Let the adventures begin at DO Plaça Reial — steps from La Rambla on its namesake square. The rooftop terrace overlooks palm trees and iconic street lamps designed by Antonio Gaudí. Bar Tomate BCN serves delicious tapas and paella dishes downstairs on the patio. And breakfast is available every morning. The rooftop pool is a perfect spot to cool off on hot days. Or you can unwind with a session in the sauna. This is a central location and prone to noise. This property belongs to a collection of boutique hotels powered by Sonder.

We walked in for a rate and booked right away. The adorable plaza with quaint lobby was a warm welcome but Laura at the desk and David showing us up to the room was most memorable. We enjoyed a delicious cup of coffee in the lobby and fruit water while we waited for the room (we came early). We were asked if we preferred the first floor with balcony or higher up for views: we went with the balcony. The room had high ceilings, bath and shower with a large bed, floor to ceiling windows, accent lighting, towel warmer and great toiletries like hair brush and loofah. It was raining so we used their umbrella. The hotel basement has a beautiful restaurant and apparently a sauna and rooftop I wish we had time to use. I appreciated the turn down service with sweets so I had tea at night. One complimentary water bottle was really great to have when I awoke. Next day Laura helped us book a rental car, and David chatted with us on recommendations. The two of them make a great team and make the hotel a better place!
Really 5 star experience in the best location. Muy bien!!

We booked Sonder after visiting Barcelona many times and enjoying the square outside and when we found this hotel we knew it would be the best location for us. We booked for 3 nights in a Balcony room, the check in was simple, not much conversation from the staff, and as seen on reviews online a welcome drink was normally offered however we received no drink, just our keys.
The room itself is beautiful, however a little dark, huge comfy beds and clean towels. The bathroom was well stocked with thoughtful amenities, robes, slippers and big bottles of shower gel/shampoo/conditioner, but no moisturiser was in the rooms. As advertised we thought we would have complimentary water in the rooms and a mini bar but unfortunately no water and the fridge was empty. The room had no iron. The kettle was a nice touch with teas and coffees (no milk) and a small jar of sweets.
We asked about breakfast as we thought this was included but the reception staff said we didn’t have breakfast but never explained how much breakfast was or how to get breakfast other than I believe it was on the terrace.
We went up to the terrace and it was a lovely area, however no service was up there, it was basically closed, the pool area is very small with two sun beds and no towels for the beds. We did ask if we could have drinks on the terrace and we got them from downstairs and took them up ourselves, the staff kindly brought us some food up when we ordered lunch, which was delicious.
We did request a few items during our stay which were promptly brought to us, which was helpful.
To say this hotel is 5* in my opinion it is lacking many features, I have stayed in 4* hotels before which have exceeded expectations so when a few things were lacking it was a shame.
The location is brilliant, the design and details are lovely in the hotel but it does need to refine a few things in order for me to give a happy 5* rating on here.
The main things that were missing for me were only small things such as the welcome drink, more info on the hotel facilities, the lack of water in our rooms, no mini bar, no moisturiser, the Mirror was cracked and sharp in our bathroom, and the seal around the shower was mouldy. It would have been lovely to have our stay more personalised or asked questions as we were celebrating it would have been nice to have this recognised. For the price we paid we feel like we had a fair deal for location but all in all the hotel did lack a few things.

We were booked on a cruise beginning in Barcelona and wanted to spend a few extra days to tour this fascinating city. We discovered an absolute gem of a hotel called Sonder Placa Reial, just a minute from Rambla de Mar, the famous walking street and bordering on Placa Reial, a beautiful square with a fountain and a number of indoor-outdoor restaurants; all part of the Gothic Quarter. The location is ideal for seeing the sights but also just a 10 minute walk to the very lovely harbour, recently developed. The hotel is also recently renovated with very comfortable new rooms in a classic style and modern bathrooms with everything that you could desire. They served a very good breakfast and we found Pablo, the manager and desk clerk to be courteous, so helpful and kind and efficient. We would certainly return to this hotel and recommend it highly.

The Hotel Do is located in a beautiful spot within walking distance of many sights, the market, great food , the waterfront and a metro station for longer trips. The staff is very helpful and kind and the food is fantastic! The breakfast is very high quality and beautifully served. With fresh fruit or a sweet in your room at night and great water pressure in the shower, great linens, a comfy bed and bathrobe and superb pillows, this is a great place to stay in Barcelona!

This was the perfect location for seeing and doing everything I wanted to achieve in Barcelona. La Ramblas is outside the door, a plaza is out the window, metro stop is one block away, and the rooftop terrace allowed me to sit in the sun every day. The staff are super helpful and friendly making recommendations for local food and sites and just for making me feel welcome. The rooms are luxurious and the perfect spot to recover from long days of sight seeing or just for lounging. I definitely recommend this spot with charm, views, and modern amenities.

My wife writes: "Sonder DO, Plaça Reial. Augusto helped us immediately when we showed up early (9:00am) and feeling a bit lost after our long walk from a taxi near the Barcelona's cruise port. He helped us with our bags from La Rambla. The room was lovely with a large rain shower and comfortable bed. A rooftop terrace with a pool and delightful view of the Gothic quarter is found on the fourth floor. The location is perfect on Plaça Reial with restaurants and bars outside the hotel, palm trees with parakeets and early Gaudi lamp posts. La Boqueria market is within easy walking distance and the Metro is steps away. Evening was a delight as local families came to dine and enjoy the plaça. A team of acrobats suddenly appeared one evening and performed. Children played with aerial spinning lighted tops. The kind and efficient café staff brought us a delicious breakfast with eggs, fruit, yogurt, toast, croissant, fresh orange juice and cappuccino. The afternoon tapas were excellent. The afternoon, evening and morning staff took care of all our needs and arranged a 6am taxi for the airport. We will hold wonderful memories from our stay at Sonder DO Paçal Reial.

We booked this hotel for Sonar Festival as it was in a great location, but on day 1 the AC broke down and the reception told us that there was a misunderstanding with the engineers that fix the AC and that we would have to spend the night with no AC and to open the windows. To give you an idea, it was 34 degrees that night, no breeze and there was an event in the square below, so the noise was unbearable.
We managed to get the front desk to agree to cancel the booking and refund the money for the stay, so we could move to another hotel. We moved to the new hotel which was more expensive, but Sonder refused to pay for the difference in rate and even refused to pay for our taxi to the new property which we had to take at 12 at night.
Additionally they refused to give us a direct number to the General Manager and told us it will take 15 days to get our refund and that they could not speed the process. We’re 7 days in since our checkout date and when we called booking.com today they told us that they still haven’t heard from the hotel to confirm the refund and when we call or email the hotel to one picks up.
Please don’t stay here ever, avoid at all cost, there are much better hotels in Barcelona that offer a better value and service.

There is Phlash bus stop by the hotel. The Phlash bus is free if you have a Septa card. The location is convenient to go to tourist attraction, restaurant, grocery stores and Septa stops. The common area on the second floor is very nice. The kitchen is well equipped in the room. They even supply salt and pepper, olive oil. We can cook meals.

Where to begin? The hotel location was right on Las Ramblas, walking distance to the beach and smack ON the plaza which in the evening is a hub of music, people, and fantastic dining options Most amazing was the personal attention from the front desk/concierge team of Silvia and Laura. Their attention to detail and help with everything (suggested shopping, dining, shows, directions, etc.) made all the difference in our stay. The hotel photos are true to life and totally accurate. It's as good in real life as the photos appear. The only difference was that the basement dining room was closed at the time of our visit. So, if coming to Barcelona, don't waste time looking for a better priced hotel; this place was a total deal for anyone looking for VALUE for your money; impeccably clean, good sheets, bathrobes, great location, spacious rooms, refrigerator stocked with complementary water bottles and safe in our room, and a beautiful rooftop. Breakfast was also delicious, although a little on the pricey side. Regardless, we will definitely be back!
