Las Ramblas Apartments I

( 3 stars , Barcelona , Spain )

+ We stayed in the las ramblas apartments i on templers st. we had a large two bedroom apartment though there were just two of us. perfect location in old town (the best area in barcelona). the apartment had two (small) balconies and old wooden double doors onto them. great way to pretend like you live there! the price was very reasonable too!

+ Excellent location, very central to barcelona, easy directions to collect keys and to apartment - Staff very quick to collect 300 euro deposit, very slow at returning deposit, i had to call spain to chase up. so much so that the sterling/euro rate changed significantly, i am now out of pocket nearly 20 pounds out of pocket

+ Apartments are simple clean and in a very central location, which is great for tourists. excellent value for money for large groups. - These apartments are adequate considering value for money, however, they are not luxury apartments or 4*. don't stay here if you are a group of rowdy foreigners! as a group of 11, we were incredibly careful to be quiet and respect house rules, however, it feels as if the owners have had problems in the past and would not be tolerant of any excess noise after 10pm. those who ignore the rules could find themselves out on the street!! the area around the flat seemed to get very, very rough late at night. i wouldn't let this put other visitors off, but those considering staying in this area should be aware of the risks.

+ Close proximatey to la ramblas. quieter street and excellent local restaurant in the adjacent square. - Overlooked the back of a large office block, however this did not effect our stay.

+ Definately a prime location, just by the city hallin the gothic quarter, a few steps from las ramblas. the apartment is very comfortable, about 65-70 square metres well designed. it has a full kitchen that we used to prepare some food some days. the bathroom is all right. very clean. the building and the area are very nice. - Everything was vey good, maybe the elevator is too slow.

+ Situated in a very good position just of las ramblas, you get what you pay for. - Ants had clearly made themselves at home in the kitchen. was not aware that staff would let themselves into appartment to do washing whilst we were out and leave windows wide open!!

- It cost 20euros extra on taxi waiting for keys and no air cond. which is a must also no proper place to dispose of your rubbish plus pictures on net very deceiving

+ The appartments were brilliant for us. everything we needed was there. we rented two appartments between 9 girls and we could not get over the value for money. the appartments were clean, well centred and spacious. it was exactly what we needed.

+ A delightful little appartment in the gothic area. - The appartment was a bit difficult to find (street names are in catalan in some maps & in spanish on others) it wasn't particularly well equipped (no tea-towels, only 4 mugs) but otherwise very happy with it. please watch your property in barcelona!! almost every group of tourists we spoke to had had a handbag snatched- as did we

+ Location was the best. very near where the aerobus drupped us off. also las ranblas was right out our door - --
