El Palace is a grand hotel that oozes with old-world character, yet it doesn't sacrifice on the modern amenities that people demand nowadays of top-flight hotels. It's situated in the heart of Barcelona - all of the main attractions are either within walking distance or a short cab ride away. Service was friendly and helpful - the concierge patiently explained... More

We stayed here for a few days before our cruise. It is a lovely hotel, and the location is excellent too. The only thing I can fault is the beds. They were too firm for our family. We had two rooms, and each of the rooms had a nice sitting area with a fireplace. The breakfast was wonderful too, and... More

We spent two nights at this palace last month. What a luxurious hotel!!! Very well located, just a few minutes walk from Las Ramblas. The staff were helpful and very friendly. We were upgraded to a junior suite (honeymoon trip), elegant and spacious. They even gave us a bottle of Champagne, excellent detail. More

My husband and I are spending our last night at this beautiful hotel tonight and want to complement the entire staff and premises. Celine, the manager, sought us out to introduce herself to us, and has been extremely courteous and friendly. We were upgraded to a junior suite, which is most comfortable. The recent renovations still give it the "old... More

We stayed at El Palace for a week in January and found this to be a luxurious hotel in a great location. The rooms were very spacious and the beds were exceptionally comfortable. We even had a huge walk in closet. I am so pleased that we chose this hotel over other options. The staff were friendly, helpful and quick... More

Only a few minutes walk form the main shopping street of Las Ramblas, this hotel shouldn't be described a hotel, it's more like stepping into a palace. We had a long 13 hour flight and all we wanted was to get to the hotel and do a bit of sightseeing. When we stepped in, your were greeted by a glistening... More

This hotel is just superb, the decor and the staff are fantastic. The only snobbish chap was one on reception on the 7th Jan, the day of arrival who refused to accept our bed and breakfast booking because it was from some inferior travel-agent!! Apart from that we had a superb stay with breakfast not quite the 5 star rating. More

We loved this hotel actually but we found it just a block or two too out of the main area. It was all within walking distance but after a long day, two blocks felt like more then that. I would stay here again but be more prepared for the location. There were always taxis outside and we got around ok. More
