Overview and Location
Rosselló 2 is a student accommodation located at 257, L’Eixample, 08008 Barcelona, Spain. It sits in the central Eixample district, a neighbourhood known for its grid layout, wide streets, and mix of residential and commercial buildings. The property is within walking distance of several universities — University of Barcelona, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya — though commute times vary depending on which campus you attend. The nearest metro station is directly next to the entrance, as noted by a resident, which provides quick access to other parts of the city.
The residence is categorised as a branded independent house, offering non-ensuite rooms. It has a Google rating of 4.2 based on 3,340 reviews, indicating generally positive feedback from past occupants. Common tags include laundry facility, bills included, and Wi-Fi. The property is currently marked as “not available” in the source system, so interested tenants should check with the operator for the latest room status.
What Residents Actually Say
Three reviews are available from the source data. They are reproduced verbatim below — no edits other than the cut-off where the original text stops mid-sentence.
Vincent PALITA (5/5): “Perfect service. Special thanks to David who makes our stay every time better. We can feel that the team likes to work together. One thing that should be improved is the quality of the windows, when your room is on the street side, you hear a lot of noise. Otherwise than that, great value for money. I forgot to say tha”
Mostafa Derhami (5/5): “We arrived late at night, around 11 PM, without a reservation, and we were treated very respectfully. The staff explained everything clearly and politely. We also chose the breakfast, which in my opinion was very complete and high quality. The room was very clean. Inside the room, there was a coffee machine with coffee”
Ellie Stoykova Photography & Travels (5/5): “Lovely hotel! Rooms are spacious, not all have modern or “refreshes” interior but they are comfortable so that is more of an “appeal” note. I loved the bathroom, all was functional — i was sick of hotel bathrooms where something is always messed up. Bed was comfy, the metro station is right next to the entrance. The br”
These reviews highlight consistent strengths: helpful and respectful staff, clean and functional rooms, and a convenient location. Noise from street-facing rooms is a specific drawback mentioned by one guest. The mention of breakfast and walk-in arrivals suggests the property may also operate as a short-stay hotel alongside longer-term student housing — potential tenants should clarify the exact rental model with the operator before committing.
Who This Residence Suits / Does Not Suit
Suits
- Students who prioritise service and cleanliness. Multiple reviews praise the staff’s attitude and the room hygiene. If you value a well-maintained living space and responsive management, Rosselló 2 appears to deliver.
- Those who want metro access immediately outside the door. The station location is explicitly called out as a plus. For students who rely on public transport to reach campus or explore Barcelona, this is a practical advantage.
- People comfortable with a non-ensuite room. The unit type listed is non-ensuite, meaning you share bathroom and kitchen facilities. This typically lowers rent compared to studio or ensuite options.
- Late arrivals or flexible check-in times. One guest arrived at 11 PM without a reservation and received respectful treatment. If your schedule is irregular, this kind of flexibility can be helpful.
Does Not Suit
- Light sleepers or those sensitive to street noise. The review from Vincent PALITA explicitly says street-side rooms have poor sound insulation. If you need absolute quiet, you would need to request an interior-facing room or bring earplugs.
- Students who want modern, renovated interiors. Ellie Stoykova notes that not all rooms have a refreshed interior; they are comfortable but may look dated. If a contemporary aesthetic is important to you, ask to see the exact unit before signing.
- Budget-conscious renters looking for the cheapest possible monthly rate. The city’s from-price for student accommodation is 250 EUR per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). Rosselló 2’s prices are not listed in the source data, so it may fall above that baseline. You should request a quote and compare it with other properties in the Eixample area.
- Anyone who needs ensuite privacy. Since all rooms are non-ensuite, you will share a bathroom and possibly a kitchen. If you prefer your own facilities, look for a studio or ensuite residence.
Price Positioning vs City From-Price
The city of Barcelona has a minimum advertised student rent of 250 EUR per month (indicative — confirm with the operator). This figure represents the cheapest available room at the time the data was collected, among 189 properties listed. Rosselló 2’s exact price is not published in the source, so it is not possible to say whether it falls at the low end, midpoint, or upper end of the range.
Given its central location in Eixample and the positive reviews about service and cleanliness, Rosselló 2 is likely a mid-range option. The building provides shared facilities (laundry, Wi-Fi, bills included), which can reduce overall living costs. However, you should directly contact the operator to obtain current monthly rates and compare them with other Eixample listings.
Room Type and Booking Timing
The only room type listed is non-ensuite, meaning a private bedroom with shared bathroom and kitchen. The property also belongs to the “branded independent house” category, which typically means it is managed by a recognised operator but is not part of a large purpose-built student accommodation block. The rooms are described as spacious and comfortable, though some have dated interiors.
Because the source marks the property as “not available” in 2026 data, it is possible that the rooms are fully booked for the upcoming academic year, or that the operator has temporarily paused listings. If you are planning for 2027, start checking availability and rates early — ideally in late 2026. The 189 properties in Barcelona give you many alternatives, so do not rely on a single residence.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the rent?
The property is tagged with bills included and Wi-Fi. Laundry facilities are also available on-site. For specific details (such as utility caps, laundry costs, or whether cleaning services are provided), confirm directly with the operator. Breakfast appears to be available — based on Mostafa’s review — but it may be an optional add-on or only for short stays.
Is Rosselló 2 suitable for students from University of Barcelona or Pompeu Fabra?
Yes, the Eixample district is centrally located, and the nearest metro station is right by the entrance. University of Barcelona’s main campus is about a 15-minute walk or a short metro ride. Universitat Pompeu Fabra’s Ciutadella campus is roughly 20 minutes by public transport. However, commute times depend on the specific faculty and class schedule. We recommend checking a journey planner with the exact address.
Can I book for the 2027 academic year now?
The property is currently listed as “not available”, so you cannot book directly through this platform. You should contact the operator to ask about future availability. For 2027, the booking window typically opens in late 2026. Keep an eye on the listing status, and if it remains unavailable, explore other residences on the platform.
