Eric Vökel Boutique Apartments - Sagrada Familia Suites

Very clean, great layout and amenities in the two bedroom apartment, with the master at the front (street) and twin at the back, past the kitchen and 2nd bathroom. Very close the Sagrada and the metro which we used non stop during our trip! Highly recommended for a family, felt like a safe neighbourhood.

Apartment #43 - street noise. Whilst the property had shutters it was still noisy for a light sleeper until well after midnight, we also seemed to have a party group in the apartments who talked on the street at 3am for at least 30mins, the main door does not have soft close so I heard (nearly) everyone come home, and the stairwell is quite noisy. A lack of reception/noise monitoring meant I heard neighbours tell this same group to be quiet around 4am. Additionally - I’d prefer to receive adequate dishwashing/toilet paper/coffee pods up front for the stay rather than asking for it. Please note, this was my experience, I would not be put off staying here again based on this.

Location

This property excels in cleanliness, facilities, and location. Navigating the city is effortless thanks to an extensive public transport network, including the metro and bus systems, and several major attractions are within easy walking distance. While there is no on-site restaurant, you’ll find excellent dining options nearby serving a variety of cuisines. For those who prefer to cook, the fully equipped kitchen is a great asset, with supermarkets just a short stroll away. The reception is staffed from 9 am to 5 pm, but a self-check-in kiosk is available for arrivals outside these hours. The team is incredibly helpful and even arranged an early morning taxi for our departure.

Nothing to say

The location was amazing. The hotel is just blocks from La Sagrada Família, metro, bus stop. The large terrace was lovely.

Unfortunately, the shower did not drain properly and the bathroom floor would be sopping wet after a shower. This required us to use our towels to dry the floor on multiple occasions. When we asked for extra towels we were told they did not provide that service but would make an exception and drop some by. I am not sure if that meant the hotel normally does not provide extra towels or they do not drop them off to the room.
