Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Circa 1905, with its authentic Spanish feel, provides spacious rooms, some featuring delightful terraces. Its prime location puts guests within easy walking distance of attractions, including Casa Mila, just steps away. Many appreciate the included breakfast, while the 24-hour access to Nespresso and water is another plus; however, some guests have experienced rooms lacking natural light. The hotel's unique decor and proximity to tapas places and the metro enhance the Barcelona experience.

Charming Boutique Stay

antique furnishings comfortable bed fabulous position helpful staff
I appreciated the antique furnishings. The bed felt comfortable and the linen seemed luxurious. It was easy to walk to most sights due to its fabulous position. Maria and the team provided the best tips for local restaurants such as Vinitus and Mana 75, they were also helpful with storing my bags because of a late flight.
Climbing the stairs with heavy luggage wasn't ideal. The bathroom sometimes had a strong drain smell in the mornings.

non-functional tv loud disco
My room faced an internal courtyard. It lacked any view. The TV did not work. It was quite disappointing. The bathroom felt more like something from a budget hostel. A disco underneath the premises made sleep impossible, especially since I received no prior warning about the noise. I think the owners are just trying to squeeze money out of guests rather than being good hosts.

Good Stay in a Beautiful Setting

great selection important sites helpful staff
The breakfast was fantastic and offered a great selection of items to start the day. The location made it easy to reach important sites. I was just steps from Casa Mila. The staff were very helpful. They ensured my stay was comfortable and addressed all my needs promptly.
The stairs presented a challenge with my heavy luggage. There was no elevator to assist with the ascent.

The breakfast included croissants, cheese, and fresh juices. The custom-made jam was very delicious. I enjoyed the wonderful terrace included with my room. It was wonderful.
The hotel is in an apartment within a building used for businesses. The front door was squeaky.

Really good Stay, A Historic Gem!

supportive staff buffet-style breakfast really good location
The hotel had an authentic feel, showcasing the true culture. The friendly and supportive staff were ALWAYS ready to help. I found the included buffet-style breakfast great and quite satisfying. The location was really good. I couldn't have asked for a better place.
There was NO bottle of water provided in my room, which I found inconvenient. The tv did not work. The bathroom was to be a bit run-down. There was a disco underneath the hotel , made it hard to fall asleep.
