Getting there
Somewhat walkable
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Where to start with this magnificent hotel. What an absolute haven, as you drive up the hill towards Dr Carullo Street, you know you are coming to something that is off the beaten track and in a classic safe neighbourhood. Every touchpoint is next level, the beautiful Receptionists who greet you with a smile after your 14 hour flight from Singapore and you turned up early. They simply make you go and have breakfast and then sit you by the pool with fluffy towels and water. Your laundry is done to the most gorgeous standard, even my mum doesn't iron my clothes that well. The towels in the room are so incredibly soft and thick, the toiletries are divine, the conditioner makes my wire wool hair so lovely. We stayed in a suite with a child, it was spacious and lovely French furniture. Now for the best bit, it has a fridge with complimentary soft drinks and black out external blinds. One night we slept from 330pm till 630am the next day. There are chill out areas throughout the hotel. The Food in the restaurant is Michelin Star Quality. The Ladies at Breakfast are so professional, lush coffee, high quality tea, food for all allergies catered for. The omelettes, the steak tartare, the salads at lunch and dinner. No words! Unbeatable Value for money and ahead of its time. We did not want to leave!

We have stayed a couple of times at this hotel. The hotel is located in it quiet leafy part of the city. About 25 minutes walking to the centre. Bus and taxi available at the end of the street. The hotel is amazing, the rooms are so well designed , finished and comfortable. The attention to detail down to the individual lighting is perfect. The quality of the toiletries , tea , coffee and a free mini bar for soft drinks and water is very thoughtful.
The rooms are spacious, and we have stayed in a junior suite and this time is suite which are huge. These rooms are ideal for families travelling with young children, that could easily be accommodated in a separate seating area at the rear of the room or on the daybed. There is on site secure parking as well
The customer service is excellent and I would like to personally thank Laura, Miguel for all their help and assistance. It is a must to eat in the restaurant, the food is of a excellent quality great variety and a choice of eating inside or in the terrace. Everything is reasonably priced for the quality of the food served. The desserts are delicious.
We will most definitely be staying there again on our next trip to Barcelona, this hotel make a perfect stay on the city

A nine year separation since my last visit, it does not seem that long and although there have been changes made, it appears not so. This quiet residential area lends itself to a peaceful almost therapeutic stay. The El Born area of Barcelona is a little under 5km away and only a €15 and 20 minute taxi away for those wanting the vibrancy and diverse Barca culture of innumerable bars and restaurants. Room 36 sited at the back of the hotel has a large balcony and overlooks a canopy of mature trees and bushes. Breakfast is served both inside or on the front terrace and was perfect in every way. With a labyrinth of secluded nooks and crannies as well as a mass of reading material, it is easy to become lodged for several hours whilst the day can pass you by. This perfect spot has it just right.

This is a good choice for Barcelona in local area away from tourists a short walk to subway get the balcony and breakfast well worth it. The hotel is a converted mansion the owner still lives on first floor..has homey feel to it..good front desk help alberto was standout..room is nice size balcony was nice..the breakfast was outstanding and Myrian was so helpful and friendly..the spread is beautiful and well worth the money..we felt the lunch/diner menu was limited food was good but one time is enough..there are small restaurants walking distance a real good Italian restaurant a few steps away is good. A barber shop down the street is excellent and a few small markets just a block away the subway is just down the hill you can buy the T casual pass zone 1 for 11 euro works on bus or subway and we used that a lot.

We stayed here for one evening at the end of a week long cruise. I had researched and was impressed by all the positive reviews. They did not disappoint. It does feel like you are being welcomed to the beautiful home of a family friend. Our room was large and comfortable, decorated immaculately. The garden with pool very enticing, and the shower was life altering! Location is quiet but very close to the train station that can take you downtown in 10 minutes and the airport was only 20 minutes. We also loved the restaurant attached for dinner and breakfast. So delicious! This will definitely be our go-to hotel the next time we are in Barcelona!

Not enough words can describe how amazing our stay at Hotel Primero Primera was...
Upon arrival, my partner and I were treated with kindness by Maria, who made sure that we felt welcome and comfortable. I remember first walking up to the hotel and being blown away by the elegance, yet welcoming simplicity of Hotel Primero Primera. The staff at Hotel Primero Primera are all so kind, caring, and outstanding!
It is quite possibly one of my favorite hotels in the world, not only because of its beauty, but the service, staff, amenities, and peace and quiet offered to us.
Our room was absolutely perfect and tastefully appointed. It was the right amount of space and had a great setup! We also appreciated the complimentary drinks that were in the fridge.
The grounds of Hotel Primero Primera are quite impressive, boasting a garden, small pool, and beautiful restaurant. It was a pleasure eating at the restaurant for breakfast every day we were there (I highly recommend doing the breakfast buffet).
Finally, Hotel Primero Primera is centrally located - we were able to walk to multiple spots in Barcelona (Park Güell, La Sagrada Familia), etc. in about 30 minutes or so. The metro was also close to the hotel which made it convenient. We also felt extremely safe walking to/from the hotel!
All in all, I dream of our next visit to Hotel Primero Primera - we will be staying there again and can't wait to come back!

Excellent boutique-style small hotel in quiet, safe suburb. Make sure to order taxis for downtown an hour ahead of time particularly on weekend evenings. Large rooms with modern furnishings. Wonderful breakfast kitchen and staff. The hotel is a 15-20 minute taxi ride (10-15 euros) from all of the major sites in BCN. If you do this twice a day, it will still cost you less than an equivalent place downtown.

I cannot recommend Hotel Primero Primera highly enough. This is the ideal hotel and restaurant for those who prefer a less touristy accommodation. Just a bit removed from the city center, Primero Primera is chic, modern, and quietly amazing. Located in a residential area, the boutique hotel has only 30 rooms, and they are beautifully appointed. Above all, both the front desk staff and the restaurant personnel are exceptional. The restaurant (Planta Baja) should be considered among the best in Barcelona. We loved it so much we ate there two nights in a row! Truly this his a hidden gem and when we return to Barcelona, we will stay no where else.

A really charming boutique hotel in a great location. Unfortunately, breakfast service in particular is very poor. If you are going to stay here I’d recommend you eat out unless you have a particularly high level of patience for bad service, especially if you are used to 5 star service. After the 4th day I was down to just ordering an espresso

We had a large one bedroom apartment on the second floor. The bathroom had a solid door, not a glass partition. The bathroom was very spacious and nice, with separate areas for the tub and the shower. Plenty of privacy. I don't recall the exact amount we pain per night but it was more than 300 euros, but not a lot more as I recall, and we thought it was a great value. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. I hope we get to go back again some day.
