When you book online, even after checking out environment on Google maps, it's still hard to know what you'll find. This hotel was "ok" - not far from Las Ramblas (walkable), and in a reasonable neighbourhood. We ate at some local restaurants and they were also 'average' - reasonable prices, nice enough food without any trimmings. The hotel had been renovated, so interior on arrival nice and clean. Our room was a disappointment though - small, dark, window opened to a wall, bed not very good (too soft / old)... the bonus was the hot tub on the roof where we could relax in the sunshine after doing our tourist thing during the day.
