Travellers describe Praktik Èssens as a small, centrally located boutique hotel with friendly, helpful staff, very clean spaces, and thoughtful perks like all day coffee and an evening happy hour, making it a convenient base for sightseeing and short stays.
The location beside Passeig de Gràcia puts Gaudí landmarks, shops, restaurants and transport within easy walking distance. Service is widely praised as welcoming and proactive, with help for reservations, luggage and other requests. Rooms feel modern and often quiet, though some are small and a few guests noted firm or aging mattresses, awkward bathrooms, or showers that leak. Expect a stylish, well run base in the heart of Barcelona.

Great location just five minutes from plaza de catalunya. Quirky style and so clean and comfortable. Very friendly reception staff and although breakfast not included there's plenty places nearby to eat. Nice touch was free wine and snacks in the upstairs reception at 6 o'clock every evening. Would definitely stay again.

We really enjoyed the location, very central. Lots of shopping available nearby. The hotel amenities were great; a nice common lounge area where they have a coffee/espresso maker, filtered water dispenser, comfortable seating & an outdoor rooftop patio. They host a happy hour every evening, serving wine & snacks on the house. We had an unfortunate food poisoning experience from a nearby restaurant & the staff went above & beyond to help us. We needed a doctor to come to our room & they arranged it & then went to the pharmacy across the walkway from the hotel to fill a prescription for us. The room was lovely, very roomy & quiet. We were in room 105, next to the elevator, which was initially a concern, but there was no noise from it at all. I would make one suggestion; ask if the mattress has been replaced recently, ours was sagging a bit on both sides but not to the point that we couldn't sleep.

Wow what a beautiful and great hotel. The terrace lounge was great too. The room was large and clean. The bathroom was nice too. The location was perfect (a block and a half from Casa Ballroom!) and so close to bus and train options to any place in the city. Barca is a wonderful place!

Perfect location! Very safe location. Cool boutique hotel with serene lounge and outdoor terrace area for all residents to enjoy. We walked everywhere to see and do what we intended during our four day visit in Barcelona. Rooms are sound proof. No noise at all from the outside city streets. Bed and bed linens are high quality and very comfortable. Rooms are a bit small. However, we had a king size bed and good space for all our belongings. Cleaning service for our room was done daily and thoroughly. The entire staff was very friendly, helpful and extremely accommodating. All spoke English which was a plus for us. We definitely would stay here in the future and highly recommend it to anyone looking for hotel accommodations in Barcelona.

Location is excellent, most sights are within walking distance. Hotel rooms are on the smaller side but given it's in a historic building, it is understandable. The shower area has a few places that appears to be moldy, might require some deep cleaning. Bed is comfortable. Would be nice to have iron and ironing board in the room.

Very comfortable room in a nice quiet hotel right next to El Nacional restaurants. But at the same time, just a few steps away from Pg. de Gracia …..so a perfect location for exploring the city and an easy journey to the airport via the Metro. Our only suggestions for improvements would be to put a fridge in the room and to provide some hooks for hanging up the damp bath towels to dry.

Overall the hotel was great. You really cant beat the price for the central location on Passeig de Gracia. Hotel was very clean and the room was tidy and spacious enough for 2 ppl. Shower was nice and big. The happy hour nightly was also a nice touch and the water bottles. A few comments if the hotel wanted to reach “luxury” would be to give us a new bar of soap when cleaning the room cause you just keep the original one they give you and it becomes quite small. Also the bed and pillows were not very comfortable, but liveable for us for only 2 nights. Staff was very friendly and helpful, thanks!

Pretty disappointed in this hotel for what we paid. Because of the weekend we paid 500euros a night with all the fees and this hotel is definitely only a two star as rated. We decided to book it because of the reviews and the only thing I would give it a high rating for is location as it's very central. We got one of the nicer rooms and there was no phone or water in the room. I called the front desk and was told 'because that room doesn't have a phone. Yes- but why I responded and was told that it wasn't functioning. The room was also on the main road so you could hear a lot of noise during the evening. The next morning I asked to talk to the manager because I wanted to at least change rooms and was told they would give me a call. Surprise surprise no call with the two nights I was there although I was assure the manager would give me a call. Besides that - breakfast was not included and the rooms and hotel are really not that nice. The hallways are incredibly dark even during the day bc of no windows, the rooms are older, there's no real closet only a makeshift corner with a hanging area. This place was incredibly disappointing especially for the price and I'm really not understanding the good reviews. The fact there was not even a courtesy call by one of the employees was very disappointing but they did get me a phone for the room the next day.

We really enjoyed the location, very central. Lots of shopping available nearby. The hotel amenities were great; a nice common lounge area where they have a coffee/espresso maker, filtered water dispenser, comfortable seating & an outdoor rooftop patio. They host a happy hour every evening, serving wine & snacks on the house. We had an unfortunate food poisoning experience from a nearby restaurant & the staff went above & beyond to help us. We needed a doctor to come to our room & they arranged it & then went to the pharmacy across the walkway from the hotel to fill a prescription for us. The room was lovely, very roomy & quiet. We were in room 105, next to the elevator, which was initially a concern, but there was no noise from it at all. I would make one suggestion; ask if the mattress has been replaced recently, ours was sagging a bit on both sides but not to the point that we couldn't sleep.

Perfect location! Very safe location. Cool boutique hotel with serene lounge and outdoor terrace area for all residents to enjoy. We walked everywhere to see and do what we intended during our four day visit in Barcelona. Rooms are sound proof. No noise at all from the outside city streets. Bed and bed linens are high quality and very comfortable. Rooms are a bit small. However, we had a king size bed and good space for all our belongings. Cleaning service for our room was done daily and thoroughly. The entire staff was very friendly, helpful and extremely accommodating. All spoke English which was a plus for us. We definitely would stay here in the future and highly recommend it to anyone looking for hotel accommodations in Barcelona.

Wow what a beautiful and great hotel. The terrace lounge was great too. The room was large and clean. The bathroom was nice too. The location was perfect (a block and a half from Casa Ballroom!) and so close to bus and train options to any place in the city. Barca is a wonderful place!

This is a very cute hotel and our 4 day stay here was superb. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They gave us some great recommendations for places to eat. The morning breakfast/coffee bar was nice, but don’t be late. We also enjoyed the evening wine/snacks every evening. We will be back if we come to Barcelona again.

2년전 여행 때 너무 만족해서 다른 곳 알아보지도 않고 다시 방문했어요. 위치가 정말 좋고, 아침엔 간단한 먹을 것, 하루종일 커피머신 이용할 수 있고, 저녁에 해피아워로 와인과 간단한 스낵을 제공하는 것도 유용합니다. 방은 조금 작은 편이지만 문제될 정도는 아니고 스탭들도 엄청 친절해요. 다음에 와도 여기 묵을 거에요!

This is a cute boutique hotel right next to El Nacional and some shopping area. Staff is friendly, check-in is easy & quick. We got the room we requested and the room is clean & roomy for Barcelona'. Only thing I don't like is the shower, which the door can't be completely closed creating some water leak every time we shower and the side seal fall out once that we had to put it back. There's only 1 knob hanger but was put it on the opposite side of the door, so basically you cannot access your towel when you get out of shower, which we found it weird. Other than that, I would likely to stay in this hotel in the future due to the location & comfort/cleanness of this hotel. They also provide coffee/tea in their lounge area (all day) and some donuts/muffin in the morning.

Great location just five minutes from plaza de catalunya. Quirky style and so clean and comfortable. Very friendly reception staff and although breakfast not included there's plenty places nearby to eat. Nice touch was free wine and snacks in the upstairs reception at 6 o'clock every evening. Would definitely stay again.
