Location in Eixample is super central. We chose the hotel for this without fully understanding how convenient the location is. Two blocks from the Passeig de Gracia (and less than 10 minutes by foot from Casa Battlo on the street there). About 20 minutes SE to the University and a little further to the Museum of Contemporary Arts. About 20 minutes to south to the Gothic Quarter. About 30 minutes to the NE to the Sagrada Familia. About 30 N/NW gets you to the Gracia neighbourhood. Don't be fooled by the European hotel star ratings. The ratings don't reflect the quality of the rooms or the staff; they are more a reflection of the number of amenities included within the hotel. In the case of Casa Llimona, the rooms were super well appointed, and interior decorations spare (think minimal) but warm (think wood and brass and tiles). Breakfast is complementary at a community table. Staff is super friendly and helpful but generally minimal as this is a boutique hotel in a historic building. The room and furnishings are what you'd expect from a 4/5 star hotel except this is a boutique hotel without the corridors of rooms after rooms. We don't need the full complement of 24/7 staff, business centre, meeting rooms, laundry service, etc. when we travel for leisure. We'd rather go out into the city and patronize the business that locals use: local restaurants, shops, post office, pharmacies, etc. We even used one of the automated laundromats so common in Barcelona (recommended by the staff).

This is something characteristic of old historic buildings in Europe (and elsewhere in the world). The traps in the vent stack for the plumbing system can run a little dry overnight so depending on how sensitive you nose is, you might detect a faint smell in the bathroom in the morning. This is easy to deal with by running water down the drain of the tub and shower before you go to bed. A good way to ensure the traps are well "sealed." We've been in old buildings in Europe and elsewhere in the world and find this easy hack usually works.

The staff was incredible! Everyone was so so friendly and would do everything they could to help out. Although it is a boutique hotel so less staff than a regular hotel, the kindness of the staff made up for any discomfort. The room was spacious and looked like the pictures online. Can’t rave enough about the staff though. So amazing.

Our room fridge was not working and I had to kill a few spiders the first day we arrived (at the window to the terrace). The fridge did not work the entire time, but because we had medications that needed to be refrigerated the staff put it in the office fridge and was very proactive in the case we needed to put anything in or take anything out. They were so so friendly!!

It’s a small eclectic property, nicely renovated in a heritage building in Eixemple district. Our room was large and bright, opening to a huge private terrace. The bathroom and shower were modern and excellent.

Signage needs improvement, outside and inside. Upon entry, we were faced with a series of stairs leading to a lift with no obvious reception or sign indicating where to go. As it turned out, reception was up the stairs to another level and the lift had to be opened and activated by staff. The included breakfast was not good. The hotel needs to improve this offering.

Design, quietness, lounge facilities with cookies and coffee, safety, Irene was helpful, proximity to all the main areas- walkable distance. Note- if you use their parking, which is right by the property, a garage, make sure you get a barcode to exit as otherwise you will not be able to access the elevator or garage door (that closes) and exit the garage. We got an extra blanket from Irene- thank you.

The sink and tub need to be scrubbed as mold started to accumulate in the corners. Overall the property is clean, sheets were clean, service great.

We had a great stay at this beautiful and tastefully decorated small hotel. We were a bit a sick at the end of our journey, but at least we had a nice room to rest in. The pictures don't do the place justice in my opinion. We stayed during january, and still sat at the huge terrace a lot, it must be even better during the summer. The "no breakfast" breakfast was also more than enough - toast, butter, jams, yoghurt, cereal, juice, pastries... what more do you need really. A lot of restaurants to choose from just around the corner, and a good location to visit all the different neighborhoods by walking or taking a metro (few blocks away).

We stayed in a large, gorgeous room in this charming hotel with an amazing outside terrace. The bed was so comfy and we had a beautiful seating area. The architecture and design of the hotel, lobby and breakfast area was amazing! The staff members were so friendly and Angela made us feel very welcome when we arrived. The location was excellent! We highly recommend this hotel!

Nothing. It was perfect.

The stay was perfect! Located in the centre of Barcelona, in a quiet street, it was perfect to visit and enjoy. The hotel is a completely renovated house with a modern style but respecting the refined details of the spaces. The staff is perfect, but a particular thanks goes to Irene, she has added that detail of attention and courtesy that will not make us hesitate to come back in the future.

If you stay in one of the rooms near the hall you can hear the chatter if there are guests talking in that area (during breakfast, for example). Nothing that can't be solved with earplugs.

We had a suite with a terrace, which was lovely for sitting outside with a coffee. The room was a very generous size, the bathroom modern and clean. Staff were super friendly and helpful. The location was perfect for us to explore Eixemple and Gracia.

Breakfast options were a little limited, but there is an excellent café just around the corner that serves brunches. The aircon panel has a very bright green light and is right next to the bed, so we had to switch it off to get to sleep. Parking in the underground car park right next to the hotel is very convenient, but expensive.

Great location off Passeig de Gracia. Walkable to most attractions, shopping and lots of food nearby. Rooms and the lobby have been renovated recently and it looks great. Was very spacious compared to some of the other hotels we’ve stayed at in Spain.

Being a smaller boutique hotel there aren’t many facilities like a gym etc. but it didn’t bother us as we were only here for a short while.

Room, bed, bathroom, shard areas - all is beatifully sculpted, great loevely modernist ambience.

Doors are too thin, there's is no noise isolation - most guests are quite disrespetful nowadays, and just ignore the fact that other people might want to sleep over in the morning, and just talk with very high voice in front of other guests' rooms like if there were in a bar. I let the manager know about this, asking to send a kind note to the neighboring guest, nothing happens, unfortunately.
