Amazing location. Peaceful and quiet. Nice and cozy decor, ample room, beautiful terrace. We love it here so much. nice Aircon. Just across from casa Mila. With diagonal metro station within 3 min walk. Fantastic stay ! Many Restaurants and shops nearby Only reminder when you do your booking is there’s some stairs at the entrance. But the staff are very friendly to help. We will definitely come back if we r in BCN again!

It's called a hotel, but it's more like a B&B. The house should be a noble mansion from more than a hundred years ago. It's beautiful and classical! I chose a room with a terrace. It feels great to eat on the sunny terrace in the morning. The front desk seems to be off work after 4 pm. The gate requires a password, which is quite safe. But if you arrive late on the day of check-in, it will be a bit troublesome. The door of the apartment downstairs is locked, and you need to communicate in advance. The location is great, and many delicious restaurants are within walking distance. It's just that the interior decoration of the room is a bit simple, not as amazing as the public area, especially the toilet is a bit like the countryside.

A very stylish hotel with a great location, right next to Gratitude Avenue and very close to La Pedrera and Casa Batlló. It’s a worthwhile trip!

The room is beautiful. The location is extremely good. Shopping and sightseeing are amazing. The expensive room rate is just for saving the car fare and insurance premiums to avoid being robbed. The location is good and the security is good. Most of the high-rated restaurants are in this area. Clean. Large space (for Spanish hotel rooms). Only suitable for two people. One more person is not allowed. The washbasin is small. This is the only drawback.

Lovely boutique B&B close to Gaudi’s house and upmarket shopping. The hotel is very comfortable and has a warm welcoming feel. Staff were always super friendly and helpful. Breakfast is plentiful and can be taken back to your room. A Nespresso machine in the lobby together with chilled filtered water is provided 24 hours free of charge. Our room was spotlessly clean, with a comfortable bed and powerful shower. We had an exceptional stay at Circa 1905

Attention! This hotel has two types of rooms. Besides the beautiful rooms with a terrace, there are interior rooms without any natural light. The latter are small, damp, and very dark. Their price, however, is comparable to much nicer rooms in other nearby hotels. Breakfast is served in the lobby, but there is a serious lack of tables and seating. The hotel offers the option to “take your breakfast to your room and enjoy it in comfort.” In our case, with a “basement-like” room without a single chair or table, this was honestly shocking. After the first night, we asked the manager to cancel the rest of our stay, offering to pay for the first night. The manager refused any form of compensation. Regardless, we moved to another hotel. Needless to say, we would definitely not recommend staying at this hotel.
Response from Property: Dear Guest, We understand that not every guest will find our hotel or their chosen room to their complete satisfaction. However, we are pleased that the vast majority of our guests have a positive experience and that we consistently meet their expectations. We offer three distinct room types, all of which are available for selection when booked in advance: the room with a terrace, the room with a balcony facing the street, and our cozy interior room. Guests select their preferred room based on the detailed descriptions provided, as the hotel does not assign rooms. We take great care in accurately describing each room to ensure your expectations are met. You selected our small interior room, which is clearly described on all booking platforms as an interior room with no natural light. It overlooks a private interior courtyard, accessible only to you, where you can enjoy breakfast in privacy. This room, like the rest of our hotel, combines modern comforts with meticulously restored period furniture, aiming to offer an experience that evokes the atmosphere of a typical Barcelona bourgeois home from the early 1900s. This particular room is often chosen by travelers who wish to experience our hotel's ambiance in a prime Barcelona location without the cost of a superior room. We kindly request that all guests carefully review the room descriptions prior to booking. As a very small hotel that is often fully booked, it is typically not possible to accommodate room changes. We regret that your expectations were not met and that you chose not to accept the alternative satisfaction options offered by the hotel.

Lots of noise from the communal areas at night/early hours of morning - Booked a 312 euro terrace room at back of apartment for the quietness - only had one undisturbed night's sleep out of three - would not recommend if you're on a business trip. Reception only on 8am - 4pm so other guests use the communal areas next to the rooms at late at night without regard for noise levels. NB: the terrace rooms overlook a busy restaurant. Frankly disappointed considering the reviews here - must have got the wrong room! Bathroom could do with an update - grey towels, bath/shower that could do with some mould removal and has a grim dirty bath surface (see photo).
Response from Property: Dear Blickingh, First of all, we would like to thank you for choosing Circa 1905 for your stay in Barcelona and taking the time to leave your review. We take all comments into consideration because all the opinions help us to improve our service and offer the best experience. We were sorry to hear about your sleepless two nights because of noise issues in common areas. In general our guests are very quiet, people that come to enjoy the cultural values of Barcelona. As we are a small boutique hotel with only 9 rooms we do not have group reservations and noisy situations, the rooms are located in the house with small living spaces in between that give even more privacy. However, we assume that some particular situations may be out of the standards, in that case we have 24 hours online assistance for our guests and if it is needed we come to the hotel in less than 30 minutes to fix the situation. Regarding the bathroom details, I would like to clarify some anti-slip surfaces take different colors when they are used but they are daily cleaned with professional products. Kind Regards, Javier M. – Director

Beautiful room, beautiful common areas, beautiful neighborhood. Helpful and friendly staff. Substantial and tasty breakfast. Comfortable bed and nice bathroom. We had a terrace room and loved it. Circa 1905 was the icing on the cake of our Barcelona experience! Highly recommended.

Our stay at Circa 1905 was an amazing experience. We were welcomed by a very kind receptionist who showed us around and gave us some tips on restaurants nearby. The room was beautiful and very clean, with a wonderful terrace overlooking a courtyard. The breakfast is also very well curated, with fresh fruits and both sweet and salty options. Overall a truly 10/10 stay, I wouldn't want to go anywhere else on my next trip to Barcelona!

Beautiful apartment in a great location. Our room was large, the bed was comfortable, the staff was helpful, and the breakfast choices were fresh and varied (unless you are looking for a hot breakfast.) We did not use our balcony, which overlooked the street; if I return to Barcelona I’ll stay here again and request a room with a balcony overlooking the courtyard.
