Awesome stay
Great location in Barcelona, close to shops and harbor. Worth the walk to it. The front desk was very helpful in locating great spots to eat and walk to. Have helpful suggestions in transportation that was safe and if you’re on a time specific visit made things easily accessible.

Host is responsive, accommodating and helpful. The beds are super comfortable. No doors between rooms in our unit, which was a bit surprising. The area is amazing; walked everywhere, shopping is convenient. Excellent for a short term stay. Thank you!

The service was excellent, Pablo? was very friendly and gave us a whistle stop tour of the city on the mapwhen we arrived, which was great as we were only there for two days. We arrived early and even though the room wasn't ready we could drop our luggage off and head out to explore for a bit. We stayed in a family room (my wife, two kids and myself) that was perfect, comfy beds and air conditioning, we had a lovely spacious balcony that we could use for breakfast (pastries and juice that was included) and in the evening for a few drinks after retiring from the Barcelona night. Would highly recommend this place, perfect spot for exploring the city!

First Time in Barcelona
Great location, unique vintage building with charm. We enjoyed the shared outdoor space daily with complimentary juice, coffee and pastries. A nice spot to unwind after long days of sightseeing. Attentive staff when there but note that someone is not on duty 24hrs. Would recommend.

Lovely, stylish and comfortable
We were very happy with our room at Violeta Boutique. The room was clean, roomy and comfortable. All the staff we met including Gaston and Andrea were always more than willing to help us and make sure we have everything we need. The coffee and muffins they served in the mornings was an added bonus we did not expect. It was good enough to get us started on our day of discovering Barcelona. The location was central, too! We just walked to most of everywhere we needed to be. We would stay here again without any hesitation.

Lovely little gem very close to Plaça Catalunya I booked this hotel at very short notice, and during British Half-Term which drove prices upwards. The Violeta Boutique was a fantastic find - super central location, wonderful design, attentive hotel staff. Our room was huge with a beautiful covered balcony where we enjoyed the complementary tea and muffins in the morning. It all felt very safe. We would definitely return there.

Lovely hotel when we found it! (Only a small plaque to the side of the door) Staff were excellent and our room for a family of 4 adults was very spacious, shower was amazing!(more storage for clothes and another mirror would have been great) A fridge would have been amazing! Although we were kindly allowed to use one!Muffins are a welcome treat. Thank you

Nice, quaint hotel. If you are okay with a basic, clean, simple hotel with friendly staff, a complementary good cup of fresh coffee and fresh muffins (not sealed in plastic bag and kept for days) in the morning. This hotel is for you. My family and I that were out all day so we wee all fine with it.

Excellent in-town location. My expectations were higher because of the fees that Expedia adds on to the bill (I thought that it was more expensive than it is). The hotel receives less than what you pay to Expedia, so pay attention to the fee details when booking. I paid over 10% more by booking with Expedia. Still, it was the only hotel where we stayed in Spain and Portugal that charges for in-room tea and coffee. Other than that, the hotel --pension-- is stylish and clean and well-run. Coffee and magdalenas are offered in the morning. Parking is available nearby.

Violeta ... a great Spanish experience!
The stay was excellent! An architect bought three floors of an historic apartment building in the very heart of Barcelona five years ago, gutted them, and created a tiny boutique hotel. Violeta reception and registration is located on the second floor so guests enter the historic marble apartment foyer through a large grill door and use the stair or a tiny elevator to go up to reception and the rooms above. The hotel sign outside is TINY so have the street address handy. The hotel itself is cheerful, modern and trendy but retains the high ceilings and Continental ambience. Fresh flowers accent a public sitting room and there is a really lovely terrace where guests can enjoy a fabulous sugar muffin and delicious cup of fresh coffee in the morning. The excellent staff speak good English and are very kind and helpful. The modern plumbing provides good pressure and endless hot water. The internet is lightening fast and each room has a handy safe. The rooms were not as sound proof as I expected but noise was not an issue. The location could not be better ... everything from shopping and dining to attractions, the super Metro and the Aero Bus to the Airport is steps away. Although the hotel is quite a departure from what North Americans are used to, it was quite wonderful in my estimation and so much more unique than staying at a chain hotel. I recommend it!

Great staff with room for improvement
The lobby area and staff was amazing. However, the air-conditioning only worked for about 5 minutes even after talking to the staff multiple times. It was 26 C in the room each night (way too hot). The shower drain did not drain and the bathroom grouting was quite dirty. Finally, the building lobby (not their fault) had a terrible smell.

The room I staying was small. Not much facilities were provided. But what I love about Violeta was they provided muffin and coffee/tea for free in the morning. You don't have to look for a breakfast place when you are in a rush in the morning.

Pretty well ideal
Warmest welcome we can remember in any hotel, totally lovely. Grand room with balcony; and everything about the hotel very beautiful and pretty. Excellent facilities and spotless. Only a stone's throw from the Plaça Catalunya and a short walk to the Barri Gòtic; handy also for other areas (and for the metro - use nearby station Urquinaona). Doesn't do breakfast, but they do leave you a coffee and a muffin anyway. Wifi excellent. Strongly recommended.

Perfect location in the centre.
Violeta is a quirky beautiful hotel right in the centre. Very helpful staff. When we arrived the receptionist showed bus/tube links to the must see areas of the city. We were going to take the bus tour but with this info bought a 3 day travel pass for the tube and bus which was perfect. In the mornings there were coffee, teas and fresh muffins to enjoy for free with a beautiful courtyard to sit in. Would thoroughly recommend this hotel.

Quaint, Friendly
We liked this quaint boutique hotel. The location is convenient to tourist areas. We had a nice sized, quiet room. The hotel is on a few floors in an apartment building. The wifi wasn't very good on our floor. The hosts were very friendly and helpful with directions and recommendations. We enjoyed the muffins and coffee/tea in the morning and the pretty veranda everyone can use.

Convenient & Clean
5-10 min leisure walk to Plaza Catalunya, convenient if coming via Aerobus. Clean room with daily housekeeping. Beds were comfortable. Mr Juan at the reception was very friendly and helpful. Only issue is, our room at the top level was extremely cold when we checked-in, it would be nice if the room was heated up a little ahead.

Great location, very nice staff, clean room!
We got there very early, like 8am from an overnight flight. Safe to say we were so very tired. Check in is normally 11am, but they let us in right away which was a life saver! The rooms were nice, totally sufficient and clean. The only complaint I had were the pillows are hard and so is the bed. Some people like this style, but for me, after a nice long sleep, my neck and back would get slightly sore. Other than this, great place to stay!
