I was fortunate to get a room on the back of the hotel, so it insulated from the noise of Placa Reial. On the other hand, the walls are really thin, and I could clearly hear the speech of the residents of both rooms that surrounded mine. The breakfast buffet is only adequate and doesn't open early enough for attendees of the MWC Barcelona convention. The bed was not terribly comfortable, while the bathroom lighting was underwhelming. For the regular (non-MWC week) room rate, this might be acceptable, but for the rates charged during MWC week, I'd really expect something better. The location is convenient to transportation and the Gothic Quarter, which is a plus.
