We loved staying here. The rooms had massive windows that let in lots of light when you wanted and had blackout curtains when you didn't. The street outside (Carrer de l'Allada-Vermell) is much wider than most streets in Barcelona, but is pedestrian only and has trees, with only a small children's playground and a few restaurants. Despite it's beauty and breadth, it is surprisingly low-traffic. It provides a quiet, scenic retreat from the otherwise sometimes claustrophobic sense of the rest of the old city.
Please note that the standard room is marked as having a kitchenette, but it does not have a hot plate/stove top. Those are only available at the higher tiered rooms. It still comes with a toaster, coffee machine, utensils, plates/cups, microwave, and a fridge. As such, we were able to have breakfast in the apartment which helped us from a budget standpoint to enjoy more parts of our trip.
With our budget, this apartment provided us with plenty of value without compromising on quality or safety. Of course, if you prefer higher service, such as daily cleanings, room service, etc. you would be better going elsewhere. For us, having independence was more important than high service, which is why Aparthotel Allada was a perfect fit for us. The staff at the front was still very friendly and helpful, such as booking us a taxi for our early morning flight. I cannot recommend them enough.
