"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

Fodor's "Acclaimed as one of Barcelona's best hotels, the Claris is a mélange of design and tradition, as is evident from the building itself." Full review

Located one block from the bustling Passeig de Gràcia, the late-night traffic can be noisy; book a room on the fifth or sixth floor for a quieter stay.
DK Eyewitness "Inside is a small museum of pre-Colombian art, some of which also decorates the suites. Guests get free admission to the Museu Egipci, run by the hotel owner."
Lonely Planet "Inside the fine 19th-century Palacio Verdura lurks one of the city's best-known designer digs."
Afar Magazine "Owned by notable art collector and Egyptologist Jordi Clos, Hotel Claris occupies Palacio Vedruna, an 18th-century palace that was remodeled in 1992." Full review
Jetsetter "Lovingly restored neoclassical palace in the Eixample district with an outdoor pool, a swank rooftop restaurant and a buzzy cocktail bar." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"The Derby Hotels chain is ever increasing, but the Claris is the mothership — a huge, smart hotel with an old-school feel but modern trappings, including a rooftop pool." Full review
