Hotel Neri – Relais & Chateaux

Trip Advisor sent me an email request to submit another review for the Hotel Neri. Not sure why but here you go. I reviewed the Hotel Neri after our stay in November of 2018 so for the full review with photos go see that review (Ignore that this review says we were there in November of 2023, I had to select a date as part of this review and that was the oldest one, we were there in 2018 as I stated) In any event my feelings are the same, this is NOT a 5 Star Hotel. The room was small, dirty and poorly appointed. Virtually no closet space but a small cubby hidden by a curtain to put your things in. We wound up keeping our suitcases on the floor and taking our cloths in and out from them. There were minimal amenities. Service was ok but not exceptional. The Common areas were better appointed than our room. It was over priced and now even more so. It was over 300 Euro's in 2018 and now the rooms are 700 Euro in November. The only positive thing about this Hotel is its location and close proximity to the Gothic section of Barcelona, that's it! You have much better 5 Star Hotel options in Barcelona so AVOID the Hotel Neri

Perfection in the heart of the Gothic section of Barcelona. Our family of six ( 4 kids ages 13, 16, 18 and 21) stayed at Hotel Neri for our one day in Barcelona. First- the location was amazing - tucked on a quiet alley in the heart of the historic gothic district. The Cathedral of Barcelona, the Plaça de Sant Felip Neri, street opera at night and many other amazing historic landmarks were mere steps from our hotel … a perfect base from which to explore. From the moment we arrived - the hospitality was warm, friendly and genuine - from all staff. Mauro greeted us, checked us in and made sure all our needs were addressed throughout our stay. Thomas was entertaining and great help getting us settled and accompanied us out into town to be sure we found the perfect lunch spot. Our waiter for dinner whose name we did not learn was warm friendly and very helpful with spot on recommendations. We had an amazing dinner in their chic restaurant and our usually unadventurous eaters were convinced to try many new food items and everything was delicious and devoured. We also enjoyed a perfect breakfast with delicious pastries, the sweetest fruit, and perfectly prepared omelets and French toast. And finally the rooms - they were heavenly… the most comfortable beds ever, tasteful lighting and spectacular bathrooms with lovely skin and hair products. We would not hesitate to recommend Hotel Neri to our most picky traveler friends.

Excellent customer service!

Wonderful little boutique hotel with excellent staff and delicious food!!!

I don’t usually leave reviews, but Hotel Neri truly deserves special recognition. This place is a hidden gem that exceeded all of my expectations. The interior design is stunning, blending historic charm with modern elegance in a way that makes you feel both at home and in awe. Every corner of the hotel is thoughtfully curated, creating an atmosphere that is both luxurious and welcoming. The food was absolutely delightful. From the breakfast offerings to the exquisite dinner menu, every dish was prepared with the utmost care and attention to detail. You can tell that the chefs here are passionate about what they do. The service was exemplary—every staff member was warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our stay perfect. They went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed, which made our experience even more memorable. After a long day of exploring the beautiful streets of Barcelona, I found myself genuinely excited to return to my room. It was a sanctuary of comfort and style, providing the perfect end to each day. Hotel Neri is a place I would return to without hesitation, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable stay in Barcelona.

Great hotel! Location is hard to beat for this high quality of a hotel. The staff is very friendly and helpful also helped to give us a good insider view of the city. The bellman, Thomas is very helpful, friendly, and energetic. What a great face of the hotel!!

Lovely hotel overall. The rooms are exceptionally clean, beds are very comfortable. The extra bed we had for our child was great, a real mattress, not a cot. Our room had a tub/shower combo that was not easy to get into, it was steep, slippery, and there is nothing to hold onto, so if that is a concern for anyone, do ask for a room with a walk-in shower. For those sensitive to odors, there is a very strong flowery/perfume smell in the lobby. Some may enjoy it. I did not. The rooftop is a very. nice place to sit. The pool is cute, but not a pool for swimming. It's more for dipping your feet. The staff was great, very nice and helpful, and it was clear they wanted to offer a nice experience to guests. The one disappointment was the breakfast, which was nothing like other amazing breakfast experiences we've had in Spain, with beautiful buffets and wonderful cheeses and meats, yogurts, pastries, etc. This hotel offers a bit of fruit, a small not so tasty bread basket, and our eggs arrived cold. The location is excellent.

Lovely hotel with a good restaurant and excellent service.
