The Sonder DO Plaça Reial is located in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, which meant restaurants and bars were right outside the hotel. Augusto, our hotel manager, was courteous, friendly, and most professional. The server (whose name I didn't think to ask) was wonderfully pleasant and courteous. The hotel itself offered a great vibe, and we will make it a point to stay here the next time we're in Barcelona.

Michael United States of America

The location is the best part of the hotel. Located in the heart of the city. Friendly staff, offered a lot of advice regarding transportation and city attractions.

Noam Israel

The night staff is the best staff of any five-star hotel I have ever stayed in. Period. it’s just the best hotel in Barcelona. The best area in Barcelona. I’ve stayed here in two separate trips to BCN, and would have stayed again if it wasn’t booked up.

Genesismfer United States of America

Staff were very friendly & helpful especially Henré at reception. Our room was amazing overlooking Plaça Reial and breakfast was perfect each morning. There is also a nice terrace area on the rooftop. And a metro station a couple of 100 m away. Neighborhood is so cool for walking around, and Palau Güell is just across the food. Visit Boca Grande for a bite out for sure.

Charles Hungary

the room size was good comparing to other hotels, the staff are very nice. the location is perfect with everything around you

Noora Qatar

The staff were very friendly and helped a lot with suggestions and recommendations. Juan and Henry went the extra mile to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience in Barcelona. We also got a complimentary upgrade to a spacious suite with a balcony overlooking the square. The hotel location is very central with some of the main city attractions within walking distance. Highly recommended!

Abdulrahman Qatar

Naser Kuwait

This hotel’s location was perfect for us but that was only the beginning. The staff was amazing from the front desk to the housekeeping. Silvia was fantastic and very accommodating. We were close to everything and has plenty of restaurants to choose from if we didn’t want to wonder far. While on a busy square, you can’t hear the outside noise (and we would know).
