Top Hotels Near Placa del Rei in Barcelona from AU$181

"I was fortunate enough to stay at this absolutely beautiful hotel in a lovely historic district for my 50th birthday for nearly 3 weeks. The entire staff from the front desk, the cleaning crew(s) to the absolutely lovely individuals who run the Circle bar and restaurant couldn't have been more pleasant or accommodating. Although I was happy enough just to speak with them in Spanish they would always gladly respond in English if there was something I didn't quite understand. Every time I travel anywhere I try not to speak my native tongue intentionally and they were always pleasant enough to correct my pronunciation and even teach me new words. There is a fabulous espresso machine by the front desk where you can get high as a kite on caffeine first thing in the morning before beginning extravagant walks through the mind blowing historicity of the city that is Barcelona. The Gotić quarter can be quite loud sometimes in the evenings and even very early mornings but I'm from New Orleans so it felt like home. The rooms are quite quiet in general and I could never hear my neighboring hotel guests. Merely only hearing the shouting once in a while from wiley Southern Spaniards and Italian tourists. To me everything in the city seemed walking distance but there are subway stations everywhere that can take you anywhere you'd like in minutes. There are taxis and Ubers that are convenient as well but I didn't use them. I cannot recommend the establishment enough! 20 out of 10! "

"The staff was kind and welcoming. Excellent position in the city centre and close to the tube. The room we got was too noisy because facing a main pedestrian road. We asked to change and we got another room. The air conditioning was not working yet so the room was a bit hot. "

"Spotless room. Helpful staff, and good location "

"Disgusting smell on 5th floor. Broken sewage pipes."

"Good all round city hot."

"Location is spectacular. Hotel staff in lobby very accommodating. "

"Staff"

"We had a fantastic stay! The location is truly unbeatable, and the staff elevated the entire experience. Every team member we interacted with was genuinely warm, welcoming, and eager to help. We always felt well taken care of. The hotel’s location could not have been better. We initially had a small challenge finding it (user error on our part!), but once we arrived, we realized how perfectly situated it was. Everything we wanted to see and do was within easy walking distance, and most major attractions were just 30–40 minutes away on foot. It made exploring the city effortless and enjoyable. Our room was impressively spacious and thoughtfully designed, with modern amenities that made it a comfortable retreat after long days of sightseeing. The neighborhood comes alive at night (FYI) since many visitors (and probably locals as well) are night owls, but it never bothered us. Simply closing the balcony doors created a calm, quiet space for restful sleep. Overall, the combination of an outstanding location and exceptional staff made this a memorable stay. We would gladly return and highly recommend it to others."

"This is an outstanding hotel in a perfect location for everything you would like to do in Barcelona. The staff were all very welcoming and helpful. The hotel was clean and the breakfast buffet was exceptional. Would definitely recommend this hotel as one of the best."
