We loved the location! In the heart of high-end shopping, Gaudi architecture, lots of small cafes, bakeries, as well as Michelin starred restaurants within easy walking distance. The Hotel is small, private with friendly staff, very accommodating. Comfortable room with a great shower/water pressure. We wouldn't look anywhere else for our next visit.

Great Location, Comfortable Stay, and Excellent Se

We stayed one night at Hotel Praktik Essens to take advantage of its excellent location, just a short walk from Passeig de Gràcia, Casa Batlló, and Casa Milà. The hotel is also conveniently close to El Corte Inglés, H&M, several restaurants, and a pharmacy. The service was excellent, with staff being professional and attentive. While we didn’t have time to explore any dining or room service options, the room itself was clean, comfortable, and maintained a pleasant temperature. Despite the central location, noise was minimal, allowing for a restful night. A minor issue required fresh sheets, and the staff was incredibly understanding, resolving everything quickly and efficiently. Overall, the price was reasonable for the quality and location. Would definitely consider staying again.

We really enjoyed the location, very central. Lots of shopping available nearby. The hotel amenities were great; a nice common lounge area where they have a coffee/espresso maker, filtered water dispenser, comfortable seating & an outdoor rooftop patio. They host a happy hour every evening, serving wine & snacks on the house. We had an unfortunate food poisoning experience from a nearby restaurant & the staff went above & beyond to help us. We needed a doctor to come to our room & they arranged it & then went to the pharmacy across the walkway from the hotel to fill a prescription for us. The room was lovely, very roomy & quiet. We were in room 105, next to the elevator, which was initially a concern, but there was no noise from it at all. I would make one suggestion; ask if the mattress has been replaced recently, ours was sagging a bit on both sides but not to the point that we couldn't sleep.
