Stayed here for 5 days with my wife and young daughter while my wife was attending a conference. One of the cleanest hotels I've stayed in, without question. Small hotel, very friendly and helpful staff, smaller and relatively simple rooms--neither cramped nor spartan or bare-bones, just simple in terms of size, furnishings, and amenities (not truly business class, but certainly good enough for a short stay). Room had two twin beds, which we pushed together to make on larger bed for the 3 of us. Not sure if they have other bed options. Simple breakfast layout in the morning. Mini-fridge and safe in the room, no restaurant in the hotel, no room service, no gym or health club. That said, there's so much to see in Barcelona, we didn't miss those things at all. Plenty of cafes and small shops nearby. Right across the road from the sprawling Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau. Plan to take a taxi from the airport, about 25-30 minute ride. Don't know if there's parking available, if you have a car. Approximately 300m from the Guinardo subway station-- which made it truly easy to get around the city. By subway, it's about 15 minutes from La Rambla, the Barri Gotic and the harbor. If you're inclined to walk, it's about a 10 minute walk from the fantastic Sagrada Familia. Great to stroll around the neighborhood, but be prepared for some steep hills, depending on which way you go. One evening, we had to get off the subway early due to some problem on the line, and we had to walk about 20 blocks to the hotel, some parts quite steep - this is fine for adults, not quite so much for younger kids. That said, my daughter didn't complain (much) about the walk. The location won't keep me from recommending this hotel. I would stay here again if the price is right, but if you're looking for something more centrally located, you might not find this the best place to be. Again, friendly staff, clean and simple, overall a good value.
Quirky bit of trivia: I read somewhere the building used to be the old Chinese consulate before it was converted to a hotel--this made it a bit cool and creepy at the same time.
