Opinions ERIC VÖKEL BOUTIQUE APARTMENTS Barcelona

3.5 stars, clean, friendly, and free print out service with cab reservations! The environment is not appropriate for a shopping queen! if staying in a downtown hotel and shopping. Tapas shop around that area.

Highly recommend the Eric Vökel BCN Suites. If available, request to stay on either the 6th floor, or in room 52 (5th floor). The large terraces attached to these two units are simply awesome. I stayed in 52, and spent many hours out on the terrace. It's a great place to have meals. You are surrounded by other folks who live in the neighborhood, hanging out on their outdoor spaces. I'm spoiled now, going on to the next hotel that lacks such a great space. The hotel is less than a 10 minute walk to the basilica, yet the location of the hotel is far away from the tourist crowds.

The after hours check-in worked well. I pre-paid for my room, but the automated check-in would not proceed without charging the room fee again. This wasn't a problem. An email the next day to Andy at the front desk, and the extra charge was sorted within minutes.

On our departure, Andy went above and beyond in helping with my next hotel. He talked to reception for me, and was able to sort out some confusing details regarding the check in process, that I was not able to understand with my very limited Spanish skills. Andy was a great help here, and pleasant throughout our stay.

Again, I can't say enough about this hotel. I'm thankful to the other reviewers who also speak glowingly of the BCN Suites. Take our advice, and choose this place.

Fantastic customer service. Mostly high quality room. The only downside to the Roman were that the curtains were quite thin and let streams of light in. There was also a bit of street noise. Great hotel. Would stay again.

We stayed at the Eric Vökel Sagrada Familia. It was unfortunately a disaster from the beginning when we arrived the flat. It was not thoroughly cleaned the floors dirty and generally disappointing room to arrive at.

Staying at the apartment for several days where the room was not cleaned once and no vacuum to do it yourself.

No way of getting new towels during the stay and we was forced to wash and dry them ourselves. Went down to ask for more toilet paper but the staff said it’s not included and it’s something we needed to buy on our own.

Generally the service was poor, the apartment old and worn out - the sofa bed was horrible. You were better off sleeping on the floor.

Can’t say if this only applies to this specific location in Barcelona, but it’s very overpriced for the apartment, and the service was poor.

But generally the standard was very low compared to other Erik Vökel apartments

We previously stayed at their apartments in Copenhagen and Hamburg, where the standards of the rooms and service where much higher.

Therefore we were very disappointed by the low standard of the flats and service.

Great place . Nice people. .we had a great time in Barcelona.

A perfect base from which to explore the city of Barcelona!

My family had a perfect stay here, the penthouse apartment on the 6th floor has amazing views and the terrace was a delight!

The whole team of Sasha, Sara, and Adal, were enthusiastic and helpful - we felt like honoured guests :)

The apartment itself had powerful aircon which was needed and was clean, comfortable, and modern - the bed was huge and super comfy - not too soft nor too hard.

As others have said it's not directly in the centre centre but the zone is central and has it's own charm with many lovely bars/restaurants plus right next to the Sagrada Familia and with a metro line on the doorstep of the apartments... perfect location for us.

One night stay in Eric Vökel suites was amazing.

Great service, at the front desk Sasha & Adal were very helpful with a fast check-in.

& Of course the lovely receptionist Sara helped us out with a fast check out.

The apartment was very nice, very comfortable when travelling with family.

The terrace was my favourite part, full of sunshine and perfect for sunbathing.

Thank you for making me feel like home.

We stayed in Barcelona for one week at the beginning of June this year. The location was perfect, as in the night it was really quiet and most tourist attractions were reachable either by foot or with the metro/taxis. The rooms were really modern and had everything you needed, and either had a balcony or a big terrace. Furthermore we really appreciated the help of Andi, who was really friendly and great in showing us the best ways to get to our destination, but also recomended us some hidden gems - food wise and attraction wise. We really appreciate his friendliness and would be happy to stay here again at our next visit in Barcelona.

Best wishes and thanks for the great experience - Andrei

Pleasant stay, convenient location

5년전에 스페인광장 근처의 에릭보켈 숙소를 이용한 경험으로 이번엔 파밀리아 근처 숙소를 예약했다.
역시 어느곳이나 완벽한 리셉션과 서비스가 좋았고, 주방 가구 및 그릇이 완벽하게 준비되어 있었다.주변도 조용했고, 슈퍼와 한인마트까지 인접해 있어다.
다만 대중교통까지 도보 10분정도의 시간이 필요했고, 4인기준으로 예약했는데 방 하나가 너무 작았던것이 유일한 단점이다

Fabulosa ubicación. Bonito diseño de apartamentos. Y tuvimos suerte al no coincidir con ningun borracho británico.

First of all, i want to mention the fact that the people who run this place are great. Our time was limited but with a great deal of help from Andy we managed to set a top of the class vacation which we will remember fondly. His extensive knowledge about the places in the city and around it were crucial to us, as we discovered things that you are tempted to pass without notice them, in fact they are really gems. Not to mention the routes and schedules that were kindly provided by Andy. All of these created an atmosphere of comfort and relaxation, all of us being very happy end excited with the sightseeings, places and people that we met. Thank you again for this, it was a pleasure and an honor.
Now, to the hotel itself, only the best and extra. Plenty of space, quiet, all the stuff necessary for cooking meals, comfortable beds and couches, the terrace is a space that put you in a state of meditation and preparation for new trips. I want to emphasize about cleaniness of the hotel, as a whole and of the apartment in particular, and the attention upon details. It felt like home. All things were exactly were you expected you to be, worked exactly as you expected, i don't know, it's amazing. Maybe there is a 5th sense involved here or we were on the the same wavelength.
Above this, there are the People, with capital P, as I said in the beginning. Thank you, Andy, and the other members of staff for making us one of the greatest vacation! And sorry for my long review. :)
P.s. I will keep that noted map alongside with other stuff collected from other journeys that we loved.
I didn't say much about the city, Barcelona is great and we will return for sure in another vacation.

Genial la recepción, insuperable en habilidad y trato
