Old building in the Gothic Quarter, close to alot. Yes, it is a basic hotel so don't expect much. We unfortunately had a room whose window looked at 3 walls and was so depressing. They offered to move us (had already unpacked) and husband said "it would be okay" but it was bad. Small bed, scratchy sheets. Thank you for changing out noisy fridge and small tv. Tiny light in bathroom...so dark. Plus side was that it was fairly quiet and front desk help nice. First time in Barcelona so did not know any better.
