The location was excellent where most of major attractions are within walking distance. The staff in the reception was very kind and helpful as well. Finally, while the room was adjacent to the main road, we couldn't hear a thing inside.
The timing of our visit to Barcelona was very unfortunate as it was in the middle of a heatwave. However, you could expect that any hotel, no matter the category, could have a small fridge in the room so people can have cold water and at least have a working A/C.
Well, in our room we had no fridge and the A/C was broken half of the time. We talked to the staff, who informed us at in the first occasion the whole floor was without A/C. The second time, we didn't have electricity but apparently the tram construction outside the hotel was to blame. The third time, there was no excuse. The A/C was just not working in our room with 32C outside, making it impossible to sleep comfortably.
You can't connect wireselly to the TV which makes it basically unusable. Some furniture were chipped or not fully operational (e.g., some chairs and the main table were missing wooden pieces, the shower door wasn't closing properly and the toilet's water tank was constantly running!).
Last, the breakfast was typical and gets boring after 2-3 days. There is no variety to keep it interesting, and sure it was "free", but I would recommend to explore some bakeries and cafes in the neighborhood.
