Barcelo Raval is located conveniently to all the most famous attractions and best bang for the buck. I was wary earlier about reading about the location and that its unsafe, however I didn't see any issues outside and I wandered outside around 10:30 PM and early morning at 6:00 AM when it was completely dark. I didn't venture into thin alleys very late at night, otherwise around 7PM -9 PM it was crowded and I felt completely safe walking alone or with my family.
Overall hotel beds were very comfortable and rooms were clean, the only minor issue I had was that bathrooms were not separate and were kind of in a box with the room and didn't find bathroom mats. Otherwise everything was good about the hotel including the staff and location. Will probably stay here again, if I visit Barcelona.
