El Lligallo del Gànguil Vacations from $648

This hotel is so-so. It is dated and in need of renovation. The "spa" pool is really dated complete with mirrors from the late 70's/early 80's and a mural. The bathrooms in the pool area are unsightly. Our room had a great view and terrace, but the bed was uncomfortable, the linens were okay, but the decor was very dated. The massage staff, however, were excellent. Unfortunately, navigating the rest of the staff was very difficult unless you speak Catalan - which we do not (English, French, and a tiny bit of Spanish). Although the property advertises parking and valet, it was nonexistent. Same is true for "room service" which was a dicey proposition. The location was terrific and right in the heart of the shopping district and dining. The walk is about 2 blocks to Caldea.

Rooms was very spacious and staff was outstanding.

The menu at rooftop restaurant is quite limited. The area surrounding the hotel is quite safe. We don’t have hot water on the 3nd night. Can’t be bother to notify the maa as management.

Decent property overall, in the heart of Barcelona but rooms were rather small.
