I'm Gary Bembridge I'm here in Barcelona
0:03
I'm staying at the Eurostar's grande
0:05
Marina Hotel and it's a great hotel it's
0:08
located very conveniently sort of
0:10
halfway between the cruise port and the
0:12
famous rum Blas area so it's a pretty
0:15
good location in all respects so the
0:18
hotel itself it's billed as a five-star
0:20
hotel it is a pretty big hotel and one
0:24
of the things that I do like about the
0:25
hotel a lot is the rooms the rooms are
0:28
absolutely enormous I was staying in
0:30
room 720 so obviously up on the seventh
0:34
floor as you come to the room you can
0:35
see it is huge so there's this very long
0:38
passage it's all done in wood so it
0:40
feels very sort of chic and just on the
0:43
left hand side as you come in as a
0:45
dressing room hanging space area which
0:48
also has the mini bard has Tim coffee
0:50
making facilities and then also has you
0:53
know storage space at a large safe not
0:56
too big large safe so you can put things
0:57
like laptops cameras that kind of stuff
0:59
in so that's a great size as you head
1:02
down the passageway towards the bedding
1:04
area on the left hand side you then have
1:06
the bathroom the bathroom split into two
1:08
areas you have the double basins in one
1:11
area and I love double basins as you
1:13
probably know if you've watched any of
1:15
my other videos and then the other area
1:17
you have the toilet the b-day and the
1:20
bath which is a standing shower bath as
1:23
well you also give branded toiletries as
1:25
part of the overall package so it's
1:27
going to take a look now at the bedroom
1:29
area so as you can see as you come to
1:32
get a nice big space you have two beds
1:34
you know together so there are two
1:37
individual beds so kind of twin beds but
1:39
in my case there are no sort of a double
1:41
bed configuration very comfortable beds
1:43
as well across on the side you have the
1:46
dressing-table workspace area the great
1:49
thing is there on cluster side there are
1:51
quality plugs but they're all kind of
1:54
so unlike sort of more modern hotels
1:56
where you've got things like USB charges
1:58
and plugs which are up on the desk so
2:00
it's very easy to plug in you know
2:01
charges and laptops that kind of thing
2:04
yet scuttle down on the floor to plug
2:05
those in so there are lots of plugs but
2:08
you know they're not as
2:09
located as they could be you also have a
2:12
balcony now I didn't actually face
2:14
outside I've faced into a courtyard on
2:17
the positive side though I had no view
2:20
it was very quiet and very peaceful so
2:23
this is room 720 at the Eurostar's
2:26
grande Marina hotel it's really great
2:29
location it's a quite a quiet part of
2:32
Buffalo but it's been walking to the
2:35
maritime museum and the RAM blasts and
2:37
it is walkable to the port but if you've
2:40
got things like suitcases or whatever in
2:41
you are so sailing in or sailing out you
2:44
probably do need to get a taxi here it's
2:46
probably too far to walk so they are
2:49
hope you found that helpful if you
2:50
looking for a great hotel stay in
2:52
Barcelona and if you did I loved it if
2:55
you liked the video believe more
2:56
importantly I'd love it if you
