Hotel Bagués, a Small Luxury Hotel of the World

The hotel is located right at the beginning of La Rambla Street and is conveniently close to the bus station for the aerobus, as well as many other tour companies' starting points. I really appreciate the hotel's quirky design and its proximity to many tourist attractions. Although I had heard many warnings about pickpockets and robberies in the area before my trip, I found that it wasn't as bad as I had feared. It's just important to stay alert and aware of your surroundings.

The staff were very kind and helpful!! They took our luggage up for us, had our room ready a little early, and even provided a map and highlighted places for us to go and see. They showed us to our room and showed us how everything worked, etc. The items in the fridge were free as well as some snacks which was VERY nice! They also helped us get a taxi when we were leaving. The room was very nice, comfortable and clean, and the wifi worked great. Loved having open windows and little balconies. Overall it was a wonderful experience and we would stay there again!

Very friendly and attentive staff who went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Superb location within walking distance of most major sights. Very clean comfortable rooms and public areas. Fantastic breakfast.

Hotel was beautiful, really enjoyed the stay. Staff were great and room was always spotless.

We booked two rooms and stayed 6 nights and the staff and the entire team was fantastic. Very helpful and considerate. The rooms are well decorated and "typical" European sized rooms, which for some will be small. Although the rooftop bar is closed (like most hotels during late fall/winter), it's still open to bring your own bottle of wine and overlook the city during sunset. Only a small corner of the rooftop bar faces west, but you still get a fantastic view of the City. I read some of the reviews in regards to the noise, but the windows are double paned, and the entries are double doored. We had no issues, even with a bachelor party sharing the hotel or the busy street of La Rambla below. I love the location and have visited Barcelona a few times, staying in a 5-star hotel each occasion by the Harbor, Shopping District, and the heart of the Gothic Quarter. I'd probably pick Hotel Bagues over the other three due to the location as it's the center of it all. The Gothic Quarter is right there with it's shops, cafes, and bars. You can find a $15 bracelet, to a 15K original signed Miro lithograph. I love being by La Boqueria, my favorite food destination in the City, aside from a couple of Michelin restaurants. However, there are three very good Michelin restaurants around the corner. It's also convenient getting a taxi whenever you please. The hotel also arranged private transfer to Andorra---which was also fantastic service.
