This is a well located hotel with grocery stores right next door. If you need to make a long distance call go to the internet store around the corner. DO NOT USE THE HOTEL PHONE. They are very good at knowing the area and are very helpful. The kitchens are lacking in pots and pans and utensils. There was one pot and a frying pan. You need to be creative to cook. The breakfast is very good. Hope this helps you; enjoy your visit.

great deal! more than adequate room, nice and quiet. Further away from the center than I realized but still a pleasant neighborhood to return to after a craxy downtown experience. I wouldnt want to stay right in the middle of things Prices more reasonable in our neghborhood. Our friends were pick pocketed on the subway and the local police station is open 24 hrs........tons of people were there reporting these thefts..... our conclusion: with the massive amounts saved by staying here, why not take taxis?

We were so pleased with our entire stay at Aparthotel Calabria. The staff was professional, friendly and very helpful (fluent in English). The hotel was immaculate in cleanliness. Their breakfast buffet was delicious...lots of tasty choices. This was our second visit to Barcelona and we were thrilled with this hotel and location.

Il personale è gentilissimo e disponibile le stanza a noi assegnata al 7mo piano era pulita e spaziosissima anche se necessitava di qualche piccola manutenzione tutto ok comunque a parte il rumore dell'impianto di condizionamento(anche quando spento)un pò fastidioso sopratutto la prima notte. La zona è molto tranquilla anche la sera, la metropolitana è a due minuti a piedi. ci tornerei senz'altro.

Everything was very clean and nice in our room and at the hotel. The desk saff spoke english well however the cleaning staff did not. The breakfast was included and plentyful with staff on hand to replenish things. My two sisters and I stayed for 6 nights in a triple room which was supplied with more than enough shampoo and shower gel. They also included sponges, razors and toothbrushes but no face clothes. Your choice if you want new towels daily. The area was very safe even at night. There is a grocery store next door but not open on Sundays. The metro is 2 block away and ATM's are located in any direction from the hotel.

Great value for the money. Good breakfast. Located in residential area conveniently close to several key destinations and two blocks from the subway. Supermarket next door. Unfortunately noise carries over rather loudly from units above. We were woken up several times late at night by people walking around. Mostly Europeans including Spaniards, some with young children or teenagers, during our shoulder season stay.

Good location, away from the noisier areas of Barcelona, yet close enough to walk to nearly all of the main sights. Our party consisted of 3 people, but found the room although adequate for 2 people was very cramped for 3 people. We stayed 3 nights and the hotel provided a good base for our visit - nothing fancy, but good value for money.

This was a good 3* hotel in a good location near the subway. It was lovely to walk to many of the sights in the morning, and to take the subway home. Many cafes and restaurants near the hotel. Breakfast in the hotel was good, and with the supermarket next door, we made use of the small kitchen area. We will be going again, and will definately book into this hotel.

I strongly suggest you this hotel, 'cause ALL is really excellent,location,room's spaciousness/cleanliness,competence of employees,breakfast quality.I've been in Barcelona with my son and his friend and we were astonished. Now I give you some "advice":if you want a superlative Paella go to El Rey de La Gamba Pg.Joao de Borbò 46. If you want a "All You can eat" self at € 8,50 go to Port Neu, back to the port 50 mt. in the street on right of the Rambla.ABSOLUTELY AVOID THE TAPAS BAR NEAR THE OPERA THEATRE ON CARRER ST. PAU 2,poor food,extra-expensive,desagreeable owner.Try the Sangria of "El Bosc de les Fades"-Mueseo de la Cera on the Rambla. ENJOY YOUR STAY!!!

Excellent location, very close to metro and bus stops. Supermarket next door. Clean, spacious rooms, comfy beds. Small but smart bathroom. Abundant breakfast buffet. Small kitchenette with some plates and cutlery. No microwave, no teatowel or detergent. Electric kettle would be welcome. We reserved the apartment for three, but we had to repeatedly ask for bedlinen and towels for the 3rd person. Once our room door (next to elevator) was left open by the maid. I must admit, nothing has disappeared from the room. Would stay here again.

The room we were given had a balcony, large sitting area and a great shower.The kitchen was ok with plates, glasses, cutlery, pots, hotplates and fridge etc but no kettle, teatowel or dishwash. Towels were changed daily. When you visit Barcelona make sure you go on the tourist bus as it is fantastic.You will need a 2 day pass to see it all. Hotel was within walking distance of Los Ramblas and there is a supermarket right next door.

The Aparthotel Calabria was in an excellent location. I was able to grocery shop right on the same block, walk to many great restaurants, within 2 blocks of metro and felt safe in the area at all times of the day. The hotel staff were helpful and pleasant. They did take quite awhile to get my parents room ready when we arrived which was after the check in time stated. Otherwise, I would stay there again.

Great value for money at these apartments, they are huge and offer a good buffet breakfast. Reception staff were competent but not overly friendly. Location is a few metro stops away from the main attractions making it a great quite location to stay. Metro is cheap and reliable and runs till late at night so no problems moving around the city from this location. Would definately recommend it as it is rare to find such big rooms/apartments for this price in Europe.

We were very pleased with the aparthotel. It was a great value for the price. It was comfortable and two-three blocks walking from the metro. We took the Aerobus to Pl.Catalunya and the metro to Rocafort when we got there and took a taxi back to the airport. To catch the Aerobus, just walk outside the airport, bus stops are there & pay on the bus. You need euros. We felt safe in the neighborhood & on the metro. We would definitely stay at this place again and would recommend to anyone. The breakfast was included. Good selection of breads, baked goods, juices, and cereal. This is not a five star hotel, but if you are looking for clean, comfortable, convenient to the metro stay at a reasonable price, we highly recommend it. The beds & pillows aren't the greatest, but we were so tired at the end of the day, we all slept well. The internet was also free, which was a big deal for our 21 year old daughter. The front desk employees were always friendly & helpful everytime we asked for assistance. The pictures on Venere are representative.

A great aparthotel and a great stay. The room we got was nice, with a good balcony. When I´m traveling, I prefer to walk around the city than to watch TV, but I know a lot of people care about TV. So, it´s good to say you´ll find the smallest and oldest TV set ever. xxxxxx Um ótimo hotel. Ficamos em um quarto enorme, com uma varanda bacana. Claro que em uma viagem eu prefiro conhecer a cidade, mas sei que muita gente gosta de TV, por isso vai o aviso: o aparelho de TV era muito pequeno e velho.

The hotel's most valuable characteristic is LOCATION. Rocafort metro station is just a block and a half away; there's a VOIP calling cabin around the corner (international calls are really cheap), a laundry a block away, 2 supermarkets within 100 feet and a major traffic artery (Gran Via de Les Corts) within walking distance (really easy to catch a bus or a taxi). Plaza Espana is 1 metro stop away (ferrocarrils de la Generalitat); it's also a short ride to Sants Estacio if you need to ride long haul trains (Renfe). Location, location, location. Rooms would benefit from renovations, but that would increase the price; they're spacious, quiet and (at least mine) have natural ventilation (mine had a window overlooking the street). They also have a kitchen WITH a refrigerator. Breakfast is buffet and it's very complete. Free internet access (downside is there's only one PC but they also provide wi-fi if you bring your own). Bottom line is: These guys have a very good value for the money they charge (my wife and I paid 90 euros for a double room).

Nice hotel, not far from the metro station Rocaford (between 3 min and 5 min walking distance). The hotel room was very big more like a size of an apartment then a double room size. There was a kitchen in the room and several markets next door to the hotel, so it was also possible to prepare something by yourself for breakfast. The surroundings of the hotel were good and the stuff of the hotel was polite and spoke very good English. I recommend this hotel.

Good rapport quality/price. Decent size rooms, clean, no problems with noise. There's a double bed and a sofa which converts, ideal for families with small children. Kitchennete area, which we didn't use but again good to know. Small tub in bathroom + shower, lots of samples, so you can travel light. Excellent breakfast buffet. City centre is really very close - we walked into the centre in the morning and took the tube back, (only 3 stops) there's a station 2 minutes walk from the hotel. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this hotel to others.

Stayed here 13/9/07 for one night. Room 210. Paid 90 Euro prpn B&B. This was mainly an overnight stop while travelling from Ibiza to France rather than a visit to the city. The location is away from the centre and not near anything specific. But this makes it cheaper to stay at; anything comparable in the centre (eg La Rambla area) would be far more expensive. And public transport is efficient and easy to use, so the location is not a problem. This was an apartment, the room was spacious with good facilities and included a kitchen (which we did not use) and a lounge area within the room. The decor and furniture were rather dated, but still an appealing place to stay. Good air conditioning, good soundproofing from traffic noise. Breakfast starts at 7.30, we had to leave at 7.45 to catch a train. There was an extensive buffet, it was available at exactly 7.30, so we were able to have a quick breakfast in the time available. Barcelona is a pleasant city with several sights, but is very crowded with visitors - we prefer Valencia.

Stayed just before Christmas with my husband, our daughter and two grandchildren... found apartments to be excellent, only slight problem was hot water, the shower had to be run for over five minutes some mornings before hot water appeared, but other than that we had no problems, breakfast was plentiful,constantly restocked, and included something for everyone, you were made to feel very welcome.Metro access almost on doorstep was useful, it is within walking distance of the Ramblas and Montjuic but with the walking you will do in an average day a little help getting there and back is useful.Hubby and I had double apartment, and daughter stayed in a three bed apartment, both were clean comfortable and had a good selection of complimentry toiletries, two supermarkets next door to apartments made self catering easy if desired, also rooms had access to a fast food delivery service. We had a view over the side street, which was not stunning but fairly typical of Barcelona city hotels, daghters apartment overlooked supermarket carpark and overhung a flat roof, this was maybe quite thoughtful as we had a five year old in our party and it allowed the balcony to be used without worry. Would be happy to stay again.

We liked to have our first cup of tea/coffee in the room. The breakfast was marvelous. We were satisfied half the day with that breakfast. And we liked it was so near the city. Good communication too. And we liked the small restaurants in the surroundings. The cleaning of the room was good but why don´t you clean the balcony? Thank you for everything when we were confused.

Time in hotel was spoilt by builders on floor above, who were very noisy, drilling marble, and on scaffolds outside bathroom window from 9-6 each day. When complained to reception, the man on duty spoke very little English and was very rude about the situation. Other than this disruption the hotel was very clean, comfortable and within 5 mins of the metro station, though many places were within walking distance. Airport bus stop is, however, not 180m from hotel as stated on the webpage!

I was given a double bed in a service apartment with cooking facilities and a sitting room with a sofa. This is big enough for a small family.

This is the third time I have stayed in this hotel and I like it a lot - however I stayed there last year around this time and both then and this time there was work going on in the hotel which involved lots of hammering during the day. It seemed to begin at 9.30 each morning. This means that it is not possible to get a nap or maybe return to the room on a rainy day to relax and read etc etc. If work is being carried out guests should be warned in advance. I complained about the noise and I did not feel the receptionist was at all receptive. Surely Venere should have a policy that any hotel which intends to carry out work during the day should be required to notify guests in advance?

Good apartment for the price, especially with basic kitchen. not a scenic street but somewhere to stay. staff very helpful. supermarket next door. metro only a short walk then direct link to centre of barcelona. small balcony but no view as such from apartment though did not matter. 5 minute walk to place d'espanya and fountain display and then on to montjuc with castle etc. barcelona was never a quiet city but full of atmosphere and something for everyone.

very spacious, convenient re. proximity of metro stop, good breakfast, free internet access, yet a bit noisy with the building construction site in front of the hotel (but bearable). Would recommend it.

The hotel is clean and comfortable. My friends and I really enjoy our stay. The breakfast was such a good bargin (which was included with the room fee). With free internet access, we really don't have much to complain, except the thin wall in the room, which you can pretty much hear your next door neighbor. Oh, and DON'T ask the hotel to call a taxi for you. We got ripped off from the taxi driver, who overcharged us 10euro. Just step outside of the hotel and get a taxi on your own.

We stayed for 5 nights and were delighted with the hotel - the rooms were clean and spacious, with balconies. Fully equiped bathroom. Small kitchenette (no microwave or kettle - only 2 ring hob and fridge) Good location only a short walk to metro or bus. Huge supermarket next door, and other lovely shops nearby. We stayed in a room off the street which was quiet, altho at the front the hotel was quite noisy in the morning with building work and general traffic. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Located in the centre of Barcelona, the property provided excellent access to many beautiful sites at a walk distance as well as good access to public transportation. The hotel staff was friendly and professional. Bedding and towels were changed every day and the room floor got cleaned. The lobby and other public areas inside the hotel were clean and looked OK. Breakfasts were basic yet sufficient offering nice food. The only view offered by the apartment was to a back area closed by old ugly and poorly maintained buildings. In this closed area there was a basketball playground in bad condition. On the other side the apartment had windows to the water and sewage tube hub. The tubes generated noise every time some other occupants used the bathroom or flushed the toilet. Kitchenette was under equipped lacking even a bread knife, with no microwave oven, no oven or stove, no kettle or coffee machine and having an old slow food heater. No broom to clean around was available in the room so crumbs had to wait until next day room cleaning. The twin beds were lightweight, with too soft mattresses, sliding at every move. No English TV channel were available. Overall, the facility is an old building which needs renewal and modernization. As of now the only real advantage offered by this hotel is its location.

La nostra stanza era un po' rumorosa, soprattutto il rumore del condizionatore che "gorgogliava". La stanza dei nostri amici invece era perfetta. Personale cordiale, stanze ampie e zona ben accessibile, ve lo consigliamo.

We were visiting with our two year old and the kitchenette helped alot in preparing food for the little one. You have to remember that resturants open late in spain. A supermarket is really just downstairs. Reception and cleaning staff was very friendly and obliging. A baby-bed was provided as requested. The stove was not working, but got fixed within a day. Overall the room appearance and the furniture was a bit worn out. The breakfast was plentyful and helped through a large part of the day. Only drawback to report was the noisy construction site just across the street (Ask for a room not facing the street) Overall a good deal for the price (83E/night) at a good location.

Very good quality hotel, located close to Rocafort metro station. Rooms can be a little noisy, dont let this put you off -Great Value. You need a keycard to activate electrics in each room, so dont leave too much in the fridge when you leave the room, especially in summer!

The walls were thin and could not even watch TV at 10:45 in evening without next room knocking on wall--we are in our late 50´s, so we were not having a party.

3 people: husband, wife and friend. We loved it! WAY better than pictures represent!! WONDERFUL free breakfast, great bathroom and balcony. Nice rooms with everything you need- fridge, stove, closets, TV... AWESOME location just a short walk to Rocafort Metro stop on Line 1. Free internet! Nice place for VERY cheap! Remodeling some rooms which was noisy during our siesta, but quiet at night. Only complaint was my husband and I got two twins instead of one double- so we pushed the beds together. Best hotel I've booked so far in Europe!

The main concern was about noise occasioned by second floor restauration (Dec. 2005). All other aspects were very positively acknowledged and appreciated (brilliant breakfast, well located and car parking next building in particular).
