Agree and may I add with inflexible booking. My favourite hotel now is non refundable in any circumstances. Quote

12is12 Posted January 14 Author Posted January 14 Yes I already marked them on the map. Prblm: the closer they r to Thermas, the farther they r from main attractions to the northwest. There IS more to brcln than 3 afternoon hours of sexcapades..... (-: Marc in Calif 1 Quote

12is12 Posted January 14 Author Posted January 14 Both of us r wrong. My main cluster is to the NE. But the direction isnt the issue. I mentioned attractions bcs for me proximity to Thermas isnt the only factor in choosing a hotel. Quote

Earlier in this thread, I wrote that "a stay at an Axel hotel probably works best for those visitors who are too shy or afraid to venture very often to other parts of the city -- or even other parts of the Eixample."

Connordrick Posted January 18 Posted January 18 Distance is relative. No matter where one stays 🫥, 🤷🏻♂️Sitges is going to be just as far as Madrid, Valencia, Andalucia, Galicia, and Gran Canaria. 😎 Besides, Eixample is pretty close to the main attractions for a first-timer. You know, those postcard or Instagram "I was here" pictures. floridarob 1 Quote

All of the main tourist attractions are within a few metro stops or a few minutes in a cab from Thermas. I've walked between Thermas and the Ramblas in about 35 minutes. A little exercise will get your blood pumping from the fun to follow. sydneyboy1 1 Quote

Thx (-: I stayed at the Mandarin Oriental and walked to the sauna. It's a healthy 25 minute straight walk. But you can also take the metro. Quote
