Clean and spacious (for Europe) room, very helpful staff. Two things stood out for me in particular: 1) excellent adjustable shower pressure - better than almost any hotel I've stayed at, and better even than what I have at home; 2) electric tea kettle in the room - I can't tell you how many times during my past travels I have had to call housekeeping to beg for a kettle, and half of the time they would refuse it (either the shortage of kettles or "fire safety reasons," which is ridiculous as electric kettles all have an automatic turn-off switch). At DO by Sonder, upon check in there was both the coffee machine and a separate electric kettle in the room, the latter being useful for tea or instant coffee (which I prefer to machine brew). Placa Reial can get quite noisy (and I was there on the Halloween night, so the partying was going on all night long). But the balcony doors were fairly good at keeping the noise out. And if like me you are slow to roll out of bed in the morning, the prospect of several cafes waiting for you with warm croissants downstairs on the square is definitely motivating.

A lovely boutique hotel in a great location. Very friendly, helpful staff. The rooms were very comfortable and quiet with all the amenities that you required. To be able to look out of one’s bedroom window onto the Placa Reial was a pleasure. Great breakfast too. Would go back to this hotel for any future visits to Barcelona.

The hotel was in a great location. The staff was amazing. The room served it's purpose, but was very small for people traveling for 2 weeks with 4 suitcases.

Loved it. The staff were very helpful and kind.

The elevator was broken, and we were on the 3rd floor (what Americans call the 4th floor). But good news! We can use the tiny staff elevator. Only it broke as well. My wife has a bad knee, so our experience was really terrible.

The picture of the queen room is deceiving. The picture has been taken from outside the room to show it bigger than it is. I had to pay extra $50 to get better room to fit all our bags. This is not a five star hotel as it’s specified.

Lovedddd the high ceilings but please be aware they have a lot of entertainment in the square at all hours. It may not be ideal for a family with small children. Ideal for walking to all the spots and amazing customer service.

It’s a lovely, quaint hotel with very attentive and friendly staff. My only complaint was that they did not have decaf coffee pods.
