Casa Bonay is my freaking casa now. Loved absolutley everything about this hotel. A boutique hotel at affordable pricing, in an ideal location; you really can't beat it! For starters: it looks incredibly cool and in turn makes you feel cool just for being there. The staff is attentive and quick to accommodate, helping us get additional towels, robes, and even a taxi! Their navy linen scrub uniforms were so outrageously chic that I wanted a pair for myself. The rooms are spacious, with a lovely rainfall shower and an AC that TRULY works, reaching whatever your ideal temp might be. The bed is huge and comfortable, with breathable bedding that was great for the hot hot Barcelona summer. The coffee shop, TosTao, was our go to every morning for the PERFECT iced latte which saved our lives on more than one occasion after a few late nights in the gothic quarter. We did not get a chance to try the on-sight restaurant, but based on the packed seats every night, I have a feeling it rocks. The rooftop bar alone makes a stay at Casa Bonay attractive and even includes a dreamy private area for hotel guests. Casa Bonay is truly a home because it offers everything you may need and more! You could never leave the property and still have a stellar vacation. I cannot recommend it enough for travelers visiting Barc! read more

The hotel is basically an upcycled motel. The staff could care less, no smiles, bored out of their minds. The rooms were basic, the blankets were thin like paper. The lobby/ informal dining hall was beautifully decorated with people on their laptops but the staff were unhelpful. I definitely would avoid this hotel. So many beautiful hotels at great price points in this city. read more

Cute little hotel with great, great customer service. The concierge, a man in his (year 2019) early 30s, white, was incredibly nice and accommodating when we needed a place to store one suitcase a day before check in. And he was more than happy to answer any questions anyone can have. One of the best concierge I've met, in a professional capacity. The general feel when you walk in, to the hotel, is that it's a small, but still city-like, boutique, where you're blocked from all the city noises and the city people, tourists. I like it. The decor, lobby area, which is pretty cramped but you don't mind it because everything goes so well together, kind of like a hostel but way nicer, is contemporarily rustic. They also have shuttle service to the airport if one needs it, but they will also call a cab for you if you don't have the time to wait for the shuttle. This hotel is very green. And I mean that in a literal and metaphorical way. Everything in their room, their decorations, the things they used.. it's all to-save-our-planet vibe. Nothing seems to be wasted. It's a nice change of pace comparing to the rest of Barcelona. And their balcony is pretty awesome. I really wish we'd stayed here a little longer than just one night. We had to catch a super early plane the next morning so I didn't really get to enjoy all the full benefit of this place. But maybe the next time I come back to this city, if for some reason I decide not to stay in an airbnb, I'd stay here. Even their lobby is cute. Their rooms come stocked with a full snack bar, drink bar and even some protection for some last minute.. randy-ness. Of course most things there are not complimentary but if you have money to burn or just is too lazy to go out or don't have the mind or time to, you won't starve in here or (hopefully) not catch a STD there. Their TV also offers Youtube channels, so if you're bored or can't sleep, at least you have entertainment that's not all Spanish-speaking channels or the news. One complaint I do have is their wifi. It's good, it's fast but the connection is often weird when you leave and come back of the building. Sometimes it will auto connect but sometimes you try to connect it 3-4 times and it still won't let you. Eventually it always does but just have to keep trying. read more

Casa Bonay - Bathroom. Cute. - Hotels Near Me - Barcelona, B

While the desk staff was indeed very nice, I don't understand the lack of room lighting. The bathroom is dim (good luck with that) and the main room consists of one small lamp on each side of the bed. I've attached an unaltered photo of my room's entry hall where the full length mirror is located on the left. No overhead lights whatsoever. The crack of light on the left is from the bathroom and appears brighter than it actually was in contrast to the dark hallway. Bathroom is tiny with no counter space. Platform bed corners are sharp and don't combine well with tiny space and dim light. I intended to dine and have a drink at Libertine on my final night. It was not crowded yet I sat at a table for at least 10 minutes without any service. I gave up and went to bed hungry because I needed to pack up and wake early for my flight. Bed and bedding are good quality. read more

This is one of my favorite hotel stays ever... no joke! I was immediately enamored in the lobby, as it's occupied by the cutest independent bookstore! The check in process was easy and staff was helpful... they have a bike rental program, which is a great asset in such a huge city! I got up to my room and my jaw dropped. If you're into a stylish bohemian look that puts a priority on comfort, then your jaw will drop too. I chose a room with a balcony... it's an absolute must - you have a great view of the street and increases the beauty and comfort of the room when left open. I would also suggest going for breakfast included... Libertine is a beautiful lounge/bar/breakfast spot, and the spread is super tasty. I was completely surprised to find chia and deliciously ripe fruit amongst the spread. If you need a pick-me-up in the middle of the day, they have a coffee shop onsite. I cannot recommend this place enough - if you're staying in Barcelona, check this place out! read more

Casa Bonay - I loved my room! - Hotels Near Me - Barcelona, B

There aren't enough great things to say about Casa Bonay, my home away from home in Barcelona. My husband and I had a hell of a time getting from the airport to the hotel due to a city-wide taxi strike and total shutdown of ridesharing apps and cars-for-hire. I called the front desk from the airport and, while there wasn't really anything they could do, the woman I spoke with was so kind and helpful with explaining my options for public transportation. Once at the hotel, I enjoyed a refreshing shower with high-end bath products (Malin+Goetz yassss!) and a nap in the super comfy bed. Our room was a little tight but not bad; still plenty of room for two large suitcases and a rack for hanging some clothes. Our small balcony overlooking the Gran Via was awesome and the tall windows provided lots of natural light. I also really liked the bathroom layout which had the shower on the left, sink in the middle and toilet behind a separate door on the right. Do check out the rooftop space, even if just for a drink. I love, love, love how they have a separate section just for hotel guests. We popped up one evening to check out the bar, which is open to the public, and it was so packed we decided to head elsewhere. The following day, we returned with friends to the private space on the other side of the roof and ordered some drinks from the bar downstairs. It was such a relaxing break in our day! Having the trendy Libertine bar/lounge and Satan's Coffee all in the same building was so convenient! Satan's was a little slow in terms of service but the coffee was great. Libertine was an excellent retreat from the city for drinks, snacks or small meals; we went there a handful of times during our three night stay. The location of the hotel is within walking distance to lots of great restaurants, bars and shopping, plus some really beautiful sights like the Arc de Triomf. It's also super convenient to several Metro stops. I'd love to book my next Barcelona stay at Casa Bonay! read more

Accommodating - friendly - beautiful Stayed here while visiting Spain and fell in love with the location. The front staff were very sweet and more than excited to tell us all about local restaurants, beaches, and museums. Attached they have a cafe, rooftop lounge, and a restaurant. The restaurant had great food and good company, I would recommend the hamburger! They have events throughout the month, mainly on Friday and Saturday nights. The rooftop is very relaxed and has lounge chairs for tanning. This hotel is very hipster with elegant decor. The hotel also owns kayaks and paddle boards located only 15 minutes away at the local beach for FREE! It even include lunch. Would love to one day return here ***** read more

We spent 5 nights there while we were in Barcelona and had a great time getting coffee in the morning at Satan's and hanging out at Libertine (both next to the lobby). We took advantage of their free bike and paddleboard rentals, which were super convenient, and the location couldn't have been better. We were initially considering a different hotel further away from the city center for a lower price but I can honestly say the price was worth it. The central location allowed us to walk to all the destinations we wanted to go, and if we were tired of walking we could always rent the bikes. Overall, 10/10 would recommend and I hope to return someday! read more

Sometimes a hotel is just a place to store your belongings and freshen up while on vacation, and sometimes it can be the reason you fall madly, completely in love with a new city. Casa Bonay was the latter for me, and now I'm absolutely smitten with Barcelona. Casa Bonay is situated away from the crazy, overcrowded Las Ramblas, but perfectly central to everything in Barcelona worth visiting. More impressive than that, though, is that its location is ideal for those that just want to walk outside and see where the Barcelona breeze takes them. Once you step foot outside CB's tropical foyer that doubles as a cute as a button bookstore and gateway to the property's onsite dining, bar, and coffee shops, you can just start walking in any direction, and you'll find something worth happening upon. It's also close to a Metro stop as well. The best part about Casa Bonay is that it is a destination on its own. From Satan's Coffee Corner for a cup of one of the city's most heralded coffees and a decadent pastry or fresh-pressed juice to Libertine for their breakfast spread or nightcap cocktail (or to get some work done or grab a sophisticated bite in between meals) to Elephant, Crocodile, Monkey for a more upscale Southeast Asian meal. The pièce de résistance, and my first introduction to Barcelona after dropping off the stuff in my room and rinsing off, is the beautiful rooftop. I visited a handful of rooftops during my trip, and let's just say...you never forget your first! Guests can casually hang out up there and call down for beverages/food from Libertine to be delivered up or you can officially dine/drink up there as a non-guest at Chiringuito, which feels/looks like any bustling rooftop you might find in summer in Manhattan. The Passage Medium was quite roomy for one person but wasn't at all cramped with two people. The water pressure on the shower was amazing, but even more impressive was the stylist-level hair dryer! The shower/sink area didn't have a door, but the toilet did. The room comes with a yoga mat and two blocks, as well. The bed was very comfortable and the courtyard view was quaint. Fantastic service from every single staff member I encountered and the ease of which to check-in and check-out was something out of a professional hotelier's playbook. I could have spent a significant amount less staying at an apt via any apt hosting site or at a more budget hotel, but I really do think the amenities, location, and vibe of Casa Bonay was worth the extra (extra) Euros. If you're looking for an American comparison, it's as if the hip/cool decor and ambiance of an Ace Hotel had a wild night of passionate love with equally as hip/cool but also comfy as hell NoMad Hotel (part of the Sydell Group). read more

ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH THIS PLACE!!! If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. The people, the decor, the hospitality, everything was beyond our expectations. The mister and I started our trip staying here and we also ended our last stay here too. It was so good we had to go back! It is the best boutique hotel we've ever stayed. We aren't much for grand hotels. This place hit home for us. It's hip, it has a coffee shop and a bar/lounge downstairs, and a cute rooftop. I'm sure when the weather's nice out, this place is swamped with visitors. Enrique, who first checked us in when we got there, made the experience even better. He gave us great suggestions and made us feel at home. Can't wait to get back and visit our second home! read more

My stay at Casa Bonay helped turn my trip to Barcelona around. After a mix up with AirBnB we ended up booking a room at Casa Bonay. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the hotel. The building is full of character. Each room is slightly different due to the building being an old apartment building. The rooms were stocked with top quilts toiletries. The lobby was a great place to recharge and get a drink or a coffee. The restaurants had a great selection of food, and there was always a vegan and vegetarian options. The staff was wonderful. Each person we encountered was warm and extremely helpful. I will definitely be staying the next time I come to Barcelona. read more

Amazing little boutique hotel in central Barcelona, 10 minutes walk away from everything worth visiting (El Born, Las Ramblas, Plaza de Catalunya, Sagrada Familia, La Boqueria, etc...) It's a minimalistic feel with a super friendly, non-minimalistic staff. The bed was svery comfortable, super cool interior design, and beautiful high ceilings. We had a room with a view of the courtyard and it was quaint and cozy. Satan's coffee shop is attached to the hotel and I must say it's one of the top in Barcelona! They even serve breakfast aside from their over the counter baked goods etc. The restaurant is amazing and the lounge is uber cozy with unique designs and colours making it lovely to enjoy. During the summer months they have a rooftop restaurant as well so I have to come back to experience that. Highly recommend this place!!! read more

LOVED staying at Casa Bonay! It's colorful and thoughtful artistic decor really makes the whole experience. Service was 100% excellente and all of the staff was helpful and friendly. I also appreciate how eco-friendly this hotel is. The shampoo and soap bottles are refillable and water comes in a glass bottle. They have other complimentary toiletries like lotion and slippers, but you'll have to request them if you want. My favorite perk were the complimentary bicycles from tokyobikes that hotel guests can reserve for free! We were able to reserve two for the entire day -- we ended up using them literally all day and bikes to the beach and all the way up towards park guell (wouldn't recommend going all the way up since it's uphill). Nevertheless the experience to bike all day in Barcelona was priceless, thanks to Casa Bonay! I also snagged one of their books from the small shop in their reception area "Casa Bonay: In the making." The history of this place goes far back to the 1800s. Can't wait to read more! read more

Casa Bonay - The book that explains the history behind Casa Bonay (in español). - Hotels Near Me - Barcelona, B

I just checked in casa bonay. I want to move to another other place already. The location is bad, it's far from main steets and main attractions. Room conditions are bad, and the bathroom is so tiny and dark. Even wifi connection. Customer service is not comforting. This is my first time in Barcelona, and this hotel ruins the experience. I cannot believe that this hotel has a rating of four stars. Would not recommend. read more

Beautiful lobby area for coworking, coffee and pastries. Dark and lovely interior decor, friendly staff, and the very best Satan's Coffee Co. coffees! Well worth a visit :) read more

tl;dr- Stay here. This place is awesome. Before you even check in, you can run into their coffee shop (Satan's), check the menu for the accompanying asian fusion restaurant (not bad!), or hang in the gigantic lounge/bar area, which hosts a breakfast every morning. When you do eventually check in, you'll find a nice room waiting for you with all the spoils of a western boutique hotel. I've stayed in enough Euro hotels to expect the worst, but these rooms were a pleasant surprise. There was more than enough room for a gigantic king bed and all of my travel supplies. Bonus: it had a small sitting area, mini-fridge and a patio. The cleaning staff never came in unannounced, which has been an issue lately, nor did they judge the amount of jamon potato chips laying around. Though I didn't get to check out the roof deck, Casa gets 5-stars without it. Walkable to everything, it was a great place to stay for my first visit to this city. Can't wait to get back! read more

So cool and effortlessly chic. The rooms are very spare but perfectly appointed, with great tile floors, good blackout curtains and a minimalist but warm design. (One thing: They should offer free bottled water.) The breakfast is topnotch. It's in a great, central location where it's easy to get anywhere (La Sagrada Familia to the North; Boqueria/Rambla to the South), and there are great, buzzy places (Bicnic, Casa Rafols) a few blocks away. And the price is beyond reasonable. read more

Casa Bonay is for sure one of the coolest hotels I have ever been in. When I saw it in the Coolmapp Barcelona Guide, I knew it was going to be a cool hotspot but it totally exceded my expectations. Its interior design is really hip & cool, all the employees were lovely and willing to help us. We also loved their lounge bar food and cocktails and their café. Furthermore, it is centrally located (10 min walk to Plaza Cataluña) and its rooftop terrace is awesome! read more

Great place to stay. Love the lounge area downstairs and the place has a fantastic natural wine list.
