Nouvel

Fantastic hotel at a great price. The art nouveau style to the hotel outside and inside is perfect. You can feel the history. Clean room with sliding doors to a small balcony. Some rooms have bigger balcony but all you need is just a little step to appriciate the view from the room. Higly recomended and the staff, houskeeping was exelent and welcoming.

Bra service. Fikk et rom med smal dobbelseng. Skulle hatt enkle senger. Vi fikk byttet rom uten problemer. Hyggelig personale. Kort vei til flybuss. Kan tenke oss å komme tilbake. Flott opphold.

Overall it was a pleasant enough stay but here are a few of my thoughts. To start with the positives, the location of this hotel is perfect, right in the Gothic quarter and very central to everything. It is just 5 minutes walk from the Placa de Catalunya which is the major drop off and pick up point for the AeroBus from the airport. The Hotel room was clean-ish but a fair bit of dust in corners and under the bed. The bathroom had a great shower and was very modern and clean. The first room we were given was not acceptable, the blanket on the bed had stains on it, the bed felt old and was squeaky when you sat on it. We complained and we were quickly given another room which was good otherwise we would have had to look for an alternative hotel. Now a few not so positive. This hotel has 3 stars yet there were no drink making facilities in the room. There is a coffee machine in the lobby but you had to pay for it! Personal point, the bed has a sheet and what looks like an old brown blanket on it, I prefer a duvet to a blanket. The room was extremely hot, to the point we slept with the window open in January so it was 6 degrees at night. We also found most staff to be friendly and welcoming, but a bare minimum and a little extra effort would have been nicer like we have experienced on past travels.

This was my first time in Barcelona and I stayed here because it is in the Gothic Quarter and really handy to get to everything. The room was small, but clean and comfortable, perfect for me. Some reviews mention the noise but i didn't notice any and i had the patio door open a bit all night too! If you're looking for spacious and modern, then dont go here. If, however, you're looking for a small hotel with friendly, super helpful staff and that's full of character and in a great location too then book here! Wouldn't hesitate to come here when I return!

Fabulous hotel standing still in time
