I had a wonderful experience, even if I only spent two days here, I can say that The staff was great and helpful as well as the sisters of the congregation who ran the place. I really recommend the accommodation for its particular care of cleanness, for its warm chapel, that offers the chance of praying during all daylong, and also for its unique position just in the city centre of Barcelona. Thank you sisters.

I loved staying at Reina de la Pau. Very friendly staff and perfect location in the middle of the old city. I loved the roof terrace and the cosy breakfast room. A small minus for the shelf above the bed which made it feel a bit narrow. Also the breakfast was nice, but I would have loved some more gluten free bread alternatives! I would love to come back and stay there again.

Breakfast was good and also place to meet other travellers staying in the residence. I will definitely come back and stay here again. Thank you to all the staff who make a perfect stay in Barcelona.
