Reviews for Apart-Hotel Miramar
Review 1:The shower was poor, didn't work well and was much too high for me - 5ft tall. All the fittings - shelf, towel rail and pegs were too high for me to reach. The water in the bathroom took ages to heat and never got really hot, although it worked OK in the kitchen. There is no kettle in the kitchen so we had to boil. Water for tea in a saucepan in the only safe pan suitable. The apartment was adequate for our needs and comfortable but it was all a little bit shabby.
Review 2:The staff were friendly and very helpful. When we mentioned that the sink in our bathroom was blocked someone came to fix it the same day. A microwave and hairdryer were provided on request.
Review 3:Didn't get apartment booked and had trouble with hot water. Moved us to lovely newer apartment and compensated us for problems we'd had. Staff were amazing and really turned our stay into a great one. Would definitely stay there and would recommend if you want somewhere a bit quieter. Only 15 mins on train to Barcelona and we enjoyed shops and restaurants near apartment.
Review 4:Staff Adrianna and Joel were fantastic and very helpful. Made our stay very pleasant.
Review 5:The space in the apartment is very small, which seems to be the standard for Barcelona and Badalona. Although the bedsheets and towels were clean, the bed covers, sofa covers and curtains were filthy with dust and spots on them. This created a bad impression when we first entered the appartment. Our dustbins were emptied once in two days, not every day. These hygiene problems should not be there in a hotel that charges more than 100 EUR per night.
Review 6:Great location, near the sea and in the heart of the walking area of the town. Distance to train station: aprox. 10 minutes slow walking and another 15 minutes by train to the center of Barcelona. Parking was at the same premises and quite safe (inside a garage). Lots of shops in the street and the nearby streets, which are open till late, so practically you can buy food or water or whatever you need almost at any time. Drinking coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening in the balcony and watching the sea and the life in the little Prim street were memorable moments. Staff were nice and helpful, speaking English and offering indications. Overall Badalona is a nice place to stay for visiting Barcelona and at times relaxing at the beach, and Miramar aparthotel would be a great choice if solving the problems mentioned as negative aspects.
Review 7:Reception staff were excellent very pleasant and very helpful. Apartment was spacious and comfortable and kitchen had all self catering needs. Ideal location beside beach.
Review 8:A bit tricky to access from Girona Airport. Cab (going home) cost us 150 Euro!!!! The apartment and all in it was quite worn down. Didn´t like the smell of sewer, but we got used to it.
Review 9:Young people in reception very helpful. Great location by the beach and the vibrant boardwalk. Lots and lots of shops in very picturesque streets just 5 min away. Must go there!!
Review 10:Joel was outstanding in customer service during our stay, but he exceeded our expectations when he went the extra mile to help us retrieve our prescription bifocal sunglasses which we inadvertently left behind in our room. He shipped them to us in the United States and we received them without any problems. We give this hotel our highest rating with no reservations and we would stay there again.
Review 11:our apartment had windows towards street where there were noisy till late night and from the early so managing sufficient sleep was problematic. Pillows were also strange, narrow and hard. Air condition did not work, but it was not needed. so we didn't bather so much about this.
Review 12:wi fi and location at the beach in 30 min commute to city center. Well kept standard,
Review 13:poor kitchen equipment - no way to make coffee - you're forced to buy it from their machine. Living area very cramped; uncomfortable vinyl-covered furniture.
Review 14:good location
Review 15:Rooms facing front were noisy until 4am due to bars across the road. Rooms facing into the hotel suffered from poor sound deadening so noise from other apartments was disturbing.
Review 16:The helpfulness of the receptionist.
Review 17:no oven ...no toaster...no kettle..DVD not working change 3 times. TV no British channels BBC news or Sky news. shower flooding floor very slippery. old dirty chairs on balconey and table .
Review 18:close to beach
Review 19:Beware the pick pockets
Review 20:The staff were exceptional. The location was great. Badalona is not full of tourists therefore you are experiencing more down to earth holidaying and people.
Review 21:Old aluminium windows and patio doors onto balcony, offer no sound proofing. Lots of noise from local bar outside until the early hours. Smell of sewage from drains in the whole street. Dated décor in the apartment with artex walls.
Review 22:4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, spacious living area, close to beach and train station.
Review 23:Furnitures were so old. There are noise from climate mashine (compresor outside). On the front side of the street there are Tabac Store, and clients stay to 2,3 o'clock AM and make a lot of noise. The security roulletes were broken. Internet was very very poor. I have looked for a place with wifi but Miramar's was worst of all.
Review 24:Fantastic location! It was very easy to travel direction Barcelona. We used a car , it was like 10 to 15 minutes.
Review 25:The hotel was near the long promenade near the water. It was a 15 min. walk to the train station, but the promenade made it seem less. The trains to Barcelona ran about every 10 minutes.
Review 26:Nothing!
Review 27:The apart hotel suite was very clean spacious well set out and modern in design. Its location is excellent and situated near popular places to eat and drink. The receptionist was friendly, accommodating and very helpful.
Review 28:Booked a one-bedroom apartment, and were 'upgraded' to a 2 bedroom apartment. Extra BR was of no use to us though, and apartment fitout was quite old, and nothing like the photos on booking.com. The kitchen especially was old, pokey, and hot to use. Staff obligingly allowed us to change after the first night, into a one-BR apartment that was exactly the same as in the photos. However, the inbuilt aircon didn't work, the replacement freestanding aircon unit was way too noisy to run during the night and didn't cool the bedroom, the bedroom ceiling fan didn't work, the bathroom sink wouldn't drain properly, one of the window shutters (to keep noise and daytime heat out) didn't work, and there was no exhaust fan in the bathroom. We ended up feeling sorry we'd changed rooms - at least everything worked in the first one.
Review 29:Location convenient to Barcelona - just a 15 minute train trip. Train station a 10 minute walk away, along the beachfront. Beach only a couple of hundred metres from the hotel - great for a morning swim.
Review 30:The only negative is that that the wifi was inaccessible from my room with all my devices. I had to walk into the hallway towards the stairs to pick up signal. However, I was on vacation and not on my computer/phone very much so this was a small negative.
Review 31:The staff there is fantastic, both the front desk and the housekeeping. All of them are very nice and accommodating. Front desk always helped me find where I was trying to go and the housekeeping were always ready to help me with clean towels and help me get the sand out of the room from the beach the entire week. The apartments are a great size and come with everything needed for a longer stay such as dishes, glasses, silverware, etc... The balconies facing the street have an excellent view but smaller. The balconies on the other side are larger with just as good city views.
Review 32:-poor WIFI connection -during the night dog barking -TV with only one channel -no complimentary tea or coffee when we arrived late at night
Review 33:-location -near the shops and beach -staff -comfortable and clean apartment
Review 34:Although it was free, wi-fi was not strong enough. The rooms overlooking Prim street are quite noisy (there is a restaurant and moped parking just under the balconies), insufficient air-con. The balcony window in our room didn't lock, which I reported to the reception, but no response.
Review 35:Clean rooms and wonderful cleaning ladies happy to help you anytime, quiet beach, nice pedestrian presinct lined with palm trees and benches close to the hotel. Supermarkets and other shops within 4 minutes' walking time.
Review 36:Walls are like paper...no sleeping with noisy neighbours
Review 37:Very nice staff, perfect location, really only 2 minutes to sandy beach, Barcelona City Center is approximately 20 minutes
Review 38:the staircases and the reception were off putting on arrival but didnt matter once we were in the appartment.
Review 39:good location with very helpful staff. they attended to all our requests immediately.served it's purpose as we werent in it much. was glad of the air con and the cleaners were very good each day - even doing washing up that we left!
Review 40:No complain at all!
Review 41:Hotel location, a minute from the beach, close to the train station with trains to Barcelona every 10 minutes. Hotel/room very comfortable, room service "invisible" doing great job every day. Personnel very friendly and helpful all the time. Great deal with parking, located same place as hotel. Great deal, worth every cent.
Review 42:We booked at the last minute on the weekend of the MotoGP, so paid more than it was really worth. At the normal prices it would be OK.
Review 43:Good location close to the beach and restaurants. Friendly staff.
Review 44:The accomodation is very basic and the rooms are tiny.
Review 45:It is in a perfect location in Badalona.
Review 46:Close to the beach, restaurants and public transport. Cosy apartment with a fantastic balcony! Lovely and professional receptionists.
Review 47:Helpful staff, great location

Review 55:Not a great value for what you pay.
Review 56:Very close to the beach
Review 57:Location was excellent
Review 58:Love Badalona
Review 59:furniture and deco from the 50th, horrible colours and strange adaptation trying to keep old in good condition, splitting ink from window frames, difficult and old closing of windows and shades, parking costs extra, wifi costs extra, were expecting better for 100 Euros per night, reception most of the time closed during our stay, very impersonal
Review 60:receptionist very helpful, kitchen well equipped, apartment really spacy, too large even
Review 61:No plug in bathroom basin!
Review 62:The location is superb as it is near the beach, shops and other facilities. Reception staff very helpful. We have stayed 3 times in same room & find it so convenient.
Review 63:The terrace didn't have sufficient protection for small children (the barrier wouldn't prevent falling and constant vigilance was needed)
Review 64:Staff very helpful and friendly, nice design of the apartment, small distance to the beach, shops and restaurants
Review 65:The hotel is worn and desperatly need to be refurbished
Review 66:Located 2 mins from the beach and 5 minutes from the trainstation. You can get to Barcelona in 20 minutes by train. There is hardly any tourists a so Badalona is a typical Spanish city with friendly people. Just be aware that not many of the locals can speak English
Review 67:The bed was very hard. No cooker. No kettel. No long mirror. Pictures of the room was different to the adverisment. Too noisy could not sleep.
Review 68:Location.
Review 69:The manager at reception was excellent and a very nice person, making everything very easy and pleasant. The rooms were spacious, excellent locations and very well priced.
Review 70:they are basically little apartments so you don't have to eat out all the time. very convenient and a nice place to stay with very friendly staff.
Review 71:Toilet ran constantly plus thin, thin walls. still it was quite at night - except during festivals....
Review 72:Location, location, location say's it all, plus the value.
Review 73:I didnt like there was no oven facillity or microwave or kettle luckily we took a kettle there is a fridge and a hob no welcome pack washing up liqouid/ dishcloth although there is a tea towel cutlery pots /pans. No hairdryer the tv only had one english channel bbc news but i think there was a dvd player so if you prepare for all this before you go it will be ok but think mirimar should sort out these small hitches as their prices would enable this
Review 74:we had a room with a balcony it had separate bedroom which had plenty of room nice living area adjoining kitchen and bathroom bath with shower overhead lovely and clean balcony area looked down onto street area and to the left you could see the beach and see which was 2min walk the staff were very helpful and the hotel was within easy walking distance to the train station
Review 75:No facilities, tired looking. Would not want to use for holiday other than a base for the F1 racing
Review 76:Location was good for restaurants and half an hour away from barcelona Grand prix circuit
Review 77:I stayed at this hotel during a big trade fair in Barcelona. It meant Ileft the hotel in the morning (7:30-8 A.m) and came back aroundmidnight I didn't know the staff hours were very limited, and onall but one day during my stay, I saw no one in the reception area, andthere was no one to complain to. This was a problem because Icouldn't get vital Wi-Fi access on most days. Also, the heating wasvery poor and the water ran alternately hot and cold--that is not goodwhen one has the faucet turned only to hot. It was also difficult toget to the fair in Barcelona on public transport. And there were fewplaces to eat or buy groceries from in Badalona after 9-10 P.M. In all,it was a miserable stay.
Review 78:Very disappointing
Review 79:Nothing, really.
Review 80:Staff were very helpful; adequate heating appliances (our visit was in January); good balcony, four burner hob for cooking; hot shower; pleasant location.
Review 81:Mostly small inconveniences (I am being very picky here). There was nokettle in the apartment so we had to boil water in a saucepan to maketea, so for Brits this is a little inconvenient. Having some washing-upliquid and sponge to clean the dishes would be helpful also, maybeproviding some sachets of salt, pepper, sugar and some cooking oil.Although these things are not costly purchases, they are standard itemsthat, for a short term stay, can be an annoyance to buy. It would havebeen more comfortable to have had an extra fleece blanket available forcolder nights (we didn't ask, so extra bedding may be available).The mattress was a bit on the hard side but not the worst I've slepton. Another mirror, perhaps in the bedroom, would be good as, althoughthere was a great big mirror in the bathroom, sometimes it's handyto have another elsewhere. Noise can be heard from outside and, maybe insummertime, it could be more of a problem but it's the sound of lifeand people having fun - just take earplugs. You can't guarantee whostays in the adjacent rooms, as one evening there was noise from youngmen ending their stay, but we were lucky that it was quiet for the restof our holiday. Overall, it was a very comfortable place to stay and, bypointing these small things out, I want it to be the best. We willdefinitely return!
Review 82:Absolutely loved staying here. Having stayed in Badalona before, we knewthat the location was perfect for the beach, shopping for food andclothes, bars and restaurants and for transport into Barcelona. We hadstayed at a hostel previously and wanted more privacy and freedom tomake our own meals, at a time that suited us. For this, Apart-HotelMiramar was perfect. There are plenty of fresh food shops, convenienceshops and small supermarkets, and the fresh food markets are close by.In the kitchenette, there was a sink, four-ring hob, extractor fan,pots, pans, kitchen knives, chopping board, cutlery, crockery, glasses,coffee percolator - perfectly ample for our needs. There was a tv anddvd player. The apartment was clean and, when required, was maintainedwell (including washing the dirty dishes). As it was winter (ha-ha -15to 20 degrees in the afternoon) there was heating for the chilliernights. There was also a hair-dryer, and an iron upon request. Then, ofcourse, we had a room with a balcony which was perfect for catching thesun all day. Having lunch or a coffee there was very pleasant, seeingenough of the sea, at the foot of the street, to claim a sea view.
Review 83:Beds were not very comfortable.A bit to pricy for what you got.
Review 84:Loved the location.
Review 85:Twin beds
Review 86:Location , staff , car parking , local cafes , transport facilities
