Stayed there with my teen daughter for 4 nights. Great location.. beautiful rooms... But, where were the wonderful, helpful, friendly staff that I read about?? I speak Spanish, so I don't think it was a language thing. When we arrived at the hotel, we were buzzed in and someone carried our bags up the flight of stairs, but the gentleman... more

Two nights here on 16th - 18th November out of Newcastle ... on recommendation from TripAdvisor reviews (of course...) Easy to find thanks to directions on this site Airport bus to Plaza de Catalunya €3.95 (you can pay on bus .. the ticket machine next to the stop at the airport Terminal 1 didn't take our banknotes, and there's no... more

My wife and I stayed at the Hostal L'Antic Espai in room 101. As noted a few times it’s a little hard to find but we had the address and with a little mixture of Spanish and English between us and the taxi driver we found it. Pros: Good price Clean rooms & bath Quiet enough even though we faced... more

I stayed at the L'Antic Espai for one night after flying from Newark. Very well located and they got my room ready for me by 1PM which I appreciated greatly. I can't remember the room number, but believe me when I tell you that while the room was lovely and the bed was an antique, it was about 5'6" long,... more

Ditto all the rave reviews about this charming, brilliantly located place run by the friendliest, most helpful bunch of hoteliers. My husband and I (professionals in our 50s) will definitely stay there the next time we're in Barcelona. A few words about room choice, from the back-of-the-door diagram in our room: We stayed in 107, a double-plus-bath with a parlor... more

We discovered this gem through Trip Advisor & everything about it was fantastic. Our stay of 9 days was great since the art nouveau buildings(which we loved so much) were so close. The location couldn't be better; the staff was very accommodating & pleasant; etc. We appreciated the owner who is passionate about collecting antiques for the rooms. He worked... more

A friend and I stayed for 3 wonderful nights. Abel and Sergio took fabulous care of us, including making a snack for my friend (who is recently pregnant) late one night when she was hungry and it was a bit late to get out for food. This is a wonderful renovation, and you can feel the love, care and effort... more

What a great place. You are right in the middle of all the action. Arrival is easy, just ring the buzzer and go up the stairs. You are essentially living in an apartment building so you see the residents going in and out. The place has an interesting decor but is quite comfortable and everyone is friendly. I stayed in... more

We stayed two nights and were impressed with the cleanliness of the room and friendliness of the staff. We asked for recommendations for Tapas and Catalan restaurants and to avoid tourist traps and were directed to excellent places. The food was the best of our three week Mediterranean vacation! Excellent location near Las Ramblas and Placa Catalunya, where you can... more
