Praktik Bakery

Hotel is very convenient and service was great. Room was quiet and is well equipped. Additional benefit was the bakery below which sells amazing croissants and fig tarts! Will definitely stay here again

All good

We stayed for 6 nights post-cruise. Taxi from the cruise port cost about €22. . You enter through the Baluard bakery’s front door, walk past the beautifully arranged sandwiches and pastries in the display case and there, hidden behind the cashier is the tiny Hotel Check-in counter with one welcoming reception staff member. We arrived early and had our luggage stored until check-in time around 1pm, We got the Wi-Fi password and found good speed throughout the hotel. We had a chance to review the breakfast buffet in the lounge, and opted to defer to day-by-day choice. That means on mornings we feel hungry and see items we like – we pay €12.50 each for an all you can eat/drink breakfast. Most mornings we just ordered at the counter a large vegetarian sandwich, a pastry and 2 coffees, which amounts to half the price of the buffet. We got a superior upper floor exterior room with a large bed, requested in advance. Two good size elevators require touch key access to activate. But they are right next to the bakery lineup with all walk-in traffic who can easily jump in to an elevator already with guests present. Perhaps not the best security, but we had no issues during our stay. Previous reviews had warned us about the room’s layout, and indeed it was very small, but clean and functional. It was on the 4th floor overlooking street, two high glass doors opening inwards to faux balcony with railing. Street noise is muted when doors are closed. Blackout blinds and sheers give full privacy.. Extremely comfortable large King bed with high quality bedding, plush towels. Two functional night tables with a drawer, but no chairs to sit on or a table to eat at. No English-language channels on the cable TV. No coffee or tea in-room, no fridge to store drinks or perishable goods. Wardrobe consists of a few wood handers on an exposed water pipe and a few open shelves. Lighting was adequate and the hair dryer worked well. The bathroom area right by the entry door is two cubicles with partially frosted glass doors which do not fully close nor lock. Great rain shower and hand held hose with excellent water pressure, but no place to put your own shampoo or soap. Don’t look for facial tissues to wipe your nose, because those are not supplied. Best to bring your own box or get some napkins at the bakery checkout. Don’t expect to control the room temperature. It is set centrally for the building so you need to adjust by opening/closing the windows. We liked the fresh outdoor air when needed. One of the best features is location. This is an excellent upscale neighborhood, just off the main Passeig de Gracia road. A short walk to 2 Metro lines, railway station to Terminal 2 at the Airport (from where a free shuttle will take you to Terminal 1). Shopping, restaurants and crowded tourist attractions. Next door is a 5* Deluxe hotel with a rooftop bar open to everyone with great views of the city especially late afternoon. Another positive attribute is t

Simple but cute and clean accommodation. Location couldn't be more perfect, far away from crowds and tourists, the hotel is within walking distance to most attractions and restaurants. We went to the cafe (Juice dudes) across the street for delicious and healthy breakfast.

Beautiful hotel and nice area in Barcelona. We requested a quiet room not facing the street, room was quiet and you could open window for a nice breeze. Great bakery inexpensive and wonderful product. Gaudi (Casa Mila and Casa Batlo around the corner). Would recommemd property. Great value.

Great location. Lovely clean room. Bakery was amazing. Perfect place to stay. No tea and coffee in room surprised me, that would be a good addition

This is the first time I make a hotel review because I feel that this time it is really needed and I will be honest. I have nothing bad to say BUT I would strongly recommend people to choose another hotel. Here is why: First of all I stayed 3 nights and paid EUR 400 per night (total for 3 nights = EUR 1200). That is the max I have ever paid for a hotel room. I thought it would be worth it BUT IT IS NOT! Far away from it in fact. The room was small. When you enter the room you find yourself in the bathroom. You have the bare minimum. No shower cap, no pen, no notepad, no nothing! When I open my window there was a white wall in front. I felt in a prison. The hallway on the floor was sad and narrow. Also I had the breakfast buffet only 1 day. They had great pastries from the bakery but I was shocked to find that the coffee pods are not next to the coffee machine. To get them you have to go to the reception! They keep the box there and they open it for you to choose your coffee and then you can go to the coffee machine! I felt like a school kid… If you are looking for a small, clean, centrally located hotel and you don’t mind paying EUR 400 than I encourage you to go. But personally I think that it is way WAY too overpriced! In conclusion: I did not get what I paid for and I felt cheated. I do not recommend this hotel. I recommend people to go in an Airbnb as hotels in Barcelona are too pricey.
