Overall, a great hotel for the money. It was clean, the staff was helpful, and the water pressure was excellent (always a risk in Europe). The lack of a gym was a bit of a bummer, but gyms are rare in smaller hotels in Spain. The buffet was quite acceptable, and there's a coffee shop across the street that's open early. Central location that's walkable to anywhere, from Monjuic to Sagrada Familia to Barcelona Cathedral to Parc Guell, so that was a plus. We walked absolutely everywhere. Lots of great restaurants nearby in Eixample.
My biggest negative issue with the property was the piped-in fragrance in the lobby (constantly) and guest rooms (when the air conditioning is turned on).
It was an overpowering scent of perfume that assaulted us every time we walked in. We actually began sleeping with the window open at night, despite the noise, so we wouldn't have to smell the fragrance. I understand that some visitors see this as a pleasant feature, and it did smell marginally better than the outside on a hot and muggy Sunday, but I'm not particularly sensitive to smells, and this still pretty substantial.
Other than that, though, no complaints!
