Hotel Torino is a simple, clean, well located family run hotel near the beach in Masnou, a bedroom community of Barcelona. This hotel is not for those who like to be pampered in luxurious surroundings. Also, I don't think it is for those who want to see all the sights in Barcelona in 3 days. If you want to spend some days at the beach and some days seeing Barcelona, Hotel Torino is for you. If you want quiet, comfortable, clean accommodations in a quieter, slower paced location, Hotel Torino is for you. The hotel is two blocks off the main street in Masnou, so it is quiet. The beach is across the main street, and across the rail line (a pedestrian passage takes you below the train line and back up, no big deal). The beach is awesome with lifeguards, bars and restaurants serving drinks and tapas, restrooms, and great clean beaches. The main street has plenty of restaurants and shops for just about anything you might need. The hotel is small, with an elevator. Our room was comfortable with air conditioning, shower, toilet, basin, desk, chair, closet, nightstands and a tv. Nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable.
