No Consideration
We requested a quiet room but ended up in a room near the elevator. I went down to Reception but they said all other rooms had been checked in. (It was only 4-5pm). I questioned if they had received my request, they retorted that a request is always just a request. There was no choice unless I paid to upgrade. It was a bit like falling into the trap so I refused. I doubted if they had ever looked into my request long before I arrived. Obviously, this is not the practice of this un-professional Reception. Your guest can just tell upon arrival but certainly the chance to fulfil request is not likely.
Since this is a Student Accommodation, extra noise all day and night. There is a notice on the wall of the corridor saying the quiet time is from 11pm. Therefore, do not expect you can complain or sleep without noise before 11pm! In our case, we were so tired after an early flight. However, it is really disappointed about the inconsideration for different types of guests.
I also want to mention our room is a room for handicapped people. ( I did not request that. ) Toilet is higher and it is not a comfortable facility to me as I am just 5'2".
Moreover, they do not provide kettle in room. You can get hot water from Dining Room when it is opened during their meal times (dinner serves from 8pm only) but you are not allowed to take their cups out of the Dining Room. This is very impractical and inflexible for matured paying guests.
Agora BCN was a fine dorm-room experience for a night. It was a hike to get there from the subway system (especially when carrying luggage) and the room was sufficient and clean enough-- nothing more. Breakfast is included, which was a plus and it's set on a very pretty hill. If your hotel room is just for showering, sleeping and you don't mind taking the subway to your sight-seeing destinations and hiking up a hill, then this is a fine budget hotel option.
We were led to believe this was a HOTEL somehow related. To the university Imagine our sirose to find a DORM room with single beds. It was clean and reasonably attractive. The shower was large. On our third day we asked for a clean towel. We learned this would come with an extra charge since this was not really a motel. Food was served in the school cafeteria, typical college food, lots of starch, little protein. Sometimes it was edible.
Basic but clean. Good staff and fantastic breakfas
Only problem is the distance from the center of the city

The Residence is 3-5 mins walk
The Residence is 3-5 mins walk to the subway station- Mundet. It takes 20 mins to downtown-Plaza Calalunya by Metro, quite convenient. The room is clean and very quiet. The location is safe for a girl like me traveling alone. Breakfast is very good, lots of choices. Strongly recommend this Residence if you have tight buget!

Nice location next to the olympic
Nice location next to the olympic velodrome where Chris Boardman won gold. Good breakfasts. We stayed in a superior twin room which had a TV but no drink making facilities, although vending machines were nearby. We slept well with no disturbances.
