For a work or tourist visit, if you dont spend hours in the room, fully ok
Pros:

The location is super good, around the corner is a taxi stop, and a metro station, some things are in walking distance. As I write this, there is a huge construction on the circle of plaza de espanya, which causes some issues. The hotel is ok, breakfast is ok, a good start to the day, staff is friendly and helpful, the internet is usable for work related tasks.

Cons:

The price is high, I assume for a location in the city, as the rooms are not that big, and there is nothing fancy. The bathroom has a shower stall which is of a good size, no bathtub, if you need one.
