I'm Gary Bembridge I'm here in Barcelona
I'm staying at the Eurostar's grande
Marina Hotel and it's a great hotel it's
located very conveniently sort of
halfway between the cruise port and the
famous rum Blas area so it's a pretty
good location in all respects so the
hotel itself it's billed as a five-star
hotel it is a pretty big hotel and one
of the things that I do like about the
hotel a lot is the rooms the rooms are
absolutely enormous I was staying in
room 720 so obviously up on the seventh
floor as you come to the room you can
see it is huge so there's this very long
passage it's all done in wood so it
feels very sort of chic and just on the
left hand side as you come in as a
dressing room hanging space area which
also has the mini bard has Tim coffee
making facilities and then also has you
know storage space at a large safe not
too big large safe so you can put things
like laptops cameras that kind of stuff
in so that's a great size as you head
down the passageway towards the bedding
area on the left hand side you then have
the bathroom the bathroom split into two
areas you have the double basins in one
area and I love double basins as you
probably know if you've watched any of
my other videos and then the other area
you have the toilet the b-day and the
bath which is a standing shower bath as
well you also give branded toiletries as
part of the overall package so it's
going to take a look now at the bedroom
area so as you can see as you come to
the bedroom
get a nice big space you have two beds
you know together so there are two
individual beds so kind of twin beds but
in my case there are no sort of a double
bed configuration very comfortable beds
as well across on the side you have the
dressing-table workspace area the great
thing is there on cluster side there are
quality plugs but they're all kind of
low down
so unlike sort of more modern hotels
where you've got things like USB charges
and plugs which are up on the desk so
it's very easy to plug in you know
charges and laptops that kind of thing
yet scuttle down on the floor to plug
those in so there are lots of plugs but
you know they're not as
located as they could be you also have a
balcony now I didn't actually face
outside I've faced into a courtyard on
the positive side though I had no view
it was very quiet and very peaceful so
they are
this is room 720 at the Eurostar's
grande Marina hotel it's really great
location it's a quite a quiet part of
Buffalo but it's been walking to the
maritime museum and the RAM blasts and
it is walkable to the port but if you've
got things like suitcases or whatever in
you are so sailing in or sailing out you
probably do need to get a taxi here it's
probably too far to walk so they are
hope you found that helpful if you
looking for a great hotel stay in
Barcelona and if you did I loved it if
you liked the video believe more
importantly I'd love it if you
subscribed to the tips of travellers
YouTube channel and you'd get much more
inspiration advice and tips
