"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!
