This was a good value for money. It might seem out of the way if you are not familiar with Barcelona public transit, but it is actually only a 5 minute walk to line 6 or 7 metro and from there it's only another 5 minutes or so to Plaça Catalunya. The room is basic and small, which is all I needed; it was tidy and was kept nice and clean while I stayed there. The AC was much appreciated and easy to use. My main objection was this: I was told that if I arrived after 8 pm I would have to come downtown to get the keys. Because of passport and metro problems I was later than I thought; I advised that I was on my way, including just 5 minutes before I arrived, and got there exactly at 8 pm to find that the reception had already closed. I acknowledge that they did tell me it was this way, and that's fair enough, but it would have been a nice gesture after an exhausting airport marathon if they had stayed open just a few more minutes so I didn't have to take another hour to trek downtown with all my bags to get the key. That said, the people I dealt with were pleasant and and they kindly provided me with a USB adapter for my phone. Also, the outer door on my room was misaligned and stuck hard onto the floor, creating a gouge and making it very hard and noisy to open. However, besides these details I enjoyed my stay and was pleased with the value. I know that AirBNB is causing big problems for Barcelona residents so I was glad to be able to stay at a proper hotel at a good price.
