Who This Residence Suits (and Who It Doesn’t)
C/ De Mallorca 304 4º L’Eixample is a managed student house in a central Barcelona neighbourhood. The building is a 4th-floor apartment (with lift) in L’Eixample, a well‑known district with wide avenues, restaurants, and good metro connections. The property markets rooms as part of a “branded independent house” — meaning it is likely run by a student‑housing operator rather than a private landlord.
This residence suits:
- Students who value location and community. The building is within walking distance of several universities in Barcelona (the exact travel time depends on the campus, but most central faculties are 15–25 minutes on foot or by metro). Reviewers mention a strong sense of community and helpful staff.
- Students planning a stay of at least three months. The minimum lease is 3 months, so it works for a semester or a short exchange programme. The earliest move‑in date is 7 September 2026.
- Students who prefer an all‑in‑one managed experience. The operator provides weekly cleaning, lockers, laundry facilities, and an elevator. There is a private dining room and common areas designed to foster interaction. Reviewers specifically praise the “cozy and trust‑based environment” and the “students community”.
- Students with a mid‑to‑upper budget for Barcelona. The published monthly price range is €741–€1,100 (indicative — confirm with the operator). This is above the city’s general from‑price of €250 (for a shared room or a basic studio in outer areas), but within the typical range for a managed, centrally located house with services.
Who it does not suit:
- Budget‑focused students. If you are looking for the cheapest possible accommodation in Barcelona, rooms below €500 exist in shared flats further from the centre or with fewer services. This residence is firmly in the mid‑to‑premium segment for student houses.
- Students who need a private bathroom (en suite). The available unit types are “non_ensuite” and “branded_independent_house”. That likely means you share a bathroom with one or more flatmates. Check the exact configuration with the operator before booking.
- Students who need very short stays (one or two months). The minimum lease is three months. If you need a room for a few weeks, you will need to look elsewhere.
- Students who want complete independence. The house has on‑site staff, community events, and shared spaces. It is not a fully private, self‑contained apartment.

Price Positioning vs. City‑Wide Averages
The listing price range is €741–€1,100 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). For context:
- The cheapest student housing option listed in Barcelona in our system starts at €250 per month. That is typically a bed in a shared flat in a less central area or a basic studio without services.
- Most centrally located, managed student houses in Barcelona fall in the €600–€1,200 range.
- This residence sits at the higher end of that band, justified by its L’Eixample location, elevator, laundry, lockers, weekly cleaning, and communal spaces.
If your budget is under €700, you would need to consider outer districts or private shared flats (with more variable quality). If you can stretch to €750–€1,100, this house offers predictability and convenience.
Room‑Type Guidance
Two unit types are offered:
- Non‑ensuite – a private bedroom with shared bathroom (number of flatmates to confirm). This is the more common option in this building.
- Branded independent house – this refers to the overall concept; all rooms are part of a managed house. The exact room specs (single/double, size, furnishings) should be checked for each available unit.
When booking, ask the operator:
- Is the room single or twin?
- How many people share the bathroom?
- Is there a private kitchen or a shared kitchen?
- Are utilities (water, electricity, internet) included in the rent?
- What deposit is required? (Not listed in our data.)
The reviews suggest a “private dining room”, so there is likely a shared kitchen/dining area. Lockers suggest individual storage options.
Booking Timing
The earliest available from date is 7 September 2026. For students starting university in September 2026 (academic year 2026/27), this aligns well.
- If you want a room from September, start enquiring from early 2026. Managed houses in central Barcelona tend to fill up for the main intake.
- The minimum lease is 3 months, so you can book for just the autumn semester (Sept–Dec) or extend into 2027.
- Because the price is fixed per month, booking earlier may secure a lower rate (some operators offer early‑bird discounts, though we cannot confirm for this property). Always confirm payment terms before signing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this residence close to the universities in Barcelona?
The address is in L’Eixample, a central district with good metro connections to most university campuses. Many faculties of the main public universities are within a 15–25 minute walk or a short metro ride. The exact distance depends on your faculty; check using a map tool with the address “304, L’Eixample, 08037 Barcelona”.
Are bills included in the monthly rent?
The data we have does not specify whether utilities (water, electricity, internet, gas) are included. The reviews mention weekly cleaning and a private dining room, but not bills. You must ask the operator directly when you enquire. Typical managed student houses include most utilities in the rent, but this is not guaranteed.
Can I move in for a shorter period than three months?
No. The minimum lease is three months. If you need accommodation for one or two months, look for operators that offer shorter stays — but note that many student houses in Barcelona require at least a semester.
