Information was not clear regarding that it wasn’t really a hotel and instead it was a hostel. Also not clear that toilet was outside of the room. I didn’t stay and had to book a different hotel late that night. I’ve tried to get back my money because of this and no one at Expedia is able to help me with this. I’m tired of not having solutions with Expedia when a problem occurs. It’s really disappointing and will share my experience with all my networks and won’t be using your app anymore if I don’t get a solution shortly.

Petit Hotel is a wonderful place and we were treated with all the comforts of home. Rosa is a perfect hostess and was instrumental in showing us the way around in Barcelona. I would stay there again in a heart beat. The elevator alone was worth the experience. Clean, comfy and quiet. Close to everything, restaurants and grocery store as well as all shopping. It’s oh so close and easy to all the attractions. They did our laundry too. An excellent place to call home away from home. Thank you all so much! Love; Barbara and Tammy

Extremely happy to have stayed here
We had a wonderful stay. Rosa was incredibly helpful, which meant we were able to see everything we wanted to see using public transport. Although the Petit is small, it's very homely, our room was just lovely & there was absolutely nothing more we could have wished for. I would recommend it to all my friends & family & when we come back to Barcelona, we would definitely be staying at the Petit again.

The Hotel Petit was in a great location. Only about 550 ft from the train and accessible to many merchants and restaurants. Rosa was amazing in giving detailed instructions for the train and what areas to visit. Louis was also helpful in providing a taxi on our departure. The facility was extremely clean and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay an enjoyable one.

The better path to Barcelona
If you come to Barcelona to spend your time in a hotel room (however unlikely) look elsewhere for your accommodation. The name itself hints - Petit. Rooms are small but comfortable, even slick. Beds, amenities, value for money - all will likely make you happy. Even more likely you will be surprised by knowledgeable, helpful and enthusiastic owners Rosa and Leo. They made our visit so much more enjoyable. I bet you won't find a better advice by googling in half a cases you try and it will take you much more time to fight Spanish/Catalun websites in the rest of cases. The place is in a beautiful building with a real butter! Petit occupies the second level. The location places you into strategically close proximity to many Barcelona's major hotspots. Happy holidays to you!

It was ok for a short stay, bed was uncomfortable and squeaky. Bathroom needs updating and shower was very slow. Noisy outside during the night. The owners were very nice ,friendly and extremely helpful
Dear Sir. Thanks so much for your stay with us. We are sorry that you didn't feel fine with us. Mainly because you were in one of the rooms that our guests like a lot because it's very cute. Why didn't you ask for change if you prefered another room? We would have tried to give you another of course! You don't have to "suffer" in a room that you consider in some way uncomfortable. It would have been so easy if you tell us all these details during your stay. Anyway, we hope to welcome you soon again. Happy summer!

Very nice people but not much of a hotel.
While I can't say I have any specific issue with the place, and I will say that the people running the hotel were extremely nice, the place is not much of a hotel!!! A motel or an Inn would be a better word to use.
Dear Judith, thanks for your opinion. And yes, you are right. We are not a hotel, but a small guesthouse, where the important thing is the direct contact with our guests, to have time for them, to talk about any theme that could be interesting to them, to recommend the best of our city. It's very important to read the description of the establishment before booking, so that you are sure to book a standard hotel if this is what you like. Anyway, thanks for your visit. Come back whenever you want.

It is not a hotel
It is not a hotel, it's a big apartment in a residential building with couple rooms. The only thing they provides are hand soap and towels which they claimed the hand soap is also shower gel and shampoo.... Walls are paper thin so you can hear everyone and there are some stains on the sheet.
Response from Rosa - Innkeeper on 8 Apr 2016
Dear guest. Thanks for your opinion, but please let me rememberyou that we dont’ provide a simple hand soap. It’s a professional hotel-gel for body, hair and hands. That’s right. Also please take note that according to the description at expedia.com we are not a hotel, but a pension, a little familiar guesthouse, with very good prices and a lot of services: Not only this gel and towels, but A/C, TV, minibar, breakfast and all our time to be with you and give you all kind of informations you want. We love it and it’s a pity that we could not meet personally, because you only stayed one night with us, arriving late and departing soon. We hope to have another chance to meet you in the future.

Disappointing room but friendly helpful staff
The staff were friendly and helpful giving lots of information on the city. The room was a little disappointing. It was a bit cramped for two people and the bathroom had some bits that needed fixing. The shower tray was very high and a little precarious to step out of. The hotel was inexpensive and the neighborhood was quiet. Overall our stay was fine.

super! Great location, safe area, helpful staff
We loved our stay at the Petit Hotel. The staff was so friendly and kind and very helpful in assisting us to get the most out of our stay in Barcelona. They provided great recommendations, suggestions and guidance for getting around the city and sites to see. Room and bathroom were very clean. Breakfast was simple and enough to get us started for the day. Just be aware the hotel is in a tall apartment building so you will need to use the buzzer to get in. We got in quite late at night so we did not see the buzzer at first because it was dark outside and we were looking for a large sign. Even though we arrived at eleven o'clock at night, the hotel's night porter was available to let us in and was very kind and friendly and provided us with maps and an explanation of the city and how to use the metros and buses. We felt very safe and comfortable at the hotel and would absolutely recommend staying there. It is located very close to some major streets in Barcelona (Diagonal and Muntaner) so it is easy to navigate around and get to the metro and bus stops just a short walk away. Many cafes and bakeries and restaurants are just a few minutes walk as well. Great experience!

Home from home
Rosa and Leo run a very friendly little hotel. Although the room was quite small and had a separate bathroom (for our use only) and the breakfast was basic, this was the friendliest, most helpful hotel we've stayed in for a very long time. It was very well managed and clean, and the position was ideal as it was quiet but also close to bus routes. We would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a basic, comfortable but inexpensive place to stay in Barcelona.

Very cozy stay :)
In general we had a very nice and pleasant stay. The place is very cozy, do not expect a big hotel. The owner is very friendly and gave us very good tips. There are rooms that have bathroom inside the room, and others are outside, which was not described in hotels.com. In our case, the bathroom was super big (two sinks). Place is very clean and safe, though noises of the neighbors can be heard easily. Easy access to bus and metro which makes it very easy to move around Barcelona.

NOT a hotel... It's a hostel
This is NOT a hotel... It's a hostel!! The room was so small and the bathroom sink was smaller than a mixing bowl!! There are no amenities whatsoever and they have no signage on the building (their name is only on one of the buzzers you push to be let in). We were awoken very early in the morning with barking, doors opening/shutting, etc. Such a disappointing experience!!

overpriced
$100.00 a night for a tiny room, sheets clean but ripped and/or patched.!! Dreadful. The reception area was stifling----no air movement. To read comfortably there was an impossibility given the heat and crying of the baby in the next room. (not the baby's fault but the layout of the hotel amplified the noise from any quarter. I have travelled all over Europe and Central America, always choosing small, family-run hotels. This was the worst.

Dear Madam. First of all, we hope that you arrived well back home. We tried to say goodbye but you went away without saying nothing. We have checked our prices during your stay and we kindly ask you to check your bill because it is impossible that you paid 100 USD, but 80 USD including taxes for a full-equipped nice decorated room, with TV, minibar and A/C (Carrier) in one of the wealthiest areas of the city. During your stay with us our house was fully booked and any other guest made a complaint about the sick little baby. We also want to clear that our sheets are not only clean but also changed for news all certain time, so it is impossible that you had patched sheets. The cleaning in our house is optimal, we have a special disinfectant to clean the air and all our house. Please check the ratings of many years of other guests regarding this matter. Your room and all common areas have air conditioning, so we don’t understand why you felt heat. We are really surprised with your comments and would have liked to know all your bad experiences during your stay and not after it. Perhaps we could have helped. We wish you the best.

Nice friendly hotel
My boyfriend and I spent a week here late September and loved it. The hotel is not quite in the heart of the city but is a short metro ride (5-10 min) away from placa catalunya. The area it is located in is pleasant and not noisy if like me you like a good nights sleep, but does have plenty of bars and restaurants. We were greeted by Luis who along with Rosa was very helpful and friendly throughout our stay, Informing us of various places of interest and what was on and where to get buses etc from. We had one of the rooms with a separate private bathroom which was no bother for us. Both were cleaned every day, changing the sheets half way through the week, unlike most hotels which only change them when you leave. The room had air conditioning and a fridge which was great due to the hot weather. Breakfast was in their own kitchen which we only used once as we ate out most of the time. As the name suggests it is petit, but this makes it more homely. I would definitely stay here again.

Petit Hotel was amazing. Rosa is the definition of excellence in customer service. The hotel was spotless and our room was just perfect for my husband and I. Rosa was even so kind as to help us print out our tickets for Basilica Sagrada Familia and for our flight departing Barcelona. She is very knowledge about the city and wants to ensure each guest gets the most out Barcelona and their stay at Petit Hotel. We will definitely stay at Petit Hotel when we visit Barcelona again.

Petit Hotel was a wonderful experience. Personable and helpful staff. Great little breakfast to get us started in the morning. Personal sightseeing advice for our time schedule. Clean, comfortable, air-conditioned room. Close enough to all the sights without being in the tourist fray all that time. Taxis are very cheap in Barcelona so you can walk downhill to most of the sights and take a taxi home to Petit Hotel.

Ola! Great location, nice hotel and great staff!
The walk-up one flight of stairs is well worth the climb to the Petit Hotel. You will be met by the best B&B staff in Barcelona who will go "above and beyond" to make your visit to Barcelona special. The hotel is very quiet, clean and welcoming. Our family room was about right sized for Euro standards with an ample bathroom. Breakfast was not included in the very reasonable price, however we took up on the Continental breakfast for under three Euros--well worth the price.

Quirky Little Place
What a lovely, quirky, cosy little place. A small establishment on the second floor of a quaint building, each room is unique. Doorman is a nice touch for security purposes. The staff is very helpful and can help you with whatever your needs. English is spoken and understood. Staff goes out of its way to assure your comfort and needs are met. Mini-fridge is convenient in each room. Location is near to most sites and also conveniently located to public transportation.

We stayed here for 2 nights. We arrived early but were able to leave our bags in the hotel. The owners Leo and Rosa made us feel welcome, such lovely people! They explained the metro system, how to get to places and helped with whatever queries we had. The room was clean and quiet, we had an exterior bathroom but it was for our use only. The hotel is situated in the posh part of Barcelona and it's a safe area. Many thanks for a great visit!

Lovely stay
Stayed over with friends. Really helpful and friendly host - she suggested good restaurants, events which we weren't aware off, among others. Rooms and the lobby/lounge area had a homey feeling to it. Location wise - not dead in the central (albeit quite close to it!) however it was really easy to get around (by foot, bus and fgc/metro). There were also a few good cafés in the area. Some noise from the bathroom but nothing disruptive. We enjoyed our stay.

A little home away from home
The staff couldn't have been more helpful in recommending dining venues and points of interest. We were given advice about being safe in the tourist areas and were able to purchase hop on hop off tickets right at the hotel which was very convenient. A light breakfast is available on request for a very reasonable price. The room we had was on the small side; but the bed was very comfortable. There was an elevator for getting luggage up to the floor the hotel was on and access controlled by an attendant or a locked gate for which you were given a key. Our stay at the Petit Hotel was quite pleasant!

Great hotel with helpful staff
Even though the hotel was hard to find due to poor signage, I was pleasantly surprised with how helpful the staff were. They were so accommodating and helped us find a great tapas bar in Garcia. The best part of the hotel was that the staff spoke very good English and were just so nice and helpful. Would recommend to anyone.
