My friend and I were only in Barcelona for a couple days, so didn't really need a full service apartment. But this property was less expensive than the hotels we reviewed. Our apartment was clean, very spacious -- which was really nice after a lot of tiny hotel rooms with even tinier bathrooms -- and had a lovely "local" view of other dwellings which made us feel like we were really living there. The front desk staff were wonderful to us, warm and professional. It was an inexpensive cab fare to/fro Barcelona Sants train station and an easy walk to a lot of sights. (Bus service was a bit trickier for us to get a handle of, but a metro station is closeby the hotel.) The kitchen was fully stocked with wares for cooking and serving. Next time, we'll stay longer and really settle in!

VERY VERY nice rooms, good service, a bit of a mix up with our room - but absolutely no problem!
The location was good, but no taxis, or even the police knew where the hotel was. We actually got lost and nearly missed our flight because the taxi driver didn't know where our hotel was!

We were slightly concerned about the location of this hotel to various historical sights, but once we arrived, we were proven wrong. We were walking distance to many places -- Arc de Triomf, Sagrada Familia, Placa Catalunya, La Rambla, Barri Gotic,vPicasso Museum and the Harbor. Granted, it took 15-20 minutes to walk to some of these places, but the walk was beautiful. We walked through different neighborhoods which gave us a better feel for what Barcelona is really like. It was also close to a metro station which was great.

As for the hotel, you get what you pay for. The staff was very nice and the rooms were fine -- good enough to get the job done. My bed was sloped and the towels weren't always clean, but that was all surpassed by the fact that we were in a great neighborhood, not too far from the hustle and bustle, but far enough.

My husband and I stayed in this apartment-hotel for four days while exploring Barcelona: we hardly had to take public transportation since everything we wanted to see from the beaches of Barceloneta to the museums on Montjuic were in reach (assuming you like to walk). As it happened we didn't really need all the space--two bedrooms, dining room, kitchen, and living room--since we spent little time in the hotel and ate out but if you are a family looking for convenient location and the possibility of eating some meals "at home" this is a good deal for the price. It would have been nice if the bathroom provided more towels and better quality toiletries.
