Description

Q:Why sleep in a dorm with 20 snoring strangers when you can have a Welcome Inn room for the same price!!??

A:???

The Welcome Inn offers backpackers, lovers, friends and groups the opportunity to chill out and relax in a large, typical retro-style Spanish Apartment right in the centre of Barcelona.

Its got the feel of an indie hostel, but you get a private room for the same price!

Proving especially popular with backpackers, students & couples, the Welcome Inn is a spacious and cosy retro-style apartment (reminiscent of the apt in the movie L'Alberge Espanyol) which has 6 private rooms (4 doubles and 2 triple/quad rooms) which comfortably accommodate all visitors to Barcelona in a friendly open environment.

All rooms have windows except for the Twin Room (green room in the photos) which has a lower price than the other rooms, so please be advised...

The pleasant living room area and fully-equipped kitchen make a great place to eat breakfast in the morning or start a night out in the evening with a few drinks and a bite to eat.

Trendy bars, cafes, the popular MACBA museum and international skateboarding hang-out, internet/telephone services, supermarkets, bars, and clubs, the Metro and the infamous Ramblas are all within easy walking distance.
There is an internet cafe below the hostel-apt that offers 30 mins for 50 cents ;-)

The large kitchen caters for all tastes, from coffee and toast to the visitor that likes to cook their favourite food even when away from home. There are 2 clean bathrooms to ensure there are no queues in the morning. A cleaning lady visits daily to ensure the place is in tip-top condition for all guests.

warning: not for the weak knee-d: the hostel-apartment is on the top floor of the building and there is no elevator unfortunately.

NEW: Ask about our city discount cards offering discount bike rentals, museum entrance, free entry to night clubs and free drinks in bars

WHEN BOOKING, please state your ARRIVAL TIME as the time you expect to arrive in Barcelona city centre. Add 1 hr to your flight arrival time for Barcelona Airport, Add 2 hrs for Girona/Reus flight arrivals

A really nice place for such a good price
Although located really close to la Rambla, we couldn't find the place on our first attempt. This was actually because of the weird street signs. Called the guy up fifteen minutes before arriving at Welcome Inn and he was on time. The street was poor and filthy and not too promising. Entered the main door which led to an old, soup smelling corridor. Up the stairs the smell was still there. Another hundred stairs and we were there! When the guy opened the door I couldn't believe such nice apartment could actually be in such an old horrible smelly house. The air was clear, everything nice and clean. Open kitchen made it all look very cosy. Our room was really nice. It is simple but contains everything you need. A wardrobe, sofa, bed, night table, en-suite bathroom. Someone here wrote that you need to bring your own towels and that the beds were bad. Well, we were given towels and the bed was absolutely fine. The only thing was that the walls are really thin so you could hear the cleaning lady pull about in the mornings. Also the pillows were not exactly most comfortable but it was all good. As our trip took place in December, there were not many people around that time. No noisy neighbours or anything. In one word the accommodation turned out to be the best thing about our trip. It is excellent value for money if you simply want a decent place to rest. I would definitely go back.

I wrote a comment right before this one thinking i got scamed cause i coud'nt find the place, well guess what we finaly did. Its a realy nice flat with a couple of rooms and a guest kitchen, people are very friendly and so is the guy that works there. the only thing is you have to make sure you CALL BEFORE YOU GET THERE, there is no reception someone has to meet you to give you the key.

Have you visited this apartment? Post your comments here.
