AinB Gothic-Jaume I - Barcelona

the rooms are nothing like what is shown here. it is difficult to locate and requires carrying your luggage through town to get to accommodations. very disorganised, i will stay ever again at their property

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The apartment is located in the gothic neighborhood, so is close to everything, it was better than expected. It has everything you need and it looks brand new, really clean.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was a bit small but had everything we needed. The location of the hotel/apartment was excellent, it allowed us to walk to a lot of the places we wanted to visit and it was right next to the metro. The staff were all very helpful.

Even in late November, the neighborhood can be quite noisy. If you're catching an early morning train to Poblet that can be a problem; on other days you can roll with it. You are in central Barcelona after all!

Nice room for the money with full bath and kitchenette...TV was not working...would stay here again

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room was big enough for 3 people, but the noise is pretty bad at night. It almost seemed as if the windows had not insulation (you could hear everything that was going outdoors crystal clear). The location was great though. They are doing construction right now, so the lobby was a little dusty. The asian cleanig lady was very nice and even scheduled […] a cab for us on our last day Read more

Good value. Most people complain about the noise from the street outside, but it didn`t bother us.

Loved this place... amazing location in the Gothic Quarter, you can walk everywhere. The stairs are small and steep, so getting your luggage to the room sucks, but the room is very clean, has AC, and the bathroom is rather large for Spain. This is not a typical Hotel - it is an apartment rental. So you feel like you are living like a local. They do […] have daily cleaning services, but you don't have all the amenities of a hotel. I loved it! Read more

Close to Metro station of Jaume I, next to Cathedral. You can hear the bell of the church, walking distance to port and marina. Convenient location near by restaurants, cafes, shops. We stayed 4 nights at top floor with two bed rooms. One nice feature, we had direct access to our personal elevator from our room. I liked it very much. Front desk (reception) […] is small and check in process is slow. But check out, just leave your key in room, that's it. Read more

Property is well-located in the Barri Gotic. Service was slow, but the people were helpful. I'd stay there again just for the location. Bring ear plugs --- it's noisy at night.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel (apartment actually) is very well situated. It was clean and relatively modern, and the staff was helpful and pleasant. There really is no lobby per se. Around the corner from the door to the apartment there is a very small office that handles registrations and checkouts. You can leave your luggage there but it is very cramped. My biggest […] complaint is that I thought it was very overpriced for what you get. I was told there was a Formula I race in Barcelona which might have contributed to the pricing the weekend I was there. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

Fantastic location! You can walk to everything Picasso museum, Dali studio museum, cathedral of Barcelona, la rambla, el born ( our favorite). Also on the list is casa mila and all things gaudi. Barri gothic is a loud place at night but if you dontmind people singing under your window and random shouting then this is the place for you. Staff was absolutely […] wonderful! For a short stay it was fun apartment. Read more

We were very disappointed with this hotel. There were three of us staying in what we thought was going to be a one bedroom suite. Upon arrival we were surprised to be sharing one room with a cot for the third guest with us. The cot was extremely uncomfortable, and broke on the first night. The pictures illustrated a balcony with views, although our […] room had a terrace with concrete walls blocking any view. On a positive note the employees at the check in were very friendly and kind . I will never stay here again. Read more

Great location, nice and clean room, very helpful staff. The building has a lot of old charm. The only minus is the noise on the street at night. Bring ear plugs:)

Genuine Expedia guest review

We really enjoyed staying here. The location was great, the staff was very helpful and accommodating. The only drawback was parking, since we had a car with us. Parking garage was expensive, but overall was worth it.

The locatio of the apartment is great. But they have terrible customer service. Two of my chargers exlploded while I was trying to charge my Iphone, and they refused to refund one of my charger. They said it was my fault, but I did not have any problems with my charger in Spain and one of the charger was the real apple charger. Be really careful with […] your electronics in this apartment. Plus side ; great location, clean apartment. Great if you don t have electronic device. Read more

I stayed two nights in Apartments in Barcelona Gothic- Jaume I with my sister and wished we could have stayed longer! The apartment's location is GREAT, very safe and close to everything. The staff were also great and very informative. We loved the room, perfect size for us two complete with everything one would need (everything for cooking in a small […] kitchen), very nice bathroom, plus had a great little balcony!!! The only one compliant was that our internet didn't work (but who needs internet when on vacation!) Would recommend and can't wait to go back for a longer stay! Read more

great location. staff is unhelpful.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

My wife and I (both in our late 40's) stayed here for 4 nights. While it is true that the aparment does not have a lift, the staff did carry our bags up to the apartment. We rather liked the character that the stairway had. The location is outstanding, in the center of the Gothic quarter and with the tube just a couple of blocks away. Having a kitchenette […] enabled us to buy groceries and eat in a few times. Overall a great experience! Read more

We arrived in Barcelona at 7:00 am. We were able to leave our luggage at the front desk and enjoy begin our vacation. The hotel is central close to subways to Cathedral, Ramblas and a few subway stops from La Familia Sagrada. The staff was very friendly and attive to our needs.

this was just what I thought it would be lovely small apt with great location and room to have breakfast, glass of wine while enjoying walking around the city. If you are looking for 5star USA type hotel this is not for you, but if want in town reasonable price place to stay while seeing the sights is perfect. we had three people and had not problem […] with space.

The best part about this hotel was its convenient location, half a block from the Jaume I metro station in the Gothic quarter. Another plus was the relatively large room with kitchenette, roomy enough for two adults and a teenager. This was unit #8 on the 4th floor. Other rooms might be different sizes. Some people have complained about a difficult […] staircase and lack of an elevator. My room, at least, was served by an elevator, so I didn't use the stairs. Not sure whether all rooms can be accessed by elevator. The biggest drawback was noise. Each evening around midnight, garbage and street cleaning trucks came through. It sounded like they were in the room with me! Also, loud people in the streets and bars near the hotel could be heard well past midnight, even on weeknights. On Friday and Saturday, they were amazingly loud, as if a frat party were going on right in the room. Read more

It takes 5 flights of stairs to reach our '3rd' floor room. It was a nightmare to navigate the single person spiral stairs with a backpack and a suitcase.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Barcelona is a charming city, but very densely populated. Apartment is tiny, but charming and has everything that you need - small refrigerator, hair dryer and micro wave. Our room even had a tiny balcony that we used for breakfast and drinks. Location is convenient to metro, small grocery, even an organic grocer, beautiful pastry shops. Lovely cobblestone […] streets and very safe neighborhood with lots of great restaurants and tapas bars. The only drawback to this lovely aprtment is the noise level from the street. You will hear noise all night long and forget holiday or sporting events, plan to run the air-conditioning or the kitchen fan to drown out the sound. The beds are platform, very hard and creak when you move. The staff is warm and friendly, they will help you plan out trips and suggest places to eat. Be aware that the office is only staffed 10 AM to 3AM and the office is around the corner from the apartment address, so checking in can be a bit confusing. Cathedral is nearby, you can walk to the beach, and Las Ramblas. Don't miss La Boqueria, a fabulous market for fish, fruits and vegetables as well as great places to eat. Would stay here again. Good value for the money. Read more

I found a bit over-priced but location was golden. It is right in downtown location with tons of great cafes and shps around. Only complaint is the deadly spiral staircase. Not only it's a safety hazard, also it's quite impossible to bring heavy bags to your room and there's no elevator what so ever! If you want to live like a local when you travel […] aboard like me, this could be excellent stay. This is literally an apartment in tight city neighborhood. Walking distance to everywhere, including sea side, rambra & traditional market. Reception is almosr non-existence since this is more like an apartment rental, not a hotel. For example, no sheet has been changed during stay. Read more

This is the second time we have stayed at Jaume1 in Barcelona. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the apartment is clean and modern. The location is in the Gothic section and close to Las Ramblas. We appreciated having the kitchenette and balcony. Judy D,/U.S.A.

Loved the location but the bed was terrible. Checking in was a challenge due to the arrogance of the guy checking us in. I found.him rude as well. Too many choices in this area to be treated that way!

Arrived to be told that the building we had booked had suffered water damage. The substitute room we were provided was poorly maintained with cobwebs and dusty furniture. The room was accessed by elevator and at one point, a staff member entered the room without notice.The desk clerk took a phone call after greeting us and kept us waiting for five minutes […] while she engaged in that phone conversation. At that point I interrupted and asked if she would please complete our transaction and put the call off in the interim. She did then tell the person on the end of the line that she had a customer waiting and had to go. Hung up then told us it was her boss calling and she had to take the call. Read more

The little apartment we were in was fine, the staff very friendly and helpful, but for the price the room could have been better. Great shower, kitchen was a toaster and a microwave - i had expected more than this but it did us fine. Good location, but really anywhere around the old city or close to Plaza Catalunya is likely to be a good location. All […] up it was fine for our first few nights in Spain, but on being here longer have discovered there is so much better value for money. My intention here is not to complain, but just to help others with their accommodation choices. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

For the amount they charge per night the room given was small, the kitchen appliances were poor and the door into the room narrowly misses the bed. We were luckily on the first floor, the stair case is a death trap, if you have a big case or want to drink at night, I wouldnt recommend staying here. It isnt in a bad location, however the main desk is […] on a different street which may be difficult for some people to find. The room was clean atleast.. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

No doubt it is a beautiful city. The narrow staircase made it unpleasant to go to the room as often. The room is way to expensive for the condition. No toilet treats were offered and coming into the room twice in a week was a bit to much, not to stay in the hotel again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We had high expectations for the apartments. When we arrived the room was clean and just like the photos online. Also the location is fantastic, walking distance from las ramblas and many other attractions. However, the helpfulness of the staff was poor and it was very noisy during the evening for cleaning trucks/garbage trucks drive through during […] the night, and screaming people frequently walked by. In addition, the Internet only worked for about one hour for our whole four night stay, and when we asked the front desk about it they didn't much. Also, beware of the showers, they change temperature from scalding hot and cold randomly, and the hot water runs out quickly. Read more

The apartments-in-Barcelona are a great way to spend a few days in this magical city. The location is superb. You cannot go wrong: away from the noise of Las Rambles, yet very near the best spots of Barcelona. We saw 3 different apartments. One was at the very top, the loft. It was nice to have a terrace, but the climb upstairs was pretty steep, and […] the room was very small. Other apartment was bigger, but with 2 beds, instead of a double-bed. The last aparment/studio had a huge double bed, sofa and plenty of space. Read more

Good location close to many tourist attractions and within easy walking of many others. Comfortable studio with balcony overlooking the street. Helpful staff.

We got given quite a big apartment which was lovely and clean. The room was very modern and the building old but pretty. The staff, Raj and Chanda, were friendly and helpful. The apartment was in a great location so we were close enough to everything going on but just off a side street so found some great pubs off the beaten track, the previous reviews […] we read said it was noisy at the apartments but even with the festival on we didn't hear any outside noise. I would stay here again. Read more

Great central location, room was cleaned every day and staff were friendly. Only issues were that the TV in the room didn't work and our room didn't have a balcony which we understood it would do from the description.

Genuine Expedia guest review

staff were lovely and friendly and WOW the apartment is in a good location: less than a minutes walk to a metro station and five minutes walk to la ramblas. plus it has a balcony where you can eat all your meals and look down at the street and watch the daily drama of human lives unfold. for example: we saw one painter/decorator driving up this tiny […] tiny street and trying to park on it and it was obviously a struggle and this old guy was watching him and looking disapproving. and then two guys carrying a fridge had to get past him so the painter/decorator had to repark his car in the tiny tiny street and then he (the painter/decorator) had to climb out of the car in a really awkward, hilarious to watch way. also the shower was PHENOM.

good location ...within walking distance to the sights of the old town. Close to subways. Only draw back in the street noise when the club crowd empty out early in the morning.

We stayed in Juame 1. The apartment was clean, fresh sheets and towels supplied every day. The service was excellent even though we arrived at 11pm. The amenities in the apartment were good - refrigerator, air con, hair-dryer etc. The apartment was ideally located in the gothic quarter within walking distance to the beach and port area and the La Rambla […] area. Although it is hard to find, our taxi driver was not sure where it was. Overall, would highly recommend to anyone going to Barcelona. Read more

Now I understand why they call them the Apartments. Each one is very different and spread out over Barcelona. The Gothic-Jaume I apartment/room we stayed in was very difficult to get to. It was in a dark alley with a very tight spiral staircase up to the 3rd floor. There wasn't any soap or shampoo in the bathroom. I've had cleaner places for a lot cheaper. […] Wasn't worth the money.

The price is right for a room here...it is in a good location close to the Metro and within walking distance of most of Barcelona's historical sites, markets and the sea.

The Wifi needed to be reset for us but […] that was the only technology glitch. Overall, we were very happy with our experience here. Read more
