Sensation Authentic Gràcia

clean room

Apartment worked great for our family!

The apartment was clean and the staff was always responsive. Very close to the sights!

Loved having a space for my family that is close to Sagrada Familia and transportation. Clean and safe.

Great, clean, comfortable place. In a safe area close to restaurants, shops, grocery stores and metro station. Communication with front staff was easy and helpful.

We had a great stay at Sensation Authentic Gràcia. The pre-check-in instructions and how to access the apartment were a bit confusing at first, but once we figured it out, everything went smoothly. I recommend using WhatsApp—it made communication with the apartment team super easy. They were always available and helpful, whether we had questions about a local clinic, an issue with the kettle, cleaning service timing, or arranging a taxi to the airport. Responses were fast and helpful. The apartment itself was spacious, clean, and thoughtfully decorated. There were four of us, and we never ran out of hot water as long as we took quick showers. The foldable bed in the living room was perfect when my daughter got sick and wanted to sleep separately. We especially loved the balconies—one for relaxing and another for drying clothes after using the washer (no dryer, but it wasn’t a problem). The beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast and light meals. The best part was the neighborhood—authentic, non-touristy, and full of local charm. Sagrada Família was within walking distance, and Casa Batlló and Park Güell were a short metro or bus ride away. The area felt very safe and had plenty of shops, restaurants, bakeries, and takeout options. We would definitely stay here again!

Loved staying here & would visit again!

The property is located in a lovely, quiet neighborhood and is conveniently close to the Sagrada Familia, making it a great base for exploring the city. However, we encountered a significant issue with the hot water supply—it runs out after one person showers, requiring a 30–45 minute wait before the next person can have a hot shower. This was inconvenient, especially when trying to maximize time for sightseeing. Additionally, the living room rug was quite worn and could use replacing. Overall, it's a pleasant place to stay, but it falls short of the standards expected from a 4-star property.

This was a GREAT place to stay! The location was tremendous, in a nice neighborhood and about 5-6 blocks from the Metro. The apartment itself was very nice, quiet, and offered great views from the balcony and the rooftop terrace. Check in was a breeze - we were greeted immediately and provided quick service. They arranged a (free) cab from check-in to the actual apartment, and also arranged for a cab to the airport on the back end of our stay. We would DEFINITELY stay here again!

Amazing property.

Walkable and close to Sagrada Familia which had many restaurant options. We also did a 30 minute hike up to Park Guell. Not a great idea with kids but doable for adults. Apartment itself was clean and well maintained but would appreciate if lobby would smell a little nicer. Other than that, we had a great stay there and communication was excellent. Check in area was 5 min away but by car. Not advisable to check in and tow luggage with you all the way to the apartment unless you have a car waiting for you to check in and then be dropped off to the apartment itself. The apartment has a 24 hour grocery across from it that had yummy pizza options!

Place was nice and clean. Close to Sagrada Familia which I appreciated. Would definitely stay here again.

Our stay was very good, the kitchen was well-equipped, there was plenty of space, and the location was good. It’s very close to Sagrada Familia.

My husband & I checked in to the reception address with no problem and were offered the choice of walking 10 mins to the apartment block or a free taxi We chose taxi as had big luggage. We booked the recommended transfer for our daughters who were coming by a later flight and put in the notes for them to drop them at the apartments & not check in venue, to make it easier for them late at night. But he wanted to take them to the check in venue & they had to argue it for a while and the driver said they dont read notes on bookings! so it would have been less stressful for them to have just got a taxi outside the terminal. Aside from that, the 2 bedroom apartment was nicely furnished but slept 6 with comfy seating on one sofa only fitting 3 easily but not 4 of us really. Smart tv so we could watch our own netflix etc. Lots of crockery & cutlery as there was 4 of us so we could use it & then put dishwasher on and have more to use if needed. washing machine but a small airer. washing clothes tablets and washing up liquid & dishwasher tablets was included. There is a kettle & nespresso coffee maker but no pods so best to bring your own tea/ coffee with you. Apartment was 10 mins from Sagrada Familia but 45 ish walk to Pl Cataluna. Lots of supermarkets around, but an Aldi was less than 5 mins down the road for everything you need. Lots of cafes/bakeries around. Restaurants seemed to be small inside and had more outside seating but a bit chilly in Feb. We found a few nice ones.

Our stay at Sensation Authentic Gràcia was fantastic! The apartment was perfect for our small family—clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The location in the charming Gràcia neighborhood was ideal, with plenty of cafés, shops, and parks nearby. It felt like a home away from home, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this place for families looking for a comfortable and authentic Barcelona experience

Very clean, comfortable, and came with everything we needed like extra trash bags paper towels and glasses. Instructions for checkin should be more clear since the “lobby” is in a different location.

El apartamento es excelente, cómodo y nuevo. Además es cerca de la Sagrada Familia y del metro, lo que garantiza una buena movilidad. El check in no es en el mismo edificio, pero son muy amables en ofrecerte un taxi (el cual cubre el hotel) para llevarte al apartamento. Volvería sin dudas

This property was in an excellent location, being close to a grocery store, the Sagrada Familia, and souvenir shops. It had good water pressure and maintained a good air temperature for sleeping. However, there was road noise and people laughing and talking during "sleep" hours. I would recommend using white noise or another phone setting that could reduce the outside noises. There is also a deposit fee not mentioned by Expedia that would have been helpful to be aware of for planning purposes.

A very pleasant experience. We loved it there!

Property was clean and in a good location.
