Honestly, for the price, it wasn't bad. We had a very large room, with a small balcony overlooking the Rambla. After seeing the other comments, I can say it's a bit noisy, but it wasn't too bad. On the other hand, you have to close the windows at night, which can be problematic as there's no air conditioning in the room, only a fan. So I wouldn't recommend it in the middle of summer. The shared rooms were nice and clean. The other travelers were discreet and quiet. The mattress and pillows were horrible though. Really uncomfortable.
