Very hard to find this place! Paid $75euro to get here! But location is perfect! Bed was like sleeping on wood. Kitchen amenities were fine. Building was old and interesting. It's very noisy at night so bring ear plugs.Great aircon . I would definitely not stay here again!
Good central location, bathroom had a broken toilet seat, a bit of mold in the shower. The bed in the living room was just a futon, not very comfortable.

We really liked the rooms, so quaint. You could easily walk to many stores and restaurants. You could also walk to Catedral de la Santa Creu (cathedral). It is a little hard to find because there are multiple small alley ways. Possibly add the name of the coffee shop and tattoo shop near by for assistance. Also, we had to call to get our booking number to check in via the kiosk. It was not on our Expedia confirmation, possibly that can be updated. We really enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

The checkin instructions said we could check in at a different property early. When we arrived at the other location, they said they did not do business with our hotel. That was confusing and wasted our time and cost me an additional taxi.
After we arrived at the actual hotel, checking in with was very easy, and the accommodations were very nice.
It would have been nice to have coffee with the coffee maker. Pleas leave a few pods for the guests.

This property is in an excellent location and the rooms are clean although a quite unusual. Some do not have windows to the outside. We had five rooms for two nights and would have had an excellent stay except for the following.
The morning after we checked in a staff member entered our room unannounced and uninvited. He awoke my niece, who was asleep and alone in the apartment. He demanded payment for what we had already paid for, telling her that if she did not immediately pay she would have to leave the room. He then took her cell phone and disappeared down the hallway. You can imagine her fright and concern to have a man come into her room, wake her up, take her phone, and demand money.
I ended up leaving the tour of Parc Guell that I had arranged with the rest of my family to meet personally with the staff member and solve the problem. He insisted that I make the additional payment or we would have to leave. He continued to insist even after I called the bank and confirmed that the payment had been taken. The following day the duplicate payment was refunded with an apology. But the fright caused to my niece, not to mention the disappointment at missing the tour of Parc Guell tour, are entirely inexcusable.
I understand that the individual involved is no longer in the employ of Apartments Ciutat Vella. I also understand that Apartments Ciutat Vella is no longer affiliated with Hotel Ciutat de Barcelona as mentioned in the check-in instructions.

Definitely misrepresented!
This place was not even close to expectations. I have no idea where the photo they took came from, but this place was not even close to the photos. I understand that the location was great and that it's located in the Gothic Quarter, but it was like it wasn't even updated from that century. There is daily cleaning service, we had to remove the garbage ourselves daily. New towels were not provided unless we asked (assuming we could catch the cleaning lady that only cleans units that vacate that day). The place itself is in a very sketchy alley. The walls are so thin, we can hear every neighbor that came in at all hours of the night and all the random screaming was beyond unnerving. Considering we stayed at different places all over Italy for 3 weeks, this was the most expensive and least comfortable place we stayed the entire time.

Barcelona terrible check-in
The issue was with check in. I blame Hotels . Com. The insructions were wrong. It was saying to go to soe other hotel after 2pm which will assist with check in. We arrived at 8pm . And found locked door. When we checked the insruction , it said to go to another place (20 min walk) for check in. When I got to the place it was closed for renovations for last 3 days. Thanks for the neigboring business which provided me with wifi and assisted to call the number mentioned for the hotel, I was able to call an the lady told me that she will return a call. The call was returned in a half hour -15 min and they explained that we just need to push a button on the appatment building enterance and do electronic check in inside. I am just wondering why we did no get the instruction from the property by e-mail or on Hotels.com app. I lost 1.5 hour of my time and had a stress which was useless

NO VALE EL PRECIO. MALO PARA FAMILIAS.
No recomendable para familias. En el mensaje de check in indicaba q luego d elas 14.30 habia q ir a otra propiedad al pedir elnacceso, la cual quedaba como a 25 minutos caminando. Al llegar nos dicen q ya no trabajan con ellos. Regresamos y en el acceso automático nos indican q no habia nada pagado, aún cuando todo estaba pagado en hotels.com. Ennla necesidad de habitación pgamos nuevamente, auqnue despues nos dicen q si estaba pagado y luego de varios
intentos df comunicación y dificultad de comunicación logramos q no anularan el
cobro. Peronpasamos dos días sin es disponibilidad en la tarjeta. Luego el edificio muy viejo, la habitación no muy limpia y básicamente si utencilios. La puerta del edificio da a un callejon q es lanparte trasera de donde algunos comercios y restaurantes tiran su basur.

À éviter
A éviter si vous voulez faire une arrivée sereine et autonome ou si vous voulez dormir la nuit.
Nous sommes arrivés vers 17h à l'appart. Devant la porte de l'immeuble rien de bien clair, nous avons appelé pour savoir comment entrer. Finalement à l'intérieur, une borne nous demande notre numéro de réservation. Le seul n° que nous avons est celui de hotels.com et ne fonctionne pas sur la borne. Nous rappelons le numéro. Il ne sait pas comment nous aider. Il nous demande d'appeler un autre numéro, qui ne décroche pas. nous avons finalement utilisé l'interphone de la borne. Une personne en ligne fait la manipulation pour nous sur la borne avec un n° de réservation (que nous n'avions jamais reçu). La carte de la chambre doit sortir de la borne mais elle ne sort pas. Nous rappelons via l'interphone. Elle retente mais nous laisse en attente pour trouver une solution. Elle finit par nous rappeler pour nous dire qu'une personne va arriver d'ici 15 min. Cette personne arrive pour ouvrir la borne et la réparer. Les cartes étaient coincées dedans, il faut Redémarrer la borne. Il fini par nous donner sa propre carte d'accès pour que nous n'attendions pas plus longtemps dans le hall, et nous rejoins après. Il a fallut plus d'1h30 d'attente.
les cartes qu'il fini par nous donner ne fonctionnaient pas.
La nuit a été horrible. L'appart n'est pas isolé nous avons entendu toutes les fêtes dans l'immeuble. Impossible de dormir... A éviter donc !!
