A few minutes walk from the nearest metro, walking distance from sagrada familia. We even walked from camp nou to avoid the post match crowds, although I wouldn't recommend that one! Staff were friendly and about half had good english, the rest we managed to communicate with okay. internet wifi was not always the strongest signal and a few of the cards with the password were wrong, the one taped on the reception desk worked.
the perks, great basic accommodation with fridge,small hobs and tea pot, private bathroom, air con and shutters.
24 hour reception, house keeping every day. lots of restaurants and food shops nearby. we had no trouble walking the streets at night, they were full of people walking dogs and enjoying dinner.
The downsides were the tv reception was terrible so we didn't watch any, the boiler leaked on the last night but the member of staff on night reception was very helpful and apologetic. no sharp knives when we were preparing food
Glad I read reviews on here as I knew the hotel was called everest on the front wall and to expect a small flight of stairs to get to the lift
If you want a new fancy place to stay keep looking. If you are on a budget but want to be central and love the charm of staying in what I imagine is a proper modest barcelona apartment that reflects local life then its just fine. hostels I had looked at mostly had shared bathrooms/dorms so it was nice to have privacy.
