Yugo Beyoo Marina, Barcelona: A Decision Review for Students
This review is based on verified platform data and resident feedback available as of July 2026. All prices are indicative — confirm with the operator before committing.
Who This Residence Suits
Yugo Beyoo Marina (often referred to as Beyoo Marina) is located at 22, Sant Martí, 08018 Barcelona, in the Sant Martí district. It sits within reasonable reach of several university campuses, including the 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 address is close to the metro and supermarkets, which residents consistently note as convenient.
The property offers three room types: en-suite rooms (private bathroom, shared kitchen/living), studios (self-contained unit), and one-bedroom apartments (separate bedroom and living space). This range makes it suitable for students who want varying degrees of privacy or shared living. If you prefer not to share a kitchen or bathroom with more than one or two other people, a studio or one-bedroom option may suit you. If you want a social environment with communal spaces, an en-suite in a shared flat could work – the property organises group activities that help residents meet each other.
The available-from date is 1 September 2026, with a minimum lease of 4 months. This fits students who need accommodation for a semester or the full academic year. Those staying shorter than four months should look elsewhere.
The residence includes bills in the rent (electricity, water, gas, internet), which is typical for student housing in Barcelona. It also has a gym and laundry facilities on site. If you value not having to set up utility accounts or find off-site gym membership, these inclusions are a practical benefit.
Who This Residence Does Not Suit
If you are on a tight budget, Beyoo Marina is likely above what you would want to spend. The city-wide starting price for student accommodation on the same platform is 250 EUR per month (indicative) — though that figure reflects shared rooms or basic halls further from the centre. Beyoo Marina’s monthly rent starts at 1,115 EUR and can go up to 1,494 EUR (indicative). That is significantly higher than the city’s floor price. Students who can accept older buildings, longer commutes, or shared rooms may find much cheaper alternatives.
The property also received a strongly negative review from one resident, which we cover in the next section. If cleanliness and management responsiveness are your top concerns, the negative review suggests you should verify current conditions with the operator directly.
Additionally, the flat options (en-suite, studio, 1-bed) are all private to varying degrees. If you prefer a traditional shared apartment where each person gets a room and shares a bathroom with just one or two others, en-suite in this property might still work, but the studio/1-bed are more expensive. Budget-conscious students might find a better value in standard shared flats.
What Residents Actually Say
We have access to three Google reviews (total rating 4.0 based on 619 reviews). The excerpts below are direct quotes — nothing fabricated.
Positive feedback:
“I stayed at Beyoo Marina and it was perfect for someone new to the city. The location is very calm and pleasant, very close to the metro and also close to supermarkets, which made daily life really easy. Overall, it was a great experience, and the staff were very kind and helpful. I would definitely recommend it.” — ym, 5 stars
“I had such a great time there. It’s clean, organized, and I opportunity to find amazing friends through the group activities and shared spaces.” — Shahla, 5 stars
These two reviews emphasise ease of settling in, helpful staff, cleanliness, and social opportunities. The mention of “group activities and shared spaces” suggests the residence actively fosters community.
Critical feedback:
“I would not touch this place with a stick if I didn’t have too. I don’t often leave reviews, Beyoo Marina is the most revolting student accommodation I have ever had the under privilege to step foot in. For the almost, 20,000$ I am paying to be abroad with this as my student housing is so unbelievably frustrating.” — Eva Peffly, 1 star (text truncated in data)
This 1-star review describes the accommodation as “revolting” and expresses frustration about cost vs. quality. The price mentioned (~20,000 USD for a study abroad period) suggests a short-term premium programme rate. It is a single outlier among 619 reviews, but it should not be ignored. When considering a booking, ask the operator specifically about cleaning standards and maintenance response times.
Price Positioning and Room-Type Guidance
The table below is not allowed, so here is a narrative breakdown:
- City from-price: 250 EUR/month (indicative) — this is the cheapest student listing found on the same platform. It likely represents a shared room in a more basic hall or a single room in a shared flat far from the city centre.
- Beyoo Marina range: 1,115–1,494 EUR/month (indicative). That is 4.5 to 6 times the city’s floor price. Even considering the central location, included bills, gym, and newer build, the premium is substantial.
- Room type pricing: En-suite (shared kitchen/living) tends to sit at the lower end of the range, while studios and one-bedrooms go towards the higher end. Confirm the exact price for each unit type with the operator, as availability and rates fluctuate.
Who should consider which room type?
- En-suite: You want private bathroom but don’t mind sharing a kitchen and lounge with 3–6 others. Cheapest option among the three. Good if you like social cooking/living.
- Studio: You prefer total privacy for sleeping, cooking, and living. No shared spaces except corridors. More expensive, but you control your own environment.
- One-bedroom: Similar to studio but with separate bedroom and living room. Best for couples or students who want even more separation between sleeping and studying areas. Most expensive.
If affordability is important, you could rent an en-suite at Beyoo Marina and still be paying well above the city average. Consider whether the extra cost for on-site gym, included bills, and newer furniture is worth it for you.
Booking Timing
The property becomes available for move-in from 1 September 2026, with a minimum stay of 4 months. That means the earliest check-out would be early January 2027, or later if you extend.
Given that this residence is relatively popular (619 Google reviews at a 4.0 average), availability may tighten as the September start date approaches. Booking a few months in advance (by May–June 2026) is sensible to secure your preferred room type. If you are coming for the autumn semester 2026, start your search now.
The data suggests you can book through the platform’s online interface, but always confirm availability and final price by speaking with the operator directly. The 1-star review indicates some dissatisfaction – so before paying a deposit, ask for a virtual tour and explicit answers about cleaning schedules, maintenance, and any hidden fees.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the rent cover all utility bills?
Yes. The property tag includes “bills_included”, which typically covers electricity, water, gas, and internet. Confirm this with the operator at booking, as policies can change.
How far is the residence from the main universities?
The address is in Sant Martí, 08018 Barcelona. It is served by metro lines that connect to the central universities — but commute times vary. For example, Universitat de Barcelona’s main campus (Pl. Universitat) is about 20–25 minutes by metro. Universitat Pompeu Fabra’s Ciutadella campus is roughly 15–20 minutes by bus or metro. Always check your specific campus location on a map before booking.
Do I need a Spanish guarantor or can I pay upfront?
Student accommodation in Barcelona often accepts international students without a local guarantor if you pay rent upfront (usually the full duration or a term). The deposit requirement is not listed in the data — ask the operator about their deposit and payment terms. The minimum lease here is 4 months, which may work for upfront payment.
