A real gem of a short term apartments stay in the heart of the Gothic quarter in Barcelona. Superb check-in experience and the staff really took care of us during our stay. The room was very comfortable for me and my wife and two kids, the beds were comfortable, and the decor was beautiful. Will definitely stay here again.

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 :-)

We stayed here in a family room for a long weekend and it was great! Everything was as expected from the property apart from the noise from the room above us. The rooms are not sound proofed and you can hear people talking and even walking around. We would return but would stay on floor 5 ensuring no noise!

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.

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.
