This sleek, new and modern hotel is carved out of the remains of a centuries old structure. Glass fronted, loft style ceiling height, open bathroom and shower, light switches that are sensor controlled, Loewe toiletries, a huge bed and very very luxurious bed linen. Add to this the friendly Spanish staff and there is little more one could ask for bang in the heart of this eclectic city.

The hotel is situated on a very narrow street, barely wide enough for 1 car. It is surrounded by shops, restaurants, museums, and a short walk from the harbour and it is easy to find something to suit the tourist, the adventurer, or the local haunts seeker.

We just returned from staying 3 nights at this small luxury hotel. It was a pleasure from the moment we wallked in the door until we left. The hotel is built into the old walls of the Gothic quarter and the architect combined new and old in a stunning way. Ths overall ambience is extraordinary and we loved the feel of the hotel. We were upgraded to a junior suite which was quite spacious, a shame we could not use the balcony due to the weather. The staff could not have been more accomodating from the the tour they gave us when we arrived to a cup of coffee while we were checking out quite early in the morning. I loved the old streets around the hotel, and in truth it is easy to walk to almost anywhere from this location. We are already looking forward to our next visit. Bravo to the team there who are working hard to make this a very special place!

We have just completed a 4 day stay in Barcelona and were so pleased we chose this fabulous new hotel after hours of research. From the moment we arrived until we left, our experience at the Mercer was first class. We stayed in a Junior Suite and were thrilled to have our own gorgeous outdoor deck/garden area. Everything in the room was lovely (king size bed, bathroom and decor). The staff were so friendly, informative and professional, much more than staying at any of the larger chains. After exploring other areas of Barcelona, we were so glad we choose the Gothic Quater for great shopping (boutiques and one off shops) as well as the great dining options/tapas bars all within walking distance. We were very happy with the dining at the Mercer, including the breakfast and bar.
Thank you to all the wonderful staff at the Mercer for making the end of our European trip most memorable. We will certainly return and recommend this hotel to all of our Australian friends and family.

A great 5 star experience in the middle of the Gothic quarter in the old town of Barcelona. The original Roman walls of the ancient city are actually part of the building and are visible inside. We did not eat dinner at the restaurant as there are numerous excellent places nearby that we wanted to try instead. Breakfast was of a very high standard. If you go, do not miss the rooftop terrace and the excellent tapas bar that is also part of the hotel.

The room (junior suite) was spacious enough, had a modern, minimalist interior of a very high standard. It is difficult to mention anything we did not like in fact - perhaps the lights and lamps in the room could be better arranged, but this is purely subjective. Also, this is a typical place for couples or families with older children, if you have small kids, I would look elsewhere.

At last but not at least : the staff was extremely helpful and genuinely very nice (barmen, waitresses, receptionists, everyone).

Thanks for a great weekend and keep up the good work!
