Hotel Primero Primera

Everything is perfect about this hotel, incredible staff and services. Definitely will come back

We had a truly wonderful stay. Our family stayed for three nights, and it was such a comfortable and satisfying experience that we are sure to stay here again the next time we visit Barcelona. What we liked most were the interior design, the spacious rooms, the delicious breakfast, the garden, the tranquil neighborhood, and the warm hospitality. Another highlight for me was that the amenities were from Natura Bissé, one of my favorite brands. This hotel seems tailored for well-traveled, cultured guests with refined taste, and perhaps not ideal for those seeking something flashy. We noticed that we were the only Asian guests during our stay; while we never felt unwelcome, the overall impression was that this hotel appeals more to the European upper class. The property is not ostentatious but instead carefully curated with tasteful wallpapers, furniture, and décor—deserving to be called a small luxury hotel. While the breakfast spread was not extensive, the quality was excellent, and although the menu remained the same for all three mornings, we were still more than satisfied. Guests seemed to enjoy breakfast in a calm and relaxed atmosphere, without overfilling their plates. Tea options even included roasted Japanese hōjicha, and when ordering tea, it was charmingly served in a cast-iron teapot similar to nanbu-tekki. Lastly, the area is very safe, so even when we returned around 11 p.m. walked from a nearby restaurant, we never felt uneasy.

This hidden gem was just a short drive into the heart of the Barcelona City Center. They had unquestionably the best and most helpful front desk staff of any hotel in which I've ever stayed. They helped get tix we needed, arranged all our cab rides (including a 3:30 AM shuttle to the airport), and every restaurant recommendation they made was spot on. The room was very large and very comfortable. I would be hard pressed not to stay here again on any future trip to Barcelona.
