I’ve slept on floors with more padding than the beds here. The lobby and hallway were so cute and super promising but then I got to my room with a worn rug, view of a wall and rock hard beds. It’s a cute hotel but I wouldn’t call it 4 stars. I’d also note that there’s a fantastic tapas restaurant across the road called Gastronomic, but when I asked the front desk whether it was good, I was recommended a Michelin star restaurant instead that was completely empty. The lobby staff were friendly and it is very nice downstairs I just found the beds lack of any sort of padding beyond the spring mattress quite disappointing.

I'll start with a special thanks to the staff - especially at the reception who tried the best to find my lost item. It wasn't their fault - but I left a very valuable piece of jewellery at the room and it was stolen by the cleaning staff. They should do a better inspection on the staff profiles. Other than that, lovely experience, location and hotel. The incident was unfortunate.

Dear Ms Arabdha, Thank you for your recent communication. We appreciate knowing that you had an overall enjoyable stay at our hotel and for your kind compliments to our reception team in particular. Following our previous e-mails, we have again checked with the maid that cleaned the room that you occupied. Unfortunately, she insists she did not find your lost items and we believe her. She has worked in the hotel for 15 years and has always proved her honorability in finding and returning various items of value. This is not the first occasion that our staff is initially thought to blame and subsequently guests find their belongings elsewhere. We expect this may be the same situation. Moreover, we understand your disappointment. However, concerning your comment on the internet, please understand that we are compelled to ask Tripadvisor to withdraw your report since it damages the right to honour and image. Please, do not hesitate to contact us in case we can assist you with anything further. We hope to see you again on a future occasion. Kind regards, Pere Fàbregas, Director of sales

My stay ended up being pleasant, the rooms are clean and the staff are mostly friendly (except for one guy.) But if you are a wheelchair user there are a few concerns. I booked the “wheelchair accessible” room. The accessibility part is a bit lacking, the way the bathroom is set up - specifically the way the shower door operates. I ended up moving to a different room halfway through my stay. I was also shocked with the shower bench initially provided when i first arrived, it was actually just a small, plastic table. This is very dangerous for a disabled person to use, as the table legs are shaky, not sure it would support a person’s weight. And even if it did, the smooth plastic surface of the table would ensure i would slip right off with a little soap and water. This was shrugged off by the manager, who simply said they would refund me and I can go find a different hotel. This was absurd to me as he would rather lose customers than invest in a 20-40 Euro shower bench for their disabled customers to shower safely. I am very thankful to Solange, who took full responsibility and located me a proper shower bench from somewhere. She is also very friendly and without her, I wouldn’t have had a good stay. I would stay at Villa Emilia again…

What misses the hotel to have 5 stars? Room service 24/24 instead of starting at 8 pm? Valet parking? Bell captain? In our case we stay with the amazing hotel , the astonishing cleanness, the love for details starting from military style aligned towels in the room, the Occitane amenities,… the exquisite breakfast with the hard crust loaf bread, salmon, Spanish ham, marbled cake,… the softness of the bedsheets, the high professionalism and kindness of the staff in a strong contrast with the usual stiffness of Catalan personal competing with their Parisian counterparts Conclusion, don’t miss the opportunity, if you good to Barcelona, this hotel and its non equivalent quality/price relation, will enchant you.

Amazing place : very good place (very nice rooms, very beautiful rooftop..) with a very tasty food (the breakfast is just crazy with « jamon » y « quesadillo ». Everything for a low price. And you can visit Barcelone by walking (15 min to Mont Juic and 15 min to the main Rambla). This is the place to be. I recommend and I want to go back there as soon as I can !

Nice boutique hotel. Lovely decoration. The rooms are very nice. Good size, beautiful bathroom. Nothing to say. Very strong air conditioning in case you want to freeze 😊. The terasse is great on the last floor. Breakfast is simple and good. Thank you for the nice stay in this hotel. Very reasonable prices vs quality.

Very nice hotel. We really like the room, the roof terass and the staff. Good "corona safe" breakfast. The bread and the yoghurt were delicious. Nice interior in the hotell. The red wine we got for free was very good. We will come back.
