Lock in a great price for Circa 1905 – rated 9.5 by recent guests!

to get started.

Very nice, flexible staff; held our bags after check-out on the last day so we could do more touring. Gorgeous and HUGE room (also super tall ceilings) by any standard, since it had been a grand residence in the past. Room even had a large foyer! It was beautifully furnished & decorated, bathroom was okay, having a balcony was wonderful, with gigantic French doors opening onto it. Room was super clean, very quiet at night, and we LOVED the area where the hotel is located. Very upscale and close to great shopping and eating. Water and coffee were available in the main lounge area anytime, which was very nice. Fantastic breakfast!! We would definitely book here again, maybe when the weather is slightly cooler due to room being a bit warm.

We stayed in a balcony room. I loved everything about Circa 1905. Perfect location to walk to Casa Batllo and Casa Mila. Hop on hop off bus pickup close by. Breakfast was very good. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. They even made sandwiches for us one evening when we were to tired to go out.

Kim, United States of America

The whole place is just so beautiful and refined. Me and my daughter LOVE Circa, we return every year.

Alessandra, Italy

The staff were lovely and exceptionally accommodating. The building and rooms were stunning, tastefully decorated and very comfortable.

Kevin, United Kingdom

The staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful. We had a long wait to collect are bags at the airport and subsequently missed our dinner reservation. The staff at Circa were so obliging, they sorted us out with a lovely bottle of red wine on our terrace. They then recommend a restaurant who could deliver some food and brought it up to the room for us, once it was delivered, to also enjoy on the terrace.

Daniel, United Kingdom

Perfect location in a great neighborhood. Only a few meters away from La Pedrera and Passeig de Gracia. It's wonderful to walk around the area on a summer day - quiet and yet close to some shopping and cafes. Lovely old world atmosphere - you feel like you're in someone's apartment from a bygone time. Simple but good breakfast to start the day, which you can take to your room and enjoy on the balcony.

Sunmoonmama, Philippines

Fantastic location, beautiful room, loved the decoration and furniture. Clean and well equipped. Modern bathroom with powerful shower. Lovely little touches, such as L'Occitane products in the bathroom which smelled amazing. Delicious breakfast! Access to coffees, tea, cold bottled water and cake all day at your own convenience. Free wi-fi. Helpful staff. A perfect stay, couldn't have been any better. Thank you, we had a wonderful time.

Sophie, United Kingdom

The hotel was traditionally spanish. The breakfast was delicious with very fresh croissants, bread, fruit, cheeses, ham and lots more and there was tea, coffee and water available 24 hours. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Diane, United Kingdom

The facility is upscale and all are well arranged. I lost my wallet (all credit cards and cash) to a pickpocket in the Barcelona Metro -- this is the capital of pickpockets. The staff members were very helpful--they advanced some small cash against my deposit, and were very patient while I arranged a special payment of the balance with the cancelled credit card on the phone with my credit card company.

눉My only complaint is with the air conditioning... There is a manual stop on the thermostat preventing it from being set any lower than 22 deg C (71.6 deg F) -- this would normally be just fine, except the AC definitely was not cooling the room to that temperature! My daughter and I were uncomfortably warm in the room the entire time...

눉Noisy street outside my room. Hard to get to the place and a lot of security when you do get there. Guess that's good, actually. Cheap hair dryer in bathroom that kept cutting off, light next to bed not working. Missed some small details like that. For the money, I just don't know if it's worth it especially for what I spent in the offseason.
눇Location was good, though not as quiet as I was expecting. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was sufficient.

눉We were travelling with a small child and quite some luggage, and since the hotel is on the first floor of a residential building, we needed to get the bags up a small flight of stairs to reach the elevator.
눇Perfect location in a great neighborhood. Only a few meters away from La Pedrera and Passeig de Gracia. It's wonderful to walk around the area on a summer day - quiet and yet close to some shopping and cafes. Lovely old world atmosphere - you feel like you're in someone's apartment from a bygone time.
