Bottom Line

BCNGotic offers 13 mid-range apartments in the heart of Barcelona’s trendy Born district, just outside of the Barri Gotic. The apartments offer a taste of real life in the Catalan capital and have a modern, rustic charm, while a wide array of apartment sizes means that some units can sleep up to six people. The hotel doesn’t offer many services, but fully equipped kitchens make staying here a great value for tourists and long-term guests. Travelers looking for a full-service hotel in the Eixample can try Hotel Constanza, which has contemporary rooms with an on-site restaurant, though rooms are smaller and have higher rates than many of the apartments at BCNGotic.

BCNGotic

Scene

Authentic Barcelona apartments for tourists and long-term guests

The BCNGotic is housed in a recently restored, early 20th-century building with charming Juliet balconies that peek out onto the vibrant pedestrian scenes below. Inside, the vibe is relaxed, but it feels more like a normal apartment building than a hotel. There's no real lobby, just a red marble hallway that leads to a light-filled marble-and-iron staircase and an elevator. There is, however, an office on-site for check-in. Guests here include couples and families, though long-term business travelers make up the majority of guests, owing largely to the extra space and home-like character of the units.

Location

On a vibrant pedestrian street in trendy Born district

The BCNGotic is located on a bustling pedestrian lane lined with tapas restaurants, bars, and upscale shops in Barcelona’s trendy Born district. The Picasso Museum is a three-minute walk away while the Barcelona Cathedral and La Rambla are both eight minutes away on foot. La Ciutadella Park, a seven-minute walk from the apartments, has a zoo and plenty of space to run around. There are plenty of options for stocking the kitchens in the area. Boqueria Market -- the city’s most famous produce market -- is a 10-minute walk from the hotel, while the 24-hour Annie’s Market is just four minutes away on foot. The Jaume I Metro stop is just around the corner (two minutes on foot) for farther flung destinations. Reaching Barcelona’s El Prat International Airport takes 20 minutes by taxi or about 40 minutes by taking the metro to the Aerobus stop at Plaza Catalunya.

Rooms

Spacious apartments with full kitchens, washer/dryers, and separate bedrooms

The apartments at BCNGotic are notably spacious (especially by Barcelona standards), with plenty of room for families and groups. The simple, rustic charm of the spaces is enhanced by thoughtful details, such as potted flowers that complement the floral wall art in some of the two-bedroom units, though wall art is bright and attractive in all apartments. The overall vibe is home-like, and all units have neutral-tiled floors, modern oak-veneer tables and cabinets, 32-inch flat-screen TVs, and overstuffed furniture (including sofa beds in some units). Some also have charming terraces that are perfect for outdoor dining on warm nights, though none have particularly pretty views. 

Kitchens have a contemporary look and feel, and stainless steel appliances include microwaves, toasters, electric kettles, coffeemakers, and dishwashers. All units also have washer/dryers and safes. Apartments have lots of storage space and plenty of towels and linens, and while there's no housekeeping service, the hotel will change linens once at no extra cost. 

The dining areas are sleek and simple, though they often share space with the living rooms. Bedrooms are outfitted with Ikea-style white furniture and come with desks and/or wardrobes, and beds with colorful throw pillows and blankets. Cribs and high chairs are provided for families with young children at no extra cost. Bathrooms are impeccably clean, though some are more modern than others and they vary widely in size and configuration. Some have walk-in showers while others feature shower/tub combos.
