Catalonia Port

"Nothing to criticize here, this hotel strives to do their best and delivers with a solid experience. The location is the most important thing, such a great spot on the edge of the Gothic quarter, easy to get to and away from, taxis can pull up here whereas there's lots of places in the gothic quarter they really cannot. Close to metro, close to boulevards to the beach. Nice e-bikes available to rent in hotel. Beautiful basilica steps away that offers evening concerts several times a week. Grocery store and fruit store a few paces down the street. Plenty of take away options steps away including traditional sandwich/pastry offerings as well as a very good empenanda shop and even a great burrito shop. Staff was very accommodating to our family on a bunch of different request, so we are grateful for that. The hotel itself is solid, perhaps not exceptional in any way but also very good across the board and had a nice boutique feel/vibe. The welcome cava at their tiny bar was a nice touch. I understand there was a renovation recently and maybe some rooms are not yet renovated (can't confirm this) but we had two rooms and each were renovated and clean and bright with good soundproofing, good water pressure, nice bathrooms, all if a bit cozy. Note that some of the rooms overlook the plunge pool which is also part of the interior square of an apartment block. It can get noisy in this interior court area (playground, music, etc), but we were amazed at how the soundproof windows completely shut out the noise and yet we could open up for fresh air when we wanted to. We did not try the breakfast as there are so many other options close by. All in all if we come back to Barcelona I would 100% stay here again."

"Excellent hotel, with good breakfast and very efficient friendly staff. Nice pool and room was refurbished to a high standard. Great for a post cruise rest."

"4 stars, so OK, except: the receptionist only speaks Catalan and English, even though their computer has a translator... lack of understanding! No bellhop to take your suitcase, lead you to your room, and show it to you! Upon handing over the key card, the direction of the elevator is indicated to you, nothing more!"
