Our favorite place to stay in Barcelona. Close to Catalunya and Passeig de Gracia metro station. Free food, beer and wine 24 hrs. Cute rooms, great showers. Must be able to do a few stairs (def not ADA compliant). Affordable (not as cheap as St. Christopher's but close!) and authentic.

Pros - This was a wonderful location - you could walk to many dining establishments and stores. There are taxis available right across the street if needed . The 24 hour buffet was a nice touch. The staff was very kind and helpful! FYI - The keys to the room had to be turned in to the desk every time you left, which was different but not a problem. There were several steps to get in, just to get to the elevator which takes you to the lobby which may be a problem for some with mobility issues. My husband had a torn ACL and we struggled a bit, but Im sure if we had called they would have sent someone to help us with bags.

booked under VIP Gold status with promised sparkling wine which i never received...don't offer it if you don't give it...i never expect the upgrade but the wine i expect! This is a charming time warp hotel with stairs to access reception and rooms. There is a small lift for baggage once you negotiate the entry stairs. All day drinks and snack buffet makes this hotel good value and convenient.

Lovely old mansion in a perfect location in Barcelona. The room was very comfortable, clean , excellent air conditioning and spacious. There is food , beer and wine available all day from which can be enjoyed in a beautiful sitting room that feels like Versailles . Perfect location for sightseeing, walking , wonderful restaurants and cafes . I would not recommend this hotel for disabled guests as there are quite a few stairs to negotiate .

It is a gem. A wonderful place to stay. Music nights are a great bonus. 24/7 food and drink in my view is a winner. The staff are very good always know you on return. Being a beautique hotel it is not crowded a real family atmosphere. It is very easy to recommend a stay there.

Great location in Barcelona. Lists of restaurants and shops all around. Very comfortable room and nice buffet for breakfast. Be aware that there are a lot of stairs to get to the lobby. They do have someone to help with baggage, which is great, but if you have an early flight, you’re on your own. There is an elevator, but still some stairs to deal with.

Front door to rooms and walls are thin.. When trying to sleep, I could hear the neighbouring guests speaking or their TV and people talking at reception.

As a 3 star this hotel was amazing. The history and character that it holds is outstanding! Make you feel like you’re a royal with golden walls it truly is photographic. I stayed in the suite which had a hugee sitting area, however the bedroom and bathroom was very small compared to the rest of the room. The bed was so comfy we slept brilliantly. However the bathroom was a let down, there was chipped paint, stains, a broke shower head holder and mould on the glass ceiling. This being said it had no effect on our stay. The location was so convenient, only a few minutes walk to the main square and metros. The staff were amazing! Got greeted at reception and taken to our rooms, they would always say hello around the hotel, just fabulous. The all day food and unlimited drink was so handy and a brilliant touch. Loved our stay!

This is such a cute place to stay. Just for the history and the palace feel alone should be the reason to stay at this hotel. The beds are not the most comfortable or the rooms not very spacious but we still thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend experiencing this hotel for yourself.

One of the staff (male white man on duty 1/25/25) was very rude on his approach towards me as i was walking barefoot to the buffet area. My feet was so sore from all the walking and there was no slipper provided. I understand there should be proper decorum inside thd hotel but what i am not happy about and i dont appreciate him being too loud of reprimanding me like a child infront of our guests. That is not nice. And the fact he told me its the “LAW” and Policy” however i dont see in my many years of traveling i have never known any hotel that would prohibit us from walking barefoot. It was as what i needed and my preference of touching the dirt in their floor not the other way around.

The staff was wonderful. From the two who checked us in, answered any questions we had and arranged for transportation to the train station our last day, Alex who showed us to our room and the ladies who attended the room They had our room ready early too. There is a simple 24/7 buffet which was nice for breakfast and a quick snack. Dinner suggestions were always spot on. I would suggest another person at the desk until midnight. There is construction going on across the street but it was quiet in our room and it fid not affect our stay. Excellent accommodations.

Beautiful public sitting rooms plus a cantilevered sitting room over the walking street outside, big enough for a table and 2 chairs in our beautiful room. Breakfast and beverages all day and evening included. Everyone was so nice and helpful. They have tickets to many local sites available at the front desk. Couldn't be more pleased.
