Barcelona is a special city, but if you want to make your stay really special, then choose Southern Cross! Its special atmosphere, especially in the morning when the usually busy Port Vell is quiet, can't be beaten by any hotel!

Great view, and walking distance to key locations. Pau was very helpful with us, keeping our bags before check-in and after check-out. Room was clean and comfy, and the view and location of the ship was very nice and convenient.

This is not a drawback but a feature of the property. The cabins of a small sailboat cannot provide you with the comfort of a hotel room - you need to be prepared for this. However, I can’t call this a drawback - it’s a great experience that will be remembered for a long time

On my last day in Barcelona, a work trip, I wanted something unusual. And this is exactly what I was looking for. The weather was calm, and therefore, the boat did not rock. A morning on deck with a cup of coffee is unforgettable.

The rooms need some retouching, for example the floor was looking pretty bad and the dust need to be cleaned from upper spaces. The overall experience was great.

The staying was a great experience as we had the opportunity to stay in a ship with such a long history. The personal was great during the stay as well as before, we had multiple conversations about the fact that the ship may be reserved for a private departure and always they wrote to us to make sure it fits our schedule. There was a departure on the day we stayed and we were welcome to join the cruise. The breakfast was great with fresh cold cuts and pastry. The room was spacious enough and very comfortable although the cleaning needed some attention.

We had a great experience staying on this boat, the staff (Paul and Ray) were very friendly and helpful. On top of that we enjoyed a lot the free boat trip along the Barcelona’s shore. The Real clube Náutico is well located with an amazing view. Thus, we highly recommend it.

Unable to access room when boat was on private tours. Not being able to flush toilet paper.

We were able to go out on tour if a private event was not scheduled. The staff was very nice and accomodating. It was nice meeting fellow travelers.

A very warm reception and a good information. The ship is very beautiful with, full of history and an authentic interior. The rooms were clean. The next day the staff had invited us to join them for a boat trip around the port of Barcelona without charging us. Special thx for the young sailors for their help and kindnesses.

It was a bit surprising when we found out that the boat could be booked by other people for sunset cruises, which meant it could be inaccessible to us from 6.30 to 8.30 of an evening. However, this only happened twice on our stay, and we were invited to join one of the cruises, so it was actually a bonus that we got to sail on the boat once.

It was a tremendous experience. The boat felt like old time opulence, and the mooring was really close to the Gothic Quarter and Barcelonetta beach.

I think that for what we paid, the breakfast could be better. The Wifi was also bad, though I understand that being on a ship may make it complicated. We had bad luck with the weather which is no one's fault and there were some annoying guests staying at the same time as we did, but this is out of the ship's control.

The ship is very elegant and the room was especially impressive. It felt really nice to relax both in our room and in the big dining room/living room on the ship. The crew were friendly and everything was communicated well.

At 5”11 I found the rooms very tight on space, also the honesty box containing the keys to access the property after dark only works if other guests remember to put the key back once they let themselves in (during my stay - they didn’t) which was annoying.

Very comfortable bed in an incredible location in the city, right on the waterfront between two metro stations. The host Mireya was very helpful, spoke excellent English and was a delight to converse with.

The classic boat was from 1962. The boat was maintained in excellent condition. Each room was welcoming and the staff super friendly.

So unique and beautiful in every way!

One of my favorite stays ever. I love being on the water, but this boat is absolutely gorgeous. For me, being rocked to sleep at night was amazing. I loved just sitting out on the deck to watch the city from across the water or gaze at stars. The staff were helpful, knowledgeable, and went out of their way to make it a great experience.

It did smell a bit in the bathroom. Hot tub not working: Soap in bathroom would have been good.

Quirky hotel - if you are used to boats all good, but if not you may find it cramped and awkward. Walls are thin so be prepared to wake up when the neighbouring cabins are awake or be disturbed when they retire for the evening. Breakfast was nice and simple - you are left to help yourself - would have been nice to have had fresh pastries rather than packets of bread/.
