"Public areas are similarly dramatic, like the neo-colonial hall, lounge and bar, and the sleek Xina noodle bar, while other facilities include both outdoor and indoor pools, and a glam spa."

"Oh, Hostal Goya, your original “Modernista” tiled floors, oodles of natural light and elegant attitude&;&." Full review

Many very quiet rooms look out onto an interior courtyard, but in our opinion the ones to request are those with French balconies or small terraces (which overlook either the street or courtyard).
