It is listed as a non-ensuite unit within a branded independent house. At the time of data collection, the property carried tags: furnished, new, featured, and not_available.

Who This Residence Suits – and Who Might Prefer Alternatives
Suitable for:
- Travellers or students who prioritise rooftop amenities. One reviewer praised the “awesome rooftop pools” and “spacious room layout like a dorm”. If you value shared social spaces and a vibrant atmosphere, the rooftop pool area may be a draw.
- Short-term stays with a flexible budget. The deposit of €360 is moderate. The property is furnished and described as “new”, which could appeal to someone looking for a temporary base while searching for a more permanent arrangement.
- Those comfortable with a lively neighbourhood. L’Eixample is central, with many restaurants, bars, and shops. However, note that more than one review mentions noise from the street and the building itself.
Less suitable for:
- People who require quiet for studying or sleeping. A 2-star review explicitly states: “Doors are super thin, you can hear every single footstep in the hallway.” The same reviewer also mentions that quiet hours were not enforced.
- Those expecting high cleanliness standards. A 1-star review describes cleaning services as “really bad” and notes that “kitchens are dirty and sticky”. The cleaning fee at checkout can be up to €200, which felt forced to that reviewer.
- Budget-conscious tenants who dislike compulsory fees. The same review mentions a non-optional cleaning fee: “either cleaning or €200!” This could be a hidden cost.
- People who want reliable maintenance. The 2-star reviewer reported an AC leak that was not fixed after three requests, and issues with water pressure and temperature in the shower. If prompt repairs matter to you, this may not be the best fit.
- Those concerned about safety and security. The 1-star review advises: “Don’t leave your valuables in the room. Noisy neighbourhood. Close to most problematic area of the city.” While individual experiences vary, this warning should be taken seriously.
What Residents Actually Say
Three Google reviews are available in the dataset. Two are negative and one is positive. We quote them verbatim.
Dee J (5 stars):
“Great hotel! Awesome rooftop pools. Spacious room layout was like a dorm. No complaints! Like the vibes.”
Ieva Surantas (2 stars):
“Negatives: Doors are super thin, you can hear every single footstep in the hallway. The AC started leaking and no one fixed it even thought I asked 3 times. The water pressure and temperature regulation in the shower is horrible. The pool is only 2ft deep… Little effort was put in to maintain quiet hours, I was woken u”
No Uso (1 star):
“Avoid if you can. Horrid staff. Really bad cleaning services, which is unfortunately not optional, either cleaning or €200! Cleaning fee at the checkout. Don’t leave your valuables in the room. Noisy neighbourhood. Close to most problematic area of the city. Kitchens are dirty and sticky.”
The contrast between the 5-star and the 1/2-star reviews suggests inconsistency in management and maintenance. The positive review focuses on the rooftop pool and room size, while the negative ones list noise, cleaning, staff attitude, and maintenance issues.
Price Positioning vs Barcelona’s Student Housing Market
Barcelona’s student housing market for the 2026/2027 academic year starts from approximately €250 per month for a shared room in a private house or student residence (indicative — confirm with the operator). However, the dataset does not provide a specific price for C/ De La Diputació 113. The deposit of €360 is typical for mid-range properties in the city.
Without the exact rent figure, we can only compare the deposit to the city’s from-price. If the monthly rent were close to the €250 starting point, the deposit would equal about 1.4 months’ rent, which is reasonable. If the rent is higher (common in L’Eixample, a central district), the deposit may represent a smaller fraction. You should request a full price breakdown before committing.
The property is located in L’Eixample, an area known for its grid layout, wide avenues, and high concentration of apartments. Student housing options in this district often cost 10-20% more than the city average due to centrality. Keep in mind that the negative reviews mention extra costs (cleaning fee up to €200) that could add significantly to your total spending.
Room Type and Booking Considerations
The unit is listed as “non_ensuite” within a “branded independent house”. This means the bedroom does not have its own bathroom — you would share a bathroom with other tenants. The property likely includes shared kitchen and living areas. The “branded independent house” tag suggests it is managed by a company or organisation (not a private landlord), but it is not a traditional student hall.
Because the property is currently marked as “not_available” in the dataset, it may not be open for bookings for the 2026/2027 year. Availability can change rapidly. If you are interested, check directly with the operator. The following timeline tips apply generally:
- For academic year 2026/2027: Barcelona student housing typically opens for applications between November 2025 and March 2026. Early booking (by June 2026) often secures better prices and more choice, though this property’s future availability is uncertain.
- For short stays: Some operators release rooms 2-3 months before move-in. If you are looking for a stay starting in late 2026, monitor the property page from mid-2026.
Given the mixed reviews, it is strongly recommended to arrange a virtual or in-person viewing before making any payment. If a viewing is not possible, ask the operator for a video walkthrough and recent photos.

What is the deposit and what does it cover?
The deposit is €360 (indicative — confirm with the operator). Typically, a deposit covers damage beyond normal wear and tear.

How does this property compare to other options in L’Eixample?
Barcelona’s L’Eixample district has many student housing options. The from-price for the entire city is €250 per month. In L’Eixample, rents tend to be higher. This property’s main positive is the rooftop pool and spacious rooms, but the low Google rating (3.9) and negative reviews about noise, cleaning, and maintenance suggest you may find better value elsewhere. Compare with other properties that have higher ratings (4.0 or above) and clearer policies on cleaning fees.
