The black tower of Barcelo Raval is like a pin in the very center of Barcelona tourist map.
The hotel is a mixed blessing. It’s close to Ramblas yet it sits on borderline of Barcelona tourist center and slums. There are drug dealers and a lot of shadowy characters at the corners of the square surrounding hotel. I put a heavy club in my bag for self defense when going out and coming back to the hotel. The hotel interior is modern and funky.
The roof offers a great 360-degree view of Barcelona yet the tiny pool on the roof advertised as swimming pool would accommodate only a golden fish.
