The apartment itself was undoubtedly cozy, fully furnished and fully equipped! When I realized that we do not have a boiling water machine, I rang at the office and asked if they have one, and in almost half an hour the person in charge came and brought us the machine. So efficient! Moreover, when I went to the office to pick up the keys for the apartment, the company staff was really friendly, they gave us directions and all the information we needed in order to have a comfortable holiday! Unquestionably, this company is the best one, and I will brand it to my friends! About the price, it was more than excellent! Thank you for making our holiday perfect! I am looking forward to come back in Barcelona and rent one of your flats again!

The bed was very comfy and the sheets were incredibly soft, so it was a great spot to rest. They do have someone at the front desk in charge of the front door 24/7, which was very convenient. P.S. This is not a hostel. Hostal in Spanish is a small hotel, in this case more like a small boutique hotel.

My friend and I stayed at the Inside Barcelona apartments for a week in early December and it was…read moreabsolutely lovely! What an amazing place to stay for an amazing price in an amazing area of the city! It really couldn't have been better, we were so happy with our stay here, and the Inside Barcelona office/help desk people were so friendly and accommodating! We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this apartment and it really made our trip memorable! Our apartment was on the 4th floor of the Carrer Comercial 15 building, and basically had everything we could ask for and more! Upon walking in, there was a bathroom with sink and shower, next to a large bedroom with two beds. The staircase leads you upstairs from here, where the living area, kitchen, and second bedroom are located. The living area was complete with comfy chairs and a couch, and a flat screen TV and coffee table. There was also a dining table with chairs, and a full service kitchen complete with fridge, stove, sink, and stocked with dining utensils and cookware. The second bedroom is upstairs also, with a bed, desk, and private balcony. The living room also has a big beautiful balcony you can walk out on and we had a great view from the 4th floor! Some great sunsets here! The layout of the apartment was really perfect, and we absolutely enjoyed our time here! All amenities also are provided, such as towels, sheets, kitchenwares, even a large bottle of water in the fridge! I believe if you stay a certain number of days they also have a maid service that will come in and clean. Basically everything a hotel provides you with and more! Another huge plus is how helpful the staff at Inside Barcelona are. They give you detailed instructions on how to get here when you arrive (I took the train from the airport), even which trains to hop on/off of, which was super helpful. I got there without a hitch and met them in their office, then they escorted me to the apartment, showed me around, and went over all the details. They also give you handouts about events going on in the area, where the closest conveniences are such as grocery stores, ATMs, etc, and they can get tickets for you to all the major Barcelona attractions and day trips. WOW they were so helpful, it was wonderful! We ended up booking tickets to an FC Barcelona game through them and it worked out perfectly! They really did think of everything you could need and were very accommodating and super friendly! The icing on the cake is that this apartment building is right in the middle of the best area, we really loved exploring El Born and found so many wonderful restaurants and cool sights and things to do in this district, we were really happy to stay here! Its close to the Estacio Franca (train station), Picasso Museum, a big park, tons of restaurants and a lively bar scene, and a short walk to the metro. Also close is the Bascilica de Santa Maria del Mar, a huge beautiful gothic church that isn't to be missed! There is a ton to do in this area, just a short walk away. That being said, our apartment was quiet as a mouse, we didn't have any trouble sleeping at all and didn't hear any loud noises at night at all, which was wonderful. Our stay here was superb and I recommend anyone travelling to Barcelona to stay here! Its amazing value for your money, we had a wonderful time and really enjoyed ourselves. The place was perfect, the location was perfect, and the staff of Inside Barcelona really were perfect, we had the best time and staying here really made the experience memorable!

I had no worries about how to get here when arriving at the airport because they seem to have it all covered and down pat, complete with PDF of the check-in procedure and then plenty of maps and recommendations for the Born area once we walked in the door to the apartment. In some ways it's like the personal feel of staying at an apartment through AirBnB but fully streamlined and kink-free!

I'm going to start off by saying that this hostel is really clean, with fairly nice amenities, and…read morevery reasonable price, especially with what you are getting. It is located in a central area of Barcelona. They have various events, such as Paella making demonstration and daily walking tours (unfortunately, both were cancelled due to not enough people signing up, so make sure to have a plan B should that happen). When I checked in, I got my key card and went to the room I was assigned to. This was my first time staying in a hostel, and I was assigned a top bunk, but the bed was not made and it seemed like someone was staying there. Therefore, I decided to just settle in the bottom bunk. The next day, someone else checked in and went to the top bunk, and he told me that he was assigned to the bottom bunk. It seemed like this mixup had been going on for a little bit where the top/bottom bunk people were switched. I brought this up to the front desk, and the lady was very annoyed. She explained to me, very rudely, that they have a strict system and that we should be in our assigned bunk, and to switch my key card with the other person. I thought this was reasonable, but I never ran into the other person again: being that I slept early and he probably came back to the hostel late and checked out early. The next day, someone else checked in and asked the same question as me to the front desk. The lady was furious with me. On the staircase of the hostel with people going back and forth, she was yelling at me, saying "This is all your fault! I told you to switch spots with the last guy. This is all your fault!" I explained the whole situation as I had here. I sure as hell wasn't going to wait up all night for the other guy to get back from wherever he went just to switch the key card with him, that should be the job of the hostel staff. She wouldn't listen to my explanation at all, and it didn't seem like she was scolding me with purpose. She just kept on saying "this is all your fault:" what is the point of that? I'm not the hostel staff, and these things happen. This was a tan lady with long hair: there was a guy from the UK working and a girl with buzz-cut working, who were all very chill and nice. If it weren't for this isolated situation, I would definitely recommend this place to others.

I didn't get to do any of the activities that they offered and I wish I had taken advantage of them. Saw a salsa class, and it looked fun. This hostel is great for solo travelers, I feel like you can meet a lot of people. It was convenient also because they do have a washing machine and a drying machine so we were able to do laundry. 3€ for each use. Great location, within walking distance to the bus station and there's a bunch of good food and bars nearby. Didn't get to have dinner here but I appreciated the breakfast they offered. They have a lot of cool amenities in my opinion! Even computers and a pool table and cheap alcohol.

It's so easy to get to and it's right in the heart of Placa Reial off of Las Ramblas. It really is the perfect location. The windows of the common area face the Placa so I was also able to see the street performances. The hostel itself is clean, as are the bathrooms (very important)! Free wifi, free breakfast, and free dinner (on a first come, first serve basis). Staff were friendly for the most part. All the rooms had secured lockers for your belongings. The rooftop bar makes the best sangria I've ever had, and only for 3 euros! It was a little confusing to me at first because you have to buy a drink ticket at the ticket machine and then use that at the bar. The rooftop bar is also where you will meet up if you want to join the bar crawl - which I did! I had the best time with many thanks to our great host, Melissa. My initial intention was to give it 5 stars but the following instances took it down to 4: 1. I personally booked a 4-person room for my group of 3. Upon check-in, we were informed that it wasn't possible to put us all in one room on the first night and that we would have to be separated into 2 and 1. If I booked 3 beds together, I would naturally expect us to all be in one room. I would've appreciated prior notice if it wasn't possible. They were able to change our rooms and put us together for our 2nd and 3rd night. 2. One of our lockers in the room wasn't working. It was fixed but broke again at some point and the technician had to come look at it again (that's twice in one day).
