Barcelona Apartment Republica

DO NOT BOOK - I reserved this place for 1 week, and was unable to make the first night due to a flight delay, as a result they sold the room for the remainder of the week with no such offer of relocation across any of their properties and no refund of any of the nights booked. This is unheard of in the industry and is highly unethical.

Nice apartment fully equipped with all needed appliances. The apartment is very close to the metro station. Small apartment inclusive of small furnished kiitchen, dining table and sofa bed. It also includes a washing machine with hangers.

Avoid at all costs, total rip off. Two beds in a room that sleeps 4 with a pull out sofa. £350 deposit not stated when booking. Place is like a main cell with all the exposed concrete. Only enough bedding for 3 when you booked for 4.

Well located appartment, not too far from everything (beach, sights, groceries etc.). Cleaning ok, and friendly concierge. Nice with small pool and sunloungers on the roof. Our appartment had plenty of room for all 5 of us in the family.

We found the hotel to be in a good, safe location and the room was HUGE (we had a deluxe family room and there were 2 adults and 3 children). The room is open plan-two single beds and a double in one area and a pull out double sofa bed in the kitchen/dining area so might not be suited if you want privacy or need to be able to close doors for noise purposes etc. Beds were comfortable but we were only given one pillow each. Locker closets were clever but we could have used with a couple more hangers (there were two each). Kitchen area was well stocked and handy to have. Two bathrooms, both were clean and had ample large towels to use. No English language channels on the 2 TVs, Internet was a bit slow. Yes, there was street noise but I don't see how that would be avoidable in the city. One of the bathroom sinks wasn't draining well, mentioned to receptionist and it was fixed when we returned to our room. Paid to park at the hotel, would only advise this to those who are confident drivers-the garage is quite difficult to navigate and on the whole we wouldn't rent a car again in Barcelona as driving was very stressful and our car was broken into in a secured garage at the nearby marina. Would definitely stay again, good value for money and the Poblenou neighborhood was lovely.

Nice to have in room laundry but it would be nice to have a set of instructions for use as the make and model was foreign to us
