B&B Boutique Ca la Maria

Lovely B&B. Great location; central but not too touristy. Avoid private courtyard suite (Lucieu) because it’s loud. It’s off the common area and over a restaurant. Late crowd came back at 3 am for nightcap and kitchen noise caused poor nights sleep.

An amazing and cozy place to stay with wonderful food, a great patio area, and a reading, and working room that made it easy to stay.

Room was clean and bed was comfortable. William at front desk was super helpful and flexible with us. We left our bags at his desk after check out since our flight was late at night and we could explore Barcelona without our heavy bags.

Wife and I spent 3 nights here after a 20-night cruise that ended in Barcelona. We took the metro from the cruise port to the Diagonal stop and walked the rest of the way to the BnB. Our room was in the "annex", above the Windsor restaurant, next to the main portion which has 5 rooms. We had a large bedroom that opened into a small additional area with views outside to the courtyard, but no balcony/veranda. The shower & bathtub were large & easy to use, and the bathroom was quite nice & clean. The BREAKFASTS were fantastic! We ate big breakfasts and then only had to do dinner. The staff quite friendly. We enjoyed our time talking with them (e.g., Vanessa who assisted us on days 1 and 3). And we enjoyed interacting with the other guests. We did arrive early on the Sunday, likely rushing the housekeeping a bit, as she forgot a sheet on our bed, but we found one in the hallway that night and put it on ourselves. We were so GLAD they let us get into our room before noon. So we could get out and explore Barcelona while knowing our room was there for us from the start. The building we were in had just 3 rooms. There is a coffee maker in the hallway. We did NOT hear noises from the other rooms. Or the street! The location is just simple blocks away from the Pedrera and the Mansion of Discord, both by Gaudi! We used the Hop On & Hop Off bus to do our non-walking exploring. But we walked all the way to the Cathedral and back multiple times along the great streets near the BnB, including Ramblas de Catalunya, Pg./Gran de Gracia, and Balmes. We ate once at the Bronzo across the street, enjoying a nice late afternoon meal in the sheltered area next to the quieter street Corsega around 4 pm. Enjoyed the food.

Could not have chosen a greater location for our stay in Barcelona! Ca La Maria is close to popular sites, restaurants, transportation, and is managed by a very friendly and super accommodating staff! Guillem, who was present during our stay, demonstrated such sincerity, friendliness, warmth and service the whole time we were there! A very nice, savory breakfast spread was set out every day which met everyone's needs. Tables were set in the welcoming, spacious terrace or indoors. Great setting for just chilling, as well. :) We booked 2 rooms: the suite was spacious and met all our expectations. The Caneletas room was barely adequate for a couple. Outside the B&B, we found a very reliable, plentiful, and honest taxi service.

Don't. Their website badly misrepresents this property. Our room was not even at their address- it was down the block in another building. Room was not clean, polyester sheets, foul odor in the bath, drooping drapes, safe and coffee maker inoperable, no fruit at breakfast day 1, no breakfast available to us day 3, no service to fix problems, worn furnishings. Shower old, corroded, and poor. Not like their website portrays!

Location of B&B is great. Unfortunately we stayed only one night:(. Hotel staff was great at accommodating us in leaving our bags for a couple of nights while we traveled to Valencia. The only room that was available was quite large for us and for what we paid, it was quite worn out even though it was spacious.

I absolutely loved it. All of the amenities and extras I could have asked for. Gorgeous place and a massive terrace that was empty during my trip (in early October). I am very glad someone was there when I checked in - otherwise, the multiple emails and electronic keys to check in would have been confusing and overwhelming. That aside, it was a perfect stay. I hope I’m lucky enough to visit again!
