If you are only looking to spend most of your time outside and sight seeing this is the perfect fit.. Some really good reastaurants are like 200 meters away and La Rambla is about 1 km walking distance. The beach is at well about 15 min walking distance. They both are very helpful in giving tips if you are looking for something or if you are missing anything for your room they will make sure they can provide it for you.
I felt like the entire building was a little loud and you could basically hear almost everything. If you are a light sleeper this might be a problem for you - otherwise it was really great.
