Lovely staff, delightful decor, excellent continental breakfast with many choices, tea, coffee and water available 24/7 in guest kitchenette, guest lounge/reading room/breakfast room for relaxing with a book or enjoying quiet conversation. Occitane bath products. An iron and ironing board were appreciated after 3 weeks of living out of a suitcase. Within easy reach of excellent restaurants, shopping and sites of interest but away from the crowds of the more touristy areas of the city.

I stuggled getting my suitcase up the stairs from the entry foyer to the elevator but it is clearly not possible to alter the elevator installation. There were no towel rails in my bathroom, only hooks, making it difficult for towels to dry. The sliding wooden doors to my balcony could do with some adjustment/lubricating as they were very stiff and difficult to open.

Excellently located accommodation right in the city center, sights are within walking distance. Beautiful equipment of the hotel and rooms. Nice and helpful staff, great breakfast. Definitely recommend!

The location of the hotel is central to anything you want to do in Barcelona. The staff was friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Great breakfast too! Would book here again.

Teodora was fantastic! So professional, efficient, and pleasant. I will definitely stay there again. Highly recommend.

Circa 1905 is an oasis of calm and comfort. Teodora, the hostess, is so kind and caring. She could not possibly be more helpful or accommodating, encouraging us to contact her anytime for anything. The building is beautiful and the location can't be beat, with easy walking to most attractions and close access to the metro. The rooms are large and having a small balcony on the street was a bonus. There is excellent sound-proofing and room-darkening and the beds, bedding, and pillows are all extremely comfortable so we had some of the best sleeps of our trip. Having excellent coffee and water (including sparkling water!), as well as a fridge, available 24/7 was much appreciated. The breakfast is not extensive but has more than enough to fortify you for a day of sightseeing. There are many great restaurants close by and Teo gave fantastic recommendations (including some not in the area).

It would have been nice to have a microwave to warm milk for coffee or reheat leftovers. But this is not a major factor and we would definitely stay here again if in Barcelona.

Location is perfect, everything is close and accessible even by foot, some places by bus. Bed is comfy, architecture of hotel is pretty, old-time style, obviously kept as much as possible, as it was originally built. Breakfast is continental style, really sufficient and tasty, nothing really fancy. Staff super friendly and helpful. Some ratings say, that it is noisy outside. The only time it was noisy, when the garbage truck came in the morning. night was quiet. May be, it is winter, that's why ;)

Floor of the room is nice old style tile flooring, but to walk barefoot on it is little chilly. Of course, it is not a bad thing for everybody and in summer time it is not an issue at all, I am sure. nothing much to complain about.

General feeling of the property is great! It’s cozy, authentic, high ceilings, nice interior! Rooms are spacious, clean, beds are comfortable, new white sheets make you sleep perfect! You have everything you need in the room. Location is amazing, it’s close to the attractions, cafes, shops, it’s located on the calm street, which was highly important to recharge after active walking hours. Hosts are very friendly, willing to help, they make your stay even better! I was happy about accommodation and I definitely come back! Thank you!

The breakfast was excellent. And, while there was a charge (80 euros), it was really lovely to have an extra child-size bed for our toddler. We had a terrace room, which was excellent for the morning breakfast, it was a bit noisy well into the evening (advise bringing earplugs). The staff were wonderful and extremely accommodating to us. It made our stay feel extra comfortable. For those traveling with children - just an fyi - there is a shower, no bathtub. The room was very dark once the terrace door was closed (so a nightlight may be helpful). There was a secure parking garage about two blocks away (we paid 60 euros for two full days). The location was very walkable to all the major sites we visited, and just far enough away from the extremely busy shopping area. We did not use the subway, but there were several stops nearby. For physical accessibility, be aware there is a stairway to access the very small elevator (I do not believe it would fit a standard sized wheelchair).

It wouldn’t have changed our minds, I don’t think, but I do wish we would have known how much the additional bed charge would be from the onset. It wasn’t an insignificant cost.

A truly beautiful place to stay and in a fabulous location easy to walk to restaurants & metro. Half a block from La Rambla and 10-15min walk to Plaza Catalunya and the apartment is set well back and very quiet. The room was huge and we loved being able to open the door to our terrace. Breakfast was really very good. The bathroom is quite small but everything else makes up for that. The staff were so pleasant and helpful all the time and we would definitely stay here again.

Everything at Circa 1905 was perfect! The location was fabulous and easy walking distance to everything we wanted to do and see. Our host was exceptional - while waiting for our room to be ready, he took time to provide a brief history of the area (beautiful, charming, elegant, quiet) and the property. The small boutique hotel has marvelous painted floors and is outfitted with furnishings appropriate to the period. Our room was spacious and had a balcony open to the street (the street the hotel is located on is quiet but is within a block of the most elegant main street filled with high end brand stores and the Gaudi properties). After returning to our room on our first evening, we had a small bottle of champagne and chocolates waiting for us, which we enjoyed on our balcony. Breakfast was set up in the sitting area and was lovely. They had small room open all day and evening, and the guests could help themselves to water, coffee, or tea, and make use of a small refrigerator. Barcelona is a wonderful city. We made the most of our three days and would happily go back to Barcelona. If we do, we will definitely stay at Circa 1905!

Really nothing! The water from the shower is incredibly "soft," which made my hair glorious, but we always felt like we still had a bit of soap remaining on our skin (drove my OCD husband nuts, but didn't bother me at all). There is a short hall where the bathroom is located that has a step down to the room. As I tend to have to use the facilities in the middle of the night, we had to remind ourselves of the step up to use the bathroom. It never posed a problem for us, but someone with mobility concerns should be aware. We were in room 3.
