Perfect location,

Loved the private pool, it needed a little tlc, but we asked for it to be cleaned and it was!! It probably should be covered when not in use and the pigeons use it as thier private toilet!

Only one minor complaint, and that was that I ordered a bottle of Prosecco as a surprise to the room on arrival… and we didn’t get it. The honeymoon moment was kind of mute after that… no point getting it as it was meant to be a surprise when we arrived.

Wonderful stay!

Excellent location, big rooms, well designed, and very helpful staff. Organised airport taxi and an early breakfast for us too. Had seen some reviews saying it was a bit noisy due to overlooking Plaça Reial, but we no issues at all, the windows had great soundproofing!

The staff and service of this location were amazing. Be sure to use the provided ear plugs.

Comfy bed, excellent staff customer service, updated TVs to stream on

Loud plaza below (men drunk fighting at 6AM or earlier- police involved)

Fabulous

Room was beautiful, good bed, clean room, good location. Very nice and helpful employees, they help you everything. We asks to have room longer to stay on last day, and they gave as discount (only if room is not booked and avaliable).

Breakfast was poor. only 4 options, no swedes table, and no barrier which divided area where guest eating, from other people how are passing by. Rooftop café could be renovated and make it elegant, swimming pool small, not good to use.

brilliant short getaway in the centre of Barcelona with great facilities and location.

the location, the rooftop terrace, the room was very private with pool, the atmosphere, brilliant staff, great breakfast

unfortunately too many pigeons on the roof made the private pool unpleasant as it was full of poo. I suppose that’s very difficult to avoid in the centre of a city.

Good but not great.

Location near the gothic quarter and the port. They arranged early check in which was appreciated. Upstairs terrace is a nice outside option. Air con.

Had to walk lots each day to see things. Probably better for us had we stayed near Placa Catalunya. Shower not clean and bathroom sinks with broken plugs. Reception person different everyday and we never heard back about a room question we asked one of them. We felt it was expensive for what it was. City tax or $6 a day each because the accomodation is '5 star' although I'm not sure I agree. In my experience this would be more 3.5/4 star experience. Noisy outside at night. With little way to reduce.

Perfect location, staff great as is the food. Due to the location it was noisy at night

Location, staff and breakfast all amazing

The roof terrace needs some work on it. Pool wasn't working when we arrived and the decking and chairs need some tlc.

Good

- Well located, close to Rambla, easy to come from the airport. - Spacious suite and beautiful big bathroom with amenities, robes and slippers - Pretty rooftop, must be great in the summer - Nice staff at the reception - Got a little attention for my birthday

- Nothing except tap water in the mini bar fridge, a drinks and snacks selection would have been good - Finishings in the bathroom (tape to repair the mirror door, blue marks around the taps) - Didn't bother with the bar downstairs as the personnel was unfriendly - Breakfast, I thought it would be a buffet like in most hotels

A great location and great staff

Provided a vegan breakfast. Great tip from staff for a vegan taco place. Room impressive and roof terrace gorgeous

Noisy at night. Not the hotels fault but hard to sleep. Also, shower was a little slow to heat up. Again, not the hotels fault as an old building

Nice for a short break

The location was perfect right on the main square in Barcelona. The breakfast was delicious. The staff were accommodating.

The room was very small for a 5-star hotel and our balcony faced out to an alley. The room was small but sufficient for one night however if I was staying longer than this I would find it a bit pokey.

Great location, comfort, charm

The room and bathroom were very large - rare for Europe/ Bed very comfortable and bathroom glamourous. Hot water and good water pressure. Staff was so kind and helpful. Breakfast delicious. Location in the plaza was just gorgeous. Would stay here again if i return to Barcelona.

Great hotel in the heart of Gothic quarter

We had a great stay at Sonder Do Placa Reial. The location couldn't be beat, right on Las Ramblas and in the gothic quarter. The rooftop was nice but we only went up there once. It is set on a nice square that gives you other options for eating and drinking, but tons of places are within walking distance. I would recommend choosing the breakfast included option when booking the room, they had a nice selection and the food was great. We also loved the sauna that the hotel had!

Our room was on the smaller side so I would recommend upgrading and not choosing the basic room. I think it would have been worth it. Especially to have the view of the square and a nice balcony/window. We didn't have a window, just a frosted door that opened into an alley with trash so we never opened it.
