Terrace room pool was unsatisfactory. Unheated and filled with algae. I wouldn’t go in this pool even if it was heated. Not happy I paid extra for it. Crickets chirping outside our room all 3 nights in hallway and resonating. Didn’t get a wink of sleep. Our host/concierge Victor was amazing. Very helpful and some great English. Location can’t be beat. Right on the square. A few clean ups and it would get 5 stars.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Clean and spacious (for Europe) room, very helpful staff. Two things stood out for me in particular: 1) excellent adjustable shower pressure - better than almost any hotel I've stayed at, and better even than what I have at home; 2) electric tea kettle in the room - I can't tell you how many times during my past travels I have had to call housekeeping to beg for a kettle, and half of the time they would refuse it (either the shortage of kettles or "fire safety reasons," which is ridiculous as electric kettles all have an automatic turn-off switch). At DO by Sonder, upon check in there was both the coffee machine and a separate electric kettle in the room, the latter being useful for tea or instant coffee (which I prefer to machine brew). Placa Reial can get quite noisy (and I was there on the Halloween night, so the partying was going on all night long). But the balcony doors were fairly good at keeping the noise out. And if like me you are slow to roll out of bed in the morning, the prospect of several cafes waiting for you with warm croissants downstairs on the square is definitely motivating.

Perfect hospitality
A lovely boutique hotel in a great location. Very friendly, helpful staff. The rooms were very comfortable and quiet with all the amenities that you required. To be able to look out of one’s bedroom window onto the Placa Reial was a pleasure. Great breakfast too. Would go back to this hotel for any future visits to Barcelona.

Not only is the staff all very nice, but they are very quick to respond to requests. The shower knob was hard to turn, but they fixed it right away. Also the shower splash was strong. The work is reliable and safe, including double-checking the work.

Would have been nice if the elevators worked
The elevator was broken, and we were on the 3rd floor (what Americans call the 4th floor). But good news! We can use the tiny staff elevator. Only it broke as well. My wife has a bad knee, so our experience was really terrible.

The picture of the queen room is deceiving. The picture has been taken from outside the room to show it bigger than it is. I had to pay extra $50 to get better room to fit all our bags. This is not a five star hotel as it’s specified.

A stylish hotel in a great area if it is your first time in Barcelona. Within walking distance to major attractions and public transit. Just be aware that it can get loud - we were there when Spain won the World Cup and could not sleep that night! The hotel did provide us with earplugs but they did not help much.
