About this stay

Palau Arrel sits on a car-free lane two minutes from the cathedral, yet the thick stone walls make it one of the quietest addresses in the old town. The building was a wool merchant’s house in the 1400s, and the restoration kept the Gothic arches, the courtyard well and the original timber ceilings.

Rooms are simple and generous: linen, oak floors, deep baths and shutters that open onto the lane or the courtyard. Breakfast is served under the vaults, with pastries from a bakery around the corner and coffee made to order.

Why we recommend it

It puts you inside the Gothic Quarter without the noise. Our guests love walking out of the door straight into the lanes our historians use on their tours.

Questions

About our stays

What time are hotel check-in and check-out?

Check-in is usually from 14:00 or 15:00 and check-out until 11:00 or 12:00. Each hotel page lists its exact times, and we can request early check-in or late checkout for you.

Can the hotel keep our luggage before check-in?

Yes. All the hotels we work with store luggage for free before check-in and after checkout, so you can start exploring the moment you arrive.

Is the city tourist tax included?

No. Barcelona charges a tourist tax per person per night, which you pay at the hotel. The amount depends on the hotel’s category, and we include an estimate in your quote.

Can we request connecting or family rooms?

Yes. Let us know your group when you send your request and we will reserve family rooms, connecting rooms or cots where the hotel offers them.

Can I cancel or change a hotel booking?

Most stays can be changed or cancelled free of charge up to 14 days before arrival. Some hotels have stricter terms in high season, and your planner will confirm the exact policy before you pay a deposit.
