Previous reviews were right on target for the location, cleanliness, and staff helpfulness. This hostal (originally was likely a very large flat/apartment that has been divided into several rooms with private shower, sink and toilet). The rooms designed for singles are small and the doubles range in size but are very nice. The patio off of three back rooms is... More

We loved the feeling of staying in someone's apartment rather than a hotel in this perfectly situated (central for both Gaudi touring and old city sites) urban B&B. Sergio and Abel have created a quirky, comfortable, charming place so that waking up for breakfast on the terrace or in the sitting room and returning after a day of touring, you... More

Almost hidden behind a "usual" front door, you don't only enter a hostal. No, you step into a world of farytales. No stuff is accidently. Every vase, every bowl of ceramic and glass, every piece of furniture and every painting have to be at THIS place. Everything is harmonizing with each other, in lovely perfection. Warm coloured rooms support the... More

We stayed here after our cruise and were delighted with the caring attitude of all staff. We were assisted with all our airline changes by staff who interpreted for us as our Spanish was barely passable. Directions to good tapas eateries were generously provided; our heavy luggage was carried up flights of stairs for us; the internet was free; the... More

My mom, sister, cousin and I stayed at the hotel in September of 2011. I have done my share of travelling and staying in different hotels, this by far has been my best experience. The owners and staff makes you feel like you are the only ones they are catering to even though there are other guests. They were friendly... More

This place was like taking a step back into the past (think red velvet), in a good way. Our room was small (normal size for Barcelona though) but very well-appointed, with an excellent blend of tasteful antiques and modern amenities. Apparently the owners regularly comb Barcelona's antique markets and bring home quality pieces. The staff were helpful while being unobtrusive... More

I stayed here with my friend when we went for a weekend to Barcelona. I found this hotel on TA and the reviews sounded so good. When I checked on their website, the location is second to none. The people running this place are doing such a good job. They are very attentive and helpful. The only drawback was the... More

We stayed at L'antic espai for 5 nights and had a great time. Our room number was 105. It contained a matrimoninal bed. The room was not so big but was sufficient. The closet was good. The bathroom was tiny. It also had free wifi, a small tv in the roof with satellite channels and access to a big terrace... More

The Hotel deserves the good reviews. Super friendly staff, rooms are attractive with comfortable beds, clean bathroom and plenty of hot water. Breakfast is pleasant and plentiful (simple breakfast) either out on the terrace or inside in the salon. The keyless entry was fantastic, we never had to worry about losing a key or coming in too late after exploring... More
