“Caputxins is not what it seems”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2011
2
people found this review helpful

The service from the letting company was excellent and the flat Caputxins was of a high quality internally a major downside is the location of the property or really the 3 night clubs opposite (Queen Vic, Jerusalem and another club but through lack of sleep the name escpaes me) that appear harmless during the day posing as restaurants but this is not the case they are night clubs. I would not recommend Caputxins or this location for families even with teenagers with continuous noise all night from 10.00PM to around 5.00AM (not mild but extreme noise).

As previous reviews have highlighted and i only wished i had seen them before i booked fantastic location but the street where the Caputxins is located becomes a circus between 10.00PM - 5.00AM. The clubs clearly host an organised tourist club craw, so every hour or so up to 40 drunk teenage drinkers in convoy turn up queue outside the clubs whooping up a storm waiting to stampede in to the clubs then 30 minutes later out they poor on to the street to move to the next club, yes you guessed it, right next door to the first club. This goes on all night in shifts. The just as it goes quite at around 5.00AM the rubbish men turn up crashing bins about. The only time you can sleep in the flat is between 6.00AM and 10.00AM.

As i watched the circus unfold everynight from the balcony in Caputxins i could only wonder how the permanent residents cope. I stayed from Monday to Friday and it was all week every night.

I would only recommend Caputxins to clubbing party animals that would not be in the flat between the hours of 11.00PM - 5.00PM as they would be out clubbing.

I would like to add this review should no way reflect on the letting agency whose service was excellent but it must be said there is NO INFORMATION on the web site during the booking process explaining these issues and giving any clue what families who book to stay here are letting themselves in for. I returned shattered from the trip through lack of sleep so in a way it did ruin the holiday for us.

It should clearly state on the web site Caputxins is NOT SUITABLE for families due to the night clubs opposite.

Thx

Justin

“Some good and some awful”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2010

person found this review helpful

We stayed at the apartments for five nights between Christmas and New Years.

First the good--the apartment itself was nice with two bedrooms and two baths. It is clean and fairly modern with a compact kitchen that is great for breakfast and simple dinners but with only two burners and no oven you should not get too ambitious. It is also nicely located near to the Ramblas.

Now the bad. We were on the fifth floor but both my wife and I were woken up constantly between 1 and 5 AM by various drunks passing yelling, singing, etc. This happened every night so I do not think this was just a holiday item. They also pick up the dumpsters out front including the one filled with glass just about every morning between 4:30 and 5:30 in the morning.

So, despite a nice apartment I would never go back.

“We loved our Apartment!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2008

I arranged for a girls weekend to Barcelona and I'm so glad we chose the Caputxins as our base.

Six of us shared the apartment, and there's plenty of space, great kitchen and balcony. All of the furniture, decor and equipment is very new and modern. There are 2 bathrooms with powerful showers. Though do watch the hot water if you are all trying to get ready to go out together.

We arrived early and were able to check in straight away and simiarly on departure we could keep our room until 2pm which was really handy. Also, we kept our cases until 6pm at the offices nearby. Christopher, on reception, is really helpful.

The apartment block is just off of the Ramblas, so is in an ideal location. Only downside we found was it could be a bit noisy at night with other guests returning to their apartments.

We had a fantastic time in Barcelona and would definitely recommend the Caputxins as a very comfortable base.

5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 February 2008

What a gem- apartment was fabulous...the staff was very friendly. We arrived early and checked out late and they were only happy accomadate us. Can't say a bad thing about the place. Very centrally located on a side street off Las Ramblas- across from Hotel Gaudi. Would highly recommend!

“Caputxins Apartments were excellent!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2008

person found this review helpful

I booked 3 apartments for 2 nights at the Rambla dels Caputxins Apartments in Barcelona and I could not have been more pleased with them. They were in an excellent location on a side street off La Ramblas so it was a perfect central location. The apartments were spotlessly clean and modern. Two of the apartments had balconies and the third looked out onto the road which was a little noisy but not enough to keep you awake at night. I would really recommend this accommodation and I will return here in the future. I booked with come2bcn.com and it was reasonably priced too!

  • Liked — Cleanliness and location
