We were a family of 2 adults and 2 children and we rented the 3 bedroom apt. It was only for one night but we wished we could have stayed longer, we had private parking downstairs for a small fee and the kids got their own room. The apt came with a full kitchen and washing machine. It was great, when I got back to Barcelona, I will definitely be staying at this apt. Very roomy and the staff were very nice.
Fantastic place to stay!! Reasonable, clean, safe and has a kitchenette! Out of Barcelona (but only ten minutes on the metro) it is an a nice local neighbourhood and a welcome break from the busy downtown. Great deli and bakery just around the corner and a handy little shop right next door. Only a 15 minute walk from Park Guell (if you go between 0500-0800 in the morning it is free and it there is nobody there). In the other direction, a two minute walk toward Av. Tibidabo (you can also get into town from here on the train that goes from here) brings you to the Blue Tram which takes you up to the Funicular which goes to the top of Tibidabo (great views all over Barcelona) - but rather than pay for that expensive journey just jump on the bus which goes to exactly the same place and costs half the price. I would go back to Barcelona in a heartbeat....and would definitely stay at Aparthotel Bertran!
My husband and I stayed here the first week of June for 5 days in Room 308. The room was spotlessly clean, the twin beds (which we had requested) were firm and very comfortable, the kitchenette was adequate for our needs and we would definitely stay at Bertran again without hesitation. Camille, the General Manager, was very gracious and helpful as was the staff at the desk. The TV only has English speaking news stations, but what do you expect .... you're in Spain. :) I saw that one person stated the dishes in their place weren't clean and were chipped. That was not the case for us. Everything matched, including the silverware and it all appeared new. You do hear your neighbours if they are noisy, but it is quickly taken care of by the staff and they are told to be quiet and they make sure that they remain quiet for other guests. The furniture was clean and comfortable; yes, a little dated, but like I said, it was clean and comfortable. The only real complaint was that the air conditioner didn't make it as cool as what we're used to and it was a bit noisy when it would kick in, but it was tolerable. The Metro subway is only about a 5 minute walk as is The Hop On - Hop Off bus stop to anywhere you want to go. Best to buy 10 tickets at a time for the Metro as it's the cheapest way to go. There are plenty of lounges and a small pool on the roof to cool off in. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a clean, comfortable place to stay without coming home broke. We will definitely go back. Barcelona has won our hearts. (Jill Gibb - Niagara Falls, ON, Canada.) P.S. Great view of Tibadabado from rooftop, otherwise view is basically of other local apartments, but that was kind of neat anyway. :D
Buenas tardes,
Thank you for your comments, we work hard to make our guess feeling great in the aparthotel.
Actually, i am not the General Manager, just a receptionist...
We hope to see you again next time you visit the city.
Camille.
Apartment was spacious but in need of a good clean and an upgrade. Furniture shabby dining plates chipped and needed washing before use. Some street noise if your bedroom at the front.
Plenty of hot water and free wi fi a bonus.
Area very quiet and pleasant. Transport into city easy and taxi 10 euros.
Overall service at the hotel was good, but if you go to the left hand side of the building those apartments have no elevators, so be ready to climb all the stairs when you go in and out, we had that issue in our first night but after that, they changed our room and gave us a room in the main side of the hotel and our stay was pleasant , they bring you the breakfast to your bedroom, staff is very responsive and nice.
