I'll not repeat the majority of what has been said, its a great place and without any doubt better than any other hotel in Barca.

Ideal for romantics but NOT under 12's, even though they will add an extra bed for 50Euros a night.

Just a few "adds".

It is VERY VERY difficult to locate, we were there for 2 nights and got lost every time we ventured out - and even the owner of the bar in the next alley way didn't know where they were!!!

Book a superior room - they have a safe + they face the square and not the adjacent apartments.

Don't expect a scenic view from any window though!

Breakfast is expensive at 18Euros ...BUT...like the place itself its an experience, don't miss it out!

Barca is, contrary to popular opinion, a safe place if you take care and be sensible.

Sadly the square behind the hotel is very peaceful, so it attracts some vagrants, we counted 5 one evening- who enjoy the delights of sleeping on cardboard in the corners.

They aren't agressive, they just want to sleep- but it does take the gloss off you enjoying the opulence from within- guilt maybe??????

They can't get rid of them as the police say they aren't breaking the law.

Restaurants start serving at 9pm onwards- plenty to choose from.
PLA, which is just around the corner from Neri is ideal if you don't want to walk too far- good food as well.

The Neri is not cheap - but for a short stay its well worth it.
Not just a place to stay but an experience - much enhanced if you like the smell of joss sticks , being attended to by "beautiful people" and appreciate detail - such as the condoms in the mini bar - honest!!! :)

Spent five nights in the Neri before a cruise, and loved every minute of it. The rooms are beautiful, with plasma TV, CD player, dimmers on all the lighting, exquisitely comfortable beds, and the most wonderful bathroom to be found in any hotel anywhere!

The staff was gracious and accommodating, catering to our every whim. The location is perfect - right in the heart of the old area, on a pedestrian street with no traffic noise. Yes, it is a little hard to find your first time there (use their airport pickup service just to spoil yourself and avoid any trouble getting there the first time) but once you are there you won't want to leave!

Rooms are fully equipped (with a safe big enough for storing your valuables), and the amenities provided are top notch. If it is hot (as it was during our stay) the air-conditioning is outstanding - you can pratically cause frost on your windows if you like. They change the towels during nightly turn down service if you have even moved them during the day.

All in all - I would go back there in a heartbeat!

2 nights at the Neri proved to be a fabulous choice! The hotel is located adjacent to the Cathedral, but on a quiet pedestrian street slightly off the beaten path. The service was nothing to brag about, but the rooms were modern and new. (Expensive food and no snacks or ability to bottled water, though.) Great amenities and great shower! Especially great for an American used to American hotels and shocked by European room sizes and styles. The front desk operates as concierge desk and everyone wears multiple hats at this property. Note: I recommend having the hotel send for a taxi to meet you at the airport as most people do not know this property.

WARNING: watch out for your belongings at all time.
We would have loved our two day staying at this precious hotel if it wouldn't have turned to the nightmare of being stolen in our own room by its personel. The hotel management declines all responsability and never take any step to disclose what happened. The appartements are nice, decoration original, but no design is worthy lack of security. Stay away from this hotel, it isn't worthy the trouble.
