We picked the Live and Dream mainly because of the reviews. We were not disappointed. The hotel is in a residential area, and would be a little hard to find on your own. But the cab drivers we used during our visit knew right where to go. Once you're there, there is quite a bit to do and see right in the area. We found some pretty good places to eat within a 5 minute walk from the hotel.
The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. They gave us some very good recommendations for shopping, sightseeing and eating. As other reviews have noted, the rooms were quite small, but very clean. If you're planning on staying in Barcelona for more than just a few days and you tend towards claustrophobic, this may not be the best choice for you. The breakfast was just OK-you can find a better deal a few blocks from the hotel.
We were only there for a couple of nights prior to a transatlantic cruise, so the size of the room wasn't a problem. It's a well-run boutique hotel and easy go get to whatever you want to see-I would stay there again without hesitation.
Room Tip: Skip the in-house breakfast.
