What guests think

Reviews of Hotel Boutique Mirlo Barcelona depict a tranquil boutique retreat in a quiet residential area near the Metro, with notably friendly, attentive staff and comfortable rooms that often include in-room saunas, steam showers, and whirlpool tubs.

Many guests praise the serene gardens, pool, and excellent on-site dining, while a few mention slow restaurant pacing or a breakfast that felt limited.

Charming atmosphere in a historical previous residence with a backyard covered area for lounging and dining (excellent food!) surrounded by fruit trees and a beautiful garden. The rooms were comfy with all the extras you need to make it special. The staff were accommodating and friendly and always willing to make the stay enjoyable. They were so patient with a couple of later nights we spent having drinks outside with our good friends from home who met us in Barcelona--never complained or asked us to "wrap it up"! The lobby was well decorated to preserve the original decor but with modern touches. In the hotel's library you will find the famous book "La Sombra del Viento" written by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, a well known Spanish and International Author from the early 1900's. The location is a bit on the edge of the city but it was a nice respite from the hustle & bustle of a very busy Barcelona.

This place is amazing. The food is excellent. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The breakfast is top notch. Our room was spotless every day and full of amenities. Great bed, great shower, lots of space. The concierge was incredible. Went above and beyond one day to help us get a last min private tour set up at a winery they recommended. We didn’t have anything planned and at 1pm they got us an amazing experience set up at a beautiful spot. The winery themselves went above and beyond just because the concierge from our hotel had been the ones to set things up. Amazing place, can’t recommend enough when staying in Barcelona. It’s about 15-20 min outside of the main area so you will have to commute a bit but the area is quiet and safe so that makes up for it. It’s kind of nice after a long day in the city to be in such a peaceful area.

Stayed 4 nights in April 2025. This is not really a 5* hotel, I would say 3.5* max. If you expect 5* service and amenities, then this one is not for you. The major problem we faced was that the AC to our room never really worked. We went to complain 5 times in 24h, but they couldn't or weren't willing to fix it, so we basically gave up trying. We didn't want to ruin our vacation by stressing over uncomfortable temperatures when we wanted to relax. It wouldn't stop at the temperature we set it at. Go to bed put it lower to 21, wake up at 18, warm up during day to 21, come back from trip, now the temperature is 24... For a Motel6 I wouldn't care too much, but this is supposed to be a 5*. Hammam inside room was very nice, takes about 25 min to heat up. Rooms were small and clean. Property was well maintained. Wouldn't advise to stay here, and we will for sure not stay here anymore.

The property is very nice, and it does feel like a true 5-star property with under 20 rooms and nice amenities. My experience was probably out of the ordinary but I genuinely did not enjoy my time here. I booked the lowest priced room (by choice, it was only 1 night and I planned to explore the city most of the day). The room was small, and obviously does not include the same spa amenities are the more expensive rooms, nor does it include breakfast which will be an extra 23 Euro. I woke up at 1:30am to use the restroom and the toilet broke, causing a loud water running noise to go on until the staff could fix it, over 40 minutes from start to finish. I had to wake up and get dressed so the staff could enter the room and fix it. I received a very disingenuous apology afterwards. I had a somewhat early international flight the next day so this was inconvenient. At breakfast the next morning, my meal was improperly cooked and I had to decline the plate and leave quickly to catch my flight as I didn't have time to wait for the food to be re-made. Also, the service in the restaurant is VERY slow unless you are comfortable waving over the staff each time you need something or to get the bill. For both meals there, it was only one server staffed for the entire restaurant so they are too busy to attend to everyone as expected.

Room was amazing. Steam shower, sauna and whirlpool tub. My favorite was the steam shower. Tub is more for soaking sore muscles and jets are more for bubbles than massage. Meat restaurant across the street is not recommended. Not friendly to Americans or English speaking people. Suggestion to bring along Epsom salt for the bath because local pharmacies don’t carry them.
