"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).

Avoid interior rooms—they're smaller and almost devoid of natural light.
Insight Guides "An amazingly stylish, fairly new hotel, making the most of the building’s modernista features but mixed with fresh, clean design."
DK Eyewitness "Original details, such as beautiful tiled floors and woodwork, have been preserved alongside modern amenities. Excellent central location."
