Apartemen di Catalonia, Spanyol

I had high hopes for this ”4star hotel” From the pictures and the previous reviews everything seemed like it was too good to be true... Arrival was average, had to ask which way to go to get to my allocated room (normally you are directed by a member of reception atleast) Arrived at my room (104) 1st floor. Opened the door to a bright airy room..my first thoughts were this is lovely. Dropped my bags and took a shower and that's where things started to go downhill...let me explain... Now I am aware this is not 5 star but if im being totally honest I have stayed in cleaner 2 star hotels... The attention to detail from the cleaners is just way below par for a 4 star establishment. Shower door covered in limescale (easy to put right with a bit of Elbow grease) Mold and nasties around the outer edge of the shower door (see pics) Splash marks all over the tiles at the side of the sink (like old toothpaste marks) Sink wouldn't drain properly (seemed to be blocked) Skirting boards definitely hadn't been given a wipe for a good few weeks/months All standard/basic stuff that you would expect from any hotel and certainly from a 4 star one or am I being picky? Then there was the call to reception to ask for some milk so I could make a coffee (kettle is provided in room) Receptionist said they don't have fresh milk only 'powdered sachets' of the most vile tasting milk I've ever had (think baby milk/gone off normal milk) Apparently the restaurant was closed so they could not access it to get some fresh milk? Receptionist advised me to go to the supermarket..which is a 25 minute walk from the hotel 🤦♀️ As it happens there is a coffee machine outside the reception entrance so I found myself nipping downstairs to buy one from there. (Not the most convenient but we move forward) I had read that there was a rooftop restaurant in the flyer as advertised but when I asked about it apparently it is no longer there? The restaurant is only open at breakfast times so no food is available not even snacks? However they advertise room service so unsure how that works? Outdoor pools closed which is fine but you couldn't even sit on the loungers hence....nowhere to sit outside the hotel itself. Such a shame that all these little things build and in turn let it down as a 4 star advertised hotel. Now for the positives... The view from the room of the sea is beautiful It is literally across the road from miles of sandy beaches There are a couple of lovely restaurants nearby that are open from 12 noon for brunch/dinner and reasonably priced. The area itself is super quiet and feels safe enough as a solo traveller.

Good location (near Sagrada familia), room was clean and staffs were nice but too noisy during the night time and always had too much food smell everywhere. Most importantly they said they have washing machine in the apartment but there wasn’t.

Location was good, near to 2 metro lines that brings us to city center. Rooms were ok too but there was a very annoying beeping noise coming from the toilet non stop. Feedback to the whatsapp helpline, and they sent maintenance guy the next day, who came, and switched off the aircon, saying that the noise came from that. So instead of fixing the unit, they expected us to do without heater. Quite ridiculous coz the weather was still cold at night. They told us to close the toilet door, but still can hear it. We stayed for 4 nites, and it was not resolved. The free washer/dryer at block A was very dirty, so dont pin your hopes on that. There is a coin laundromat just 2 mins away. Last thing, I have informed prior to arrival that we will reach early, few hours before check in time, and asked for storage options. They told us it is available but there is a fee to it, so we didnt thought to use it. On the day we arrived, have text the whatsapp for access code, but room was not ready so we waited outside the building for more than an hour. By the time we enter the building, realised that the storage system was actually free. The staff could have told us it was free, so we can put our luggage into storage and continue with the day, but instead we were left to wait for more than an hour for the room to be ready.

The location is very convenient, 5 minutes by walk from metro station Navas, which goes directly to the city center (around 10 minutes) Residental neighborhood, quiet and safe building with a coin laundry next door and a snack vending machine Rooms well equipped with amenities (soap, shampoo and shower gel, hair dryer), working space with an outlet, a nice touch with a coffee machine (coffee and tea provided) and a goodies gift 😊 Clean and modern hallways, spotless clean room with a nice balcony overlooking the courtyard, lots of common spaces for coworking indoor and outdoor A 24/7 small convenience store nearby Great for both short and long term stay, it has everything you need

One of the best apartments I’ve stayed at for the price, extremely close to the metro to get into town and only a 10 minute bus journey from the airport

I stayed at Aparthotel Rambla 108 for five nights, and it was a fantastic experience. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of La Rambla, making it super convenient to explore all the nearby attractions. The staff were incredibly friendly and responsive, quickly handling any requests we had. Our one-bedroom apartment was clean and well-equipped, with a kitchen that had everything we needed. There was a faint sound of the train passing by, but it wasn’t bothersome at all. My family and I were thoroughly impressed and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and central stay in Barcelona.
