Primero Primera

This hidden gem of a boutique hotel does not disappoint. The staff were professional and warm, both at the front desk and in the dining room. Do not miss out on the delicious and bountiful breakfast spread - there were so many options for every preference. Our room was spacious, sparkling clean, and we loved the king sized bed, the lovely terrace overlooking the garden and the separate spaces in our room to spread out and relax. Our favorite unexpected feature had to be the rain shower! Thank you for making such an amazing stay away from the tourist energy, in the quaint residential neighborhood that was still walkable and easy to access by public transport.

cozy, comfortable, stylish hotel in a tranquil setting of Barcelona. I stayed 3 nights here while recovering from a knee injury. The back area garden and pool were highlights, once could easily pass most of the day at. The staff was very friendly. And the restaurant is a top attraction, even for locals in the area. All around great!

Everything was perfect. The room was large, well decorated, exceptionally clean and quiet. The hotel garden is a delightful refuge. Don't miss it. Every staff person was immediately helpful and gracious. The restaurant was also excellent, especially the breakfast. The location is in a quiet, safe residential neighborhood great for walking.

We have stayed at this charming boutique hotel two years in a row. The location is away from the hustle and bustle of downtown yet only a short cab ride away. The room are spacious and extremely comfortable, we chose the ones with a terrace. The swimming pool is small however the tranquil garden offers daybeds to relax in. The dining room is excellent! We’ll be back next year!

A gem and oasis away from the tourist madness of Barcelona. Gorgeous, well-appointed rooms (we had a terrace). The staff is friendly and supportive (they allowed us to drop off and store luggage for a few days before our arrival as we did a side trip). The restaurant food was excellent fine dining. We couldn't have asked for a better place.

I don’t typically write reviews but felt compelled to for this first class hotel. From the exceptional customer service, beautiful rooms and the delightful food - this hotel excels on every level. This should be the model for all hotels. Well done, Primero Primera.

We arrived to the hotel early and our room wasn’t ready, but they gladly took our luggage. While we were discussing with them the need for Sagrada Familia reservations (which they made for us), our room became available and they immediately transferred our luggage to our king terrace room. We arrived to our room very pleased with the large, elegant room and nice terrace. Overall, our stay was pleasant and the staff welcoming. However, I just cannot give 5 stars to this 5 star hotel. There were too many glitches. The first night we heard loud clanging of dishes from the restaurant (I wore earplugs the rest of the stay). The TV hadn’t been logged out of Netflix by the prior guest and all was in Arabic. It took my husband 2 nights and significant time to figure it out. We said something to the front desk, but it wasn’t resolved. One afternoon as we tried to enjoy our terrace, a gas weed trimmer in the garden destroyed the time both due to prolonged noise and the odor of gasoline. There is no room service menu in the room, just a QR code that didn’t work for either of our phones…until 10 minutes after scanning it, when we finally gave up and went downstairs to ask for a hard copy. All this said, the food we ordered was quite good. Adapters I use everywhere in Europe wouldn’t fit in their outlets. Thankfully I had a couple different ones that did work. All in all it was a great place, but there were simply too many small glitches to give it 5 stars.

Fabulous small hotel with quiet rooms to ensure a great nights sleep, outdoor garden pool area to relax and a great restaurant. I prefer this to the large inpersonal hotels.

The food is excellent. Everything was cooked to perfection. The service was also fantastic. The staff were so nice and helpful. I highly recommend this place and with that said, you might want to get a reservation.

Sorry for the late review!! I stayed here with my boyfriend back in October 2014, and this was quite an exceptional find! We booked the hotel through reviews on tripadvisor, and just like the other review wrote it really is a God send. The hotel is located outside of the touristy areas, closest train station is about a 5 minute walk away from the train station Les Tres Torres, which in turn is about a 10-15 minute train ride to Placa Catalunya. Everything about the hotel is perfect. The rooms were huge! The bathroom was amazing! Everything was spotless. The bed was so comfortable - we had a king size bed, and after a long flight from NY, and walking around all day in the sun, that bed was amazing! We did get to enjoy the complimentary breakfast, which was perfect! Fresh breads, hardboiled eggs, coffee, juices, etc. Great start to our days in Barcelona. The staff go out of their way to make sure you are happy with the hotel, from printing out passes for us and making recommendations to local restaurants. We were lucky enough to be there during some warm evenings, and we purchased a couple of bottles of wine, and sat outside in the patio area enjoying the perfect weather. Overall - highly highly recommend this hotel. Honestly stay here. Thank me later :)

Hotel Primero Primera is a godsend! Found the hotel through TripAdvisor; I wanted to stay out of the tourist throngs in Barcelona, where I have never been. It's about a 10 minute Metro ride or cab ride to Plaza Catalunya, more or less the dead center of town, but it's in a neighborhood that reminds me of the Upper East Side, except with smaller buildings. The hotel is new, a boutique hotel. We have a king room suite that is just beautiful and immaculate. The bathroom--my God, this is literally the nicest bathroom I have ever stayed in my entire life. There is a tub for soaking and a massive walk in shower with a showerhead the size of a small frisbee, so you get a hot blast of torrential rain. The room has a balcony that looks out over the cute little swimming pool. The lobby has a library with an honor bar and a room with 24-hour free coffee and ice water and a Mac with an Internet connection. The staff is wonderful--they gave us detailed instructions on taking the Metro (an easy 3-block walk) to our destinations, gave us restaurant recommendations, advice on when to go or avoid going to certain popular destinations, called us taxi cabs when we needed. A very nice breakfast is included in the room, with meats, fruit, cereal, granola, various fresh breads and jam, boiled eggs, coffee, tea and juice. I loved being able to escape the crowds and humid city heat and walk back into my quiet, ice-cold room. And the room was less than one of those big tourist hotels in the city where I would never receive the attention and enjoy the privacy I have here. I am so glad I found this place and urge you to consider it carefully if my philosophy of hotel selection seems to match yours. Thanks to everyone at Primero Primera for all your wonderful help! Oh and free Wi-Fi!

Un lugar excelente para residir. En primer lugar por el agradable trato que dispensan. En segundo por el buen gusto y calidad de las instalaciones. En tercero por su buen emplazamiento.
