This rooms in this hotel are lovely with a balcony and the location is centrally located in the Gothic Quarter. Placa Reial has many nice restaurants and bars. It's a great spot to people watch too. Be sure to go to the upper floor where there is a rooftop lounge with a great view and a small pool. Service was excellent - the staff is extremely helpful.

Staff was great but hotel shut down and kicked us out w/o warning. Woke up to an email from Marriott saying get out in less than 2 hours - never was told by staff at hotel Cute little hotel - hope somebody else buys it & re-opens it. Great location on Reial Plaza, the sounds of nightlife are masked when you close your patio door.

This was a fantastic stay in a great location. The staff was fantastic, and I appreciate that there were good for offerings there at the hotel.
Unfortunately the Marriott distrust occurred right after I had checked out, so its future is uncertain.

Very nice stay in a great Gothic Quarter location. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Our suite was beautiful, very clean, spacious. We had double person walk-in showers. We were lucky with terrific weather and could open up the doors to the balconies to see the square and feel the nice breeze. I recommend this hotel for a nice, comfortable stay. Our suite was #21.

We absolutely loved our stay at the DO Plaça Reial Sonder hotel! It was the perfect location for us- there was a little market and live music in the plaça each day (we were there on the weekend) and it was accessible to everywhere. We had room 11 which had a balcony that looked over the plaça, we liked the window open during the day, but as soon as you closed them it was much quieter. The bed was comfortable, the room spacious and the bathroom pristine. Also the staff was very friendly and helpful!

The place The benefits from its location at La Rambla. This brings a few advantages if you want to enjoy shopping or sightseeing. Other than that, you need to be patient here. Checking took.way to long. Wherever we stay in Marriots globally it takes 2 min, here it's rather 10 to 15 min. There is just one elevator which might be installed mid of the last century. At night and especially at the weekends is noicy till early morning. I'm missing here several things which are easy in other Marriott places. For me.this is for sure nit a 5 star place. Despite people are friendly and supportive.

Amazing plush hotel in the heart of all the action. But the staff were the best part of everything. So kind and accommodating and genuinely cared. I got a stomach bug when I was there and they went out of their way to accommodate and make sure I had everything I needed. Thank you!

Disappointed. Decided we would get some drinks and sit on the rooftop. 1 vodka with diet coke and 1 beer costs €25! Staff weren't very friendly. Much better places to sit and watch the world go by. Go elsewhere

The staff, the policies and the attitudes of these people are not up to standard. As you can see, we are well travelled people and this has put us off staying at a Marriott Bonvoy property ever again. Be warned

Great location in the heart of the Gothic Quarter. The staff is a standout—Victor is a total star: warm, helpful, and professional. Henry was also fantastic. Rooms are spacious, spotless, and comfortably cool, which was perfect for the Barcelona summer. Despite being in a noisy area, the room was somewhat quiet. That said, the hotel could benefit from better upkeep in public areas. The key fob to access the building after hours doesn’t work—you have to rely on someone being at the front desk to let you in. The public restroom downstairs also has a broken sink that hasn’t been addressed. F&B service needs work. While the team is friendly and helpful, the bar closes too early (11:30 PM), and you can’t order a glass of wine on the rooftop. That feels like a missed opportunity and probably comes down to poor management decisions, not the staff. Overall, a very good stay—I’d return. With some tweaks, this place could be excellent.
