Barcelona is a city where you will spend so little time in the room that it's not really important how luxurious your accommodation is. Our main concern was to pay max 50 EUR / night / room and to have private bathroom.
Positive
- great location (close to 2 Metro stations: Universitat and Passeig de Gracia)
- walking distance to Placa Catalunya, Passeig de Gracia, Casa Batllo, Pedrera, La Rambla
- private bathroom
- reception 24h, tourist maps and metro maps available at reception
- small fridge + small lcd in the room, few channels in English (CCTV, Alljazeera, FranceTV)
- towels changed everyday
- hair dryer in the bathroom
Negative
- wi-fi present, but couldn't connect to it at any time of the day
- room was small and smelled bad (as your great-grandmother's house)
- our window view was a balcony used for storage so not directly outside
