Let the adventures begin at DO Plaça Reial — steps from La Rambla on its namesake square. This restored 19th-century façade features shuttered windows, Juliet balconies, and neoclassical archways. And the rooftop terrace overlooks palm trees and iconic street lamps designed by Antonio Gaudí. Bar Tomate BCN serves delicious tapas and paella dishes downstairs on the patio. And complimentary breakfast is available every morning. Plus, the rooftop pool is a perfect spot to cool off on hot days. Or you can unwind with a session in the sauna. Each space features cable television and a minimalist design with warm wooden furnishings. Outside, the Gothic Quarter has endless cafés, bars, boutiques, and historic landmarks to discover. From impressive basilicas to stunning theatres, like Gran Teatre del Liceu. See the best of Barcelona at DO Plaça Reial. This is a central location and prone to noise.

This property belongs to a collection of boutique hotels powered by Sonder. No two properties are alike, but all offer our mobile-first guest experience.

Starting with the positive - the rooms were nice and the hotel staff were very friendly.

A great location and friendly, helpful staff. The staff made the stay relaxing and were always helpful with all of our requests, including when we asked for sauna time, help with booking tickets to a flamenco show, and hailing a taxi to the airport... We asked the staff for help on numerous occasions and they always responded with friendliness and competency... The one thing that could be improved would be attentiveness to coffee/tea supplies in the room... The coffee machine was great and we would have appreciated having more available, plus plenty of creamer packets... But the whole stay was excellent and we highly recommend the Sondor DO Placa Reial!...

...The room was not ready when I arrived off the MSC Cruise ship much earlier then check in time but Roberto & a lovely young lady were at the desk. They offered to keep my bags and Roberto took a lot of time recommending restaurants and showing me places on the map... The young lady ( sorry I forgot her name) was very helpful with my bags when I returned later to check in... The only issue I had was my adaptor did not work with their plugs but another young lady who worked 9/24 to 11pm ( sorry forgot her name) offered to keep some of my things and use the charger at the lobby desk... Everyone was so very friendly and knowledgeable at the lobby desk... The bathroom was large with a towel heater... They had a tea pot with tea bags & cups to make tea in the morning... If I was there longer, I think I would like my morning coffee/tea up there... My breakfast was included in the cafe outside overlooking the square... I mentioned to the waiter that I was heading to airport and was in a bit of a hurry... He had my scrambled eggs, tomatoes, toast & tea ready in less than 10 minutes and they were absolutely delicious... The service, and charm of this hotel is worth a try... Thank you to Roberto for taking so much time to answer all of my questions... And everyone else at the lobby desk on 9/24- 9/25 were all very very helpful and polite...

A great location and friendly, helpful staff. The staff made the stay relaxing and were always helpful with all of our requests, including when we asked for sauna time, help with booking tickets to a flamenco show, and hailing a taxi to the airport... The views from our room onto Placa Reial were awesome... The bed was comfortable, the room spacious, and we also loved the sauna and got a lot of use out of it... The one thing that could be improved would be attentiveness to coffee/tea supplies in the room... The coffee machine was great and we would have appreciated having more available, plus plenty of creamer packets... Also, more tea varieties would go a long way with making the drink station a better highlight... But the whole stay was excellent and we highly recommend the Sondor DO Placa Reial!...

...The plaza was lively, vibrant and offered many places to eat. We enjoyed eating dinner at night and a mid-day beer at different restaurants in the plaza; it was fun to people watch... Our room was large, clean, well-maintained and had a great view of the plaza below... Yes, the plaza can be noisy at night; but, it's nice noise (people having fun, not rowdy) and the hotel provides earplugs... The included breakfast was delicious and filling (we could not finish our meals)... We were able to walk to most tourist sites... Restaurants and shops are also within walking distance...

...This is a small boutique hotel with only 18 rooms. We were in room 12 which has a juliet balcony that you can even go out on and that has a wonderful view of the historic Placa Reial square... This large square is lined with small restaurants/cafes and there is always something entertaining going on like street performers or scheduled local performances or vendors setting up booths selling everything from art, jewelry, clothes, to antique coins and stamps... If you like music and night life this is a great location... It’s also on the street “Rambles” which is lined with cafes, shops and things to do... The staff here all spoke very good English and were always trying to be helpful in every and any way possible... The included free breakfast was good... Be aware that while the hotel has a bar, it does not really have indoor seating, however you are able to step outside to their tables and chairs and enjoy your drink (and tapas) as well... Room service is not really available, but if you order any food from their kitchen you can always take it up to your room... There’s also a pizza restaurant a few short steps away where you can order Italian to go... Overall, I’d like to strongly recommend this hotel... The location is wonderful and the staff is terrific...

Absolutely great place to stay, fantastic location and comfortable bed... We stayed for four nights and loved it due to its location in the Gothic Quarter and closeness to the Liceu station which allowed us to hop on and get around the city easily... They often photographed pont brisbe is a quick five minute walk, La Rambla (if it’s your thing) is also right by this hotel... We had the King room with balcony and it was idyllic for grabbing a Cortado and standing out on the balcony and just watching the people bustling in the Placa Reial...

...Perfect location and upon check in (Alejandro?... I booked room with private pool/patio and incredible views-I made the mistake of thinking pool was somewhat heated and it is not!... So not worth staying in room w pool unless it’s summer time...

...Perfect location in Philly with nearly every attraction less than a mile. Room nice and clean and every thing you need... Loved the gym, pool table... No cable, but you can stream with their Chromecast easily from your phone or laptop as long as you download your streaming apps...

...Great hotel in the center of Barcelona. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful with any and all requests (Resturant recommendations, more water for the room, etc.)... Our trip was for our wedding anniversary and we were surprised with a beautiful gift from the hotel, wine and a lovely note...

Our first time in Barcelona, arrived Boxing Day for my partner’s birthday and the hotel had supplied a lovely message with ballon and cake in the room for him. The room was spacious and clean with everything you could need... The bathroom was luxurious, we had a great view from the balcony over the square, only down side as smokers was that we were not allowed to smoke on the balcony... The location is perfect to be able to walk to most areas, little tapas restaurants within a stones throw, and plenty of restaurants and bars in the square... Staff are super friendly, special mention to Henry who greeted us on arrival and checked us out... Very helpful with recommendations for places to eat, shows to see, and taxi’s (although there is a taxi rank to the right outside the hotel) Thank you to all the Staff we had an amazing stay at the Sonder, keep up the good work...

...A beautiful hotel in a fantastic location with really helpful and friendly staff. The room was a good size, had a great view with a really comfortable bed and large, well stocked bathroom... The bar and terrace look out onto placa reial and provide a perfect place for wine, tapas and watching everything unfold through the daytime and evening... It can be a little noisy with nighttime revellers, but the hotel provide ear plugs for you...

...The whole reception team welcomed us very well and explained many things about the city and the building... Very comfortable and extremely clean, it is a pleasure to sleep in that bed!... The bathroom is spacious and away from the bed... The arrangement of the furniture and the use of space is very well thought out... The hotel is boutique, cozy and functional... It has a small rooftop pool and a bar that is open from 17:00hs to 00:00hs... On the second floor there is a sauna, which is appreciated in these cold days in Barcelona... You can tell it is a classic hotel but adapted to modern times... You can communicate with the front desk through the Sonder app and by whatsapp!... This service is not part of Sonder but honestly the quality is very good and guess what... it's included!...

...Our room (15) was roomy and comfortable. The bathroom was very nice and stocked with various amenities... He was so helpful in giving advice about how best to see the sights, how to buy tickets, etc... The staff at La Tomate (the restaurant where breakfast is served) were very pleasant as well... All in all, a terrific small boutique hotel and would most definitely stay there again and recommend to others...

Room and bathroom large and glamorous... Location on the plaza was ideal - lots of restaurants and people watching, but when windows and blinds closed room was dark and quiet... Walking distance to many sites and hop-on/hop-off bus...

...We discovered an absolute gem of a hotel called Sonder Placa Reial, just a minute from Rambla de Mar, the famous walking street and bordering on Placa Reial, a beautiful square with a fountain and a number of indoor-outdoor restaurants; all part of the Gothic Quarter. The location is ideal for seeing the sights but also just a 10 minute walk to the very lovely harbour, recently developed... The hotel is also recently renovated with very comfortable new rooms in a classic style and modern bathrooms with everything that you could desire... They served a very good breakfast and we found Pablo, the manager and desk clerk to be courteous, so helpful and kind and efficient... We would certainly return to this hotel and recommend it highly...

This place was such an amazing place to stay. The location was perfect to make it walkable to most things we wanted to see... The subway was close enough to let us get to the rest... They held our bags until our room was ready...

...They offered to keep my bags and Roberto took a lot of time recommending restaurants and showing me places on the map. The young lady ( sorry I forgot her name) was very helpful with my bags when I returned later to check in... Everyone was so very friendly and knowledgeable at the lobby desk... My room was spacious and overlooked the fountain... The bathroom was large with a towel heater... They had a tea pot with tea bags & cups to make tea in the morning... There was also a mini frig and safe, luggage rack and large closet... I took a look a the roof top pool and lounge area... I'm sure I warmer months it wood be a great place to relax after a day in the city and enjoy the spectacular views... If I was there longer, I think I would like my morning coffee/tea up there... My breakfast was included in the cafe outside overlooking the square... He had my scrambled eggs, tomatoes, toast & tea ready in less than 10 minutes and they were absolutely delicious... The service, and charm of this hotel is worth a try...

The room was very nice - large, well-equipped, has a nice little balcony... Everything else was excellent, great location right on the parkway next to the museums, downtown, close to tons of public transit options... Also, check out is 11 but there are storage lockers you can use to put your luggage if you have a later flight, and also a ton of space on the second floor where you can relax and watch tv and hangout until you actually need to head back to the airport...
