Residence Overview & Location
SPC 43205 is a student residence located in Reus, a city in the Tarragona province of Spain (address: Tarragona, Spain). With a Google rating of 4.1 out of 55 reviews, it offers a mixed but generally positive reputation among past residents. The residence comes with two listed amenities: WiFi and laundry facilities. Availability starts from 1 September 2026.
Reus is a mid-sized Catalan city, known for its modernist architecture and as the birthplace of architect Antoni Gaudí. It is well-connected by train and bus to Tarragona (about 15 km) and Barcelona (about 100 km). While the dataset does not list any specific universities, Reus is home to several campuses and research institutes, including branches of the University of Rovira i Virgili. Students studying in Reus or commuting to nearby Tarragona may find this residence practical.
The exact location is given as “Tarragona, Spain”, which likely refers to the broader province rather than a street-level address. According to one resident, the residence is in the “center of the city”, which suggests good access to shops, public transport, and local amenities.
Who This Residence Suits
SPC 43205 appears well-suited for students or working professionals who value a central location and a quiet environment. The two positive Google reviews highlight these aspects:
“Good place good value, center of the city, new rooms!” – Olga Konecka, 5/5
“For work reasons I have stayed in this Residence and besides being a quiet, central and very welcoming place, it has reminded me of my university days.” – Francisco Javier CORTINA GOMEZ, 5/5
Based on these comments, the residence suits:
- Students who want to live in the city centre with easy access to everyday amenities.
- Those who prefer a calm atmosphere – the word “quiet” appears specifically.
- People looking for newly furnished rooms (the “new rooms” reference).
- Short-term stays for work or study purposes – the second reviewer stayed for work reasons and felt it was welcoming.
The availability from September 2026 aligns with the typical academic year in Spain, so it is likely targeting students starting their semester.
Who This Residence Does Not Suit
The one-star review raises serious concerns about customer service and cleanliness:
“They don’t answer the phone, they don’t respond to emails. You go to visit them in person and the treatment is rude and lacks manners. The staff should improve their customer service if they want to attract residents. The cleanliness is clearly lacking after just a brief walk around the center. For all these reasons, I” – Carlos Romeu, 1/5
This review suggests the residence may not suit:
- People who expect responsive, friendly management – the reviewer experienced poor communication and rude treatment.
- Those with high cleanliness standards – the reviewer noted visible lack of cleanliness in common areas (though “around the center” might refer to the building’s common spaces rather than individual rooms).
- International students who rely on email or phone support before arrival – if issues are not resolved promptly, it could cause stress.
Additionally, the residence has only two listed amenities (WiFi and laundry). If you require a gym, study rooms, or a common kitchen, you should confirm directly with the operator whether these are available. The dataset does not mention them.
Because the residence’s price is not provided (min_price and max_price are null), it is impossible to say whether it offers good value compared to alternatives. One reviewer described it as “good value”, but without a baseline figure, you need to check current pricing.
Price Positioning & Room-Type Guidance
The dataset does not include any price information for SPC 43205. The city of Reus also has no “from-price” listed among the available properties (city_from_price is null). This means we cannot compare the residence to the local market average.
What we can say:
- The residence likely charges rent monthly (price_duration: “monthly”).
- No deposit amount is recorded.
- The unit types array is empty, meaning the specific room configurations (single, double, en-suite, studio) are unknown.
Guidance for room type enquiry: When contacting the operator, ask about:
- Types of rooms available (shared vs private, bathroom type).
- Whether the listed WiFi and laundry facilities are included in the rent or have extra charges.
- Whether bills (electricity, water, gas) are included.
Since the city has only two properties in total on the platform (city_property_count: 2), students have limited options in Reus. This could mean the residence has less competition, but also that you should act early to secure a spot.
Booking Timing
Availability opens on 1 September 2026. If you are planning to start your studies or work in September 2026, you can begin booking from now (mid-2026). The residence has received 55 Google reviews, indicating it has been operating for some time, so it is an established option.
Given the negative review about unresponsive staff, it is advisable to:
- Visit in person if possible to assess cleanliness and meet the team.
- Confirm booking procedures via multiple channels (phone, email, and possibly a third-party platform that facilitates booking).
- Ask for a written confirmation of all terms, including cancellation policy.
If you are an international student, ensure you have a backup plan in case communication breaks down after arrival.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the residence close to universities in Reus?
The dataset does not list any universities. However, Reus hosts several faculties of the University of Rovira i Virgili, notably the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and the School of Engineering. The residence is described as central, so it is likely within walking distance or a short bus ride from most campus locations. You should verify the exact distance to your specific institution with the operator.
What are the common complaints and how reliable are the reviews?
The residence has a 4.1 Google rating from 55 reviews, which is decent but not outstanding. The sample of three reviews shows two very positive and one strongly negative. The negative review about poor service and cleanliness is a red flag, especially if you cannot visit beforehand. However, the positive reviews also exist. Given the small sample, it is wise to take both extremes into account and ask current residents if possible through social media or student forums.
Can I book for a semester only, or is a full academic year required?
The dataset shows min_lease as null, meaning the minimum rental period is not specified. It could be flexible. You should ask the operator whether they offer short-term contracts (e.g., 3–6 months) or only full-year leases. The fact that one reviewer stayed “for work reasons” suggests short stays are possible, but confirm directly.
