Pros:

Friendly staff. The room had small kitchen, toilet and seperate sleeping room. We also had big balcony.
There is 2 elevators for easy access.
Location is great. You have few stores around, there is one open untill 1 am. It is near the metro (linea 3) and many bus stations.

Cons:

We were staying on the 6th floor and sometimes especially in the evening there was no water pressure. That was unfortunantly very disturbing because we couldn't take a shower and we needed to wait.

There was breakfast, but it wasn't self service. Nice lady served it, however it was quite small selection. You could choose between cheese, salami or baked egg or sausage, you couldn't get both. We only got 2 slices of salami and 1 slice of cheese with one bread, maybe some pastries, fresh fruit and juice. If you are looking for big selection for breakfast and to choose yourself, we don't recomend to buy it here.

got the job done and allowed me to stay in barcelona at an affordable price
Pros:

it full filled all my needs. It gave me a place to sleep. it was clean. the breakfast was nice touch. even though it was light, it did its job to start the day. I was comfortable in my stay. the daily bed sheets exchange was nice.

Cons:

it is a dormatory turned into a hotel for the summer. it worked for me but may not be for everyone. there are still a few students living there. its not that i didnt like it but students around. I think some students knocked on my door and ran one evening as a "prank." I just ignored the shenanigans.
