Catalonia Luxury Vacations

The location of the hotel is ideal. Close to Sagrada Familia and easy walking up and down Pg. de Gracia, a main road that connects to La Rambla. The staff were very helpful and attentive to any requests. The rooms were a little on the small side but acceptable considering it is an older building. The room fridge had included refreshments which was a nice touch. The downside to the stay was the noise. We were in a first floor suite over the restaurant. You could hear the music from the restaurant late into the evening. The hallway had almost no sound insulation. Every door that closed sounded like your door opening and closing. You could participate in other travelers conversations if they were talking while walking past your room. When the toilets flushed in adjacent rooms, you heard it clearly. Maybe this is expected in an older hotel but at this price point, I expected not to hear every coming and going of other travelers on my floor. Finally, we booked a Jr. Suite Patio. The room description indicates "in most cases, offer two access points to a balcony overlooking a quiet interior courtyard in the typical style of Barcelona’s Eixample district." Our room had two large windows that opened to a glass floor looking down into the restaurant below. I was expecting a balcony to be something you could step onto within the courtyard. This was not the case.

This was the first hotel we stayed at during our travel (out of 4), and it was by far one of the best stays! The hotel location was perfect for what we were looking for, close to all the main attractions or to transport. Our room was spacious and clean, and we were welcomed with chocolates in our room and a bottle of wine. The bed and pillows were also very comfortable. Now the best part, the hotel staff were awesome! They were extremely helpful with recommendations, providing information regarding fun activities nearby, and even printing out train schedules for us for our planned adventures, we interacted with at least 4 different concierge personnel and they were all great, Igor always went above and beyond to help us, as well as the bellhop gentleman, he was super nice and welcoming too. If we are ever in Barcelona again, we will come back to this hotel.
