convenient location friendly staff silent mode

I found the location very convenient. It was a short walk to the harbor. The staff were friendly and helpful. They were available at the desk 24 hours a day. The air conditioning worked well, and it even had a silent mode for nighttime (very useful!).

The decor looked a bit tired.

poor soundproofing major drawback

I was initially pleased by the central location near the Rambla. My enthusiasm waned quickly. The room lacked proper soundproofing. I could hear every conversation and movement from both the hallway and adjacent rooms. Sleep was difficult because of the noise. The poor sound isolation was a major drawback.
