No Consideration
We requested a quiet room but ended up in a room near the elevator. I went down to Reception but they said all other rooms had been checked in. (It was only 4-5pm). I questioned if they had received my request, they retorted that a request is always just a request. There was no choice unless I paid to upgrade. It was a bit like falling into the trap so I refused. I doubted if they had ever looked into my request long before I arrived. Obviously, this is not the practice of this un-professional Reception. Your guest can just tell upon arrival but certainly the chance to fulfil request is not likely.
Since this is a Student Accommodation, extra noise all day and night. There is a notice on the wall of the corridor saying the quiet time is from 11pm. Therefore, do not expect you can complain or sleep without noise before 11pm! In our case, we were so tired after an early flight. However, it is really disappointed about the inconsideration for different types of guests.
I also want to mention our room is a room for handicapped people. ( I did not request that. ) Toilet is higher and it is not a comfortable facility to me as I am just 5'2".
Moreover, they do not provide kettle in room. You can get hot water from Dining Room when it is opened during their meal times (dinner serves from 8pm only) but you are not allowed to take their cups out of the Dining Room. This is very impractical and inflexible for matured paying guests.

Great view, but a hike to get it!
Agora BCN was a fine dorm-room experience for a night. It was a hike to get there from the subway system (especially when carrying luggage) and the room was sufficient and clean enough-- nothing more. Breakfast is included, which was a plus and it's set on a very pretty hill. If your hotel room is just for showering, sleeping and you don't mind taking the subway to your sight-seeing destinations and hiking up a hill, then this is a fine budget hotel option.

A Dorm Room
We were led to believe this was a HOTEL somehow related. To the university Imagine our sirose to find a DORM room with single beds. It was clean and reasonably attractive. The shower was large. On our third day we asked for a clean towel. We learned this would come with an extra charge since this was not really a motel. Food was served in the school cafeteria, typical college food, lots of starch, little protein. Sometimes it was edible.

The Residence is 3-5 mins walk
The Residence is 3-5 mins walk to the subway station- Mundet. It takes 20 mins to downtown-Plaza Calalunya by Metro, quite convenient. The room is clean and very quiet. The location is safe for a girl like me traveling alone. Breakfast is very good, lots of choices. Strongly recommend this Residence if you have tight buget!

Nice location next to the olympic
Nice location next to the olympic velodrome where Chris Boardman won gold. Good breakfasts. We stayed in a superior twin room which had a TV but no drink making facilities, although vending machines were nearby. We slept well with no disturbances.

Nice hotel with reasonable price. Cleaning every 3 days. Free internet in ground floor (but slow). Breakfest OK. No special facilities - this is student hostel. Very quiet. Ten minutes to metro which go 15 minutes to the center.

Great to be able to park your car right outside in a Hotel in Barcelona. Good location, close to public transportation. Breakfast was reasonable. At times though i didn't enjoy being surrounded by drunk and disorderly university students, it created a strange atmosphere.

This place was perfect for us
This place was perfect for us as we were in a car. It is in a nice area just outside the city but 5 mins walk from the Metro Station. There is ample free street parking and the rooms are exceptionally clean. It is mainly student accommodation and has that feel to it. The breakfasts are good and the staff are helpful.

ottima sistemazione, ma attenzione alla mensa!
Ottima sistemazione un po' sportiva, ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo. La camera quadrupla ha 4 letti singoli, due normali e due in un cassetto ad estrazione sotto gli altri letti.
Attenzione: pessima la cena!! servizio da mensa universitaria, cibo assai scadente!!
Per la colazione sono stati molto gentili: siccome dovevamo partire presto (ore 5 del mattino) ci hanno preparato un sacchettino da portare via con una brioche confezionata, un toast con prosciutto e formaggio un succo di frutta e una mela. Molto comodo, va richiesto la sera prima al banco.

Adresse à retenir !
Venus pour la finale du top 14 en famille, cet hôtel est situé à 10 kms du Camp Nou. Nous y sommes allés en voiture et avions réservé un parking à proximité du stade.Très facile d'accès avec un GPS.
l'hôtel est très calme, les chambres correctes pour une ou deux nuits. Le personnel est très accueillant. Des repas sont proposés à des prix plus que raisonnables.

Altamente recomendable.
Las instalaciones son nuevas, las habitaciones espaciosas, por tratarse de una residencia para estudiantes hay mucho movimiento pero en mi experiencia se respetan los horarios de silencio. El desayuno es lo mas destacable ya que posee gran cantidad y variedad de opciones. El wifi es bueno, la limpieza diaria se paga aparte. La ubicación es alejada de las zonas de interés pero cuenta con una estación de metro a corta distancia, la zona en que se encuentra es muy agradable (parque).

preisgünstige und saubere Unterkunft
Das Hostel liegt etwas außerhalb, durch die Metro erreicht man den Stadtkern in 10 bis15 Minuten. Eine Buslinie führt ebenfalls in das Stadtzentrum. Das Hostel ist sauber und das Personal freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück ist sehr vielfältig. Gleich nebenan gibt es einen schönen Park. In der Nähe liegt ein Supermarkt und 2 Friseure. Leider gibt es auf den Zimmern kein TV. Die Zimmer sind einfach ausgestattet mit Betten, Tischen, Stühlen und Schränken. Das Hostel stellt Handtücher zur Verfügung. Es gibt einen Fahrstuhl, einen Fitnesraum, eine Terasse und einen großen Gemeinschaftsraum mit Fernseher und Billardtisch. Das Preis - leistungsverhältnis stimmt. Der Aufenthalt dort war angenehm. Wir können es weiter empfehlen.

시내 중심과 조금 떨어져 있지만 근처 메트로 역과 걸어서 5분정도 이기 때문에 아무 문제 없었고 숙소 및 화장실은 깨끗하고 조식도 만족합니다. 가격대비 매우 좋은 만족하였습니다.
