What guests think

Reviews of Primero Primera highlight a serene, upscale residential setting, spacious and stylish rooms, warm hospitality, and quality dining, drawing praise for comfort and calm while noting the trade-off of being outside Barcelona’s busiest tourist areas.

The garden, courtyard and small pool create a peaceful retreat, with a cozy lounge/bar and on-site parking also mentioned. Cleanliness is consistently high, though a few guests reported bathroom drainage or stocking issues and an occasional musty odor. A few service lapses were noted, including unhelpful tour assistance, mishandled luggage after checkout, and denial of a short late checkout. Expect a refined, quiet boutique stay with easy metro access rather than a central, high-energy base.

We have stayed in Hotel Primero Primera for two nights and it was a great experience. Hotel is in the residential area, with a parking space for hotel visitors. We booked a suit room and it was quiet and spacious. Staff was great, restaurant was pretty good.

The hotel is in a quiet location, about 15 minutes from the city. It is well appointed. We had a spacious room with a balcony. The meal area both inside and outside in a courtyard is very comfortable. The food and service is excellent. There is a comfortable lounge. The pool is not large enough for swimming. The reception was very friendly, helpful and efficient.

We had a truly wonderful stay. Our family stayed for three nights, and it was such a comfortable and satisfying experience that we are sure to stay here again the next time we visit Barcelona. What we liked most were the interior design, the spacious rooms, the delicious breakfast, the garden, the tranquil neighborhood, and the warm hospitality. Another highlight for me was that the amenities were from Natura Bissé, one of my favorite brands. This hotel seems tailored for well-traveled, cultured guests with refined taste, and perhaps not ideal for those seeking something flashy. We noticed that we were the only Asian guests during our stay; while we never felt unwelcome, the overall impression was that this hotel appeals more to the European upper class. The property is not ostentatious but instead carefully curated with tasteful wallpapers, furniture, and décor—deserving to be called a small luxury hotel. While the breakfast spread was not extensive, the quality was excellent, and although the menu remained the same for all three mornings, we were still more than satisfied. Guests seemed to enjoy breakfast in a calm and relaxed atmosphere, without overfilling their plates. Tea options even included roasted Japanese hōjicha, and when ordering tea, it was charmingly served in a cast-iron teapot similar to nanbu-tekki. Lastly, the area is very safe, so even when we returned around 11 p.m. walked from a nearby restaurant, we never felt uneasy.

Mycket hög klass. Fantastiska och stora rum, mysiga allmänna ytor med bar, restaurang och uteplats. Trädgård med liten pool och solstolar. Utmärkt service och familjevänligt. Stort plus att hotellet ligger i tyst och vackert bostadsområde. Mycket nära till tåg och buss och enkelt att parkera bilen inne i hotellet eller ute på gatan.

This was a higher priced hotel. It didn't have drainage in the bath, and the sink backed up badly. The shower sprayed the whole bath. All the hotel did to deal with that was put a rolled up towel in the floor. The room was understocked, so calling for more coffee, milk, etc. was constant. The food wasn't good either. I wouldn't go back.

Overall, loved the property and the room -- big fans of our stay! Warned of some incoming noise with construction, which was much louder than anticipated so limited our time with the actual hotel (we escaped the noise). could hear the other room quite a bit despite being the top floor. Also had some issues where my key kept getting deactivated after one use (many times) which was a pain, but overall not a massive deal. Bed stiff, but big fan of the area -- if you aren't into walking a good bit or taking Ubers, you can find more hotels centrally located. This was more of a residential and local area that was great, but really depends on your needs. We really enjoyed it and it fit our style. Expedia gave me VIP Access which gave us nothing (we didn't need parking; no breakfast or other amentites) but otherwise highly recommend.

This hidden gem was just a short drive into the heart of the Barcelona City Center. They had unquestionably the best and most helpful front desk staff of any hotel in which I've ever stayed. They helped get tix we needed, arranged all our cab rides (including a 3:30 AM shuttle to the airport), and every restaurant recommendation they made was spot on. The room was very large and very comfortable. I would be hard pressed not to stay here again on any future trip to Barcelona.

The hotel was a charming boutique hotel in a safe area. The restaurant inside the hotel was excellent. We were disappointed in the local touring reservations made by the front desk to visit key landmarks in Barcelona. The front desk was not helpful in helping us planning our day- we missed 2 tour completely and when we asked the front desk to pass along our issues to the hotel director it seemed as though they ignored passing along our concerns.

The room was very nice and quiet. However, the receptionist lost our luggage after checkout. The hotel did not have tags on each luggage so it was mistaken for other guests' luggage. We had to wait for an hour and a half until the driver brought it back. The hotel staff did not show apology enough and there was no service while waiting at the lobby. Quite upset about the staff's service. 閑静な住宅街にあるホテルで、客室は素晴らしかった。ただ、残念なことにチェックアウト後、荷物をフロントに預けたところ、荷物が紛失してしまった。荷物にタグをつけるなどの管理をしていなかったようで、他のゲストの荷物に紛れて持ち出されてしまったよう。結果的に荷物は戻ってきたが、1時間半ロビーで待たされた挙句、飲み物などのサービスもなく、スタッフもあまり謝罪の様子もなかった。宿泊自体は素晴らしかったため、最後のスタッフの対応が大変残念だった。

Not far to metro and to place Catalonia or La Rambla, great restaurants, great staff and relaxing. We are going back in a few days after a trip to Morocco and can't wait to return to this gem. Formula 1 fans also will find it extremely interesting
