"Public areas are similarly dramatic, like the neo-colonial hall, lounge and bar, and the sleek Xina noodle bar, while other facilities include both outdoor and indoor pools, and a glam spa."
Michelin Guide "A mix of the traditional and contemporary... guestrooms offering the very best amenities."
Frommer's "Located right beside the upper stretch of La Rambla in an emblematic 19th-century building... One of the city's most deluxe new hotels." Full review
Concierge "This high-end hotel's old-fashioned approach to hospitality is an antidote to the overdesigned swarm of boutiques that have colonized the city in recent years."
Insight Guides "A smart, comfortable hotel with a suitably colonial air in its decor and indulgences."
DK Eyewitness "A 19th-century tobacco factory houses this chic hotel, which has retained some original fittings and combined them with 21st-century amenities."
Star Service "This hotel combines today's chill-out vibe with yesterday's trendy townhouse style to create a rarefied refuge for well-to-do thirty- and fortysomethings." Full review
Fodor's "Overlooking La Rambla, this imposing mansion, once the headquarters of the Compañiá General de Tabacos de Filipinas, couldn't be better located." Full review

"Boutique-style pension that offers a dozen crisply furnished fabulous rooms on two floors of a mansion building."
Frommer's "A superior hostal largely patronized by a young and lively clientele, the traditional yet tastefully refurbished Goya is noted for its charming service and colorful moderniste decor." Full review
DK Eyewitness "A well-run hostal that has been accommodating visitors since 1952. The rooms are bright and modern with bold prints and some designer touches."
EuroCheapo Editor's Pick
"Oh, Hostal Goya, your original “Modernista” tiled floors, oodles of natural light and elegant attitude&;&." Full review

Many very quiet rooms look out onto an interior courtyard, but in our opinion the ones to request are those with French balconies or small terraces (which overlook either the street or courtyard).
Lonely Planet "The Goya is a modestly priced gem on the chichi side of L’Eixample." Full review
