ME AND MY DAUGHTER STAYED HERE FOR 3 NIGHTS ON 13/MAY 2024,YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE BUZZER OUTSIDE TO GET INITIAL ACCESS AND A CODE FOR THE AUTOMATED MACHINE TO CHECK YOU IN, VERY SIMPLE 5 MINS WHICH CREATES YOU A ROOM CARD, LOVELY ROOM,VERY CLEAN,NICE TOWLES AND A CRACKING SHOWER, 20 MINS WALK TO FAMILIA SAGRADA,3O MINS TO BEACH,GREAT LOACAL CAFE AND BARS, WOULD RECOMMEND AND DEFFO USE AGAIN !!

Once we gained access, we were satisfied with the accommodation. It is in a good location. about 20 minutes' walk from Sagrada Familia and close to metro stations. There are two bedrooms, a good bathroom and a fairly spacious sitting-cum-dining area with a small balcony. Also a kitchen area with fridge etc. The access problem was caused by a fierce machine in the hallway which demanded all sorts of quite unnecessary details before it would yield up a keycard. In the end, we had to ring an emergency number to obtain a temporary one.

Fabulous! It is a bit of a walk from las ramblas etc (approx 45 mins) but staff are great. We we’re concerned as a woman came in our room twice using a key looking for ‘Jordan’ so we locked the door from the inside and the young man on reception gave us a new Set of keys. The room is very clean, and fairly Modern. I would say that the beds are very hard so we did struggle sleeping on them. Kettle was in the room and a hairdryer too and a bottle of water. There’s a few shops and bakeries locally too. The Syrian restaurant approx 100 metres away I would highly recommend too. The food is fantastic and we Used them several times and brought the food back to the apartment. Taxi from the air port was €43 and returning early morning was €34 and we hailed One very quickly. I would stay here again!

I got to the hotel at 11pm and was given a temporary key to check in. My key expired in the morning so I came down to the reception, in the morning, to get another key. There was no one at the reception and now I could not get back in to my room. I contacted the intercom and was told that someone will be able to let me in in 3 hours time, so I was locked out of my room for the next 3 hours and I needed to be in the room! So, i was paying for a room that I could not even use. I managed to get access eventually, but this was very frustrating as I was only at the hotel for 2 nights and I lost a lot of access to the room because no staff were available to help. I have tried to contact the hotel for a partial refund but they are not happy with that idea.

The apartments are in a great location with a main station across the road. It is about a 25 minute walk to the marina but easy enough to get to everywhere by metro. The Balcony is nice and it is very peaceful all the time. The shower and bathroom are very nice. The place is very spacious, enough for a family but the only downfall was that the beds weren't very comfortable. Besides this, the apartments tick all the boxes.

Our apartments were booked through a Hen Company but were provided with 3 rooms (2 x 4 Person (Rooms 1.2 & 4.2) & 1 x 3 Person (Room 1.1)) Room 1.2 had a huge balcony as it was effectivly a ground floor apartment at the back of the building The booking.com pictures don't do this place justice. Don't get me wrong its not 5 star but I was half dreading going to the apartments but they were exactly what we needed. The rooms are simple but spacious. There were 8 of us in total using the rooms. The 4 person rooms had a double bedroom and a twin room, the 3 person room was a double bedroom and a single bedroom. Kitchen was small but useable. Large Fridge and multiple cupboards. Basics in utensils and crockery. We only used the fridge and the kettle. The coffee cups are TINY, almost thimble sized. There were no toiletries provided apart from toilet roll and handsoap. Towels were provided, hair dryer & bed linen. There is no safe. To get in the building you'll need to ring the bell on the wall and they'll buzz you in. To check in you'll need your reference number and check in via a computer in the hall way. During the check in they'll ask for 9.92Euros per person or per couple. Plus some personal details and passport/id scan. Once completed you'll get your room key and can find your room. To check out leave you key in the box. If you use the phone by the computer you can contact support and they'll put your bags somewhere safe for you. So you can still travel and see the city until your departure. its about a 15 min walk to Sagarda Famillia. We used Taxi's a lot during our stay and generally managed to flag one down within a few mins of leaving the apartment.
