Laietana Palace

Great location

good location for pre-cruise stay over. Also good because its was quiet enough to get some sleep.

Great location

Once again, the hotel was beautiful but a bit spartan. Lots of marble floors, baths, etc. We had to ask for additional towels and soap. Needs to make clear that a "Standard double" is twin beds, made up separately, moved next to each other. Great internet access in lobby. Perfect location in the Gothic Quarter. Siteseeing events close by.

European Tiny

The hotel was nice and quaint. Services was excellent. The room left much to be desired, however. It wss in what had been an attic, so the only windows were like skylites that were at an angle. The queen sized bed took up at least 75% of the room with little space for even walking or dressing. Closets, for a stay of more than the one night we had, were virtually non-existant and would pose a problem. Also, there was no draw space in the room.

Great location, comfortable hotel, nice staff

The Laietana Palace has a wonderful location, a short distance to Santa Maria del Mar in one direction and the Cathedral, Picasso Museum in the other, close to great places to eat, and close to the metro. Its also close to Barcelonetta and the waterfront, and the great Maritime Museum if you like to walk. Via Laietana is very noisy so ask for a room in the back--ours overlooked the Roman walls. The staff was very nice and helpful. The computer in the business center was very helpful for staying in touch with home. The room was small but the bed was comfy. Breakfast was not included in our rate, but there was a good coffee house just up the street. One warning--we walked very late one night up Via Laietana, down the Ramblas, and on Carrer Ferran at about 12:30 pm or 1 pm. Prostitutes were already working the Ramblas, but there was a lot of Guardia presence. However, we had to fend off pickpockets on Carrer Ferran. Better to stay away from Gothic quarter side streets at night. Via Laietana felt very safe, as did Via Argentina and the Passeig del Born.

Good value for the money

Hotel staff was very professional, yet friendly and helpful. Hotel is located on a main street, but it is not noisy and within walking distance of the Ramblas and the harbor. It also has a business center with Internet access which allows you to check e-mail and flight schedules. Good value!
