Needed repainting decor looked tired. Needed some soft furnishings as decor really basic. Only one mirror in the apartment and that was in the bathroom . Potential to be a beautiful apartment but needs TLC. Definitely not an 8.4 rating as in booking.com.

Very clean and liked the location

Barcelona Guest Apartments met my expectations in every way. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the high level of service and the quality of the accommodations. The apartment was clean but also well-equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, situated in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore all that Barcelona has to offer. The staff was friendly. I had a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend Barcelona Guest Apartments to anyone looking for an affordable place to stay in this beautiful city.

The apartment was very little like the pictures that sold it to us . If i knew what our apartment really was i would not have booked it! Dining room was awful and we didn't use it. The kitchen was very run down and sparse. Considering the cost of the rent there was nothing. No toilet roll. Coffee machine but no coffee pods to use in it. 2nd bedroom looked like a prison cell and when we opened its window the view was awful. Most of the ceiling light fitting looked insecure. The owner was judgemental and not at all welcoming. I would have complained to her but felt she was unapproachable and we didn't trust her. I have used Booking.com for all our holidays but now question their vetting process. I'm hoping to get a call from this review? Just hoping. We feel we have been misled.

Location. That's all.

The worst host ever, we came and she was looking at us like things that are there only to give her money, no hello no goodbye, dont know how to speak and doesnt deserve to take money with this attitude. Worst experience ever.

Only location.

The host was extremely rude and didn't even show up on arrival. She asked us to leave on the first morning due to complaints from the neighbors but we weren't even home.

The rooms

Stayed in August 2023

I cannot recommend this apartment highly enough. it is surrounded by excellent bars, restaurants and supermarkets. Its a 15 minute walk to La Rambla and Casa Battlo and 20 minutes from La Pedrera. We walked to Sagrida Familia which took 30 minutes. I thought that we should be closer to La Rambla but we didnt need to be, as everything we needed was on our doorstep. The team were extremely helpful and welcoming and also looked after our luggage on the last day, which was a massive bonus. The apartment was excellent, lots of space and comfy beds. The AC was welcome as it was so hot whilst we were there. The lift was old and quaint which made for an exciting trip up to the 5th floor. We will definitely be back next year, if not sooner, many thanks.

Rooms are a bit dark, no shampoo/conditioner/body wash, they require a $200 cash deposit for damage which is returned at check out but they did ask about the receipt which I'd thrown away. My deposit was still returned and it wasn't made a big deal.

Location was nice at the garden/green strip with the benches but wasn't central orclose to beach, clean apartment, roomy with most needs (washer, AC, detergent, clothes drying rack).

Only one bathroom for 4 people - wish there was one extra toilet

Good location, clean, good equipment in the house, comfortable bed

The property had character but it was pretty run down. The air conditioning was only in the living room. No toiletries and the sheets and towels were very rough.

Location was great

The staff were not very well informed about the area. Simple things like where the closest supermarkets were unknowns. Only when we were about to leave did we see a very well stocked Lidl store 2 minutes from the apartment Anna, at reception, tried her best to help. She was pleasant. What we disliked and what was completely unnecessary was the landladys rude attitude. We were guests, paying good money for the privilege, and we were treated with suspicion and unfriendliness. From coming to check the apartment on check out without warning and telling us off about an open door while air con was on, to refusing to give me back my 200 euro cash deposit if I did not present my original receipt for this payment. I had taken a photo of the receipt and posted it on our mutual whatsapp conversation just in case it was needed. This was not enough proof that it was me who had paid, she said. Who else would have paid for the apartment I clearly checked into ??? Anna could have confirmed it was me, but she was not there even though i sent her a message about this need for proof. So, had I not located the original paper receipt, I would have forfeited my deposit! She said this is standard practice! Never in all my travels have I ever had to produce paper proof of a payment It really marred our last few hours in Barcelona and was just so unprofessional. Booking.com pls confirm that this is standard practice - to need to provide original receipt?

It was a lovely spacious apartment, beautifully decorated- light and airy. Quite close to Metro They supplied shampoo and bodywash when we enquired, which was nice considering they said they don't supply essentials. They also allowed us to check in earlier.

There was very little I didn't like!

The apartment was really spacious and in a wonderful location - 20 minutes walk to all the main centres of Barcelona including the Gothic Quarter and the likes of George Orwell Square. There are gorgeous cafes right on the apartments doorsteps which we frequented regularly. The host was super accommodating, allowing us to check in early on the day that we arrived. The apartment was really spacious and had all the amenities one could hope for including sitting room with very comfy couch, aircon in the living room, comfy beds, fridge, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer and a hob. I would absolutely stay again.

The historic elevator is beautiful and quaint. Loved it, except if someone neglected to fully close the door on another level, the elevator doesn't work, and you have to walk to the floor you want (luckily only 5 floors total), or you have to run to each level and figure out which door is slightly ajar, then take the elevator to the level where you left your luggage :).

Using WhatsApp, I was able to communicate with the hosts and let them know when to expect us. They provided clear instruction on how to meet up with the host. Throughout the stay, they responded quickly to any questions and requests (via WhatsApp), even though it is not physically manned/attended all the time. The apartment was bigger than we expected, with a washer/utility room, 2 bedrooms, living room, dining room, kitchen, a room with a toilet, separated from the bathtub/shower & sink (which was handy with 3 people). It had everything we needed, and was only 2 blocks away from the Aerobus, and walkable to any metro/bus stop. Safe, eclectic neighborhood.

Host was not very polite and very irate. Tried to overcharge me tourism tax until I proved her wrong. Wasn’t very welcoming in greeting in passing or at checkout. Lift to apartment floor is very old and authentic but took time to get up and down. Bedrooms were tiny, not much space around bed. Shower doors broken / not attached to hinges properly so created wet floor constantly. Lack of plug sockets in bedrooms.

Location decent. Apartment as pictured, spacious communal areas. Beds comfortable for sleep.
