Our room was on the second floor and the room felt super spacious and everything. The ceilings are extremely tall, the bathroom was immaculate. My wife and I stayed here on our last night in Barcelona before flying out. One of the nicest hotels in the Gothic Quarter. Would highly recommend staying here.

The style of the building was so unique, being in the Gothic quarters, you can walk everywhere. Plus, this place was the only cool place in Barcelona! Very good AC. Renovated interior, but the structure kept it's old charm with 12 foot balcony doors, just perfect. Love my stay and would definitely go back!

The hotel was beautiful and the staff were friendly and helpful. It was very clean and well taken care of. The neighborhood was perfect for exploring Barcelona (walkable to most sights and so many amazing restaurants nearby) and going to the beach, the only thing to be aware of is the area is quite loud at night (the hotel provides ear plugs).
