Whilst it is convenient for La Ramblas and the metro, the street outside is inundated with drunk people at all hours of the night. We were unable to sleep either night of our stay due to the sounds of police bikes and sirens blaring, people vomiting below our window, and the shouting of people up and down the street. Even though a fan is provided, the room is unbearably hot and stuffy despite having a window that opens fully.
However Flor communicates well and quickly and us speaking no Spanish only caused minor issues.
