Casa de Marcelo is incredibly comfortable, and the staff is not only helpful, but also very kind. Olivier met us upon our arrival, sat us down with a bowl of cherries, and gave us the scoop about the area and the keys. Trying to make us as comfortable and relaxed as possible, he asked us many times if we wanted... More

Coming to the Casa de Marcelo the first thing that strikes you is the excellent location. Surrounded by lovely restaurants and terraces in a lovely building. Upon entering the hospitality of the host is engaging and comforting. Not only do you feel at home in the comfortable lobby and room, but you are immediately given a grip on the surrounding... More

We were extremely fortunate to get a room at Casa de Marcelo on short notice - and it couldn't have been better! Thank you to Olivier and Marcelo for providing us with a very comfortable room, delicious breakfast, perfect location. The shared bathroom (love the blue tiles) was spotless. Especially loved Olivier's tips for restaurants. Would definitely stay again.

Stayed here while in Barcelona for work during Primavera Sound. The owners were extremely welcoming and went out of their way to save some breakfast me because they knew I was keeping really late hours with being at a music festival (so sweet!)They also let me and my colleague (who wasn't staying at the hotel) work out of the reception...

Definitly a hotel I would stay another time. No surprises (just the good ones), the staff were really kindly and helpful, we arrived early (10h am) and since our bedrom was ready they let us get in. The localization is the best: really next to barceloneta beach (beautiful!), and next to the subway. The breakfest was amazing (even the glasses... More

We had a great stay in Barcelona, before and after a recent cruise. This guest house is very nice and is located in a great area of the city. It is an easy walk to most everything including hundreds (no exaggeration) of fun little restaurants and bars. The best part of Casa Marcelo are the hosts...Marcelo, Nick and Suzanna were... More

I want to say nothing but nice things about this place. The people are welcoming, helpful, and lovely. We arrived tired from an all night flight and were delighted that our room was ready for us at 10am even though check in time is 3pm. It's an easy walk to Las Ramblas, and there are plenty of nice places to... More

My wife and I stayed here during the second week of May 2013. She gave it a glowing review but I thought they deserved to hear from us both since everything was so amazing.
