We had a Junior Suite at the Palace Hotel, which was very beautiful and spacious. The bathrooms were made of orange marble. The service was outstanding. Their brakfast buffet is unequaled in quality and variety, and the maitre d' is the best! Our entire family was very pleased with the stay. I should add that the location is also very... more

Great location just blocks away from Las Ramblas on the Gran Via de les Corts - a quick and direct taxi ride from the airport.. Old world style and class at this hotel, including great beds and linens in spacious rooms furnished with antiques. Soon to undergo renovation; one hopes the changes will be minimal. A great place to stay... more

I just checked in today....and couldn't waste any time to post this review with the hope of saving someone else from a HUGE mistake in staying here! The staff is NOT professional, and are only trying to buy time for the next two weeks before they shut down for TWO YEARS! No one greeted us, no one had a smile.... more

Grand old hotel but the staff was horrendously rude. Rooms are huge and the bathrooms lovely. The entrance to the room was charming. Whenever I have stayed at this caliber of hotel the staff know you and greet you but here they ignored us and were unecessarily rude. more

Stayed for 3 nights for my wife's birthday. Great Location for shopping, the port and sightseeing. All the staff were very helpful and polite and focused on making our stay enjoyable. Excellent breakfast buffet with lots of choice. Main disappointment is the decor of the rooms, which truly does need the refurbishment that is promised in November. Bathroom also needed... more

We've just come back after a few days at the Palace and loved it. Is some of the grandeur faded? Probably. They are about to start a refurbishment programme and my wife and I both hope that this doesn't detract from the magic of the place. Old fashioned room - but huge. Everything worked perfectly for us. The staff were... more

Coming back to our quiet room at the Palace after long days of sightseeing was a pleasure. The bed was very comfortable, and there were always plenty of big, thick towels in the bathroom, along with bathrobes. The staff was very helpful in booking tours and anything else we needed. English speaking staff members were always on duty. I will... more

I definitely would not stay in this hotel again. I think it probably was fabulous in its day - the rooms are large (we had adjoining ones), the lobby is lovely, and when it was a Ritz maybe it was great. But it is way past it's prime. The toilets wobbled, the elevators are slow, the smell of smoking was... more

Elegant, spacious rooms, however the smell of tobacco was unbearable. It takes forever to get a shower (almost impossible) since the water temperature cannot be fixed; it is either scalding or icy. There is an adjacent Ritz hotel ( on the side street) which looks brand new and classy, but not advertised anywhere. Definitely not staying here again. more
