Residencia Universitaria La Ciutadella

Luis Blanco Rodríguez | Nov. 21, 2017

It has a very American style for Spanish university standards. It is used as hostel on the summers when students are not around, therefore do not expect a 5 star hotel treatment. It does have decent facilities due to the area. I would recommend it if you don't care about where to stay as long as it is clean.

I don't normally post reviews. But I wanted to do this while I was still here and had it all on my mind. I booked my stay a couple months in advance. It is my first time out of America, and my first time travelling alone. I booked myself a private room with a bathroom, kitchenette, and also free breakfast my entire stay. I am more than satisfied. The room was clean when I arrived. The bathroom and had a bath mat towel, body and hand towel. The bed only had one body pillow and some sheets but the room doesn't have ac so the sheets and the fan are more than enough. My shower head which is detachable has a nice strong water flow and even though the tub is so small I managed to take a bath the other night so that was fun. The kitchenette came with a drying/ wash cloth, sponge, dish soap, a bunch of basic cooking utensils, a pot, strainer, and pan. The breakfast is very simple. A mixture of sweet breads, and plain breads( wheat and white), a mix of cold meats and cheeses (like coldcuts), yogurts, cereals, milk, orange juice, coffee, tea, and water. It is enough to fill you up and they are constantly replenishing the food. Every morning there is a cleaning service, they don't do much; not to insult, but I personally find myself to be a very neat person so they might not have to do much. They make your bed and make sure you have toilet paper. I rented a bike and was allowed to lock it up in the back of the building every night! There's study halls and even a small gym but I'm getting plenty of exercise travelling around! Finally the staff at the main desk are multilingual. the desk is open 24 hours or around that, they are all very kind and are always open to questions. Oh and I forgot. This particular location is honestly perfect distance from everything. You can get around by bike to tons of major attractions and restaurants, and of course the beach. Even without a bike the beach isn't too far, 15 minute walk? And la parc de ciutadella is across the street and el arc de triomf is a couple blocks to the right. It's been awesome!
