 The only negative I would say about the hotel is that the street it is on is rather industrial with a lot of garages and businesses but is not at all noisy However it is within walking distance 20 30 minutes of major attractions eg Barceloneta Picasso Museum etc And it is very convenient to the metro and tram lines So while on first sight it seems a bit out of the way it is still very accessible and the public transit system in Barcelona is easy convenient very clean seemingly safe and reasonably priced 
 The facilities are modern and clean The staff was very helpful with directions to and about public transit and information about the city On my first day in the hotel the internet worked only very sporadically and I was ready to give the hotel a poor rating for that alone since I needed internet access for the business I was doing in Barcelona However I mentioned the problem to a staff member at the front desk he rebooted the Wi Fi router and I had excellent internet access for the rest of my stay So I now give the hotel an excellent rating The staff speaks fairly good English certainly good enough for anything you may need to know
