There are 80 rooms in total at Hotel Gravina Barcelona, and this includes an executive floor and rooms for non-smokers. The rooms all have personalized alarm clocks, TV with Canal +, direct telephone, mini-bar and air-conditioning. The hotel offers a choice of pillow and cushions. The windows of the rooms have been insulated but the hotel is on a quiet street so you shouldn't be too worried about noise.
