Location: Very convenient location. It's about a 10-minute walk to Passeig de Gràcia in Barcelona, where you'll find well-known brands like Zara, and about 13 minutes to Casa Batlló. There's a metro station right downstairs, though single rides cost €2.90. There's also a Consum supermarket a little over 1 kilometer away.
Right across the street is the University of Barcelona, which you can go in and visit.
The A3 airport shuttle stop is right downstairs, and Barcelona Sants railway station is just over 3 kilometers away (about a €10 taxi ride). Overall, the transportation options are really convenient.
Positioning: This isn't a high-end luxury hotel, more of a boutique style. At over 1,600 RMB, it's not cheap—Hotel Royal Barcelona, which has a better location, is over 2,200 RMB, so the price difference isn't huge. I'd recommend booking it if you can get it for under 1,000 RMB.
Soundproofing: Since it faces the street, the 5th floor can be quite lively. The small balcony is tiny, but full of character. The windows have great soundproofing—once closed, it's completely quiet.
Cleanliness: Decent, clean overall.
The hotel gives out a welcome card and two chocolates upon check-in, and there's free filtered drinking water on the same floor (which is a big deal in Europe, where a single bottle of water can cost €2).
No toothpaste, toothbrush, or slippers provided, so you need to bring your own. Ladies, remember to pack a shower cap (unless you plan on washing your hair every day), because the shower only has a fixed overhead showerhead, making it pretty hard to keep your hair dry.
