    “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!”

  • Hotel and management have a lack of safety priorities for their quest.

    “The location was excellent but that came with the cost (as other guest have mentioned) of loud outside noise till 2-3 am.”

  • Great room, too much noise from the street

    “Loved our stay. We arrived and was welcomed by the team very helpful without baggage and couldn't do any more to receive us to the hotel. The room was brilliant with everything we needed and a lovely view out the balcony of the square. Would highly recommend this hotel and would love to stay again.”

    “Wir waren nicht das erste Mal in diesem Hotel. Die letzen Male hat alles gepasst, die Zimmer schön, die Lage top, Personal auch sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend und wir haben die Zeit dort genossen.”

  • Geweldig verblijf goed ontbijt en vriendelijk personeel maar wel duur voor wat je krijgt.

    “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”

    ChakerKhazaal · Friends getaway · 2025-07-10

    “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.”

    “Terrible service, terrible wait staff that had unprofessional attitudes and the service took forever. Waited over an hour to get burrata. We were told to order drinks and then could go to the rooftop and then they said no. Absolutely ridiculous.”
