The Originals Boutique, Le Palacete (Relais du Silence)

The manager super nice and friendly. Breakfast was really good

in concept the hotel is very nice. In practice, having to ring the bell to go in to check in (and after your room key is de-activated) is not great. I, and people who came to visit me, were told to be patient but honestly we're at a hotel so perhaps the service should be a bit faster! For instance on my last day, I had to ring the bell 20 times before someone came to the door. When I was checking in, it was better, but I still had to ring 3 times. I also would've asked more advice if someone was around all the time but they weren't. I saw other reviews discussing the room I was in where there was water damage, stained walls, etc. For the cost, that doesn't seem right. Additionally, my room had a skylight which was lovely during the day, it was very dark (and very dim lights) at night.

Location was pretty nice. Quiet neighborhood. Walking distance to La Sagrada Familia and Park Guell.

I love the Gràcia neighborhood in which this hotel is located. It has many bars, restaurants and shops and the streets are always lively and filled with people. The property itself is on a lovely side street and it’s very close to several metro stops. My wish is that the room included a bidet ( one great thing about traveling in Europe ) as did all our other hotels in Spain. I also wish that breakfast would be included in the room price. Overall, it was a lovely place to stay.

This hotel is less than 1/2 block from a wonderful plaza where we sat outside and ate the majority of our breakfast and lunch meals and in the heart of the wonderful Gracia neighborhood.

Best thing is elevator even if it is only two floors property and the worst is nothing as far as i see.

Booked this hotel for my 23 year old daughter, based on positive reviews on the local area and safety. She was there for one night and loved the room, felt very safe.

The hotel charged us 90EUR for early check-in (we arrived at 7.30am). They didn't tell us about it when I emailed them the day before to ask if it was possible nor when we arrived at the property (they didn't check our ID at that time either). They called the room at noon to say they needed to check our ID and that they were going to charge us a full night for the early check-in. The 90EUR charge was after we talked to them and told them that they should have told us the conditions before the fact. The lady there said she was the owner not the manager so she didn't really know how to do it.

The staff were lovely and helpful and the room clean and comfortable. The location is excellent, quiet and yet not far from attractions. Nice cafes and bars close by.

The property was supremely peaceful, aside from the construction work that commenced at 9am on the last two days. The beds were comfortable and I managed to get 9 hours sleep in one night for the first time in months.
