It was my second time staying at this lovely hotel and I would definitely go back again. The rooms are well-equipped, a good size (I stayed in a superior double room) and have big windows with nice views to the street or courtyard. The staff are lovely, very helpful, friendly and thoughtful, and the location is perfect for all the main sights/transport links. And the whole place smells fantastic.

This beautiful small boutique hotel was in a lovely location and overall well-maintained and very clean. Big thumbs up for the complimentary coffee and water. However, it had three significant drawbacks. First, the bed and its mattress were very uncomfortable — when you lay down, you could feel the springs inside. I honestly don’t understand how others have praised the mattress as a positive feature; it urgently needs to be replaced if they want to maintain their rating. Second, although the hotel is called Praktik Essens and the entrance had a wonderful fragrance, this scent was completely absent from the rooms and hallways. A candle or a diffuser would greatly improve the atmosphere. Finally, regarding room 404, it was quite awkward to walk in and immediately face a sink, with no proper bathroom privacy. This layout felt impractical and lacked discretion for guests. In conclusion generally speaking the hotel was cute overall, but definitely pricey for what it offered.

I truly enjoyed my stay at the hotel and appreciated the hospitality and comfort provided. I would like to gently mention a small concern regarding the deposit refund process. I have not yet received the refund for my deposit, and I also have not received a reply to my follow-up email. I completely understand that delays can happen and that the team may be handling many requests. For future guests, it might be helpful to consider paying the deposit in cash, as it could make the refund process smoother at check-out. I share this feedback with kindness and in hopes that it may support the hotel in enhancing the communication and guest experience. Thank you once again for the stay, and I wish the hotel continued success.

Enjoyed our stay here. Comfortable room with good facilities provided. Balcony room faced the street but no noticeable noise. Common area inside and outside was good. The free tea, coffee machine and water was a good addition. Happy hour was great and reception staff very good and helpful, would stay again.

Perfect location! The hotel is beautiful and very clean. The room was small, but stylish and practical. There’s a lovely lounge area with free coffee and morning snacks, which was a great touch. The staff were extremely kind and helpful. I would definitely stay here again!

We loved our stay at Pratkik Essens. The staff is friendly and extremely accommodating. Rooms are clean, modern and in great shape. Right next to the hotel are lots of places to eat and shop (you can ask the front desk for a discount card for certain nearby restaurants which is nice). Also El Nacional a few steps from the hotel offers upscale restaurants and a great bar!

We stayed here for two nights in Barcelona. The property is very well located especially if you want to go shopping. Rooms are comfortable and they have a lounge where they offer complimentary coffee/tea and pastries in the morning and happy hour from 7-8pm daily. Would definitely stay here again.
