Hotel overview

Situated within a 17th-century building in Barcelona’s historic Ciutat Vella district, this 3-star hotel offers a quiet retreat amid the vibrant streets of the Gothic Quarter. Its polished interiors blend old-world charm with modern comforts, including air conditioning and reliable free Wi-Fi. Travelers appreciate the careful attention to security, with an elevator accessible only by guests through a coded system.

Though rooms tend to be on the smaller side, especially by non-European standards, high ceilings and tasteful decor create a spacious feel. Complimentary morning pastries, coffee, and filtered water throughout the day add thoughtful convenience. The absence of onsite dining facilities encourages guests to explore nearby Catalan eateries and street-food stalls along La Rambla, while a handy airport shuttle enhances accessibility.

Friendly and attentive staff contribute to a welcoming atmosphere, supporting travelers with local insights and personalized recommendations. Families enjoy the kid-friendly environment, while solo visitors and couples value the property’s quiet and secure setting right in the heart of Barcelona’s medieval center.

“Amazing hotel! Felt very secure with a code required for the lift which was sent well in advance. The staff was lovely and gave us great recommendations. Very close to everything in the gothic quarter and a short walk away from the metro station to get to everything else. Room was a bit on the small side but that’s expected in the older part of the city. Cannot recommend this hotel enough to anyone looking to stay in the gothic quarter in Barcelona.”

“Central location to most major sites based on walking, bus or metro. With Reception 24/7 and elevator accessible only to hotel guests, we always felt safe. Speaking of safe, it is very convenient to have your own IN ROOM SAFE to protect your valuables. The mini fridge and Nespresso coffee machine are additional special touches. Friendly and helpful staff for all your needs. A very clean and spacious establishment offering coffee, juice and fresh pastries every morning. Very much appreciated is the filtered water throughout the day. The bed felt just like a cloud, just like at home. We will stay here when we visit Barcelona again. In the meantime we will highly recommend Malda Singular Hotel to all of our family and friends.”

“I stayed for four nights in April, it was a fantastic experience. I thought the location was good for exploring the city. The rooms are large by European standard and small by American standard. The high ceilings and tasteful decor made for a very peaceful stay. Big shout out to the front desk team. I normally don't need assistance but on this trip I needed their help with different things every day. I really appreciated their helpfulness. The only challenge is figuring out how to get up to reception and out your first time. But that makes it quiet and secure. Would recommend to other female solo travelers.”

“We loved our stay at Maldà! It was clean, the staff was attentive and kind. The location cannot be beat. Right in the gothic quarter (a must see anyway) you can get to any attraction fast and easily. With the metro right there, it makes it a must stay location. We will be back!”

“Nice boutique hotel with updated room that was very clean and modern. Small terrace area to enjoy the Barcelona sun. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Super friendly! Complimentary morning pastries and coffee. Complimentary water refills. Great location in El Gotic with lot’s of restaurants and shopping”

“Very quiet and understated hotel in a brilliant part of the old gotic quarter. Look for the lift which looks like it goes to the cinema in the market entrance to the right. Its like the secret acess to Bruce Wayne's apartment. Downstairs the market is busy and well market like, upstairs is quiet and old world. The reception serves as a place for coffee and morning cakes. A simple but adequate way to start the day. The reception room is old posh Barcelona. Our bedroom was small - a bit annoying small if you were here all week but a tantalising sliver of a view down to the cathedral, very plush and an amazing shower. The hotel was friendly, reserved and quiet. There are plenty of places to explore for eats and drinks in the area. One to recommend.”
