Barcelona Apartment Villarroel

Arrived at the apartment to realise that there is no reception on the apartment itself and have to walk to a different building with all my luggages which is 10mins away. Booked an apartment for 5 but only 4 chairs are given. The floor was dusty and one of the bed has sunken in. The hot water for the shower runs out so the last person is left showering in cold. The receptionist was really nice and friendly. Allowing me to check-in slightly earlier and able to store my luggages after checking out. The location of the apartment is pretty good, there's a market close by and the metro is only a few minutes walk away.

The location of the apartment is fantastic and is 15mins walk from la ramblas. All the rooms are decent sized and spotless. The bathroom lights were not all working and the water took 10minutes to get hot and then went ice cold after 2minutes of hot water. The shower tray had a bloackage so the water wouldnt go down the drainage causing a back up and water running all over the bathroom Loose light fitting with wires exposed especially the one above the shower very dangerous and also a loose fitting in the dining room The door to the courtyard was loose so to secure the door properly we used the dining table The policy for the apartment is not accurate and has incorrect information which can potentially cost you a small fortune as they cancel your booking without warning or reason as to why this has happened till you contact them directly and they state something completely different to what their policy says online…becareful

Villarroel Apartment was an excellent accommodation for our group of 4. Everything was as described on the websites. A little bit expensive, but in line with the general prices range for accommodation in Barcelona. Location was great, at 150 m from the nearest underground station, that provides connections to the entire city. Various shops are available also at walking distance, very near of the apartment. The internet connection was excellent, for all our devices (mobile phones & laptops).

The shower didn’t drain. Blankets were stained. Sofa mattress (5th bed) was too hard to sleep on. Iron had huge black burnt mark on it making it inoperable. I could not get a hold of anyone at Villarroel’s office. One time someone who answered from the office hung up on me and another time someone told me that whatever I have in the apartment is all I get and nothing more. Even though it was clean, I would not recommend this apartment to anyone.

The apartment is suitable for a short stay and for those who are not looking for great comfort. The great thing about the apartment is that it has two bathrooms, a large kitchen, a living room and everything else you might need during your visit. You would like to leave the dishes for the dishwasher and washing machine. The biggest disadvantage is that you have to pick up the keys in a completely different place than the apartment. It is mandatory to pay 350 EUR. deposit, it was returned to me the day after I moved out. The location of the apartment is ideal, near the subway, 20 minutes on foot from the railway station (I rented a car). The area is safe.
