Carlos, Texas, USA

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
So... The place didn't look like in pictures, the neighborhood was more or less decent, ugly a little bit since the first thing I saw when I arrived there was 2 prostitutes. Loudly neighbors, I didn't have electricity for half day on a Saturday!! ... When I asked to be change from location or at least a refund they said no due to their "low sales" and now I know why. At least the WiFi was free. I think cheaper cost more when it comes to a trip like this, I won't recommend it and I won't repeat business with them.

This apartment was in a great location and very clean. There is an elevator if you have a disability or to help carry your luggage up to the room. The one downside is that you must check-in at a central location then either carry your luggage take another taxi around a mile to this apartment.

Excellent location, Terrible accommodation
Always judge a stay by would you stay there again , NO !!!!!!!! Aside from the walk from checking into apartment from reception which was 10 minute walk away with suitcases. The apartment is located in nice area, however it is located down dark alleyways that stink of wee and rubbish from local restaurants and cafes. The room itself was ok, hardly any storage however. Felt clean however. The major disappointment for our stay here was on the second night when we were locked out of the main building along with 2 other couples. The key for the main door failed to work, the lock had broke, and therefore no one was able to get into or out of building - a major fire risk. We rang the out of hours office number, she was no help. said we had to locate owner of building to contact his insurance company so that they could send a locksmith, this was at 11pm ? Eventually after waiting 40 minutes with another couple, who has a young child. The father forced the door open and broke the frame work of door. We entered building and reported the next morning to reception. The door was fixed that day. Overall a disappointing stay

Avoid this place at all costs. The location in Borne is good but the apartment is terrible. The apartment is tiny and quite depressing in person. The photographer made the apartment look bigger than it is. This probably was not originally an apartment but likely a room and closet made into an apartment. The bathroom sink is so small it’s hardly useable, water gets spilled all over the floor. The bathroom is way too small and the wall is literally 10 inches in front of the toilet so you have to hold onto something to sit down on the toilet because you can’t balance yourself. The shower sliding door keeps coming off the track and the drain is partially plugged so you have to take short showers or turn the water flow way down so as not to overflow the basin (you will be standing in backed up water while showering). The kitchen is barely equipped (lack of sufficient plates, etc.) and there is no dishwashing machine. The office where you check in is supposed to be an 8 minute walk from the actual apartment but it seemed much longer and the apartment was hard to find since the streets are so narrow and the buildings are relatively tall that the GPS on your phone won’t be able to locate your position.

Interior Apartment was clean wi-fi was terrible
Positives: Overall the apartment was clean, the air conditioner worked well, and the person during check in was friendly and helpful. Cons: My complaints were the WiFi was terrible, it only really worked if I was standing next to the front door. It didn’t work while laying in bed. There were no outlets near the bed so your phone had to charged in the only WiFi spot near the door. The apartment is advertised for 3 but there is no way another person would of fit comfortably in the apartment. I’ve seen a few different listings for the 10 apartments some look to have shelves for clothes the one I stayed in really had no place for unpacking there was a very small closet but with two people staying in the apartment there was no room for unpacking. My last complaint is the entry to the apartment it smelled terrible like sewage or garbage is collected there and kept there for weeks. I covered my nose every time entering or leaving the apartment building.

The most inhospitable stay I've ever experienced
I will assume you have read the reviews from other people who have stayed with this "hotel" and know about the unusual situation of checking in in one location and then lugging your bags to another location. So I will spare that details and simply talk about how inhospitable the whole stay was. I felt like I was in constant FEAR of doing something wrong. First they give you a full list of rules that you must comply with otherwise your deposit of 300 euros will be forfeited. Rules such as taking out TRASH! And cleaning the whole place to the same degree as when you checked in. Who wants to have to clean the morning they have to check out? It felt like the SS would come knocking down on the door if we didn't leave at exactly 11am. Funnily enough, they call themselves SSG. Who wants to feel paranoid throughout their whole stay? This was the worst booking I've ever made.

Noisey and small
The appartment is small and not well designed or appointed. The bedding was hot and pillows too few. Kitchen poorly equipped eg 2 small glassed. No wine glasses. The Born is very noisey. Night tour groups congregate outside the appartment and continued until midnight and later. Not the neighborhood to stay if you wsnt to get awy from the congestion of the streets and get a good nights sleep.

Location over comfort
The location of the apartment was absolutely perfect. Couldn’t get any better!! But the building is so badly sound proofed that one could hear every little movement virtually within the entire building. So if your trying to sleep, it’s very difficult. Saying that, it is a descent apartment...

My stay was really great here! The location was really convenient and the room was super clean. The only thing that I did not like was there was a seafood smell that lingered in the apartment. Have no idea what it was but other than that, it was a great place to stay.

Studio in El Borne
The checkin is very difficult. The office closes at 8 pm and is quite far from the actual studios. The entire neighborhood is primarily cobblestone pedestrian streets that are not accessible by car. Most hotels, apartments, hostels, etc are at least within a couple blocks from a street with taxi/car drop off access. These locations are 6-8 blocks each from street (auto) access and about 1/2 mile apart which is quite difficult with luggage and especially with a rental car. The building smells terribly of sewage and the bed was very uncomfortable .

Extremely smelly entry way!
Its well located! thats it, thats the only good part. The entry way had a few steps leading up to a teeny tiny, 250 kg limit, elevator and once off the elevator were a few more steps. so good luck carrying the luggage up. Cars cannot come up to the hotel, so good luck dragging the luggage too. The street is not smelly and the apt was not smelly, but the journey from the street to the apartment, made me sick every single time, it was like walking up a sewer pipe. we had to hold our breath till we got into the room. The hotel said the smell is something they cannot do anything about. The room itself was ok, the A/C was blowing directly on the bed, the remote was broken. They did not provide us with toiletries, they did not clean the room even once in the 5 nights we stayed. The Refrigerator was a joke, it was leaking out water and making noises through the night. The hotel booked us the taxi to the airport for 40 euros for 4:30 am. the taxi driver showed up, but said it will be 55 euros or he wont go, this is a total rip off. not sure if it was just the taxi guy or the hotel is involved, either way, we will not return.

It won't be your place to stay in Barcelona...
The one room apartment isn't look like it shows. It is too small, depressed and dark for three of us. So if you are looking for a cozy and relax place in Barcelona, if you are couple or travel with your family, it is not your place.

Horrible service and will never go again.
We have a no access to the original apartment because the key is faulty and after 2 hours waiting outside the apartment and 5 phone calls, the lady on the phone offered us an alternative apartment in 25 mins walk when it is 10pm and we have 7 luggages. She said it had elevator but she could not promise that do we have to move again. When we arrived to the another apartment, it is on the 3rd floor without elevator. This is totally unreasonable and unacceptable, so disappointed and we still have to go to the office on the next day to deal with the problem of the key. Nonsense! The person then offer us a refund on the first night, taxi from the second apartment to the original one, late check-out but then none of it was made happen. The person said the problem on the key has happened a lot of times to them but then they still do not have a proper back-up plan to deal with it. Also, they do not keep their words. The apartment itself is small for four person as it contains a sofa bed, when the bed is opened there are no space for the luggages. Also, the walls are old and dust comes out, making everywhere dusty. The elevators are small and does not go to every level, and we have to go up one floor before reaching the elevator. The stairs are narrow and difficult for a bigger size person to move a luggage.
