AinB Las Ramblas-Colon Apartments Apartment

The location is good and the apartment is clean and modern. The aircon worked well. However, I rented a studio with my mother who is in her 60s, and the room was not as pictured AT ALL. The balcony is tiny, only big enough for one person to stand (and only stand, not even able to squat). These stairs are really something else (requiring bending and turning at the same time) — impossible for my mom with luggage, which no one offered to carry. The bed was also really hard and very uncomfortable and the water pressure was terrible. Also, the staff was pretty mediocre. We overheard a family complaining about a beeping noise, and the staff seemed pretty nonchalant about it — and even said that there were only allowed toilet paper every three days and if they had extra waste they had to take it downstairs to the street themselves. We asked the receptionist for a taxi to the train station and the one that arrived charged an additional €10 on top of the €15 fare (for €3 hotel pickup, €3 luggage charge and €3 train station fee — even though he didn’t he drop us at the front where a parking fee could theoretically exist — and an extra €1 for who knows what) and the receptionist never mentioned any of these extra “fares” to us before we left, which really begs the question of which services they’re choosing for their customers. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Convenient location. Good price. But very poor sound insulation and very cold.

Spent 4 nights at the ainb gothici studio apartment. Great location, receptionist \julianna was so helpful. Quirky decor, glad of the lift, comfy (bed a bit hard for me) would definitely return, surprised how expensive apartments are in Barcelona though for a 4 night stay (via agency, euro 493. Likely to be cheaper when booking directly.
