Perfect location in the Gothic Quarter. The staff os AMAZING! Stayed in a Superior room and it was very nice with lots of space, well-equipped and had a small balcony with a beautiful view of the Quarter. If you're a light sleeper you might want to ask for a room away from the street as the Quarter is pretty lively all night long. Not loud...just lively. Loved everything about this hotel!!

Good location, excellent and helpful staff. Our room had lots of space and a good shower and bathroom counter to get ready but poor lighting for doing hair/makeup. Having a kitchen area was great and the bed was comfortable with lots of extra cushions. We liked staying in the gothic quarter near las Rambla and walkable to other attractions. Would recommend this historic hotel.
