Hotel: gorgeous boutique hotel design, a nice luxurious feel to it, I would like to add the hotel and overall our room smelled so nice - a very nice natural, botanical scent. Reception: Very helpful receptionists, they immediately gave us good recommendations on restaurants as well as sight seeing and exhibitions. A big plus is that through them you can book anything from hop on and hop off to, Casa Batllo exhibition - anything you can think of they can book it for you. It really does save a lot of time. Room: very clean, we really enjoyed the design as well as the small balcony with the street view. The bed and pillows were comfortable and the cleaning service was great. Location: fantastic - everything was walking distance, La Rambla, Barceloneta Beach, Casa Batllo, Placa de Catalunya (where you can get on the hop on, hop off ). The hotel was located near a very nice Breakfast places, I really recommend The Coffee House Barcelona! Regarding dining we had very nice walks to - I am not sure what the area is called but the location of El Nacional restaurant (this area in particular has very nice restaurants).

Good location Reception staff excellent but was very busy as she was the only one working. She kindly reserved cabs and dinner reservations. But when she was helping us, other guests waited. Breakfast was nice

for a city as big as Barcelona, it was quite a quiet area. our bedroom had a street facing balcony which was lovely. the bed was large and very comfortable. breakfast had lots and lots of choices. fresh fruit, yogurts, drinks, cold and hot meat and cheese. we were given gluten free bread, crackers type bread and cookies the first morning. breakfast was 0800 to 1100 which was great for a lie in. shower very powerful and facilities very clean. fridge in the room and kettle with tea bags and coffee sachets.

we didn't get anything gluten free the second morning, other than that, it was perfect.

A lovely, boutique hotel, located in the University district. Attentive, friendly staff. It's about a 20-30 minute walk down to the old district and the harbour, but it's a lovely city to walk around. Our favourite place, just round the corner was Flax & Kale - delicious, very healthy food, with good wines. Our room looked out over the back of other apartments but that didn't really bother us as we were out all the time, some of the rooms had tiny juliet balconies out over the street. Breakfast was great, coffee good but a milk frother would have made it perfect!

Might have wished we were a bit closer to the Gothic district but it made us walk and that's not a bad thing - except when it is bucketing down with rain!

Location was close to shopping and to the metro/subway. The room was well kept, not overly large, but decent. My only complaint is our last night there we set alarms to wake at 7:00 a.m. But there was a short in our lighting system and all the bedroom lights flashed at 5:00 a.m. . . . it went on and off a couple times waking us. Staff couldn't explain it and there and just kind of shrugged it off. No mention of any compensation. We were flying out, and a couple hours extra sleep would have helped. But we liked the hotel.

Great little boutique hotel in a great location. Beautiful rooms, albeit small but perfect for me.

The biggest downside was the terrible wifi. I'm in Barcelona fairly often and as much as I loved the hotel I would not stay here again for this one reason.

Everything from the employees to the location.

Nice, modern, quiet and spacious rooms. Great location. Just a few blocks away from Plaza Catalunya and close to the metro. Thanks to Nenita Torres from housekeeping for helping us with an issue we had with our room when we were changed to a new one. The girl in the reception at night was super helpful.

Our room was extremely hot and you couldn't use/set the AC, it's central. We had a rough first night because we could barely sleep. We asked to get changed the next day. We were supposed to get another twin room but got a double one instead. Had to end up calling housekeeping to separate the beds and get bedding.

Our room had a little private patio which was nice for sitting out in the evening. Room was a good size. It was difficult to control the air conditioning but it did keep the room cool. Only a few blocks from the subway and that made it easy to access the whole city. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Being a smaller hotel, they really got to know their guests.

When we arrived, we found that the patio door to our room would not lock. It did take a few hours to get that sorted but they eventually did get it repaired. That was really the only downside to our stay.

It was a lovely place to stay and convenient to get to things/places that we wanted to see and do in lovely Barcelona. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

There wasn’t anything that I didn’t like although I do feel the bathroom in room 204 needs smartening up. The shower cubicle leaks and obviously has done for awhile - there was a smell of damp in the room. The wood finish trimmings on the vanity unit were coming off. I applauded the sustainability measures with regards towels etc however I felt that the towels were on their last legs and thin therefore I requested clean ones daily. I would not have needed to do this if they had been newer and thicker. These are meant to be constructive comments not deemed as negative. I would stay at Casa Elliot again.
