Gracia Apartment

From May 3 to May 6, we spent four lovely days here and would absolutely come back if we had the chance. Casa Mila and other sights are only a few minutes away on foot, and getting around is easy. The rooms were spotless and felt like home. The staff were wonderful, always ready to help and happy to suggest places to eat.

Gracia is such a great neighborhood, with good places to eat and fun little shops, and the hotel is very close to the metro. Our street-facing room was surprisingly quiet, with very good soundproofing. The rooms were clean and well equipped, and the staff were lovely, generous, and welcoming. I'd definitely stay here again.

Christina deserves a special mention. She was so helpful, and nothing seemed like too much trouble. Thanks to her and the rest of the friendly staff for making our stay so lovely. The hotel was spotless and tastefully decorated, with a little garden out back where we enjoyed morning coffee and later a beer. Our room had a large, comfortable bed, and the bathroom's drench shower felt luxurious.

We had to scramble for somewhere to stay at the last minute, and ended up paying much more. The hotel suggested a few alternatives, but they were all fully booked. If they'd let us know earlier, the impact wouldn't have been so bad. We booked the Garden Garcia Hotel two months before our holiday and reconfirmed about two weeks before flying. Then, just a week before departure, we got an email saying the hotel was closed for renovations and our reservation had been cancelled. Did they really decide on a major renovation so urgently that they could only tell guests a week before closing? For management in hospitality, this was a total failure in every respect.
