“The hotel is very well located, right next to the train station and the night buses that can take you to the airport if you have a very early flight and there are no trains yet. Even if you book a taxi or Uber, the price to the airport is reasonable. The room is very clean, and you can cook there. However, the shower can easily overflow when you’re using it. There is everything you need: an ironing board and iron, cleaning equipment (broom, floor cleaning supplies), a safe, hairdryer, dishes, frying pan, saucepan, large pot, cutting board, scissors, mini fridge like in hotels, microwave, Dolce Gusto coffee machine, etc. They also provide a unique starter kit with a new sponge, a new trash bag (in addition to the one already in the bin), dishwashing liquid, a sponge cloth, and maybe few other items I don’t quite remember. Before arriving or upon arrival, you need to contact them via WhatsApp, as the reception is virtual. Everything works very well, and they are very kind both on the phone and via messages. However, there is no option to leave your luggage if you arrive early before check-in, although they may offer an earlier check-in before 4 pm if possible. As mentioned in another review, it can be a bit noisy in the evening, but that’s normal since it’s in the city, so nothing to complain about. There are bars, supermarkets and restaurants nearby if needed. Perfect for visiting the area, with Barcelona only 20–25 minutes away by train.”
“Absolutely amazing stay at Aparthotel Centric. Location was 15 min walk to the beach, very close to all the shops and train station. The apartment itself was very very clean, fantastic shower and the bed was comfy. You have to turn the air con off if you leave the room however that was not an issue as the air con worked very well. We hardly used it as the room was cool with the blackout blinds. Ensure you have access to WhatsApp when you get there as you will receive a message of your hotel access code. Modern, clean and everything you need in an apartment. We went in may 2026 when the weather was over 27 degrees and warm nights. All in all 5 stars! Ahmed Room 102”
“Beds were really comfortable, completely equipped kitchen and silent rooms. Absence of staff - although completely available host by WhatsApp. Some maintenance was needed - a cabinet door and a door knob fell. Host was available to fix, though. Good price-quality relationship, would stay again here when visiting Castelldefels.”
“(10/23/22) - Studio w Balcony, $70 per night. We had a nice time at the ApartHotel Centric in Castelldefels. We chose this hotel for our last few days of our vacation to Spain because it was close to the airport. We discovered that Castelldefels is a wonderful visit on its own. We found this resort very affordable and in a good location. The room was up to date and met our expectations. We found many good restaurants nearby to enjoy. The room was up to date and met our expectations. The bathroom and bedroom were very large and room had all the features that we were promised. We both thought twin beds sat lower to ground we’d like and were a little uncomfortable. The self-check in was a little daunting for a senior citizen who isn’t the most tech savvy. Unlocking the hotel entrance and hotel room with my cell phone was a new experience for me. We eventually were able to figure it out. Never met our host, but I think he was close by if we needed him. Overall we were happy at this hotel. ApartHotel Centric is a nice place in a convenient location. When comparing price and amenities, it met our expectations. We would recommend a stay at this hotel if you’re not intimidated by the high tech check in process and you don’t need on site hotel staff.”
