Aspasios Born

Was good and good location

This is in a great location for walking to most places and juan on the front desk is lovely. But we booked a standard apartment and it is most definitely not an apartment. It’s one smaller than standard hotel room with a fridge, dishwasher and a sink. The bathroom is directly next to the bed with a frosted glass door that is smaller than the door frame so there’s a nice gap down the side so if you want privacy in the bathroom you will be greatly disappointed. If you open the sliding shower door it also hits the switch and turns the light off in the bathroom. What initially gave me bad vibes was when you get a check in link you are asked to accept terms of the room which include a list of charges e.g 30 odd if any used cups or dishes are not left in the dishwasher, 40 odd if you leave any rubbish even in the bins, you have to dispose of it in a public bin yourself, 300 odd if you hang any clothes out the dry these are just some of them. On arrival at 9pm as we were delayed we were locked out of the building with no one visible on reception, we rang the number on the door an a man answers and simply told us that we had missed check in, which surprisingly there was no opening times for reception on the long list of terms we received. We slipped into the building after another couple exited and I told the man I’m in the building and I’ve paid for a room. He wasn’t happy with this said he would send me two links to pay and he would let me know how to get a key and hung up

Located on the middle of amazing shops, restaurants and cafes and coffee spots! Apartment hosts were incredibly helpful and accommodating. We’re coming back next year!

When we arrived on we went into the reception and the guy’s name was Juan. He wasn’t real friendly but got us all checked in. Said our room wasn’t ready yet, but in about 15 minutes the cleaner came down and said we could go on up. We took our luggage up to the room and decided to go eat. We were gone for a couple of hours. My husband decided to walk around more, and I came back to the apartment. I was going to start unpacking and thought I would turn on the television. That’s when I realized the tv was broken. I called the cleaners in and everyone was surprised by this. Juan said we could move to the room next door but they would have to clean it first. They did, and when we moved over we realized it was a handicapped room. It was smaller than our room, no sofa, and the bathroom was for a handicapped person. By this time Juan was already gone, so we thought we’d just stay the night and move to a regular standard room the next day. Well, that night a mother and her 2 grown daughters came into the other room next to us shouting and screaming at each other for over 2 hours! It sounded like they were in the same room because if there is soundproofing, it’s really bad. The next morning we waited for Juan to get there. He didn’t acknowledge us at first but the cleaner was there who is so nice. He said how was it last night? We began telling him about how loud it was with the ladies next door and this got Juan’s attention. He said I’ll speak with them. And I said good, but we don’t

Excellent property, nice little kitchenette and basic kitchenware + table/drink ware, microwave, stove, refrigerator etc. Our room was spacious with a lovely full wall window. Location is great, with the hotel right on a piazza with plenty of bars and eating options. Metro station, market, Barcelona cathedral, Gothic quarter and Gaudy houses are all minutes away by walk. Staff are courteous. Rules are slightly different compared to a regular hotel, we had to take trash out on the day of check out, and room cleaning happens once in 4 days or so. But that was not a deal breaker for us. We loved our stay.
