Nice, clean, boutique hotel. Great location that is walkable to many tourist areas and restaurants. I give it four stars because of value for money. 500 euros a night is exorbitant for what you get and I have stayed in far nicer places in Spain for the same price. I suspect prices were inflated because of the yacht race and big conference that was in town.

I absolutely love this property and believe this will be the go to hotel when I visit Barcelona again. It is convenient for transportation (taxi, metro), dining options ( right next to el nacional), shopping (right on Passeig de Gracia), and cocktail bars. It’s also a short walk to casa batlo and other gaudi attractions.

Location is excellent, most sights are within walking distance. Hotel rooms are on the smaller side but given it's in a historic building, it is understandable. The shower area has a few places that appears to be moldy, might require some deep cleaning. Bed is comfortable. Would be nice to have iron and ironing board in the room.

This is a very cute hotel and our 4 day stay here was superb. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They gave us some great recommendations for places to eat. The morning breakfast/coffee bar was nice, but don’t be late. We also enjoyed the evening wine/snacks every evening. We will be back if we come to Barcelona again.

Perfect Boutique Hotel in Barcelona
Perfect location! Very safe location. Cool boutique hotel with serene lounge and outdoor terrace area for all residents to enjoy. We walked everywhere to see and do what we intended during our four day visit in Barcelona. Rooms are sound proof. No noise at all from the outside city streets. Bed and bed linens are high quality and very comfortable. Rooms are a bit small. However, we had a king size bed and good space for all our belongings.
Cleaning service for our room was done daily and thoroughly. The entire staff was very friendly, helpful and extremely accommodating. All spoke English which was a plus for us. We definitely would stay here in the future and highly recommend it to anyone looking for hotel accommodations in Barcelona.

This is a cute boutique hotel right next to El Nacional and some shopping area. Staff is friendly, check-in is easy & quick. We got the room we requested and the room is clean & roomy for Barcelona'. Only thing I don't like is the shower, which the door can't be completely closed creating some water leak every time we shower and the side seal fall out once that we had to put it back. There's only 1 knob hanger but was put it on the opposite side of the door, so basically you cannot access your towel when you get out of shower, which we found it weird.
Other than that, I would likely to stay in this hotel in the future due to the location & comfort/cleanness of this hotel.
They also provide coffee/tea in their lounge area (all day) and some donuts/muffin in the morning.
