Positive: it's 3 minutes off the Ramblas de Catalunya and under 10 minutes from Placa de Catalunya. Given that location it's not very expensive.
The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. I found the overall atmosphere pleasant and safe.
Neither good or bad:
I had room 117 which is a single room with an external bathroom down the hall. Bathroom is private and neat, but not attached to the room. Breakfast is sweet pre-packaged cakes and tea/coffee from the machine next to the room.
Negative:
That particular room smells like it's been the territory of heavy smokers for decades and it has no daylight.
My advice: if you need a hotel close to Ramblas/Pl.Catalunya this is an excellent option. The rest of the hotel gave me a much better impression than the room I had. If you're in this single room with exterior bathroom limit your stay to 1 night.
