BONANOVA SUITE, Barcelona

The hotel sits on a quiet residential street in the safe, upscale Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district, away from the busiest tourist areas. El Putxet Train Station is a 4-minute walk, and the nearest metro station is only a few minutes further - from there, Plaça Catalunya is about 10 minutes by train. Park Güell is a 30-minute walk, and the airport is a 20-minute drive (roughly 1 hour by public transport). The surrounding streets are lined with bakeries, supermarkets, cafés, and restaurants (all within 0.5 km), making it convenient for self-catering. The area feels secure even at night, and the walk to central Barcelona is long but pleasant for those who enjoy exploring on foot.

The studios are larger than typical hotel rooms, featuring a clever layout with sliding doors to separate the living and sleeping zones. Each unit includes a kitchen area with a two-zone induction cooktop, sink, undercounter fridge, microwave, and cookware. The private bathroom comes with a shower, free toiletries, and a hairdryer. Rooms are air-conditioned and have parquet flooring, a flat-screen TV, minibar, wardrobe, safe, and a sofa bed (which may be more suitable for children than adults due to firmness and spring wear). A limited number of units have a terrace or small balcony. Windows have minimal soundproofing - road-facing or corridor-adjacent rooms can be noisy. Light sleepers should request a room away from the elevator and upper floors. Daily housekeeping is thorough and well-regarded.

There is no restaurant at Bonanova Suite, but the kitchenette in every studio is well-equipped for self-catering (induction hob, fridge, microwave, cookware). Paid wine and champagne are available on request. For meals out, the immediate area offers at least eight dining options within 0.5 km, including Italian, tapas, and international choices, plus several bakeries and a supermarket for groceries. The lack of a restaurant means guests needing full cooked meals should plan to eat at nearby restaurants or cook in the apartment.

The 24-hour front desk provides concierge service, help with luggage storage (free), and can arrange a paid shuttle service. Wi-Fi is free throughout. Daily housekeeping is included and is frequently praised for its high standard, with fresh towels provided each day. On-site parking is available for small cars at €15 per day (cannot be reserved). Additional services include dry cleaning and ironing (both at extra charge), board games, and safety features such as CCTV, smoke alarms, and a safety deposit box. The property is fully non-smoking and has a lift. Laundry is not on-site; a self-service laundromat is nearby.
