"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

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
