“Perfectly Pleasant”
Very good value hotel, with clean rooms and everything necessary for a nice trip. Especially if you're keeping to a budget and don't need utter luxury, this is a great choice. We didn't eat breakfast, so can't
comment. Location is great, it will take roughly 45 mins to walk into the Barri Gotic, but I think public transport is good (we choose to walk it). The tourist bus stops right outside and you can hop on the route to see the main sites. The area is full of upmarket shops and nice restaurants. We didn't actually eat out in the old town, but many restaurants there looked like real tourist traps, whereas the area round the hotel is less touristy. The little taberna opposite was especially friendly despite our lack of any real Spanish and their lack of English we really enjoyed a few pre-dinner drinks there. A good choice for a nice stay in Barcelona. -

“Faultless ....a gem of a hotel!”:
I cannot fault this hotel. The staff were efficient & attentive ...real professionals. No request was too much trouble. The room was spotlessly clean with all mod cons & a good shower. The breakfast was, to use a Michael Winner phrase ...'historic'. The location superb ...2min walk from Hyde Park. Jump on a Boris-bike and you're a pleasant bike ride away from the V&A, the Natural History Museum, the Albert Hall, Knightsbridge shops, Buckingham Palace etc. Paddington & Victoria mainline stations are both convenient. This gem of a hotel has gone straight into my address book ...if I need to stay overnight in London or take a short break, this hotel will be hearing from me. -

“Lovely boutique hotel in wonderful location”:
We just returned from Barcelona where we stayed at the Claris for 6 nights. The staff were friendly and helpful without being overly effusive. We looked at several rooms before choosing a junior suite that was very quiet as the window was not over the street. The bed was super comfortable. At first I thought it would be too hard but it was great. The hotel location enabled us to walk everywhere from the Eixample to Barcolonetta to Barri Gotic to Parc Guell etc. The only time we took a taxi was when we went to Montguiic. The only problem with the hotel was that you can hear flushing toilets and showers (both sounded like rain so not bad) but no noise from neighbors. Rooms are nicely decorated, stylish, and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again. -

Perfect!
We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Villa Real and look forward to staying there again. I have stayed several times before and never been disappointed. The rooms are large, comfortable and quiet. Dinner in the restaurant (upstairs from the bar) was excellent.
