Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in a classy quiet suburb, offering spacious and comfortable rooms with well-designed bathrooms. The service is spectacular, with experienced and helpful staff. The superb location allows easy access to various attractions and transport options. Although the dining experience is satisfactory, there are some missed opportunities on the menu.
The hotel has beautiful Spanish décor and ambiance in its excellent rooms. The service is extremely accommodating and full of information, especially from Ms. [Name]. The location is perfect for relaxing after a busy day in Barcelona, near the city square yet secluded and not noisy. The dining options are superb with a wonderful rooftop view, but it's a bit pricey. The historic hotel started in 1919 and nearing its 100th anniversary.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were spacious and incredibly comfortable, equipped with beautiful linen and relaxing beds. Breakfasts were a delight each morning, keeping me energized till dinner. The cleanliness and comfort of the rooms were top-notch, making my stay very enjoyable.
The hotel exceeded my expectations with its beautifully decorated, spacious rooms and comfortable beds, alongside a classic yet up-to-date interior. The breakfast was plentiful, keeping me satisfied till dinner, and the private smoking room was a nice touch. However, dining options were limited and slightly overpriced.

The location was in a lovely neighborhood with easy access to attractions and good restaurants. The dining experience was amazing. Overall, a great place to stay with some improvements needed in the kitchen and breakfast service.
The hotel rooms are spacious and elegantly appointed, with fantastic bathrooms and very comfortable beds. The service is extraordinarily efficient and kind, making for a very helpful stay. The location is fantastic for exploring Barcelona on foot, although slightly off the beaten path for novice travelers. The dining options are a bit basic and lacking variety. Overall, a great choice for a stay in Barcelona.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The room was spacious and very comfortable, overlooking the courtyard which made it extremely quiet despite being in a busy city. The service was exceptional, helping me with everything from restaurant reservations to providing beach recommendations. The location was perfect for exploring the city and relaxing after a busy day. The dining experience was lovely, although a bit on the expensive side. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay truly enjoyable.
My stay at the hotel was a luxurious and relaxing retreat from my days filled with touring adventures. The rooms were beautiful with an expansive bathroom, but there was a huge stain on the carpet, and the room felt a bit small. The service was top-notch, with over-the-top staff who were universally friendly and displayed professionalism and warm friendliness expected from a high-caliber hotel. The location was extremely convenient, allowing easy access to major underground stations and attractions, though a bit far for walking to the old town or waterfront. The dining experience was excellent, with an array of options beyond imagination. Overall, a great stay despite a few minor hiccups.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were gorgeous, very spacious, and despite lacking mirrors outside the bathroom, they offered a beautiful view of the Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, making it a great value for money experience overall.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were beautiful, clean, and very comfortable, perfect for relaxation or enjoying a cocktail while listening to live music. Room 604 was spacious and faced the street, offering plenty of natural light. The privacy spread across three floors was a bonus, making it a great value for money. However, the dining experience was a bit uninspiring for a hotel of this caliber.
