The hostel/hotel is in an excellent location, walking distance to the beach, Gothic Quarter, La Rambla and the Cathedral. Also very close to metro and bus. The place is very clean and has the basic essentials for you to drop off your things and explore during the day and come back for a hot (only place I experienced in Spain with continuous hot water!) shower. Space was small and the bathroom has a swinging door with small counter space but it got the job done. There is also an elevator and a receptionist form 8am-9pm.
