hotel continental la rambla
 

has anyone stayed here? any opinions?

I'm also booked to stay there beginning of August so I am going to 'top' this one!

we are booked first week of august as well. Maybe we'll see you there?!

I am booked 3th week of August I am sorry miss you gays, but have a great time both of you. The hotel looks is in a nice place.I saw my map and around the corner we have The Gorden Arch (Macdonald) and in the other corner of the block we have The Planet Hollywood. Enjoy friends.

Nan I will look out for you! Dan why are you going to Barcelona to visit Mcdonalds and Planet Hollywood- don't you have them where you live? You will find me in the local Tapas bar!

Sarah the 2nd time I visited Paris 2 years ago I have been eating european meals for days and I went to an american restaurant Hard Rock Cafe and was so great(Montmatre Boulevard)I loved. I will return after Barcelona and after touring for 2 weeks France I will be back in Paris to this wonderful place before I got in the plane back to the States.(AAA recomend the Continental Hotel. I saw today in a book in their offices, so it must to be good- Barcelona/Madrid Hotels)

I will be going on the 9th of August. Hope you guys have a great trip in Spain. Hotel La Rambla looked good on the internet, problem is they don't have A/C, only tropical fan. Hope it will suffice. <BR>

How about noise? We are "a bit older" and need sleep to enjoy our travels. Many thanks.

Choose a room at the back of the hotel-the view is not as good but the rooms are far quieter(and cheaper)
