The hotel is a wonderful blend of modern conveniences and historic charm, offering beautiful rooms in a great location. However, the tiny balcony made it a bit challenging for two people to sit comfortably together. The service was excellent, with helpful and welcoming staff, though the location was not as quiet as expected. The dining experience was adequate but with a limited choice of items. Overall, a great choice for those looking for a mix of historic feel and modern comforts.

I absolutely loved my stay at Circa 1905! The rooms were cool, calm, and quiet, with a large comfy bed - I had the best night's sleep. The powerful shower was amazing, and even as a shower person, I found myself enjoying a bath every evening. The triple glazing system and shutters made my room extremely quiet, which was a fantastic bonus.

Staying at this hotel was a real treat! The rooms are lovely, with balconies and a cozy terrace that overlooks a charming garden-themed restaurant. The environment is quiet, giving you a peaceful retreat from the street noise. The only downside is that the bathroom is a bit smaller compared to some rooms. The service was exceptional, with darling and extremely helpful staff who truly enhanced my stay. The location is ideal for sightseeing, being near iconic attractions but still offering a quiet oasis. The dining experience, though surrounded by greenery, could have offered more vegetarian options. Overall, a delightful stay with excellent service and a great location.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were cool, comfortable, and spotlessly clean, with a pretty mosaic-tiled floor. The terrace was a lovely touch where I spent my mornings soaking up the sun. The location was perfect, with easy access to all the key attractions and plenty of dining options nearby. The service was fantastic, with friendly and helpful staff at every turn. The dining experience was good, offering a nice selection of breakfast items. The only downside was the lack of basics in the room like a larger desk space.

The old world B&B offers fair-sized rooms with excellent large mattresses and a small French balcony, perfect for sitting outside away from street noise. The beds are comfortable, making for a cozy stay. The service provided, such as putting an extra bed in our room for free and offering helpful assistance, was truly appreciated. However, the pricing may sometimes exceed what is initially posted. The location in a lively leafy district just off the prestigious Passeig de Gracia is ideal for sightseeing with convenient access to major tourist sites. The surroundings are blissfully quiet despite being close to attractions. The dining experience, taken in a cleverly transformed lounge or in-room, offers classic dishes presented beautifully on a silver tray. The facilities are well-kept and contribute to a pleasant stay overall.

The hotel's location in a lively leafy district near Passeig de Gracia is perfect for exploring the city's attractions. Despite being close to major sites, the area maintains a peaceful ambiance. However, it might be a bit of a walk to the city center especially in winter, yet the nearby metro and affordable taxi services offer convenient options for getting around.
