Barcelona Apartment Val

We had a great stay here and loved the gorgeous tile flooring! The beds, pillows and towels were wonderful, as was the kitchen. It had everything we needed.

Nice place, but our room did not come with many plates or dishes to use for cooking, but everything else was good. Also lots of stairs to get up, so be aware

We had an okay stay here. The location is great and the apartment is well designed and laid-out. However, the check-in process was confusing. We checked-in online via their portal, giving all our details and pre-authorizing a card, but we still had to go through a manual check-in process at their reception (which is at their parent hotel across the road). What was the point of the online check-in portal? The reception proceeded to take a 250 euro deposit using a card machine, despite the check-in email saying it would be only 150 euros, without really explaining what was happening. Even 150 euros felt steep given the total cost of our 1-night stay. The deposit was refunded swiftly after our stay, though. We also struggled at night with the stiffness of the beds and the noise from the street below. Overall, the location is good but we would opt for a different option next time.

I read quite a few reviews after booking and I’ll admit — some of them worried me. But in the end, you simply need to know what to expect. The location is unbeatable. I walked almost all of Barcelona on foot — at least all the major sights — and honestly, this is one of the best and most convenient areas you can stay in. Our suite was truly lovely: spacious, comfortable, and full of character. Yes, it’s not the cleanest or most perfectly maintained room I’ve ever stayed in. But I’ve also never stayed in such an old, well-preserved historic building before. And that’s the charm: the original mosaic floors, the wooden window frames, the traditional doors, the high ceilings… you can feel the history of what must have once been a well-to-do Barcelona home. Everything is old, naturally — but it’s authentic, and that alone makes the experience special. And honestly, for the location and the historical value of the building, I think the price we paid was more than fair. In fact, it could easily be more expensive for what it offers. If you expect a flawless, modern hotel, this isn’t it. If you appreciate character, history and location, you’ll love it.
