6 Day stay in beautiful Barcelona made very convenient by staying @ Residence Casa Con Estilo. Great location just 5 metro stops from the center of the city ( PL. Catalyuna). Safe neighborhood with some good restaurants. Hotel is 2 floors of a early 20th Century building. Beautiful views of the neighborhood, elegant dinning room for sitting and breakfast, computer area, quiet. Spanish speaking staff on premises. Only drawback, narrow old elevator was out of service a few days and six flights of stairs can be difficult, especially with suitcases or packages. Would stay again.

A pleasant place with a lovely atmosphere and well locatedclose to a metro station, 10 minutes out from Plaza Catalunya. The roof terrace is fantastic on a sunny day and the breakfast was delightful (lots of fruit and a freshly baked cake very day). It would, however, have been nice if there was a mirror in the room (I was on a shopping holiday!)

This city is expensive and one can easily pay 80-90 euros for a dive. This hotel is in an elegant townhouse, as the pictures show. We loved the audrey room-- found it quite romantic and the bathroom very spacious by European standards. Everything was clean though the built-in armoire had a bit of "old house" smell-- just old wood-- not rot or mothballs or anything. The noise outside the window might bother some but we were on the 5th (?) floor or so, so we slept soundly. The neighborhood is not quite what I expected-- somewhere I read it was "posh" but that's not in the immediate vicinity of the hotel. However, it's a 1 minute walk to the metro stop and if you choose to go down to Las Ramblas on foot, it is only about 30-40 minutes (and an interesting walk if you like checking out normal-type shops). The breakfast room and patio are extremely elegant. The staff is kind and professional. I would come back to this hotel in a heartbeat. A great value-- very elegant public areas, though the bedrooms are chic and funky.

Beautiful "old Europe" apartment in the north section of Barcelona, conveniently located next to the metro stop. It was a bit tricky to locate at first. There's a small sign on the building and you must then take the antique elevator to the top floor. But once you know where it is, and have a set of keys, this place is a gem. It appears to have once been a family residence years ago, nicely furnished and beatiful detailing of inside. Our room was a bit small, but this being Barcelona, hanging out in your room would be a serious waste of time. I look forward to returning to Casa Con Estilo. Barcelona is an amazing city. Patrick
