Barcelona Hotels Gids - appartement hotels in Barcelona, Spanje

We hebben een paar mooie dagen in Barcelona gehad in dit appartement. De ligging van het appartement is ideaal als je midden in de bruisende stad wilt zijn. Gezellige restaurants en café's direct om de hoek. Als je niet teveel luxe verwacht is dit een goede keuze. Het is een net en schoon appartement met goed werkend sanitair. Het is klein maar heeft de basis voor een goed verblijf. De toegang is krap en je moet via een smalle wenteltrap omhoog. Wel een uitdaging voor je kuiten na een dag slenteren. Het personeel is volledig niet geïnteresseerd in je en zal er weinig aan doen om je het gevoel te geven dat je een gast bent. Vraag daarom voor je betaalt alles wat je nodig hebt. Genoeg handdoeken bijvoorbeeld, want ook al beloven ze je schone te brengen dit doen ze niet. Ze gaan er overduidelijk van uit dat je toch niet snel zult terugkomen.

I liked this hotel. It was close to public transportation; it was close to Parc Guel. It was clean and I recommend it.

We chose this apartment for the facility to check-in in place, instead of going to a distant office first; but also for its location. The apartment was a duplex with two rooms upstairs and a sofa-bed for two downstairs, and two bathrooms. It was very pleasant our stay there. The neighborhood was not touristic, but very familiar. In the surroundings we had supermarkets and small restaurants, so we found what we needed easily. It is not in the middle of the touristic spots, but you can reach buses, the metro, or even the tranvia nearby.

We booked three rooms (number 1,2 and 10) and they were all very nice! Very clean, tidy and impressed! Very close to the metro station: Urquinaona, five minutes walk from central (Catalunya) - where you got off the bus from airport. It might be a little bit difficult to find, but it's just two doors away from the bank, Santander! It is on the second floor and feel very secure!

The living area was very smelly on arrival and took about 4 days with the windows constantly open (24/4) for the smell to dissipate. Fortunately it didn't extend to the bedroom. I couldn't identify the source of the smell (not sink or toilet related) and concluded it was probably the result of having been shut up with blinds down for too long (like a fridge left with no power and closed door for months. I was on my own, which was just as well as the hot water heater held enough water for one and a bit showers, so I had to shower first and then shave. But the water was hot and didn't take too long to reheat. You also need to be fit. Carrying two bags up to the fourth floor was breathtaking :-)

The room is big enough, great for a couple ( mirrors on the wall ). Very clean, everybody is very friendly and they helped with all our needs.

Clean, neat and cheap
