We stayed in 2 room with our teen girls in the heart of the Gothic Quarter. Mercat Boqueria was just a 5 mins walk, very close to Plaça de Catalunya and lots of nearby shopping. The receptionists were super friendly and very helpful in getting us taxis and printing vouchers for our tours. It was a great value for the room with a nice cold fridge, and all the kitchen necessities if you wanted to stock groceries and eat in a few meals.

Beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of the gothic quarter in Barcelona. The building is stunning, our triple room was lovely with a huge double bed and a really comfortable sofa bed, the staff were super polite and really helpful and the rooftop pool was perfect! Highly recommended!

We spent 3 nights at this charming hotel in the Gothic quarter. The location is central and near the metro. The hotel is beautifully decorated in character with the surrounding area. The rooms are tasteful and spacious with every convenience and a very well equipped kitchenette with a good size fridge, microwave and electric cooker. The staff were helpful. We had a lovely Juliette balcony that when open we felt like we were in the middle of the square and when closed it was quiet and the rooms are well air conditioned.

This hotel is beautiful inside and out. An old palace it still has original wall paintings. Large rooms with beautiful bathrooms. Ours had a balcony looking over a busy square and into the streets. Central position so convenient for going everywhere. Staff very friendly and helpful - we stayed here twice in a couple of months.

We loved the family room(s)- spacious adjoining spaces, large windows, comfortable bedding and great decor. We even had a small kitchen facility in the room (hob, microwave, crockery etc!). Very handy with children. The location is fabulous, right in the gothic quarter, within easy walking distance of many attractions, and lovely strolls wherever you turn. We even got to enjoy the roof terrace, an unexpected delight in February. We managed to catch much needed sun, and one of us even ventured a swim!!! The rooms are very quiet and easy to ventilate. The staff downstairs were always helpful and patient. No breakfast room, but room service available in the mornings. We had no need of that, as the area offers so many nice cafes. Thank you for making our stay so relaxing and pleasant!…
