Violeta Boutique

Great location, simple check in, and very kind staff. The room was spacious and had a balcony overlooking the street. not advertised with a breakfast, yet the staff provides coffee and simple pastries, as well as bottled water, as an amenity. Great value for the price. Easy access to public transportation. We caught an aerobus two blocks away that took us straight to the airport for $7.50 each. Really good shopping nearby and very close to gaudi highlights (Sagrada Família esp). Close to Boqueria, la Rambla, and Barcelona cathedral. Highly recommend. As a Barcelona “regular”, it is now on my main list of places to stay.

We stayed in one of the family rooms for 2 nights as a base to tour the city. We arrived around 3:30pm and were greeted by Camille who was very friendly. He helped with our bags, gave us plenty of information on areas to visit, how to get there and also great places to eat that were not tourist traps. Our room was large, clean and had a lovely set of covered balconies that looked over a square. Plenty of tea and coffee with an nespresso machine which was unexpected and an added bonus. Water was also provided. The bathrooms were clean and water hot. Some wear and tear to the bathroom but not in any way to affect cleanliness. Air con was adequate. There is coffee and pastries available in the morning but we did not stay for that. The hotel felt very safe and secure. The hotel is in walking distance to the subway and buses and main shopping areas. Using the free now app, we had no problems arranging a taxi outside of the hotel to get further afield. It was an easy walk back from Sagrada Familia, taking only 20 minutes. I would not hesitate to stay here again and have recommended it to family and friends.

A quaint little hotel with friendly staff. Rooms are spacious and well appointed. Only downside is that the shower area is a little slippery (I know first world problems). If visiting Barcelona make the Violeta boutique your preferred option
