Hotel Neri occupies a 12th-century medieval palace at Carrer de Sant Sever, 5, opening onto the small square of Plaça Sant Felip Neri, and the hotel's own site puts its size at 22 rooms and suites. The old courtyard was recovered in the restoration. The top floor is Roba Estesa, a planted terrace rather than a pool, and 'a' Restaurant on the ground floor is the only restaurant on the square, run by chef Alain Guiard. The building has no lift, so the size of the top-floor rooms and the top-floor terrace is worth checking before you book.

Our read on the trade-offs — what we would book it for, and what we would want to know first.
The Deluxe Terraza is the one to book if you want the rooftop: the official site describes it as having its own terrace with a relaxation area and an outdoor bathtub, which in Barcelona is the single most bookable thing in this hotel. The Deluxe Balcony is the only category with a balcony over Plaça Sant Felip Neri. The Suite has the restored original ceilings and a separate living area, and the Junior Suites are the larger of the two middle options. The Classics are the base rooms; the site describes them as warmly decorated with wooden floors, but does not publish floor areas for any category, so we cannot give you a size comparison.
Both are five-star medieval palaces with under 30 rooms. Read our detailed head-to-head comparison covering Plaça Sant Felip Neri vs Roman walls, room sizes, dining, and stairs: Hotel Neri vs Mercer Hotel Barcelona

Hotel Neri offers 22 rooms and suites across four main categories: Classic, Deluxe, Deluxe Balcony, and Deluxe Terraza. If you want a direct view over the historic plaza, book the Deluxe Balcony. For outdoor living, the Deluxe Terraza features a private open-air sun deck with an outdoor soaking tub and loungers.
Because Hotel Neri is a protected 12th-century medieval palace, there is no elevator in the main historic building. Access to upper floors and the Roba Estesa rooftop terrace is via the original stone staircases. Hotel staff provide 24-hour luggage porterage to assist on arrival and departure.
No. Hotel Neri has a planted rooftop terrace named Roba Estesa with wooden decking, sun loungers, and drink service, but it does not have a swimming pool. On the ground floor, Alain Guiard’s 'a' Restaurant offers outdoor candlelit dining directly on Plaça Sant Felip Neri.
Because Plaça Sant Felip Neri is strictly pedestrianised, city taxis drop guests at the nearest perimeter vehicular points—either Plaça Sant Jaume or Via Laietana. From there, it is a short 2 to 3-minute walk through the medieval lanes. Hotel reception can be contacted in advance for luggage assistance.
Yes. Hotel Neri Barcelone is the French spelling of Hotel Neri Barcelona, the 22-room 12th-century palace hotel on Plaça Sant Felip Neri in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter (Barri Gòtic), Spain. Our comparison with Mercer Hotel Barcelona covers which palace suits your trip.
