=109097554&m=1733095637"]Trip report Brilliance.[/url]

Thanks a million.

I read that there are some "bad" rooms here, too... guess I just need to be insistent when I check in if the room does not meet standards. Anyone else have any info on this hotel?
