Lovely hotel in a great location
We were pleasantly surprised by this hotel in almost every respect. The room was beautifully decorated, spacious, and light-filled. Everything was immaculate. The staff was helpful and friendly. The kitchen was well-stocked and highly functional. The bed was comfortable, and the shower had great hot water and pressure. Our window opened onto a small, charming square, which was a little noisy at night. Be sure to bring earplugs if you like to go to bed early :-)

6/10 Good

Nice Room/Poor Staff
Nice atmospheric room, good air-conditioning, striking bathroom, good shower pressure. TV has poor selection of English channels. Downside of this hotel is staff. Made initial request for three extra pillows and was told they would be brought up immediately. After three hours and no pillows, made second request. No pillows. Finally, after third request, received pillows. One of only two tiny elevators was working. At busy checkout time, cleaning person with supplies was using only elevator in service. Front desk assured us they could order a taxi that would arrive in the restricted area of the hotel within 15 minutes. When we needed the taxi to get to the port, the hotel said it would be at least 30 minutes and taxi would only do the pickup blocks from the hotel.

8/10 Very Good

Location amazing, excellent staff…
The location is great for being in the gothic area, but is a rougher location. It caught us off guard the first time we stayed there. The staff here, specifically Jr is amazing. The hotel is in good shape and very walkable to so much, specially history and shopping. Just be careful and be aware of your surroundings, specially at night.

The room we stayed it was quite nice. We enjoyed being in the center of the Gothic Quarter. But be warned, the Quarter does not sleep. The over night front desk person was wonderful. He gave us lots of suggestions on things to do and places to eat!

Decent property in gothic Square, quite noisy until late nights, also the lane next to the hotel is quite shady and seems like a garbage dump for many late night party goers. Advantage is that you are in center of town and close to everything including Las Ramblas

Beautiful property. Staff was friendly and helpful. There are no restaurants onsite at the hotel as advertised, but there are plenty of options nearby. There was some noise from the street at night as it is a busy area - but it is in a prime central location. Unfortunately the construction across the street did damper the view from the room.
