Everything about our stay was great! The flat was very clean, spacious and well equipped! the location is perfect, and Xavier was extremely helpful and nice and answered all our queries! It was our first stay at BCN Rambla Catalunya apartments, but it surely won’t be our last!

Terrible showers and loud washer. Showers are 2’ by 2’ measured with photo to prove it. Can’t raise my arms to wash my head due to shelving. Super slippery one of our party fell. The washer is industrial LOUD. do not run at night or if in kitchen.

Location excellent. AC works and has a washer.

In the process of booking the apartment, you don’t really know which apartment exactly are you going to get, there is a lot of photos of different apartments of the same establishment, and to be honest, the photos look a lot better than the apartment itself, when we saw it in live. Our apartment specifically was smaller than we expected. Truth to be told, the entrance to the apartment is quite ugly and old, there are actual holes in the floor and tiling is a disaster. Living room is old but nicely decorated and rooms are ok, although one room was a bit small, but that is ok. Toilets are renovated I guess, and they look nice. Unfortunately I expected more in general.

Location is amazing. Apartment was really clean, bed was comfortable and sheets were smelling nice and fresh. Apartment is well equipped, so you don’t even need to bring your toothbrush and toothpaste. Staff is ok and communication was solid. Apartment in general is old, but the effort is invested to make it look “vintage cute”.

Noise, lack of insulation and disregard for quiet hours that management does have in place.

Good Location, nearby restaurants but up from old town area that is much busier. Beds comfortable, Bathrooms updated and had good water pressure. Building had lift. The building is older though apartments update the insulation has not been. Recommend carpets perhaps as Quiets Hours are not really respected by others Management did offer a bit of compensation to us for the noisy neighbors during our stay….

The host, 1) keep threatening me that will deduct deposit if the apartment was not left tidy. 2) asked for towel a day before but that took forever, eventually I have to walk from my building to the other building were reception is and collect the fresh towels myself.

Location was great and big size rooms.

The shower was so small that we couldn’t even turn our body without touching the shower door or faucet. For reference, we are not big individuals at all. My 10-yr old boy had trouble showering because it’s that small!

The location was great!

Because of the prime location and bars in the vicinity it was very loud throughout the night and into the morning. The sound of boisterous laughter, loud conversations, glass bottles clanking while being dumped into the bins constantly throughout the night was insesant. To end it all, the restocking truck arrives at nearly 4am unloading what seems like endless kegs of beer, cases of wine and other beverages as well as limitless amounts of various supplies to all the shops in the vicinity. Don't expect to get soundless sleep.

The apartment was conveniently within walking distance of several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, plenty of dining, shopping and grocery needs. Our flat was situated in the corner of an intersection with nice views from the balcony.

No one was there to meet us. Parking was inconvenient. Then they had an elaborate system by which to enter one building to gain access to a lock box to access the apartment in another building. The facilities were not as advertised. No sofa bed was made up and the room smelt mouldy and dusty. We would not recommend this property.

Nothing. The property was not suitable and we made this clear at the time. They were not available to help with the problems we faced.

Too noisy Old furniture, not easy to close the windows.

The reception keep emailing & messaging me for early payment with online check in and charged a very large cleaning fee Also required a $500 Euro bond on the credit card. Also gave us the wrong information about storing luggage after checking out on a Sunday as the downstairs concierge we found to be closed on the weekend. It took several phone calls to discover the reception was open on the 3rd floor and could take our luggage. The security safe was locked and unusable

The old fashioned style of the apartment, everything worked well

Stayed in June 2023

Reassigned apt from 103 building to another without asking. Checkin times not as advertised. Leave earlier. Insufficient staff. 2 towels for 5 day and one set of paper towels insufficient. Kitchen not well stocked. Not enough garage bags as expect you to clean and empty garbage yourself. No instructions on how to use kitchen appliances or Tv. Hallways poorly lighted.

Location. Helpfulness of Janice.

very small apartment. Bedrooms are very tiny, unable to open suitcases and move in side the room. missing basic amenities.

centrally located, walkable to all major touristic spots and restaurants

The first apartment (called Vintage) was tiny and not at all like the one we had seen advertised. When we asked if there was another apt we were told no they were fully booked and said that Booking.com was the culprit as they use different photos. There is a bottle bank right below the window so even with windows and doors shut you could hear the smashing of glass regularly day and night! At about 12 am on our first night a gang of teens gathered in the lobby screaming and laughing-they then moved the party to the apt next to ours. Despite calling the help number we got no support in fact we were told that apt was empty! Obviously we got no sleep until the noise died down in the early hours of morning. In the morning we called Booking.com and they contacted the manager-first she said there were no complaints in that building and that they had a "mechanical device" which would alert them to high noise levels. Luckily we had recorded the noise outside the apt so when we sent the recording they agreed to move us to the apt we had originally booked which was in an adjacent building, the manager who arranged this was a different one from whom we dealt with initially and we found her to be really understanding and helpful. The new apartment was very nice and we enjoyed the rest of our stay. Kind Regards, Rhonda Latif

We notified hosts of late arrival at 10.30pm and instructions were sent to us but they didn't make it clear that the apartment was at 103, not 101 which led to some confusion. Entry instructions to get through street door were confusing.

Great central location but noisy. Good comms and swift return of deposit. Good size main bedroom with en suite, second bedroom was fine for one person. Two bathrooms for a two bed apartment was a bonus

Street noise. Lack of basic amenities like dish washing sponge and soap, rack for drying crockery, laundry detergent.

We waited 2 hours for room. They kept changing the time.Were charged E40.00 extra dollars for our private taxi E220.00 they said he couldn't wait past 1pm. The taxi driver said he only waited 30 minutes and I told them arrival @ 10 am go through customs, get luggage should be ready by 12noon. The checkin and Apts building are different . You only get one key for the main doors which were very heavy and oy 1 side opened. And you had to literally step over a 12 inch step while trying to lift your luggage AND open the large heavy wood door. The location was great but noisy.

Location was great !! Staff kept in constant touch with us till as we had asked for early check in and to be picked up at the airport at 12noon ( arriving @10am).

More towels, a dryer would have been nice, dish soap, dish towel, soap for the washer would all have been nice. It just seemed cheap with those items missing.

Location was great, apartment was a good size.

In the first apartment: bad insonorisation with other apartments, noisy at night sometimes very loud noise at around 2 or 3:00am, and also noisy in the morning around 5:00am. Size of the plates too big to fit the the dishwasher. In the second apartment: table pattern is very exquisite, wrought iron all around the dining table until floor, which does not allow to sit normally, since the knees cannot pass under the table. Air conditionning/heating was an old model and noisy. When sofa-bed is open in the living room, space is quite reduced.

Good situation to visit the city, 5mn to metro. Nice and efficient reception staff. First apartment, the living room was very spacious and lightful. Air conditionning/heating system efficient and modern. The second apartment had a nice terrace overlooking the Rambla Catalunya.
