Personal comments
Check if you live in a part of BCN where they have other telefone providers than telefonica e.g. Meta ( could save ou a lot of money ), having an international student card can give you cheaper access to some sightseeing (e.g. Sagrada Familia)

In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
If you are interested in meeting many students from foreign countries I can not recommend ESMA. Don`t let them provide your acommodation, search yourself ( will be cheaper ), don`t expect "university atmosphere", it´s more like in school...
