First things first, the staff is outstanding, with a special emphasis on Bruno who was extremely helpful, kind and gave us all the tips we needed for a great trip. Obrigado Bruno!
The rooms are small, but cozy, the terrace is very beautiful and you have an overall feeling that you're in a friends house, not an hotel.
The location is also perfect, at a walking distance from several Barcelona highlights, near to the train station that goes to and from the airport, and surrounded by amazing restaurants and bars.
The theme, wine of course, is very well represented everywhere you go, from the welcome drink to the decor. The wine tasting is also very interesting.
I definitely recommend it.

My favourite place to stay in Barcelona. Good location ( one block from Plaça de Catalunya, bus stops and metro very close by, short walks to the touristic spots. Very gentle and friendly staff. Clean and comfortable rooms.

Great location and view, but kitchen is too small. I stayed in the studio and I thought I would a full size kitchen, but only got two stop tops, a microwave with grill and literally one tiny pot to cook from. Also, the bed was way to soft and made my sleep a little bit uncomfortable. I was really debating to give it 3 stars because of that, but then went for 4 because cleaning, communication and style of the apartment have been impeccable.

Great hotel! Best spot in El born! The room wasn’t huge but we had a cute balcony :) everything was clean, the sangria in the bar is perfect and the staff is kind and welcoming. We had a night flight and wanted to have a late check out but the hotel was fully booked so they let us use the showers of their next door hotel. Thank you!

The staff were fantastic and very helpful. Breakfast was brilliant, highly recommend the potato omelette sandwich. Loved the terrace upstairs great view. The room was fantastic and the bed was so so so comfy. Well worth it. The bus stop is outside the door with loads of restaurant options. I'd go back again and recommend it to everyone.

A gorgeous boutique hotel with the most perfect cosmopolitan vibe
The Front Desk and Concierge staff were friendly and efficient. The interior decor exudes classy sophistication. The room is gorgeous; well appointed and very calming.
The rooftop lounge is a great amenity; featuring romantic vignettes of al fresco seating, set in front of a full bar. It is filled with high energy and music -- occasional live DJ (EDM) entertainment (check schedule) to provide a party zone. The bartenders/wait staff are very friendly and highly efficient.
The food is very tasty and creative. The beautiful outdoor kitchen adds a special ambiance. The service is exemplary at all levels; e.g., Front Desk, Concierge, Dining Room, Bar Lounge(s), Housekeeping, Room Service.

Amazing place - went to Spain with my wife and this hotel was fantastic. Pretty centrally located, right across the street from a supermarket. Internet speed here is really fast which is a huge plus for travelers. The rooms are really clean, and we got free breakfast (muffins, coffee) every morning in the lounge downstairs. It's a quiet hotel which is great.

Our favourite hotel in Barcelona- especially if you are fancy hipster coffee
Rooftop terrace is a great hidden gem for casual drink and snacks

My stay was great! Super stylish, quaint hotel with character, comfort, and friendly staff. Only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the food at the restaurant is not good. I gave it two chances and both were disappointing. Nevertheless, this hotel is surrounded by so many good food options to try.

Really nice hotel for good price close to the beach and basically everything. Unfortunately the whole building is above a metro so try to get a room as high as possible because you hear every train. Also room heading indoors is better since the traffic from the street is really loud. Super clean, professional service too!

You have to stay in this amazing hotel in Barcelona. We actually had another hotel reservation and i am so glad we changed it to this hotel. From the time you arrive, till you leave, you are treated like the best guest and you feel so much at home.
Location: perfect hidden gem in Barcelona. Located right on the shopping street and opposite Casa Batllo, this is literally the best place to stay. We walked everywhere, it is safe and you are close to everything. We actually slept in on 2 days because we loved staying in the hotel in the lounge, relaxing and catching up on work and reading.
Room : one of the best rooms we have stayed in. Big, spacious, with everything you want. Very clean too. Aesop products everywhere.
Breakfast : eggs made to order, good food too.
Ambience : i honestly felt like this was our home and we can relax and walk to get hot coffee/ hot tea at night and relax in the lounge. Super lovely lounge area and very clean.
Staff: Nacho and the rest of the team are wonderful and very kind. Suggested places to go, told us about Barcelona and we had a good chat.
Would not stay anywhere else when we go to Barcelona! A perfect 10!

Best Hotel I've ever been to - and I've seen others like Hyatt too. It's very beautiful and designed with love - not just expensive Luxury, that makes no sense. Top rooms, very stylish! The employees are very kind but not hypocritical like in other high class Hotels. I'll come here again when being in Barcelona, thx 4 everything!

Here we've had the perfect stay for our vacation. Very professional nice and friendly staff ready to help if needed. The room and all the facilities were cleaned and disinfected all the time. The location is superb with a lot of transport links around. We used premium room with a terrace, and it was very relaxing to use the heated outdoor bathtub on a 25 sq. m. terrace after a long and tiring day. Finally, I can say that for sure I will recommend the hotel to my friends and colleagues and will try to stay at it again on my next visit to Barcelona.

Visited Barcelona in January last year, stayed at Ohla for four nights. Overall, great experience, although it's a boutique hotel in the center of Barcelona, it still has a spacious and quiet room. I went during the winter, so the rooftop bar was closed, but i can imagine in the summer it will be a very popular place to spend the night.

I wouldn't recommend anywhere else to stay!
Me and my partner stayed here in a private room a week prior to the city going on lockdown. Not only did Casa Gracia respond so well to concerns about covid but it was genuinely one of the nicest venues I've stayed in. The room was incredibly well priced for our short stay in the heart of the city. You don't feel like you are staying in a hostel at all. It was a great atmosphere with a fantastic bar, friendly staff with tonnes of recommendations on where to go and great services. We made some incredible friends who stayed here too.

Decor was great and the hotel was well maintained. The individual who greeted us was one of the kindest people. He really made the whole experience very personal, which you will never get at a big chain hotel. The room was clean and well maintained and was pretty big. Overall, our stay was great! Not a touristy spot, but there were tons of places to eat nearby ... I wasn't trying to find the touristy spot for this last part of my trip - so that part was a plus for me.

Exceptionally friendly staff made our stay at this centrally located hotel a pleasure. When I called from the US inquiring about the best way to get from the airport to the hotel they offered to have a driver meet us at arrivals at a very reasonable cost. Nice room, nice pool, and surprisingly good food at the bar. What more can you ask for!
I do my best to keep this list very up to date. It was last edited in October 2024. If you know of a hipster hotel that should be on the list, let me know. Click here to contact me. Thanks!
