We had a great experience, family of 4 with 2 teenagers. The roomie big enough and clean. Love that the hotel is in the local area so we experienced the real Barcelona life. The hotel is pricy but we were happy with our choice.

Good location, excellent and helpful staff. Our room had lots of space and a good shower and bathroom counter to get ready but poor lighting for doing hair/makeup. Having a kitchen area was great and the bed was comfortable with lots of extra cushions. We liked staying in the gothic quarter near las Rambla and walkable to other attractions. Would recommend this historic hotel.

The best hotel-apartment.
The location is central to everything but it’s off the busy street. The hotel is absolutely amazing and was more of an apartment with an amazing view! Walking distance to the beach, Rambla, and many other popular locations. The staff was on point and service was the BEST!! I’ve been to Barcelona numerous times and will stay here from now on.
