Cotton House Hotel, Autograph Collection

We stayed at The Cotton House for 2 nights for a combined business/sightseeing trip. We usually book the big brand names but decided to go for something with a local touch this time, we liked the air of history and elegance and the promise of excellent service. We were not disappointed and would absolutely stay there again.
A quick wrap-up of the things we liked:
The location is very good, you get to major sights fast. By foot faster than by cab.
The architecture and interior of the house is lovely and well maintained (it's not over-restored, but also not shabby at all). We specifically loved the bar/breakfast room with the wooden walls and ceilings and beautiful decor.
Our room (looking into the courtyard) was clean, quiet, and had a very nice fresh feeling about it.
The service both at the reception and bar was very friendly and prompt.
A nice extra: Every room comes with a water bottle (that needs to be returned when you leave, or you can buy it) that can be refilled on every floor, you can take it around with you during your stay, so no need for buying plastic bottles all the time. I think especially during the summer this is very helpful.

Just one thing - the gym is rather small. Just a bike and a crosstrainer, and I think some weights. But you cannot expect a huge gym in such a historic building. Doesn't fit.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay a lot and, as written before, would definitely come back.

We had an absolutely fabulous stay here. 5* all the way. Everything and everywhere was absolutely spotless, comfortable and The Cotton Room was amazing with a balcony overlooking the courtyard with a beautiful view of the city. The team were outstanding. Special shout out to Susana and Reyal who could not do enough for us to make this a very special stay. Nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel so welcome, Their attention to detail and thoughtfulness made this a trip to remember. The location is right in the centre with a few minutes walk to Plaça de Catalunya, A highly recommended hotel with first class team! The atmosphere was so welcoming from beginning to end

Great stay at the Cotton House. It is a unique well maintained property. A very artsy decor and that is what makes it unique. We had a great stay here which would have been better if the service in the restaurant during dinner was better.

We just spent 7 nights at the Cotton House Hotel and literally everything about this hotel was perfect. It started with the reception we received when we arrived at the hotel and were asked if we would like a cup of coffee. Both our room and our friend’s room were ready when we arrived at 10:30 in the morning. Nice after traveling overnight. When we got to our room, what I nice surprise to find a bottle of Cava, a slice of cake and a nice note for my birthday.

Our room was spotless with a balcony facing the terrace and courtyard below. Nice and quiet with no noise from street traffic. The entire hotel was very well maintained and the decoration for the holidays was excellent.

At drinks on the terrace the first afternoon we were served by Fira. She had a great smile and made you feel at home right away. Each time we ran into her during the week, it was like meeting an old friend. All of the staff in the restaurant were excellent. Each morning we were greeted by an employee with a smile on their face. The food was excellent and since the hotel only has 83 rooms it was very relaxing and the music selection added to to calming atmosphere.

Several times we requested items to be brought to our room and each time they were delivered within 5 minutes.

Every employee greeted you with a smile no matter where you ran into them. Having spent 40 years in Human Resources, hiring employees, I must commend the people who hired employees for the hotel. They couldn’t do enough for you.

This past weekend, the hotel ran a holiday event for those staying at the hotel as well as being open to those not staying there. The staff really worked very hard during these 2 days, but always had a smile on their face and treated everyone as a special guest.

I will certainly recommend The Cotton House Hotel to anyone visiting Barcelona. Great hotel, great location and exceptional staff.

This was our first trip to Barcelona and we are very happy to had our resting spot in a perfect location. Everything is great about this hotel, the staff were incredibly professional, courteous and helpful. The hotel has a great cozy, elegant mood, and we were very surprised how quiet our room was (I advise getting a courtyard side room).
What we really enjoyed was how perfectly located the hotel is from so many things we could walk to (we averaged 20000 steps a day!) but to gothic area, la Rambla, and shopping on Garcia, finding little hidden cafes, yummy tapas, having a great location that became a great second home, it was hard for us to leave.
Just know you are in a busy area, so if looking for a peace and quiet spot, this won’t be it. But you’re in Barcelona for the city life, right :-)

We spent two nights at the Cotton House at the beginning of our Spain trip. We had an excellent experience with this hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and provided excellent service. Special shoutout to Jose who greeted us every time we came in and out and made it such a great personal experience.
The room was perfectly laid out and really loved the double sinks in the bathroom. Bed was super comfy!
The location was perfect for getting around the city which was all walkable. I highly recommend.

Always lovely

Cotton House is an exceptional hotel in a convenient address-within walking distance of many must see attractions. This hotel is an oasis of calm and comfort offering unique amenities such as a dining patio and a library. Everyone was very warm and friendly. Reyes expertly handled our bags and made sure we were safely in our taxi on our journey home. He was very kind.

The bar/restaurant was phenomenal-we had dinner and breakfasts there-all were excellent. Cristopher offered get us custom cocktails tailored to our preferences.

The rooms were very clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend Cotton House!

Our stay here, from start to finish, was nothing short of amazing because of the amazing staff. I wanted to shout out to Cristopher, who was just beyond accommodating and friendly to our small group during our time in Barcelona. Every hotel should be so lucky to have a Cristopher!

Amazing experience! The service was impeccable and they truly went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. Reyes at the front was a gem and made sure logistically we made it to the airport on time with no hassles.

Loved this hotel! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make sure our visit was exceptional. Reyes was so kind and made sure we had all that we needed to get to the airport safely.

Excellent hotel in the centre of town. Excellent reception staff when I checked in..I didn’t like the first room, and showed and gave me a better room without a problem. Rooms are dark, due to the awful browny colour on the walls, and there is no carpet on the floor, which makes the rooms a bit stark.
There’s a nice restaurant cum bar, too.
Coffee in the lobby would be an addition. The hotel was exceptionally quiet too, which is a plus
A good hotel

We like to choose hotels with a bit of character or history and in this case, the Cotton House Hotel delivered on both counts. A former headquarters for Barcelona's Cotton Producers' Guild, each of the rooms is named after a specific type of cotton. It has an intimate and upscale plantation feel, with ornate carvings, wood paneling and antique mirrors. The location on Gran Via was convenient and we were able to walk everywhere! There are nearby mini markets and a wealth of restaurants just outside the doorstep and a taxi rank at the end of the block.

While the rooms aren't large, the sheets (as expected) were amazing and the AC was perfection. There was a shower room, comprised of both a large tub and a shower in an open floor plan. Loved the Ortigia bath amenities, and they even provided us with a toothbrush in the event we forgot ours. The room overlooked the in-house restaurant, Batuar, and was exceptionally quiet. Staff was efficient and friendly and service in the restaurant was excellent.

There's a little gem of a rooftop pool with a view of the Sagrada Familia, a spa and a workout facilty on the top floor. Overall this hotel was clean, featured beautiful interiors and had a great staff. We would definitely return!

Worth every penny!

Close to most of the attractions and Reyes was really nice but that's where the pros end. We arrived at 7am (we booked the room the night before) and the FDA wasn't friendly and not receptive to my requests, despite multiple discussions through the app pre-arrival. No recognition of my elite status at Bonvoy. We were given a tiny room with balcony facing the restaurant. The bathroom was very unusual, because the shower was in the middle and had nothing to keep the water from exiting the bathroom door. I asked for a feather-free, hypoallergenic bedding but woke up quickly because I couldn't breath and had to take my allergy pill. We were there just to sleep, but that goal wasn't accomplished. At breakfast, I couldn't get anyone to serve me, tho they were attentive to the other guests. And when they finally did, they were very unfriendly. The restaurant staff placed me in a corner and never returned to take my order. The lunch staff was better but the food wasn't good. It was impossible to get a hold of any managers because they only work from 9a-5p and had no coverage. And the staff members who were there absolutely had no discretion to make any decisions. When the front office manager came, I had a discussion with her. She didn't really do anything other than listen to the issues. I would not return to this property.

My stay at the Cotton House was absolutely perfect. The location is very convenient to all the major tourist sights. A very professional, yet friendly concierge desk that was incredibly helpful both before our trip and after we arrived. Ariadna--you personally worked so hard to help us. Your staff--Lois, Eduardo, Javier and everyone at Gossypium is filled with the best insider tips. We loved the private tour guide you suggested for Sagrada Familia and Gaudi Houses. The restaurant recommendations were all delicious. Cañete was our favorite for tapas. I would like to give a special thank you to Josephine who stayed late to help me with a suitcase stranded in customs. From the moment we arrived at the hotel, the front desk and bellmen were all so accommodating. Every request was filled immediately. Housekeeping--Margari and Edalia--left my room sparkling morning and night. The hotel "tip" cards left at night gave great tips for things to see in Barcelona.

The breakfast every morning has anything you could want. The servers work so hard to make sure everyone is satisfied--the perfect cappuccino, latte, espresso with a choice of many breads, eggs, salmon. All of our servers did their best to provide whatever we wanted. Deni took especially great care of us. One morning I watched as Javier, the hotel manager, was making coffees after working a late wedding the night before. This is the best part of the hotel--a staff that works as a team and the following people went above and beyond:

Emma
Chantal
Isa
Marina
Reyes
Emma
Vito
Hugo
Sasha
Eder
Juan
Sigrid

Already thinking about a return trip. For anyone planning a trip to Barcelona, the Cotton House should be the number one hotel on your list!
