"Open-plan designer rooms have fantastic views through floor-to-ceiling windows, and facilities are first-rate."
Michelin Guide "This hotel designed by Ricardo Bofill is located in the city's port area. It comprises of two glass bui ldings: one a cube, the other a huge sail rising impressively above the Mediterranean."
Concierge "At 26 stories high, architect Ricardo Bofill's glass-clad, sail-shaped W Barcelona hotel is a real head-turner... The most beach-minded of all of Barcelona's hotels."
Fodor's "Features throughout the hotel, such as the infinity-edge WET pool, a Bliss spa, and the Whatever/Whenever Service, add to the lush trappings." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Popularly known as the Hotel Vela (the sail hotel) for its billowing form, this sumptuous five-star option enjoys unparalleled sea views."
Star Service "It raises eyebrows with its colorful, cutting-edge style and boisterous built-in social scene. This place makes quite a splash among well-heeled, young gallivanters." 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."

"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
