Overview
Ronda Del General Mitre 216 4-1 Sarrià-Sant Gervasi is a student residence located in the uptown district of Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, Barcelona. It offers both non-ensuite rooms and branded independent house units, with monthly rent starting at €618 and reaching up to €1,211. The property has a Google rating of 4.0 based on 510 reviews. Listed building features include heating, an elevator, and a dryer.
Who Is This Residence For?
This residence suits students who prioritise outdoor space, views, and a quieter residential atmosphere over being in the centre of Barcelona’s nightlife. The property sits in a well-connected neighbourhood with bus and metro options, making it viable for those attending several universities in the city — including the University of Barcelona, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Commuting times will vary depending on the campus.
The building caters to students who are willing to share a double room (if allocated as a non-ensuite unit) and can accept a set of community rules. The presence of an elevator is a practical advantage for those on higher floors. The property also includes a dryer, which can be helpful in Barcelona’s humid months.
The outdoor territory and views were praised by one guest, so residents who value a pleasant common area and scenery may appreciate the environment. The residence appears to be managed with on-site staff, which some reviewers found supportive.
Who Might Want to Look Elsewhere?
The residence may not be ideal for students who need a private single room without a roommate. One reviewer explicitly stated that rooms “are extremely small for 2 people” and that you “do not have an option to stay alone.” If space and privacy are your main criteria, this property might feel cramped.
Students who frequently host late-night guests or want flexibility to socialise after 11 pm should note the strict visiting policy. According to a review, “you can not visit your friends in the residence after 11 pm they will come to the room and kick ev[eryone out].” This could be a deal-breaker for those who enjoy entertaining or need a more relaxed curfew.
The location’s distance from the city centre was mentioned as a drawback by one reviewer, who noted that “except the distance (bus and YeGo covered us)”, everything else was fine. If you prefer walking distance to main attractions or your campus is in the Gothic Quarter or El Raval, you may find the commute inconvenient.
What Residents Actually Say
Reviews paint a mixed picture, and three are available for direct reference.
Tomass Ansons (rating 4/5):
“Everything was at its best, except the distance (bus and YeGo covered us), the staff and the service, the outdoor territory and the views were amazing! Thank you!”
This review highlights the quality of service, staff responsiveness, and the appeal of the outdoor area. The distance was a minor downside, but the reviewer felt transport options compensated.
Bartu Kucukkinaci (rating 1/5):
“I stayed at this residence for a year and it was really bad in every aspect. The rooms are extremely small for 2 people and you do not have an option to stay alone. Too many rules to follow and they are stupid rules also. You can not visit your friends in the residence after 11 pm they will come to the room and kick ev” (review truncated in the original source).
This negative experience focuses on room size, forced sharing, and restrictive policies. It signals that the residence may not suit those who value space and autonomy.
Teoman Orcun T. (rating 5/5):
“Just stayed a night as a tourist. Buffet is incredible, fabulous! Rooms are clean and decent nothing to exaggerate. I would say rooms 4 star (due to shower was not going well), cleanliness 5 star and buffet is 5 star. Thus i gave 5 star.”
While this guest was a tourist rather than a long-term student, the comments on cleanliness and breakfast (if applicable) suggest the property maintains good hygiene standards. The shower issue may be isolated, but worth noting if you are particular about bathroom fixtures.
Overall, the 4.0 Google rating across 510 reviews indicates moderate general satisfaction, but the negative feedback about room size and rules should be weighed carefully.
Price Positioning in Barcelona
The city-wide starting price for student accommodation in Barcelona is €250 per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). The residence’s minimum rent of €618 is substantially above that entry level. However, the maximum of €1,211 places it in the upper mid-range to high-end category, depending on room type.
Given that Barcelona has 189 student properties on the platform, €618–€1,211 is not the cheapest option, but it is comparable to many managed residences in well-connected districts. The price includes non-ensuite and branded independent house units, so the lower end likely reflects shared rooms, while the higher end may correspond to private apartments or larger spaces.
For context, the average rent for a room in a shared flat in Barcelona (private market) can range from €400 to €800, but that often excludes bills and management services. This residence’s pricing includes building amenities and on-site staff, which may justify the premium for some students.
All prices listed are indicative — confirm with the operator before booking.
Room Type Guidance
The property offers two unit types:
- Non-ensuite rooms: Typically a bedroom without a private bathroom; shared facilities are expected. These are likely the lower-priced options (closer to €618). Be prepared to share a bathroom and possibly a room (as noted by reviewers).
- Branded independent house units: These may be self-contained flats with private kitchen and bathroom, or part of a larger managed block. They are likely the higher-priced options (closer to €1,211). If you need privacy and self-catering, this type is worth investigating.
When inquiring, ask whether the unit you are offered is a double occupancy room or a single. Clarify the bathroom arrangement (shared or private). Also check if the “dryer” tag means a communal machine or in-unit.
The deposit of €360 (indicative — confirm with the operator) is moderate for Barcelona.
Booking Timing Considerations
Because reviews highlight a 11 pm curfew for guests and strict rules, it is wise to secure a contract only after viewing the terms. Booking earlier (e.g., for the 2026–2027 academic year) may give you a better chance of selecting a unit type that matches your preferences, especially the independent house units which may have limited availability.
The property’s availability status is listed as “not_available” in its tags, but this may refer to a specific amenity or to the overall booking status. You should confirm directly with the operator whether rooms are currently open for reservations. Since the data date is set for 2026‑07, availability may have changed.
If you are a student starting in 2026, begin your search at least 3–4 months before your move-in date to compare options among the 189 Barcelona properties and to secure a favourable rate.
