Murmuri Residence Concepcio

My family and me had a wonderful Christmas holidays experience at Liceu apartment, in Murmuri Residence Concepció. The apartments are perfectly well located, between Rambla Catalunya and Passeig de Gracia, closed to the most chic boutiques and restaurants, and the most important highlights of the city, as La Pedrera, Casa Batlló, in a walking distance to the main highlights of the city. The apartments have been recently refurbished, with a contemporary decoration, super comfortable beds and showers, a wide Kitchen to cook, a big terrace, and so great that they are so silent despite of being in the heart of the city. The service in the appartments is 10. All the staff are super friendly and willing to help. I recommend the experience of being at Murmuri Residence Concepció to everybody!

Ended up here after a sudden flight cancelation and the place we were at was all booked. I picked it due to the price point, proximity to where we were already staying, and my preference for apart-hotels. The check in location is about a 4 min walk from where you are actually staying. It is located between 2 Michelin star restaurants, and with the start of blocks of tapas restaurants just around the corner, it is ridiculously noisy at night, even with the windows closed. We stayed in the Romea, which, by the sign on the door, is actually the lobby + the original Romea room. The room is starting to show its age and could benefit from some updating. It's large and spacious with a balcony off the living room and bedroom. However, it is the only room in the building that has a washer, but no dryer. (tip - you have to close the little drum door before starting the wash) The kitchen is small, but functional. The fridge is nice and big. No complaints on the beds. The set up is odd in that the only shower is in the en suite. There are 2 Tvs - one in the living room and one in the master. Shower pressure could be better, but I was also doing laundry at the time, so I can't accurately comment on it. This place was also booked up for the next night. Toiletries included: bulk body wash/ shampoo combo and conditioner. Liquid hand soap available. Two pairs of slippers provided. You are provided with ample toilet paper, a roll of paper towels, and some cleaning supplies. I didn't inspect the supplies, but looked to be at least a couple of dishwasher tabs, not sure about laundry detergent. Wifi signal spotty at times. I switched to using my own network frequently. I believe you can store your luggage at the check in location, but not 100% sure. Customer service pretty good. I had to call later at night with my washing machine issue and received prompt assistance. Excellent location - aside from the two restaurants outside, you're a couple min away from the hop on/hop off stop and subway station, few min walk from La Pedrera, 10 min from the heart of Las Ramblas, 10 min away from a couple of mercats, and tons of shopping and dining nearby. If this place renovates, I'll add it to list of places to stay, but with its age, I'd prefer other nearby accommodations.

Rooms in need of updating. Showing signs of wear and tear. Sound insulation is awful as there is a nightclub opposite, almost within touching distance. Appliances may be dangerous and unmaintained. I had a plug heat up on a hair dryer there which burnt my hand. You may get downgraded to this building, as we did when you book the Murmuri "Mercader"
