We are staying a good two weeks at the Libere and have an absolutely great apartment with terrace (room 602). The location is excellent, with all the attractions (including the beach at max. 45min walk through the vivid streets of beautiful Barcelona, where there are tons of nice little places to zip a nice Sangria and eat some Tapas. Libere offers additional cleaning (which we even find not really necessary, as all the needs to keep the place clean yourself easily are provided too), and the vibe having a wine on your own terrace is just fabulous. A quiet area, with a 24/7 grocery story in the opposite of the entrance, and also a very responsive and understanding reception at all hours available, to answer all questions or requests you may have. A truly wonderful place to stay in Barcelona; highly recommended!

We stayed twice either side of a weekend as we travelled to the UK, strangely we were in the same room both times Hotel in great location, just short ish walk to plaça CATALUNYA and metro stop Bedrooms large with nice big towels in the bathrooms Well stocked kitchen for, everything we needed for short stay We met Nina one of the staff who was very helpful Only downside is that rooms were too hot, our room was about 24 overnight (we know this as we have electronic device with us) that’s too warm for us to sleep, no point opening window to Main Street as it’s too noisy for sleeping at night, noise didn’t bother us with windows closed We were told room air control is in winter mode so it’s only heat not cool, but we could have a portable air con machine in our room if we wanted it/ asked for it - would one machine cool two bedrooms ? Anyway ….. My suggestion is that just let the guests decide what temperature to have, ditch the ‘winter mode’ and give us the ability to cool our rooms down/ have them the temperature each guests wants Being too warm resulted in us not having a good nights sleep, so can’t give 5 stars unfortunately On our trip to the UK, the hotel there let us control the temperature, so why not in this hotel ? Other than that, I would recommend this hotel and we would definitely stay again And the ease of using the smart phone to enter hotel/ room didn’t phase once we got used to it

“Clean new apartments in great neighborhood”

Brand new apartments, very clean and well laid out with coffee pods for the first morning included, and some nuts.

Brand new apartments, very clean and well laid out with coffee pods for the first morning included, and some nuts. Kitchen has a sponge, two dishwasher pods for our 4 day stay (plenty) and a two burner stovetop. There is a combo washer/dryer. We did need to ask how it worked as there wasn't any instructions. We tried looking the instruction up on our phone but kept getting the Spanish instructions. Friendly staff who quickly answer any questions via Whatsapp or the app. There is always someone on site, although Nina was the best as she sits out in the lobby so she is readily accessible and really seems to love helping guests. Entry is via keypad or your phone and very easy. There is an elevator that works well and storage lockers we used for a few extra hours after check out. The location is on a more quiet street (but Barcelona is bustling in the summer) in a great neighborhood within walking distance to the metro (200m), pastry shops- every corner, restaurants, pubs, the Rambla, and small grocery stores. There is a second city market smaller in size than the one on the Rambla, but easier to navigate about 1 km up the street. The furnishings are Ikea-like and being new apts, there are some issues they are still working through. The shower in one bathroom didn't have a rubber seal on the glass door bottom so the first shower got the floor very wet. Easy to mop up since tile. The four of us ended up using the shower in the primary bedroom which did have a seal the remainder of the trip. Unfortunately, the same shower/water issue must have occurred in the apartment shower overhead of us. Somehow, water leaked into the ceiling light of our shower from above and our first night was without electricity as it tripped the electrical circuit box for the whole apt. Nina was also fabulous about that and had an electrician out the next day, (Sat.) who was able to determine the issue and got the electricity back on. The apt has AC with a central control that works great. It may be motion-sensored as it did warm up a bit when were were out for the day, but quickly cooled it back off. Super helpful as Barcelona can get warm in the summer. The bed was average, but not over the top comfortable, but that is preference. Great stay!
