Overview: Navas De Tolosa 2 in Barcelona
Navas De Tolosa 2 is a student residence located at 38, Sant Andreu, 08027 Barcelona, Spain — in the Sant Andreu district, northeast of the city centre. It operates under a branded independent house model, offering both non-ensuite rooms and branded independent units. The property is managed by a private operator (commonly referred to by residents as “Beyoo Marina”, according to reviews). Monthly rents range from €575 to €690 (indicative — confirm with the operator). The minimum lease term is 4 months.
Barcelona is a major student city with roughly 189 student properties listed on independent platforms. The city-wide starting price for student accommodation is around €250 per month (typically for shared rooms or basic studios in outer areas). Navas De Tolosa 2 sits above that floor but remains a mid-range option given its included bills, elevator, laundry access, and location near metro and supermarkets. Google reviews give it a 4.0 rating from 619 reviews.
Who This Residence Suits
First-time renters in Barcelona – The property is praised by residents for being convenient and calm. One reviewer wrote: “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.” If you are arriving in Barcelona without local knowledge, this area reduces daily friction.
Students who prioritise social atmosphere – Another resident noted: “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.” The operator organises group activities and the shared spaces encourage interaction. If you want to build a social circle quickly, this property supports that.
Budget‑conscious tenants who want bills included – The monthly price covers utilities, internet, and possibly cleaning of common areas (verify with the operator). With bills included and a lease as short as 4 months, you avoid unexpected surcharges and rigid 12‑month contracts.
University‑area flexibility – The residence is within reasonable commuting distance of the University of Barcelona, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, and Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. It is not directly on any single campus, but the metro connection (likely L1 or L2, check locally) makes it a viable base for all four.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
Tenants wanting ensuite privacy – The property offers non‑ensuite rooms (shared bathroom) and branded independent house units (which may have private bathroom but no kitchenette – clarify with the operator). If you absolutely need your own bathroom, confirm the unit type before booking.
Budget seekers comparing against city floor prices – At €575–€690/month, you are paying more than the city’s cheapest share houses (€250+). If you are on a strict €400 budget, this residence is not suitable. Look for shared flats in less central districts or older buildings.
Those with zero tolerance for cleanliness or maintenance issues – One critical review warns: “I would not touch this place with a stick if I didn’t have to. 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. Firs” (review truncated). While this is one voice among 619, it highlights that standards may vary. If hygiene and responsiveness are dealbreakers, request a video tour or read recent Google reviews from the past six months.
Students needing central‑city location – Sant Andreu is a residential neighbourhood, not the Gothic Quarter or Eixample. Nightlife, major tourist sites, and many university faculties require a 20–30 minute metro ride. If you want to walk to class or nightlife, consider properties closer to Plaça Universitat or the Rambla.

Negative (1‑star) – severe dissatisfaction
“I would not touch this place with a stick if I didn’t have to.

The contrast is stark: most reviews (4.0 average from 619) are likely positive, but the negative review raises concerns about cleanliness and value. When considering this property, ask the operator for recent photos of the room you would get, and check if the negative review reflects a specific room or period.
Price Positioning & Value
– City floor price: ~€250/month (shared rooms, far from centre, no bills included). – Navas De Tolosa 2 range: €575–€690/month (indicative — confirm with the operator). – Barcelona median for branded student residences: ~€600–€800/month.
This property sits at the lower‑mid end of operator‑managed student housing. For that price you get a private room (non‑ensuite or branded independent house), bills included, laundry, elevator, and organised events. Compared to a private studio (€800+), it is cheaper. Compared to a private room in a shared flat (€400–€600), it is slightly higher but includes utilities and management.
Value tipping point: If you value convenience (bills included, no landlord headaches, events) and want a 4‑month minimum lease, the extra cost over a non‑managed flat may be worth it. If you are willing to search for a room in a shared flat, you can lower costs to €400–€500 but with less support.
Room Types & Lease Terms
- Non-ensuite rooms: Shared bathroom with other residents (typically 1 bathroom per 4–6 people). Private bedroom. No private kitchen (shared common kitchen).
- Branded independent house units: These likely refer to self‑contained apartments within the building (private bathroom, small kitchenette) but managed by the same operator. Confirm exact specifications with the operator before booking.
Lease term: Minimum 4 months. Maximum likely one academic year (9–12 months). The property is listed as “not available” on the platform at the time of data collection (2026-07), meaning current vacancies may be limited. Check availability directly with the operator or via the platform.
Included in price: Bills (electricity, water, gas, internet), laundry facility access, elevator use. Deposit amount is not listed — ask the operator.
Booking Timing Advice
Given the “not available” tag in the dataset, this property may fill up quickly for the 2026–2027 academic year. For Barcelona, the booking peak is from March to June for September starts. If you are aiming for a 2027 move-in, start inquiries in early 2027.
- For September 2026 start: Most rooms were likely taken by now. Check if any cancellations have opened up.
- For January 2027 start: Begin searching in October–November 2026.
- Flexible dates: If you can accept a 4‑month lease starting any month, contact the operator directly — they may have mid‑year vacancies.
The negative review about cleanliness suggests visual inspection is essential. Book after a live video tour or a recent photo set. Do not rely only on platform images.
