Like Barcelona itself, Hotel Oasis is fun, welcoming, and very cosmopolitan! You will be greeted by friendly, professional, yet lively staff at the desk who speak multiple languages. The adjacent cafe is small but capable and serves locals, guests, and tourists excellently. The room was clean, modern, and absolutely perfect for my mom and I, especially for our first time in Barcelona :) Location? You can NOT ask for better, in my opinion! You literally have a bus stop right out front, as well as local taxi and uber stop across the street. The beach is a 5-10 minute walk, which is lined with ample convenience stores, restaurants, and shops. I'm writing this from an American tourist perspective, however, there are tons of traditional Barcelona aspects to staying here, once you understand how diverse and multicultural the city is itself. You will be safe, well-located, well-attended to, and wont want to leave :) You are approximately 15-20 minute walk from the BEST mercado and La Rambla, and approximately 30 minutes from La Sagrada Familia (download the app and book in advance). Do yourself a favor, especially if you are a first-timer here, and stay at Hotel Oasis!
