La Riera de Gaia Vacations from $650

My wife and I loved this 3 star Barcelona gem. Our room was a premium room in a safe location on Passeig de Gràcia. The hotel room had plenty of space, a king sized bed, an excellent breakfast, and terrific proximity to the major sightseeing spots. Plenty of quality restaurants in the area. The boutique hotel has excellent features including a large dining area, reading room, and our room had a large bathroom. The four night stay was enhanced greatly by the relationships we were able to establish with warm and friendly staff who shared the wonderful places Barcelona has to offer, like La Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, the Cathedral of Barcelona, and even a night at the theatre to see Flamenco dancers. If you're looking for an intimate and cozy lodging experience with peace and quiet and an excellent breakfast, this is the place!

Room was spacious and clean, Joan on reception was excellent. Well located for the train station to the airport.

Property was we situated in an area that was easy walkable to shopping and restaurants. Clean and nice staff. Breakfast buffet had a very nice selection. A/C was not working very well, reported situation twice but even with repair not very cool. Center of hotel is completely open so you can see from the lobby to the top floor, this also means the sound is free to travel....at times it felt like the people in the lobby were in our room. Parking garage is fine for small cars. We had to switch to an outdoor lot to better accommodate our rental vehicle size.

The clean rooms, the super-friendly and ready-to-help staff at the reception, the exceptional super yummy breakfast which is waaaaaay better than the continental breakfast in the American hotels, the perfect location from where you can walk to the main attractions of Barcelona - all this is super-super-super good. The thing that you should never do there is to try taking something from the breakfast area, even if you want to enjoy the hot chocolate in your room later (because you only have tea and coffee there) - there is a specially trained lady in the breakfast area who is always carefully watching for any thief of hot chocolate!!! Be aware of her if you don't want to feel embarrassed, because not a single hot chocolate thief will ever pass her control, ha-ha )))

Hotel Ilunion Bel Art is a great, affordable option that is within convenient walking distance to La Sagrada Familia and what feels like hundreds of restaurants and gift shops.
