Customer feedback
We guarantee that all our feedback is genuine and can only be submitted by people who have booked through our websites.
Mr Daniel Wilde, November 2012: I recommend staying here. For a little more than the price of a hostel I had a bedroom to myself. Using the metro one can get to the central area in 20 or the beach in 30 minutes. Breakfast at the cafe is minimal: a tea or coffee and a croissant (or similar alternative), but the apartment has a fridge so one can fill up back there. 5/5
Sr. viresh fernando, August 2012: The manager was wonderful. The rooms and shared toilets were very clean. I actually stayed at this place for a total of ten days. Though it is located 20 minutes from Place Catalunia (the center of Barcelona action) there were two direct usses, one train till 2 am and anall-night bus so traveling was never an issue. The voucher given for breakfast at a nearby cafe was enoughto buy both my breakfast and lunch!
I would highly recommend it. But make sure you take your own towels as they do notprovide towels. They do sell yu two high-quality towels for 10 Euro.
Viresh Fernando, Lawyer, Toronto 5/5
Mrs Alicja Piekarska- Najbart, August 2011: Apartment where the room was- huge, room comfortable, bathrooms ok, But dark, the room lacked light- window onto ventilation" chimney". But other rooms probably faced the street.
No people in- total freedom.
Situated not in the centre, but in an elegant area - perfectly well communicated with the centre of town by buses, even at night
People that showed us in (from university) spoke hardly any English. 4/5
Mrs Paula Burton, July 2011: Very easy process to book. Excellently dealt with, good contact maintained throughout, thank you, very much appreciated.
Accomodation as expected, excellent value for money and well positioned for Barcelona city.
Will definitely use your service again.
Kind Regards
Paula Burton 5/5
