This was a perfect spot for us as we were visiting our son studying in Barcelona. It was close to walkable Metro stations to get everywhere we needed to go. The area itself has many conveniences for a quick bite, personal needs, shopping, etc. The hotel itself was quiet and clean. The room was better than the photos which is unusual. My only complaint would be the pillows were very thin. But the people there were very helpful. It was November so we didn’t even look at pool area so I can’t comment on that. It also has a nice looking restaurant but we didn’t try it out. But if you need a place to stay in bustling Barcelona for an inexpensive stay this is the place.
