Overall I had a good stay here. I found the location great and walked everywhere or took the subway. People who say it's not central don't live in big cities and probably drive everywhere in their regular lives -- you can easily get anywhere in the city quickly from this location. Also though, the neighbourhood is great, especially if you want to actually see something beyond the hyper tourist areas. The wifi signal in room 15 wasn't strong enough to be usable and the walls are quite thin, so bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. Other than that, no complaints. The room was basic, but clean and comfortable (especially the bed), the AC was brand new and effective and the price, for Barcelona, was the best I could find for a closed room with a bathroom. I'd stay here again.
