Booked our stay after reviews on trip advisor and was not disappointed ! The hotel is in a great location, with lots of restuarants and cafes in very close proximity. Felt very safe wandering the streets at nite,Los Ramblas a 5 min. stroll away. The hotel is very quaint, filled with olde worlde charm,lots of antique style fittings and furnishings,... more

We searched extensively and finally settled on Hostal L'Antic Espai for our trip to Barcelona, and were quite happy there. The location is convenient to the center of the city, and we could walk up the street to Gaudi's Casa Batilo and Casa Mila within minutes. Hotel is a floor in an apartment building and is furnished very traditionally, which... more

We stayed at the L'Antic Espai before we left on a cruise from Barcelona. We stayed in room 107...with access to the terrace. Booking was very easy...we reserved the room through the hotel's website. Location...great! We walked most places, except to Camp Nou...we used the metro...Passaig Gracia stop is a block or so away. The hotel managers gave us a... more

'Tourists' want to take their environment with them like a snail in its shell; 'Travellers' relish the local, the unique, the colorful. Fortunately, my wife, our friend and I are Travellers, or we might have missed this absolutely fantastic over-the top gem of a place. Sergio and Abel obviously love L'Antic Espai: it's obvious, from the eclectic and eccentric decor... more

Close to three metro stations, lots of restaurants etc. It was a treat to live in an apartment building instead of an ordinary hotel. We really liked the tiled floors – they gave the hotel... more

The attention and advice of the owners was outstanding. The hotel is very affordable and has a computer that can be used free of charge,items that are very difficult to find... more

I've just returned from a short break with my wife at Hostal L'Antic Espai, which I booked direct after viewing the reviews on this site. I have to say I was disappointed. So, starting at the top, the good stuff: - good location - well equipped room (hairdryer, TV (terrestrial only though) bathrobes etc - aircon - a nice enclosed... more

This hotel is by no means a top hotel in Barcelona. It is about half the price of other top hotels, and that is about correct for what you get. Rooms on the busy street are noisy. The reviews are simply too high for what we experienced there. more
