“Elegant Old Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

We stayed here for a few days before our cruise. It is a lovely hotel, and the location is excellent too. The only thing I can fault is the beds. They were too firm for our family. We had two rooms, and each of the rooms had a nice sitting area with a fireplace. The breakfast was wonderful too, and we enjoyed meeting every evening in the comfortable hotel bar. If you don't mind a rather hard bed, this is a good choice for Barcelona.

“A true classic jewel.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

We spent two nights at this palace last month. What a luxurious hotel!!!
Very well located, just a few minutes walk from Las Ramblas.
The staff were helpful and very friendly.
We were upgraded to a junior suite (honeymoon trip), elegant and spacious.
They even gave us a bottle of Champagne, excellent detail.

“El Palace Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

My husband and I are spending our last night at this beautiful hotel tonight and want to complement the entire staff and premises. Celine, the manager, sought us out to introduce herself to us, and has been extremely courteous and friendly. We were upgraded to a junior suite, which is most comfortable. The recent renovations still give it the "old world charm" that we enjoy. We also visited several other hotels while here, and realize that this one is superior!
