A lovely stay. We spent 4 days at the Palacette before a cruise & our stay was lovely. We stayed in room 122 & in spite of a previous post about this room we had no issues at all. Not once did we hear the bathroom flushing or toilet seat banging. We slept very well & it was very peaceful. The rain shower had very good pressure. The buffet was lovely & it was no big deal to bring your dirty dishes to a dish rack. I would stay again. The staff were very friendly & helpful.. .

Worth the visit. We stayed in one of the suites and the room was very clean and amazing, the view of la rambla and the hotel location was perfect. The whole hotel was very clean and they had a free buffet available 24/7 which included drinks and alcoholic. Definitely worth booking if you're planning a trip to Barcelona.. .

It grows on you . . .and your waistline!. The hotel has a palace feel that can come across as gaudy! There is not an elevator to the main level; however, if you're lucky, you'll come across a bellhop who will carry your luggage up the stairs for you. The key comes on a large stick. Not convenient to put in your travel purse, but you can leave it at the front desk and pick it up upon your return. Reception is open 24 hours; however, you may have to ring the bell and wait for someone to appear. I was given the wrong key once and not only annoying but it was labeled and gave me access to someone else's room. Of course, I didn't and not worried about anyone else doing the same. Something about this hotel just makes you feel safe. Most guests tend to be headed to a cruise and it feels like you're chatting with your grandparents. I had a comfort room and it was a box. The window opened up to a dungeon area. There were no hotel amenities and no water, though you could refill your own water bottle at the buffet. Or get a small glass. And the good thing about not having a keycard is the lights worked without it! With all that being said, I slept great! And that was all I needed. I spent my mornings and happy hours on the balcony in the dining room enjoying the all day buffet! The buffet was the same all day every day, but enough variety to mix it up. In the morning there are warm breakfast options. Beer and wine is included in the buffet -- all day, if you so choose! Although after breakfast the remaning food is cold, there is a microwave which I used to heat up meatballs. Delicious! There are also nuts and potato chips that compliment happy hour well. And for dessert, there is frozen yogurt and chocolate chunks. The location is great. Anoxita bodega is a block down Rambla and excellent. I also walked 10 minutes to Gaudi's houses. Casa Mila -- much better than Casa Batllo, by the way. There is a taxi stand right at the hotel so easy to get you anywhere else you want to go.. .

Beautiful hotel and a nice stay.. Beautiful common rooms. 24 hour complementary buffet available in the lobby (tapas-like food, not proper meals). The breakfast buffet was good though.. The location is far from most sights - taxi or metro required to see them. Our room virtually adjoined the lobby desk and breakfast seating area - upstairs would have been quieter and better..
