This is a good place, Barcelona is expensive and I went for a budget option, it was a good decision. It's near the top of La Rambla, so it has easy access to everything. For me as I am young it is easy to walk to the beach, maybe 30 mins, if you have a health condition it would not be an easy walk though, but for most people it is fine. The hotel is quiet, it is in a nice interesting urban cultural area, with a variety of graffiti styles present in the streets by artists from all over Europe, from tagging to full colour pieces. The staff speak fluent English and are very helpful. My room was cleaned every day. I would stay there again.
