Beyoo Marina - Residència d'estudiants a Barcelona

I stayed here for one year. tldr: too expensive for what you get. I would definitely recommend other options in the city. Pros: The rooms are small, but comfortable (you even have your own bathroom). The gym is accessible 24/7. The pool and the view from the rooftop are amazing. The staff was very friendly and tried to be as responsive as they could. You can meet some friendly people and share time with them. Cons: Almost by design, there is no accountability on the use of shared spaces. On multiple occasions I had to deal with people who left a mess after using the kitchen. You can complain on the WhatsApp groups, but there is no real action the staff can take to reduce this behavior (e.g., leaving the space dirty or taking others' food). The pool is not actively cleaned off-season (only mid-Spring and Summer). The quality of the cleaning service varies by week. The gym is alright, but if you want proper equipment you are significantly better off by signing up on a real gym. Laundry services are not included and are quite expensive. One elevator never worked and was actively being repaired for almost the entirety of my stay. As mentioned by other reviews, the refund of the deposit is a hassle. They are quick for charging you, but very slow to refund you.

Cons: Plumbing- Toilets are always breaking ( wont flush) The shower’s temperture fluctuates way to much, one moment its scolding hot and will literally burn you, or it will become freezing cold. Bathroom is freezing, bathroom always had a weird stench to it eversince i first moved in, friends have had similar experiences. Electricities - The Air conditioning breaks often, leaks water and the elevators kept breaking down Kitchen (my experience)- The kitchen is smelly and dosnt have a TV, and didnt have a couch for awhile. The staff practically never replaced the soaps and sponges. Pros: Some nice staff Met really nice students living here P.S. pls do not trust the five star reviews..

I stayed at Beyoo Marina and it was perfect for someone new to the city. The location is very calm and pleasant, very close to the metro and also close to supermarkets, which made daily life really easy. Overall, it was a great experience, and the staff were very kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend it.

I stayed in Beyoo two years ago and still have nightmares about it. Avoid at all cost. I agree with every bad review posted. Definitely not a safe place for women to stay. And the overnight security will scream at you for no reason.

I would not touch this place with a stick if I didn’t have too. I don’t often leave reviews, Beyoo Marina is the most revolting student accommodation I have ever had the under privilege to step foot in. For the almost, 20,000$ I am paying to be abroad with this as my student housing is so unbelievably frustrating. First of all, my first week they changed my sheets and gave me someone’s bloody used sheets/the maid bled on my sheets and didn’t change them. I originally sent this to my program coordinator who then had someone come change them, but it’s still just unbelievable someone’s bodily fluids on my sheets. Spiders. Bugs. There are bugs in my room. As you can see they’re are spiders who crawl in the window frame i’m assuming, and have attacked me MULTIPLE times. This is enough as is for me personally, as I feel the bare minimum for a human being to rest in a room, is for it to not be infested with a species other than myself. In summary, this place sucks. I would never pay my own money to be here, I already feel bad as is for my parents paying for me to be here. No sense of community. You share a kitchen with 10 other people. If you are a student studying abroad, I am telling you you need a kitchen in your apartment and learn from my mistakes. Do not stay here.

Overall an awesome place to live but they could invest in more washing machines and dryers with the prices they are charging, honestly it’s such a hassle timing it right to find an empty machine to do your laundry because there’s only 5 washers and 5 dryers for all the rooms; furthermore they could invest in more gym equipment and the upkeep of the play areas. Edit- I moved out after living at the place for 1 year, they did invest in new machines and now there’s 8 washers and dryers, they also renewed the facade of the buildings but the rent did climb up over 1000 euros for the regular room that I lived in

I'm a resident of Beyoo Marina since september last year and I only have good things to say about it. The location is great and the staff is very friendly in helpful, in special shoutout to Maria José and Arancha

I have stayed here for 2 months and I will say the initial stay experience was revolting. I went to my room, which I specifically paid for A/C, and the A/C was broken. Moreover, the window was broken, I had recurring power outages, and there were bugs and the staff has been extremely rude towards me regarding these issues. Furthermore, Housekeeping keeps neglecting to clean my room and provide me with towels so I can shower. Every time I ask a question each receptionist provides a different answer. One of the vending machines is constantly broken and taking money even though they keep restocking it with items. DO NOT waste your time coming here, the location is convenient but so are many other housing options surrounding Beyoo. Even the receptionist named Eve has given me attitude regarding my valid discomfort. The only good work is Claudio!

I spent 2 nights here while visiting Barcelona. The accomodation is cheap and quite close to a metro station. The staff is nice and helpful and free wi-fi connection is very good, but: - the lift was out of order several times and there was no information about that, - there was no information about the fact, that the pool was not accessible by lift (you need to take a lift for 7th floor and then use stairs), - hotel claims that the cooking lounge is fully equipped - well, it's not. There is no kettle, you need to boil water in a pot. There are no kitchen towels, no bread knife, etc. - rooms are extremely tiny and 2 people can hardly move at the same time, bathrooms are even smaller. I wouldn't recommend, unless you are really on a budget.

THIS PLACE HAS BED BUGS. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I stayed here for six months at the residence section while I studied abroad. I had weird bites all of my body from the first week I arrived at Melon. I hoped they were just mosquito bites and assumed the cleaning staff would have known if there were bugs, since they claim to clean the rooms each week. But they missed the GIANT INFESTATION living under my mattress. After I saw them up close and personal, I told the administrative staff and I cannot describe just how rude and incompetent they were. They never once apologized. They moved me into the hotel section and then made me pay for two fumigations: my original room and the room they moved me into. I wasn't the only person in my program to have bed bugs either. This place is disgusting.

The Melon District Marina Hotel was where we recently stayed on our trip to Barcelona. This is a complex made up of 4 interconnected buildings. Some of which is used as student accommodation for students doing semesters abroad. I liked : The price - offered great value for money, slightly dearer than most of the pensions, and much cheaper than a lot of other hotels. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Rooftop pool and bar (open until 10pm). Free WiFi - which had a great connection like. Free luggage drop - we had to check out by 11, but our flight wasn't until the evening so we were given a ticket and picked our bags up later. It's a 2 min walk from the Marina metro station. Not so keen on : The size of the room - it was tiny, but it was just somewhere to sleep. While the room was clean, it was beginning to get a little tired looking - a quick coat of paint would be a good idea. I would definitely use this hotel again next time I'm in Barcelona.
