I had a fabulous stay at this hotel! The rooms are modern, clean, and have everything needed for a comfortable stay. The location is excellent, right in the heart of the Gothic quarter with plenty of attractions nearby. The service was beyond helpful, and the staff graciously assisted with booking tickets and ordering taxis. However, the dining experience was a bit lackluster with limited options available.

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and had a great experience overall. The rooms were spacious with a king-size bed and a terrace featuring a jacuzzi. The kitchenette was nicely designed, including a Nespresso coffee maker. The location was perfect, right in the Gothic Quarter, making it easy to explore the city. The service was always friendly and helpful. However, the downside was the proximity to the unclean and unsafe Gothic quartal.

My stay at the hotel was just perfect! The rooms were like a small apartment, super comfortable and clean, plus having a balcony was a great touch. The service was top-notch, with welcoming and attentive staff who made my experience even better. The location within the Gothic Quarter was superb, offering the best of Barcelona without the hustle and bustle. However, the dining options were a bit limited, and there was a small token effort in that area. Despite that, the overall value for money was excellent.

The hotel offers a unique mix of old and modern in its spacious and clean rooms, making it a truly remarkable stay. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, even providing a complimentary bottle of wine. The location was perfect for exploring Barcelona, although the old surroundings can be a bit noisy at times. The dining experience, right outside the front door, was convenient but limited. Overall, a fantastic experience with some minor room for improvement.
