Guest Reviews
- Peter (7/5): Tolle Lage aber komplizierter Check-in und der Lift ins Zimmer ist eine Lärmquelle bis spätabends. - Die Lage ist super, das Apartment hat alles, was man braucht. Die Schlüsselübergabe an der in der Buchung angegebenen Adresse hat nicht vor Ort stattgefunden, sondern musste telefonisch über eine nur an der Hauswand neben dem Eingang angeschlagenen Notfalltelefonnummer erfragt werden. Nach anstrengender Anreise also am Gehsteig mit Handy noch Registrierungsdaten (Reisepass) angeben und Touristensteuer online zahlen. Dann bekommt man link zu einer App, die Haustür und Lift ansteuert. Der Lift fährt direkt ins Apartment. Klingt nach Luxus, hat aber den Nachteil, dass man am besten abends der Letzte ist, der heimkommt, da man sonst den Lift recht laut hört. Am Vortag zum Check-out muss man selber den Abfall zwischen 20:00 und 22:00 vor die Haustür auf die Gasse stellen...also Frühstück am besten bereits vorbereiten, damit kein Abfall mehr in der Früh anfällt!

- Roberto Giulio Guido (8/5): Un break a Barcelona è sempre piacevole in qualunque stagione - Pulizia e posizione Blocco dell’ascensore
- Andrzej (8/5): -
- Andrea (7/5): -
- Cheyenne (6/5): Emplacement idéal en plein centre du quartier gotique - Localisation excellente et terrasse agréable Manque quelques accessoires table de nuit, porte manteau. …
Chambre très petite à notre surprise, pourrait être mieux indiquer lors de la réservation
- Valentina (4/5): -
- Caroline (8/5): Gezellig appartement op perfecte locatie net buiten de grootste drukte. - Ligging perfect in het gezellige oude centrum. Mooie sfeervolle kamer met goede bedden. Het zag er netjes uit. De airco leek het te doen maar we kregen de temp niet omlaag. Was veel te warm in het appartement.
Er waren geen extra kussens met sloop. Sommige dingen zoals de handdoekenstang waren stuk en er waren geen andere haken.
- Robert (1/5): Bad experience - The apartment is advertised as being 35 square meters, but it has less than 15.
In response to the owner’s claim that the terrace area is included in the apartment’s total size, we replied with a photo showing bars, a chain, and a padlock on the terrace door — a terrace that clearly hasn’t been used in a long time, and is very small anyway.
Access to the elevator via the app is impossible if you are using your own mobile internet. Guests should be advised to connect to the property’s Wi-Fi immediately, otherwise, like us, they will have to walk up to the sixth floor.
The apartment is in poor condition, with an extremely small shower cabin.
The TV on the wall is actually a monitor — so small that even teletext cannot be read.
All in all, we were misled by the apartment photos compared to what we actually found, as well as by its supposed size. The staff we contacted by phone were also rude!
- DANIELA (7/5): “Unique” if you are willing to sacrifice a bit of comfort - Our room had a very nice terrace that we enjoyed Because we had the terrace, the room itself was very small. And also, it was shown in the pictures but it was quite odd that the elevator went directly in our room and if other guests were using it, it was very loud
- Michal (9/5): Ideal location in El Born! Perfect for a couple. - Amazing location, cozy and decently priced! The bed was two singles pushed together which did become annoying
- Helen (10/5): - Perfect location, in the Gothic quarter. Lots of great restaurants nearby. The keyless entry (link via a phone) to the building and elevator is really straight forward. The apartment was small, with a balcony but perfect for what we needed. It’s equipped with everything we needed for a 3 night stay. Would definitely stay here again due to the location.
- Mark (10/5): - Great location & very quiet. All you need within easy short walk
- Rafa (7/5): -
- Peter Jörg (10/5): - Mitten in der Altstadt. Originell: Fahrstuhl hält im Appartement. Ausreichend Platz für zwei Leute. Manches ist in die Jahre gekommen, aber alles funktionierte.
- Jamie (8/5): Very good -
- Jean-Noel (8/5): - The apartment was minimalist but comfortable and complete. The only thing was the first day, the application used for the access was loosing the connection with the server and stayed in the elevator without knowing what to do, pushing buttons and nothing was working. Finally it resolved itself but was a little bit frustrating. The communication using Expedia and the owner was a little bit confused. Expedia was sending textos about received messages but there was nothing when looking into the application Expedia. Finally received email and all was resolved. The technology is practical but when it fails humans are supposed to be accessible, more important when you are in another country and another language.
- Mara (10/5): Exceptional - Nice!! I liked that it s really modern and technology on point
- Louise (8/5): Fun and good - Location and was what I expected. Could not make the elevator work from downstairs but did work from apartment to downstairs. Had to contact anyone for help.
- Mihai (10/5): Exceptional -
- Celina (2/5): - La propiedades encuentra en una zona insegura que da pavor.solopara para gente que guste del riesgo
- Gavin (9/5): Superb - Perfect location, cosy apartment with easy access and easy checkin The bed was two single mattresses pushed together. It was also slightly noisy but that doesn't bother me
- Pomorisac (10/5): Exceptional - So pleasent, comfortable.. cosy apartment
Great location
- Mark (6/5): Good location, bad correspondence. - The location is good. You enter the property using a link they send you. If you don't have internet access you cant access the room.
I asked if I could have a slightly earlier checking (have the door unlock link active from earlier than the standard 3pm) as I was attending a wedding on the day. I tried to call the property number I was given and it wouldn't connect. I tried the emergency number and it went to an answering machine. I left a msg but no one got back to me.
There was no Wi-Fi code in the apartment so I needed to email the host to ask for the password which I felt was unnecessary. That should have been displayed in the property.
- Bagnall (9/5): Superb -
- Josh (10/5): - Great property really quirky and cute. Had everything we needed. My only gripe would be the lift in to the room. I’m sure it’s safe as all our stuff was fine but it just makes you a little worried, I’ve just never seen direct access to the room from the lift.
- Austin (10/5): - Host was very communicative and accommodating. Property is very centrally located with plenty to do in the area. Only feedback is that the bathroom could use a bit of a deep cleaning.
- Sotomayor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Grace (7/5): a comfortable one room apartment in a superb location - loved the location ... it doesn't get any better than this ... apartment was easy to find and had lots of amenities, great restaurants, etc close by .. safe location ... has beautiful front door and the lift takes you straight into your apartment; great shower; comfortable bed lack of cutlery, plates, etc .. chipped mugs, aircon was loud but so necessary in July; fundamental kitchen and only one room .. couch provided that opened to a bed was inferior quality so surplus to requirements
- Alexandre (2/5): Very disappointed. - The location was very good. We booked via "booking.com" . The room we booked was suppose to be 35sq-meters. When we arrived in the evening we were surprised to find the room to be much smaller and there was no room for a small table with 2 chairs. The next day I wrote to the management that the room is smaller than I ordered. Only on the 3rd day did the management offer the room we should have received . When we moved to the 35sq-meter room the AC was not working. We requested a fan till the AC will be fixed. The management wrote that they will bring us a fan but it never arrived. The AC did not work till we left the room on the 5th day we were very disappointed. We expect a compensation for the size of the room we should have had the first 2 nights and the AC not working the other 2 nights. Even though we were promised a fan it never arrived!!
- Sasa (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location, quiet and clean.
- Olga Lucia (8/5): - Quiet and safe
- moises (10/5): - Todo estuvo muy bien excepto el día que no hubo energía eléctrica, pero creo fue una falla en la compañía de energía eléctrica y lo solucionaron y finalmente todo muy bien
- Marjorie (5/5): Passable - Location was great Confusion over check - and substitute apartment provided.
- Rachael (7/5): Nice apartment in a fantastic location but some concerns about access and security! - Location was fantastic It was quite noisy outside.
Self catering facilities were basic!
Very steep and narrow staircase - difficult to climb with a suitcase when the lift stopped working! Also really odd that the lift door opened directly into individual apartments so a potential security issue when the lift software failed!
- Hamideh (9/5): Generally it was a very good choice. - The location was great. It was cozy and clean. The bed was not a double bed but two single beds put together.
- Simone (8/5): Apart from the fact it was missing a few kitchen basics it was a nice apartment with a superb location. Would book again - Fantastic location! Comfortable bed, nice bathroom and shower. The kitchen was not very well equipped…no sharp knives, no chopping board or tea towels. The windows didn’t quite close but it had good heating…it was warm but probably cost them a lot in electricity to do so.
- Callum (8/5): Very good -
- Clare (10/5): Perfect for me and my daughter! - Our Appartment was such a great location, so close to all the attractions, 3 mins away from Picasso and the Moco Museum! Plenty of choices of places to eat! Room was cute perfect for me and my daughter!! There were a lot of negative reviews about the appartment especially how to get in! But there was nothing simpler, you get an app on your phone n click the icon and your in! I'm not very savy with apps extra but this was really easy i couldnt believe it as i was very worried! But if you have a problem there is a code you can punch in! Also people have been saying you must go elsewhere to check in but it's all done remotely! Easy! The company checked in with us straight away to see If we had settled in OK!! Thanks 😊 I liked everything!!!! But as you go up by lift you enter your room directly! Was worried about that but your lift is just for your room only! So no worries!
- Ana (9/5): Superb -
- Hansolof (4/5): Too expensive, smaller than promised - Too extensive. Much smaller than advertised. Difficult to get in.
- Alison (10/5): Perfect, I felt like a local staying in my Barcelona city pad! ;-) - The apartment was perfect, the decor tasteful, not your usual standard hotel apartment furntiture, thought had gone into furnishing it and keeping with the building style.
Everthing was provided, and location was fantastic. The area was buzzy but the windows were double glazed so when closed it was quiet to sleep.
I will definately stay here again when in Barcelona.
- Diane (9/5): Superb -
- Narelle (10/5): would stay here again It was awesome - location location location
fully equipped
cute and authentic mould in the shower
- Melanie (8/5): - Nervous at night
- Linus (10/5): - everything was rly good, the room was clean, nice place in the city, near to metro and everything worked fine without having to meet someone for a key, the personal was very nice, we had a great expirience
- Yair (8/5): amazing location with great people helping you out. nice place - location, hospitality, great service some little things, the plumbing in the toilet, the kettel didn't work
- Oprea (9/5): Superb -
- Justin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tammi (4/5): - When we arrived, all seemed well. Small space, great location, perfect for 2 people. Within the first day we discovered that the Air Conditioning didn’t work, there was a leak in the bathroom ceiling (which someone had to know about because they left a rag on the sink to absorb water), and a cockroach visited the first night.
The company sent an auto email inquiring about our first day and I reported the issues, but received no response. Prior to our arrival, I received plenty of correspondence to my questions.
The location is ideal, right in the middle of Barri Gotic, but it is quite noisy until 2-3 am - especially when you have to leave the windows open for any air flow or relief from the heat.
Spectacular Empanada place across the street, a tiny pharmacy, as well as ice cream within 150ft of the door. Wifi worked great within the building, but was sometimes tough to connect to when trying to enter the front door (which is needed to open since there are no keys)
Just very frustrating when by the time we left, no one bothered to contact regarding the broken AC, and by the time we left (after 6 days) there were three leaks in the bathroom ceiling. And the night before we left there was a robbery on the street not far from the building - sadly not uncommon where there are lots of tourists.
Glad we visited Barcelona, but would not stay here again.
- Graham (8/5): - It really captured the culture of the local historic area. Transport was very good with the Metro two minutes away.
Overall very pleased we chose it.
- Philip (7/5): good location, but the apartment is small - good location and facilities. drains smelt initially, lift and surrounding area was noisy
- Maximilian (3/5): Room was not what I expected it was dinghy and small. Also felt not safe since no interior lock. - Location in regards to the sites and restaurants. We got robbed at the market while waiting to check in at the coffee shop
- José (8/5): Very good - pretty closed to Metro and city center
- Darren (8/5): Very good -
- Holger (8/5): - There are a lot of pictures on e.g. expedia about this hotel. But none of these were from our room which was less nice than these on the official pictures. The King size bed was a little too small for us and had only one big blanket.
The bathroom was superficially clean but black in the corndes (mould?).
You definetely need a phone with internet access to open the main door and to use the elevator, which opens directly in your room! You get a link to a mobile website where you can open the doors and use the elevator via toggles!
The main door was not easy to open (with a lot of power)!
I got 3 numbers, where only the WhatsApp number worked. The responses of my messages were fast.
We were one hour too early at the location so the mobile website was still locked! I needed to call the reception so the website was unlocked one hour earlier for us which was good!
The location is great if you want to walk around the gothic quarter.
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional - Balcony and rooftop entrance, excellent!
- Atisha (3/5): only location is prime. for the price the apartment is too small - location the apartment is too small compared to the pictures posted. the apartment given to me was different than the pictures posted. The bed sinks in the middle.
- Teddy (10/5): Exceptional - confortable ,clean and the view the property was little small
- Matthew (8/5): - Great location, clean and secure. The shower was ok but the hot water ran out once. Would stay again
- Gabriel (8/5): Overall good experience. - Great location.
taxis, food, bars monuments, markets all
Maybe is the age of the buildings, we had this issue with hand wash flow. Hopefully will be fixed for next guests.
- Kerstin (8/5): - Läget var helt fantastiskt och enkelt att hitta. Rummet var toppen, men det luktade inte så gott från badrummet - det verkar vara fukt eller annan doft (kattpiss?!) där inne. Golvet i pentrydelen var fuktskadat och bolvbrädorna var buckliga så det knappt gick att öppna nödytterdörren. Vi använda inte denna dörr för hissen går rätt upp i lägenheten.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Die Unterkunft hat eine perfekte Lage für alle Unternehmungen und ist dennoch nachts erstaunlich ruhig. Unser Apartment war im fünften Stock, hat circa 32 m² und war sehr geräumig und Sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet .Es gab ein sehr bequemes Bett und ein großes Bad. Der Aufzug führt direkt ins Apartment, dies ist etwas seltsam ,wenn plötzlich die Putzfrau drin steht.Es war alles sehr sauber und alles was man brauchte vorhanden.Die Kommunikation verlief bestens und die Rezeption war sehr hilfreich. Wir konnten das Apartment sogar gleich vormittags beziehen da es glücklicherweise frei war. Insgesamt können wir es uneingeschränkt empfehlen
- Verified traveler (4/5): - When we arrived, we were told that our apartment building had been flooded and that we were being put into a different apartment. This turned out to be a pokey little room, nothing like the picture here, with stains all over the blinds and a hard bed. Our 'balcony' that we were told about as an added bonus to this replacement room was pretty non-existent and we feel like we were on the receiving end of a bad car salesman! We were told to ask the next day if we could be moved, if we didn't like the new room, but when we went back to ask, we were told that everything else they had was booked. We were not offered any discount. One good thing was that the room was very central and easy walking distance to local amenities. I wouldn't recommend this place, unless you are expecting it to be the same quality as a student hostel.
- Mette (10/5): Super service, beliggenhed og rigtig god komfort - Vi var et par med en 14 årig dreng som fik et trippeværelse. Alle senge var gode og komfortable. Badeværelset var lækkert og rent og der var masser af skabsplads.
Servicen i re eptionen var fantastisk, både om natten ved indtjekning og om morgenen hvor vi fik lov til at få opbevaret bagage, mens byen blev besøgt. Der er gode Morgenmads steder 3 min Ca g fra hotellet. Virkelig god oplevelse😀
- Verified traveler (8/5): Esta bien - Es muy pequeño
- Verified traveler (2/5): - ambiente angusto buio una specie di mezzanino con una sorta di finestra carceraria sopra il portone.con questa cifra saremmo potuti andare in hotel
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The space was unique but they were fairly small quarters. Location was excellent, great neighbourhood, close to everything including subway and great restaurants.
It was fairly loud so don't forget your earplugs.
- Yolanda (2/5): Horrible! Staff in main ofc was the only pleasant - The only positive comment was the staff at main office, everything else was awe full. Properties do not look at all what your website post. Property not close to office checking (took us 1 1/2hr hawling our luggage to find), room was dirty, no amenities included (no toilet paper), ceiling lights with no bulbs & hanging expose wires, mold around shower in some areas, lots of clutter around staircases & elevator door ways. Property being book while under construction. Charge per night was robbery. Will not recommend or stay at these properties EVER!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Central location, individual unique apartment for a family of 3.
- Jean Louis (4/5): Déçu - Appartement au 6eme étage , Odeurs de canalisation insupportable , serviettes et taie d’oreillers déchirées
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Staff were very helpful. First room hardly have hot water and heater did not work. Second room given the next day wad much better.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Ok but not without spots - First surprise, the reception was in another building about 500m away. Second surprise, I got a wrong key, entering somebody else's appartment... finally after another trip to the reception (the cleaning woman helped me to put the loggage in the right room so I didn't carry them again) finally I landed in the right one. It loked less good as the other person's... nnyway. The room is a bit smelly after you come back to it and the floor looks about to burst. Otherwise clean and comfy and well, it was quite ok all in all, I could even come back. But I could have lived without the initial adventure...
- Velta (8/5): - Although there was a big problem with the roof leaking and a musty smell, they made it right by changing our room.
- Jean Louis (10/5): Bonne adresse - Pas de lave-vaisselle ni de congélateur
Personnel très agréable
Commodites aux environs
- Jean Louis (10/5): Agréable - Situé dans une rue commerçante pas loin du quartier El Born , a une rue , appartement fonctionnel , pas de congélateur ni de lave-vaisselle
- Verified traveler (2/5): Do Not Stay Here - Our room was not prepared as promised so my family had to split up and stay on separate floors. Elevator was broken. Bathroom was dirty with no soap. We contacted hotel to tell them we were unhappy and had to leave and got not response. We also contacted them when we realized we left our child’s lunch box in the fridge so we could come retrieve it. Again they did not respond. We found a 4 star hotel with pool for the same price range.
- Henry (10/5): Mooi appartement - Het appartement welke wij bezocht hebben was een beetje moeilijk te vinden. Je kunt je auto niet voor de deur parkeren en bent aangewezen op de parkeergarage. Houdt rekening met hoge parkeerkosten. Wij waren 94 euro kwijt voor 2 dagen. Het appartement zelf is voorzien van alle gemakken en is ook nog erg nieuw maar wel met hoge plafonds en de oude deuren en luiken maken het heel sfeervol. Toch deed de tweede dag de TV het niet. Waarschijnlijk had dit te maken met de kabelaansluiting. Wifi deed het wel goed. Appartement is ook heerlijk stil en voorzien van een lift. Zeer apart was de glazen vloer op de begane grond. De receptie zit om de hoek en is maar beperkt open. Wel zeer vriendelijk personeel. Restaurants en winkeltjes zitten op loopafstand evenals de kathedraal. Zeer mooie plek om vanuit hier Barcelona te verkennen. Ook bus en metro vlakbij. Je kunt vlakbij ontbijten bij de bakker om de hoek maar ook een supermarkt is in de buurt voor degene die liever zelf zijn ontbijt klaarmaakt. In het appartement zit ook een keuken inclusief een magnetron, koelkast en broodrooster.
Wij hebben hier twee heerlijke dagen gehad.
- Andy (8/5): - Excellent location, nice apartment, easy to get in and out. Had a great stay there.
- Jean Louis (10/5): Excellent - Bel appartement au cœur del Born , seul bémol le bruit .. mais difficile à Barcelone , mais c’est une rue animée
- Verified traveler (6/5): Avis Picasso - Emplacement de l’appartement parfait mais dans une rue animée et la mauvaise isolation gâche le séjour
il manque des stores occultants aux fenêtres
- Holger (6/5): Top Lage, sehr zentral - Sehr gute Lage. Sauberes Zimmer. Leider war die Matratze etwas durchgelegen. Zu dritt war es eng, aber das hatten wir in Kauf genommen.
Knapp an sehr gut vorbei
- Jean Louis (10/5): - Séjour très agréable , ne pas choisir l’appartement au 6eme étage qui a certes une terrasse mais qui très petit pour un couple .
Les environs sont bruyants mais c’est El Born
- giulio (10/5): giulio - terzo letto un disastro, camera mal odorante
- Jonas (4/5): Rekomenderas ej. - Läget var utomordentlig. Servicen var under all kritik, vi fick upprepa våra önskemål upprepade gånger innan något blev gjort. Lägenheten luktad illa, var vatten skadad och i ett uselt skick. Det var mycket kallt i lägenheten, det fanns ett el batteri som inte fungerade.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Reception staff problems - The taxi took us to the address, which apparently was only for colleccting local fee and gving you the address and key for the room. My wife and I had been traveling acrxoss the US on busineess for several meeting and formal events, then to Europe, so we had two large suitcases and a hang up bag, plus two carry one for our comuters and business papers, etc. We were give the key and a map, and told we had to carry our bags several blooks through Barcelona into the Gothic section and the young men at the receptions, who were sitting behind the counter would not assist. I am in my 70s with high blood pressure and my wife is disabled. They said I should therefore just carry one ag at a time and make five round trips. They desccribed it as a good short walk each way. Finally they offered to call a cab, which charged us 40 Euros --- not such a short trip. But once in the room, which was quite small, but with a modern bath, stone walls and old wood beamed ceiling, we were fine and the location of the room in the Gothic area is very nice.
- Gordon (10/5): Excellent Apartmemt in the Gothic Quarter of Barce - Excellent room, everything you need, shops so close by and can buy your food and essentials such as toiletries etc, very close to your apartment. Right in the heart of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. So much character and history.
- Conleth (8/5): Hidden away - It was a one day trip as part of itinerary, couldn't fault it. Was nice to be 6th floor with terrace
- Neil (4/5): Gothic Quarter Flat - A poor stay. The bed collapsed and I had to sleep on the floor. Very uncomfortable unfortunately.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great location. Nice apartment. Terrible bed - Loved the location. Great space. Everything you need. Very hard bed
- Mara (4/5): - Great location, nothing else good. Started off with person at reception complaining that she didn't even have time to eat. Rollaway bed immediately collapsed so I spent the whole vacation on the floor. Blankets actually had mold on them.... unbelievable. Would never return here.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Ok hotel in great location - Pro
Great location
Con
Cramped room, No closet, terrible smell, checkin will be confusing because rooms are in one location and the reception is in another location
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Good Location ... However not clean and I saw a very big rat and 2 mice in the room.
- CHRISTOS (8/5): Great location in Born - The reception is in a different building 5 minutes away.
There is a nice modern ambience in the room.
The elevator opens directly into the room with your key card (there us only one room on each floor).
There was mold in the shower.
- Phil (6/5): Great location, lots of character. - Small apartment needing some maintenance. We came back one evening to find that some electrical work had happened in the apartment while we were out. We were not informed by the hotel. Had a visit from a mouse during our last night, chewed through our muesli packet. Fantastic area full of bars, restaurants and quirky shops. Overall good value for price.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The appartment is in the center of where it all happens in Barcelona, everything is nearby. The only thing that bothered us, but that's the case in every city regardless the hotel, is the noises during the night. It sometimes cut back a bit on the hours of sleep, but in general we were very pleased with our appartment which had everything we needed and the rest was easily found outside.
- Patti (6/5): Minimal Sleeping - The 325 sq. meter room was basic. The overall cleanliness was not great. The A/C was dirty, walls were smeared and floors were dusty. The bathroom was slightly clean. There were no hooks or any place to hang even a bath towel, let alone clothes. The housekeeping was classified as "limited", but there was none. I requested the first night for extra pillows and a blanket. My request was never fulfilled. The staff at the office are great and overworked. They can not keep up with the volume of clients checking in and out. They also hold, luggage at check out for folks that need somewhere to stash luggage before leaving the city. For 3 nights, I paid $463.00. Very overpriced for what we received. I will not do business with AinB again.
- Rog and Di (10/5): Lovely apartment in the El Born district - We thought was well well positioned and the room was very comfortable. It allowed us to immerse ourselves in the local culture.
The only issue was we were placed in an apartment which was not the one we had booked. And this apartment was not of the standard of the booked one. However we were able to chance to the original room which we both enjoyed very much.
- Julie (10/5): Barcelona hotel - Picked up the key down the street and walked to blocks to our lovely little room w a mini kitchen. Great location.
