Hotel Lleo

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

The three-star Hotel Lleo's name ("lion" in English) explains the jungle theme prominent throughout. From floral bedspreads to fake palm trees, this hotel makes us want to say, "Ggrrrrrr!" The 89-room hotel may not be king of the jungle when it comes to style, but its many amenities and super location are winners.

Rooms here are dizzying. Bright pink, green, white, and orange dominate the color scheme, and air conditioning, a television, phone, safe and free Wi-Fi are standard fare. The four special rooms on the first floor offer private patios, and are by far the largest rooms in the hotel (ask ahead). All bathrooms are big with spacious tubs, 22 of which have Jacuzzis.

The Lleo also has a café that serves sandwiches and drinks. Don't miss the fantastic communal lounge area, with its illuminated coconut palm tree. If you can get into the jungle groove of this eccentric place, you'll find Hotel Lleo to be a real cool cat.

Located on the traffic-heavy Calle Pelai behind Plaça Catalunya, Barcelona's Center, this hotel is just two minutes from all main lines of transportation.
