Le Palacete Powered by Sonder

Love the spaciousness. We enjoyed spending time on the patio with our grandson. We were pleasantly surprised that breakfast was offered each morning. The bathroom is the largest we’ve seen in Barcelona. It’s just a great place for us to stay with lots of attractions nearby. It’s our first choice to stay every time we go to Barcelona.

I pre-booked Le Palacete for one night in anticipation of our visit to Barcelona for a day. I had no prior knowledge about the company Sonder, but I downloaded their app in order to complete the check-in process. You have to submit IDs for each guests that will be staying at the property so be prepared to have proper documents and take a selfie to upload to Sonder. After that just follow the instructions listed. Pro: Spacious, clean, and located in a secure building. Close to restaurants and attractions all within walking distance (close to Park Güell) Basic amenities provided and there's a water cooler in the lobby. Con: Prior damages to certain areas of our room e.g. cracked floor, loose and broken drawer handle; also had an issue when trying to return the key back inside the lockbox but luckily an employee came to take the key back for us (or you'd have to pay a fee for non-return). Overall it was a decent stay and I'm curious to check out other Sonder locations in my future trips.

The property location is fabulous in the heart of Gracia. Restaurants & coffee options are plentiful (especially Don Teo! just down the block). The property is super secure which was comforting. However- there were two larger issues: 1) there was an obvious maintenance issue where a moveable wall was completely off its tracks, and had been that way for some time. I notified Sonder and they did have it promptly addressed (a 3 hour job). 2) the other issue is that the property is not at all soundproofed. Everything that happens in the neighboring room can be heard loud & clear.. 3) minor, but wall was banged up & carpet stained In general- property was nicely located and I do very much like Sonder’s business model. Will definitely consider their ‘soundproofed’ options for future travels.

The staff here was excellent. Everyone was friendly and inviting and was there to help with my many wants.(towels, toilet paper, where to eat, safe places within walking distance), even what to do when you lose your key. The unit was clean quite and walking distance to many points of interest. I would recommend staying here if you visit Spain

It was a huge room with historical feel but nicely updated. courtyard and dining area was also nice. Convenient location but quiet from the street noise. Only thing was running out of toilet paper and tv remote run out of battery. We really enjoyed it. Thank you!

Amazing place, friendly and accommodating staff. We enjoyed our stay and we would visit again.

Online check-in introduced unnecessary difficulties. Lights (and electricity) did not work. I learned after I booked - paid for and confirmed - my stay that there was a mandatory online check in process. At that point, I was already in Spain. That process required confirming my phone number. I had left my primary phone in a repair store in the US - I could not confirm that phone number. I brought a cheap american phone to Spain for WiFi, but even after buying a pre-paid spanish SIM card, I could not text to confirm that number either (apparently spanish and american texts are on different bands). This was resolved by emailing the reservation email from a previous hotel wifi, but was sort of terrifying, and took a lot of time / worry. When I got to le palecete and used the keycafe check-in locker, I got a keyfob without a card. I tried emailing from the lobby wifi, and that did not get a response in the thirty minutes while i downloaded skype to call. They were very helpful on the phone in getting me another keycard, and I got into the apartment. Once I got into the apartment, none of the lights nor sockets worked. The breaker panel was open - so someone else had had this problem before, but flipping the switches did nothing. I was out of battery/power to call again, and just went to sleep. There were no checkout instructions. The room itself was beautiful, in a perfect location, walkable from everything.

Great place. Location was quiet but central.
