The pictures are misleading to the actual size of the room. The pictures show the shared space which makes it look like that is a part of the room you stay in but it is not. Some rooms do not have a bathroom attached to the room, so you have a communal hallway to get to the bathroom. This isn’t in any description which would be helpful. We were moved to a room that had an attached bathroom the second night which was nice. The previous room was way too loud, you could hear every time someone opened the door or moved in the hallway. This was with earplugs. This would all be fine if it was explained previously. The breakfast that’s included is confusing. They have some dry food and snacks out, but in the fridge they had 2 eggs, 2 tomatoes, some yogurt and juice. I couldn’t figure out how to make the eggs. I thought someone would make us some food based on the description of the property. This is fine because there are a ton of brunch places walking distance so we were always fine with that. Ok next the bathroom situation. There is a short timer for the lights which will turn off your lights within a few minutes. This was in both bathrooms I used in both rooms. If you are showering or using the bathroom it will just turn off and you are in a dark room. It was EXTREMELY annoying. I have never been in a hotel or Airbnb that had anything like this. The shower itself needed to be replaced the head sprayed everywhere and seemed old and broken.

The positives: great location and clean.

Check-in took a long time. Even though I informed of my arrival time in advance, it didn’t help, and although communication through WhatsApp was smooth at first, there was no response when I was waiting.
The toilet hadn’t been cleaned, and there were residues inside, so I had to clean it myself before using it and before even being able to sit down.

No one was there to greet us. We arrived at 8.30 at night. If one of the guests had not to help us, we would be on the street. We did not even receive an apology from the owner.

The sink was clogged, shower to small to enter, drain of shower clogged. Tiles are broken.

This was the cutest and coziest place I’ve ever stayed. During our trip to Spain, we stayed at four different hotels, and this was by far my favorite. Our room was a good size, with twin beds that worked perfectly for two ladies for the night. I honestly wish we could have stayed longer!

The property had a kitchen, a lovely seating area, and a charming patio where you could relax, enjoy a glass of wine, or read a book. It was conveniently close to restaurants and just a 10-minute walk from Passeig de Gràcia station. In the morning, we were treated to a sweet little breakfast, which made the experience even more special.

Next time I’m in Barcelona, I would love to stay here again for a longer visit—this time, I’ll probably book the larger room with the terrace. Thank you, Ms. Delores, for welcoming us so warmly when we arrived and for leaving us the delicious breakfast!

The property is very old. However located in very good location! The entrance inside the lobby is with chipped paint. The rooms are on the 1st floor. The bathroom and toilet are in a separate room and need to cross corridor to go there. For 1-2 nights are Ok.

We were pleasantly surprised by our stay - close to primary locations but out of the way enough that it was quiet and peaceful. We thoroughly enjoyed having aircon during the heatwave, as well as the brekky options (we bought our own GF bread).

The only difficulty was that the door to get into the apartment often got stuck, and the key wouldn’t open it up. Many people including myself either needed help to get our keys out of the door lock, or had to have someone open the door for us because it was jammed from the other side. Please fix it!

We paid a lot for a room in this property that featured a private bathroom. We left after 10 minutes upon realizing The pictures are deceiving. There is a bathroom down the hall that is shared with all rooms. I have a complaint into Expedia regarding the misrepresentation and am hoping to be refunded. DO NOT Fall for their scam.

Check-in was a nightmare because they don't always have someone at the B&B so it took over 1 hour for someone to come and let us in. The room has a \"private\" but not attached bathroom, in other words you have to walk down the hallway to the bathroom which is assigned to your room. Breakfast was essentially a few items left in the fridge (also assigned to each room) including some deli meat, yogurt, hard boiled eggs and bread. They also had a coffee machine, cookies and pastries in the common kitchen area available at all times. We only stayed here one night since we had an overnight layover through Barcelona so we dealt with the dorm-like bathroom situation but couldn't have done it for a longer stay.

The property is in bad condition. The pictures on the website are very misleading. There are broken tiles all over the room you can’t walk barefoot it is dangerous. I cut my foot on one of the broken tiles. It is extremely over priced for what is offered. The breakfast provided had rotten tomatoes. If you are looking for a hostel at the price of a hotel then this is for you.

We were disappointed. The room we got was not AT ALL like the photos on Expedia or the Factory website. We got a dark box that measured 2m by 4m, sparsely furnished, with a black wall and a false window- leading not outside, but to a shaft within the building leading down to a noisy bar. The earplugs did little to muffle the sounds that continued until 1-2am, 2 of our 3 nights. We paid over $700 for 3 nights. Maybe this is inexpensive for Eixample Barcelona, but we felt swindled by the “false” online marketing. Does Christina the owner even exist? We only met the cleaning person, briefly, otherwise there is zero personnel and our WhatsApp communications rarely got answered. Email and calls: nada. The fridges are not full size, breakfast rations are not homemade as they say in writing, and the milk had gone bad. The ecletic look of the common spaces is fine, but regardless of the room you get (sunny with real window? or dark cell…): this is a hostal with 4 private rooms, in an appartment building, with self-serve grocery store breakfast. I have travelled to over 20 countries, always on a budget and we regretted this splurge. $235 per night per room is too much for cramped and sleepless night. The common area was nice, but please put the real photos of the actual rooms so travelers know what to expect. This comment was echoed by a couple we crossed paths with - in another dark box-like room, so it wasn’t just us.

The person who checked us in was wonderful and very helpful. The apartment was cute, and it was in a great location. Be sure to check the online posting well, as it does not do a good job of indicating which room has an on suit and which does not. We had a bathroom that was outside of our room.

First of all, I didn't realize this was more like a hostel - so rooms with shared kitchen and lounge area. The name of the property is Factory Suites, so I thought it was like a regular hotel suite. There was no elevator, no front desk, no bellboy. The room was on the 3rd floor and we had big, heavy suitcases! I was very thankful I was not traveling alone because I have a bad back, an injured knee and my right foot was still healing from a recent surgery, so no way would I have been able to get my suitcase up by myself without great difficulty and pain. And then there was the bar next door with VERY LOUD music until the wee hours of the morning. So, barely slept in the 3 nights we were there. Furniture was old. No microwave. I tried to cancel the booking and was looking for a decent hotel to transfer to but per Expedia staff that we spoke with, we wouldn't get a refund if we did. Spent a good amount of time on the phone with Expedia and they did try to help (I think), but to no avail. If you want to stay in a hotel and in a real suite, then this is not it.

Nice place, especially if you like meeting people

Excellent location ...woman that took care of the apt was very nice and helpful...nice common areas (kitchen,living room and outdoor area.) The breakfast was simple but definitely enough to get you going.! The bath was nice but tiny(common In Europe.) You might call this \"a little bohemian\" but it fit our needs at a decent price. And we were able to meet people from Australia, France,China and U.S.The largest down side...The bed room floor was filthy, broken tiles and loose tiles.Our white socks were black on the bottom after 2 minutes in the room.

Had a great time

We had a great stay here. Whilst the buildings a bit old and has a corrugated floor it was cosy and welcoming. Christina (the manager) was delightful and couldnt do enough to help us out. The breakfast (carefully sectioned off to each room) was well thought out and scrumptious. We stayed here as we only had 1 night so stayed near the basilica. Christina's friendly manner was what really made our trip

Mixed feelings

For us the location was ideal, being walkable to places of interest yet away from the crowds.
The provision of breakfast & tea, coffee, cake & biscuits at anytime of the day was really good, so that you set off for the day well fed. Using the communal lounge & dining area with other guests & with each room having its own food & space in the fridges worked well.
The decor and furnishings are shabby chic & overall pleasant however the chairs in the lounge area have seen better days & need replacing as the springs are hanging out the bottom & not comfortable. A lick of paint to freshen up areas would be good too.
The provision of ear plugs I thought was to help cut out any noise from other guests coming & going if you were sleeping. This was not necessary. They were however to help cut out the sound of terrible electronic house / rave music coming through the foundations of the building from a bar called Santa Martha next door, which obviously thought that it was a club, not a bar. This place was open until 3am in the morning & so resulted in us getting the worst 4 nights sleep ever. I don't know why the owner has not addressed this with the bar as it's detrimental to her business. It turns out that the bar doesn't even have a license to play music & Thai, very nice woman who works at the Factory, even called the police to address. I had to go down on 2 nights to get the music turned down/off. Unless the music issue gets sorted I would not stay here again, which is a shame.

What a fantastic little place this is! Great communication for check in. Lovely staff to greet us on arrival. Good directions make it easy to find. In a perfect area for exploring Barcelona on foot. Close to everything in a lovely part of the city. Great selection of restaurants close by. No lift so have to carry luggage upstairs - not a problem for us, but just an FYI. The main area of the B&B is gorgeously decorated and you can tell the owner has put a lot of care and attention to detail into the place with her knick-knacks. We stayed in a double room with private bathroom, and it was perfect. Good size, well-appointed, comfortable beds, air conditioning much appreciated in the heat wave we experienced. The bathroom was tiny but served us well and we were grateful for the privacy. The breakfast was fantastic. Each room gets assigned a section in the fridge with juice, milk, eggs, fruit etc that is topped up during their stay, and there is a good selection of pastries and cereals. Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended.

This is an apt with multiple private rooms. The location is good and the breakfast and kitchen is good. Know that it is a 2nd floor and you will have to move your bags up and down the stairs. The room with in-suite has a corner shower and anyone over 200 lbs will not fit.

Not so great place

You need to push a button at the front door to call to get in - none of the buttons say Factory Suites. One says bnb, which is what you need to push.

There are four bedrooms and a common area which includes a kitchen and seating for the guests in this hostel that is in a condominium building.

All of the flooring is tile so there is no carpeting to absorb any noise. The front door is very loud when it closes - so you hear it. If someone is walking or talking in the hallway or common area you will hear it. It depends on what the other guests are doing and the hours that they keep if it is quiet or not during your stay. Earplugs are in the room for you to use. I did not hear any noise from the unit above or below. I did hear other guests when I was sleeping.

The four nights I was there all of the rooms were booked - there were eight people staying there. Everyone would eat breakfast there. Crumbs from people eating were left on the common area floor the whole time I was there. A crumpled receipt and a plastic wrapper were on the floor the whole time also.

It was in the 90's while I was there. When I arrived the plants on the terrace were dry. They were not watered at all during my stay. There is a lot of dead leaves on them - they're in bad shape. The terrace was not swept during my stay - a cigarette butt was there the whole time.

I would not have stayed here if I knew all of this.

Fikk tidlig innsjekk da vi dukket opp for å levere fra oss bagasje. Var et veldig lite hotell, tror det bare var 4 rom så veldig hyggelig sted. Noe lydt mellom rommene (spesielt når folk føner håret etter dusj tidlig på morgenen), men det gjør ikke så mye. Var ikke helt forberedt på bad utenfor rommet, men vi fikk vårt eget og det var rent og ryddig. Frokosten var ganske enkel, men absolutt godt nok for å holde det gående til lunsj. Fellesarealene var hyggelige, men vi tilbrakte lite tid på hotellet så fikk ikke brukt dem så mye.

Temiz ve kısa seyahatler için uygun.

Genel olarak çok memnun kaldık. Temizdi ve mahalle de sakindi. Olanaklar yeterliydi. Ancak gözden kaçırdığımız bir şey olmuş. Madrid’te kaldığımızda turist vergisi, otel ücretinin içindeydi. Burda turist vergisini otelde ödedik. Dolayısıyla ilk bakışta otelin fiyatı biraz daha uygun gözüküyor ancak gittiğinizde turist vergisini her türlü ödemeniz gerekiyor.
