Review Flor Parks Hotel Barcelona
 |
| Reservation Information For The Flor Parks Hotel |
Flor Parks Hotel is seated proudly at the centre of the Ramblas. It is a basic hotel, but it offers a bright and comfortable space. Its lobby has sand coloured marble flooring and a wooden front desk area, giving the room a sense of space and light. It is adjoined by a restaurant with large front windows, allowing guests to take in the sights and the action taking place on the street outside.
Choosing to stay in a hotel directly on the Ramblas means that you will be in a very central location. However, it is worth noting that the street is a non-stop, 24 hour destination for both locals and tourists. For those looking for a relaxing city break it may be worth checking somewhere slightly further from the heart of the city. Others, though, may see a hotel right at the centre of the Ramblas as the ultimate destination.

Hotel Location and Facilities
Flor Parks Hotel is located right on the Ramblas. This opens up a world of touristic possibilities. The Ramblas itself is a place that is full of things to do. The action never stops, with street performers, art stalls and human statues lining the street. It is worth remembering that it is very important to be careful with your belongings on the Ramblas as pick-pockets are known to operate in the area.
Here, aside from all of the tourist attractions, it will also be possible to find many necessary amenities. These include banks, cash machines, internet cafés, pharmacies and a large supermarket.

| The Town Hall |
The hotel is also locted very close to Calle Ferran. This is a wide street that leads from the Ramblas to the Plaza Sant Jaume, where the Barcelona Town Hall and Government buildings can be found. It is a beautiful street with old buildings dotted along it and ornate street lamps.

| Conesa Sandwich Shop |
Aside from the important government buildings, and perhaps even more importantly, Plaza Sant Jaume is home to one of Barcelona's greatest sandwich shops! Little known to tourists and with a plain exterior, this shop always has a queue due to its popular hot sandwiches. Conesa offers treats such as sausage or cheese and bacon sandwiches and small pizzas. Most items cost around €3.00. It's definitely worth a visit if you are looking for a quick, delicious and affordable lunch.
