Residencia Universitaria Resa Barcelona Diagonal

Unfortunately, my experience wasn’t great. The room wasn’t clean, and there was no soap to wash my hands. There were also no slippers — I’ll skip that part, but it added to the discomfort. As for breakfast, I only took some bread and a cookie. Most of the food was cold and not tasty.

The receptionist was aggressive and he was Arabic speaks Spanish he almost wanted to hit me for not paying my staying which it was there mistake, and it turn so violence and he was very aggressive man

The breakfast was limited but found something to eat, would have like to be able to get a coffee before our early morning adventures.

Air conditioning was a a must need during the heat wave that was occurring those days, however, it gave a funky unpleasant odor. The staff said that maintenance would then change the filters. I think it improved, but not greatly. The system, despite being a tiny room, did not cool down well at all. Staff: Front desk is run by students on a 'summer job'. Some are more knowledgeable that others. Those who were knowledgeable were amazing, those who weren't ... it was hard for them to do anything with very simple requests (deer on headlights kind of faces) Rates wise, while I initially was able to get a good rate, once I wanted to stay longer or different dates, rates went up considerably, therefore, made me book an actual hotel, instead of the the dorm. With low(er) rates, I would definitely stay there again.

The breakfast was just acceptable and mainly consisted of bread. It varied over the days though. The staff was quite unattentive, with the majority of them seeming new to the job. Still, things worked out well.

Pretty expensive (I know it’s Barcelona but..) and street noisy outside as soon as traffic starts in the morning.
