Otherwise you can have a drink in the hotel's café terrace which backs onto a nice enclosed park. The hotel also has underground parking and access for people with a disability.

One of the best points about the hotel is that it is just 2 minutes walk across the road to the beach, which makes it a popular place for families because you are off the main road so the hotel is very quiet. There is a pharmacy should you need any last minute medication just next to it. Stroll along the main road parallel to the beach and you will find cafes and a Chinese restaurant. Go the other way up the road away from the beach and there are newsagents and a mini-market. The nearest metro is Poblenou, a 10 minute walk away. The metro will take you into town in 20 minutes, or you could get off at Ciutadella villa olympica, the Olympic village and have a bite to eat on the beach, or a dance in one of the late night clubs. Or you may just want to have a wander through Poblenou which is the setting for the famous Pepe Carvalho detective series. Diagonal Mar a large shopping complex which also has restaurants is a 15 minute walk.

In a nutshell
If you like a simple and straightforward hotel, and aren't planning to spend that much time in your hotel anyway then the Hesperia del Mar may be a good option for you. The friendly service does make a difference (as do the sweets on the reception) and the staff are willing to help you make any arrangements you might need. The hotel is family friendly and also good for those on business who want to get away from it all and stay in a smaller hotel a bit away from the main business area.
