9.4/10 Exceptional! (152 reviews)

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!
