The apartment is clean and well-appointed. Metro is close by. I didn’t care to go to a different location for check-in but (a) it was in the description and we knew about it (b) it was pretty seamless.

The location is convenient in terms of accessibility but it is not the prettiest. Barcelona in general is a bit grimy. The apartment was very clean. We liked out stay!

This place is amazing! It's very modern and big, with comfortable beds and all the amenities you could need for a great stay. The host at check-in was really friendly and helpful, providing excellent suggestions for food, transportation and sights that made our visit to Barcelona great. We are a family of four with two kids in their early teens and this place was perfect. If I ever go to Barcelona again (and I hope to), I'll definitely stay at this apartment again!

We had a great stay at Sensation Authentic Gràcia. The pre-check-in instructions and how to access the apartment were a bit confusing at first, but once we figured it out, everything went smoothly. I recommend using WhatsApp—it made communication with the apartment team super easy. They were always available and helpful, whether we had questions about a local clinic, an issue with the kettle, cleaning service timing, or arranging a taxi to the airport. Responses were fast and helpful.

The apartment itself was spacious, clean, and thoughtfully decorated. There were four of us, and we never ran out of hot water as long as we took quick showers. The foldable bed in the living room was perfect when my daughter got sick and wanted to sleep separately. We especially loved the balconies—one for relaxing and another for drying clothes after using the washer (no dryer, but it wasn’t a problem).

The beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast and light meals.

The best part was the neighborhood—authentic, non-touristy, and full of local charm. Sagrada Família was within walking distance, and Casa Batlló and Park Güell were a short metro or bus ride away. The area felt very safe and had plenty of shops, restaurants, bakeries, and takeout options.

We would definitely stay here again!

The property is located in a lovely, quiet neighborhood and is conveniently close to the Sagrada Familia, making it a great base for exploring the city.

However, we encountered a significant issue with the hot water supply—it runs out after one person showers, requiring a 30–45 minute wait before the next person can have a hot shower. This was inconvenient, especially when trying to maximize time for sightseeing. Additionally, the living room rug was quite worn and could use replacing.

Overall, it's a pleasant place to stay, but it falls short of the standards expected from a 4-star property.

Walkable and close to Sagrada Familia which had many restaurant options. We also did a 30 minute hike up to Park Guell. Not a great idea with kids but doable for adults. Apartment itself was clean and well maintained but would appreciate if lobby would smell a little nicer. Other than that, we had a great stay there and communication was excellent. Check in area was 5 min away but by car. Not advisable to check in and tow luggage with you all the way to the apartment unless you have a car waiting for you to check in and then be dropped off to the apartment itself. The apartment has a 24 hour grocery across from it that had yummy pizza options!

Handy for cathedral. good self catering

My husband & I checked in to the reception address with no problem and were offered the choice of walking 10 mins to the apartment block or a free taxi We chose taxi as had big luggage.
We booked the recommended transfer for our daughters who were coming by a later flight and put in the notes for them to drop them at the apartments & not check in venue, to make it easier for them late at night. But he wanted to take them to the check in venue & they had to argue it for a while and the driver said they dont read notes on bookings! so it would have been less stressful for them to have just got a taxi outside the terminal.
Aside from that, the 2 bedroom apartment was nicely furnished but slept 6 with comfy seating on one sofa only fitting 3 easily but not 4 of us really. Smart tv so we could watch our own netflix etc.
Lots of crockery & cutlery as there was 4 of us so we could use it & then put dishwasher on and have more to use if needed. washing machine but a small airer. washing clothes tablets and washing up liquid & dishwasher tablets was included. There is a kettle & nespresso coffee maker but no pods so best to bring your own tea/ coffee with you. Apartment was 10 mins from Sagrada Familia but 45 ish walk to Pl Cataluna. Lots of supermarkets around, but an Aldi was less than 5 mins down the road for everything you need. Lots of cafes/bakeries around. Restaurants seemed to be small inside and had more outside seating but a bit chilly in Feb. We found a few nice ones.

This property was in an excellent location, being close to a grocery store, the Sagrada Familia, and souvenir shops. It had good water pressure and maintained a good air temperature for sleeping. However, there was road noise and people laughing and talking during \"sleep\" hours. I would recommend using white noise or another phone setting that could reduce the outside noises. There is also a deposit fee not mentioned by Expedia that would have been helpful to be aware of for planning purposes.

Great Location and Comfortable Stat

We stayed at Sensation apartments Barcelona for 3 nights during our 14 day Spain trip. The apartment location was perfect, close to Sagrada Familia and walking distance to restaurants and shopping. The apartment was cozy and well equipped. We were 4 people 2 adults and 2 teenagers and it was wet comfortable stay with 1 doubled bed, 2 twins and a sofa bed. There is a parking station less then a min walk (across the street) with reasonable rate with in/out privilege.

The check-in was at a different location about 2-3 mins walk and the person at the check-in was very helpful and reception was accessible through WhatsApp chat through the stay.

The only comment / suggestion for management is that the twin beds were very short, my 16 year old had his legs hanging off the bed. Upgrade to a full length twin will much better.

Lastly I would recommend sensation apartments for anyone looking to stay in Barcelona and near Sagrada.

We liked the location, being an easy walk to Sagrada Familia and also close to 2 different metro stations, making it ready to get around the city. We also walked to Park Guell from here. The area is very quiet and a suburban neighbourhood. There are some restaurants and bars within eat walk. Staff were very friendly and helpful in booking taxi transport etc. Good value for the price.

It involved a bit of a walk to find an office, which we could have avoided if we had know the best place for the taxi to drop us. That was our fault.

Close to the Sagrada Família, the location and cleanliness were a definite plus. We walked everywhere and took the Metro at Sagrada Família without any trouble. Wi-Fi connection needs improvement, and was taken aback by the fact that a part of our security deposit was retained due to a supposed stain on the carpet, quite sure this was not from our party, but I’ll be sure to check the condition of the apartment better next time. Would still recommend for families, safe neighborhood, walking distance to metro, grocery, restaurants.

Cute hotel, Wi-Fi sucks, not quiet at night

The hotel was nice, they furnish everything you need to cook a meal. There are convenience stores, butcher, bakery and produce all within walking distance. The metro is several blocks away but not too far of a walk. The main negative is the walls are thin and the windows allow you to hear everything outside. There was a group of Italians that stayed up until 4 or 5 in the morning every night we were there, drinking and talking loudly in the outdoor courtyard, so I didn't get any sleep. They also woke up at 9am so it was pretty brutal. Also Wi-Fi would cut in and out constantly, which is super annoying.

mediocre amenities but lovely comfort

Upon entering our room, it was very smelly, like bad air freshener or spilled cologne. Kind of smelled like they tried to cover up a smoker or something. We left the windows open and thankfully it aired the room out. They only left one extra roll of toilet paper for a four night stay and to get more would have meant walking to their reception again. The reception for these apartments was not open when we went to ask for more paper, even though we went during its posted open hours. The other reception was not easy to find, as you can only see a hallway from the street behind a locked door, and we couldn't even tell that it was open. The only way to make coffee in the apartment is with the provided coffee pod machine, although they don't provide the pods. You have to walk to reception and pay for them. The apartment however was spacious and the inner bedroom was quiet and with one of the most comfortable beds we slept on in Europe.

Happy customer

I had a great stay at the apartment. It was near everything, about 4 blocks from Sagrada Familia. There is a supermarket directly across the street, fish store to the left of the apartment building, and produce shop down the street. There is also a Halal restaurant across the street that was good. Taxis were easy to get at the corner or a block down at the main intersection. The apartment was clean and comfy. Loved the terrace, the kitchen was great and the beds were comfy. The place is decorated nicely, not extremely extravagant but good enough, looked just like the pictures.

What I did not like:

1) Very nice kitchen and fridge but no ice trays

2) apartment does not have a full length mirror

3) hot water ran out, it was on the next day but that would be annoying had My stay been in colder months.

Nice place near Sagrada Familia

The room was clean and located in a quite neighborhood near the Sagrada Familia. There were number of 24 hour grocery stores and small restaurants within walking distance. The only critisem that I have is that the hotel does not offer shuttle service to the alternate hotel location. You have to pull your suitcases up a hill for about 5 or 6 blocks. On any given day it would not be a problem but after a day traveling it could be a bit much on people.

Great Apartments near the Sagrada Familia

Due to arriving late at night, we were informed we must check in at another of Sensations Apartments. Not only was this quick and easy, but then we were told our apartment was only a 5 minute walk up the road!

The apartments were clean and well stocked with enough cutlery and plates for all 6 of us, alongside cleaning supplies, a hairdryer, washing machine and dishwasher.

Another bonus of this apartment is the location - it is ideally located for the Sagrada Familia (only 10 minutes away) and Parc Guell is 25 minutes away (but only if you want to climb a massive hill!!). With metro stops being close by, you were only minutes from being anywhere in Barcelona.

Finally, the check out was just as easy, be out by 11 but they can store your luggage in locked compartments until you need to take them.

Overall - excellent.

Great Apartment. Difficult Check in

Check in at another location was extremely difficult and frustrating. We are seasoned travelers so we felt we would not have problems others had experienced, but we did. This is a major weakness of this property and is the reason for the less than excellent review. During our stay other guests had similar difficulties. I cannot recommend this property until they fix this check in procedure.
Another warning, if you are renting the 4 bedroom apartment, there is a stairway inside the apartment that is tile with wrought iron railings that could be dangerous for very young children. You will need to constantly be watching them to keep them away from the stairway both upstairs and downstairs.
On the positive side, Barcelona is a wonderful city !!! The apartment and bathrooms were very clean and comfortable. Wifi worked fine for us. All kitchen appliances worked well. Americans will need some initial assistance using the appliances. Convenience stores, internet cafe with sim cards, parks, and good restaurants surround the apt. The neighborhood was very safe and the people friendly. Close to subways and taxis easy to find. Also, close to several attractions.

There is good security and a lift in the building. A rooftop area for relaxing completes the experience. Cafes and grocery markets are nearby.

Tip for visitors: make use of the excellent Metro trains and use the nearby station called Joanic. This is two blocks away from the apartment. Barcelona has so much to see and do.

Great Non-Traditional Option

We only stayed here for three nights, and I wish it would have been more! The location was great. The staff were really helpful. The facilities were really nice, with a good view and nice furniture.

Be aware: This is not a traditional hotel suite, but a true apartment. We had two bedrooms, a full kitchen, dining area, an expansive sitting room, and two balconies. There were four beds total, and someone could probably sleep on the couch, too.

Reception is located four blocks away, which was not convenient, since our flight was delayed and we arrived after the reception area was closed. But we called the emergency reception number, and they met us there after 10:30 p.m. Throughout our stay, the reception staff were really helpful. They helped set up tours and taxis for us. Super nice, super friendly, and they spoke English well.

The Basilica at La Sagrada Familia is an easy five-block walk. There's a Metro stop there, as well, which opens up the whole city to you. All the cool stuff around La Sagrada Familia is also easily accessible. There are decent restaurants around, but the apartments are not located in a very busy tourist area. Las Ramblas is too far to walk (although you can easily take the Metro). Cab fare was 30-35 Euro each way.

I enjoyed staying here very much. I highly advise it, although it's probably a better fit for families or larger groups than singles or couples.

Spain family vacation

I booked a suite and made myself very comfortable but was not happy that there was no 24 hr front door service. To check in, u have to walk a block with ur suitcases if u do not read the fine prints after booking.
The r several locations and u have to check in at another then walk with ur heavy bags to get to ur hotel. If u need service u have to call during the day and wait until some one delivers ur stuff. There is no phone in the room but on a specific floor if u need to call them... which I thought was backwards and quite a hassle. The room said no smoking but when we got there, the stench of the cigarette was unbearable. The shower had a half glass partition so if u take a shower the floor gets wet. I guess the hotel only catered to ppl who take baths and not showers . Too many tourist from all over the world so they needed to be practical. The only upside was the walking distance to Sagrada Familia Cathedral. Not sure whether I will stay there again. Maybe on las ramblas to have quick access to the trains and buses. Overall I love Barcelona and will visit again.

very nice hotel, close to everything.

I stayed for four nights and it was a very pleasant experience. Location is good staff is outstanding and helpful. I would recommend you go by taxi from the airport. the closest subway station is about half a mile away, when are carrying luggage you will find it a little hard. Other then this, I have no complaint whatsoever.

Apartment confession

Pleasant stay in Spain. A little but pricey for apartment. The shower was kinda messed up but we managed to make it work... If your basically looking for a place to sleep and shower, it meets your needs. Da King has spoken.

Surprise vacation

Reserved 36hrs prior to arrival. Staff went out of way on few occasions that made our stay much better (The few staff I met spoke very good english). They were helpful in getting us grounded to enjoy our stay. The apartment is designed to have an extended stay. Wifi strength is good. 3-4 blocks from the subway, get the day passes, allowing for quick movement around town. Just up the block from Sagrada Familia Cathedral (thats one of the must see things in BCN).

Location, Location, Location!!

The hotel is located less than 10 mins to La Sagrada Familia and the subway and is situated in a nice barrio (neighbourhood) where locals meet and dine. The hotel itself is very well maintained and quiet. Would stay there again and definitely recommend this to everyone.

Comfortable, spacious apartments in a good location

The apartment we stayed in for 3 days was comfortable and had everything a couple could want; washer, dishwasher, comfortable bed and close to everything in order to enjoy all that Barcelona has to offer. The apartments have been renovated nicely and I appreciate that the kitchen is well stocked but the apartment isn't crowded with a lot of extra junk. We cooked fresh dinners with food purchased from the local market and fish store, both around the corner from the apartment. The only problem we encountered was that the internet was down for about 36 hours. Evidently Sensation Apartments depends on a private firm to repair the internet.

Well priced & friendly service.

The location is good with the Sagrada Familia & Metro close by. We were in 343, which may surprise you when you need to find a different location four blocks away to check in. We weren't surprised, and had the taxi from the airport drop us off at 380. Read the fine print.
The apartment was very clean & the service was fantastic. Our only complaint would be that the WiFi didn't work for 4 days, almost our entire stay.
Barcelona is a great city.

Best apartment ever; terrible internet

The apartment was in perfect condition and smelled really nice. I booked a one-bedroom for the 3 of us, but ended up getting a two-bedroom instead, which was really nice. Well equipped kitchen and bathroom with all the necessities. We only stayed for 2 nights but had the best sleep ever. The beds were a dream. The only and MAIN downside of this apartel is that the internet was terrible. We couldn't work at all. Emails don't even get sent. Another issue is that the reception is a few blocks away and you have to go there if you arrive later than 6PM, and you just get the key to the apartment. Overall, we'll still stay in this apartment when we get back to BCN. Just dont count on good internet connection.

Great Location, with Metro nearby too

Very comfortable, very clean, very good service (especially from Jesus) on the check-in desk. The location is great too as its close to the Sagrada Família. Metro stations close by too (about 10 ins walk). Hotel amenities good. Ideal apartment if you have children of any age. Many grocery shops in close vicinity .. so no need to carry any weight. Overall the stay was of higher than expected.

Much Better than Expected

We were transferred to another unit because it was not ready upon arrival. The other unit was awesome. It was a two bedroom townhouse including a kitchen, living area, dining area and terrace. The whole unit was spacious. We were three blocks from Sagrada Familia. Close to shopping and restaurant. As a whole Barcelona was a safe and beautiful city to visit. We visited four countries on this trip. It was by far the best.

If you need to use the internet, don't stay here

Overall not a bad choice. It really isn't a hotel, it's an apartment. It is well equiped (everything is from Ikea), so you can feel like a local. It is a common Barcelona neighborhood, close to the Sagrada Familia. Not far from the metro station. Quite new and in good condition.
The only mayor negative factor is that the WiFi is prehistoric. It is worse than dial-up, so if you need to connect, look elsewhere.

Lucky to travel Mom

Fantastic family location

Though finding the place was difficult and then the email did not mention there are multiple locations and the office is where you need an address to, then the actual place. Otherwise, I have NO other issues. The apartment was more than comfortable for 3 young children, with amenities that were suitable to our needs. Located in a very nice area within walking distance of the Sagrad familia and close to just about everything else on our list. Classy place and clean, the packnplay was very comfy, more comfy than the one I have at home!!! Nice set up all around and I will definitely be staying again on my next visit!!! The place even came with \"hotel-like\" soaps to use in the shower/sink. Air conditioned place dwith WIFI rounded out our entire stay!!! Great place and more than worth the money spent.
