Carmen, the receptionist, was lovely, fun, and informative. The room was right on La Rambla and the only drawback was that pur beds were two separate twins. So hubs and I squeezed into one. ;)

The only downside to this place is that they ask you to deposit the room key at the reception whenever you go outside. Although they might still have access to the room otherwise, it still creates a privacy concern.

This was too cramped for 3 teens and an adult. No kettle or fridge and we could hear the neighbours all night. Location and staff were fantastic but it is probably more suited to party people rather than families.
