Location and Surroundings
Navas De Tolosa 1 is located at 342, Sant Andreu, 08027 Barcelona. The address places it in the Sant Andreu district, a mostly residential area northeast of the city centre. The nearest metro station (likely Sant Andreu or Navas de Tolosa on line L1) is within a short walk, giving residents direct access to Plaça de Catalunya in about 20 minutes. The neighbourhood contains supermarkets, bakeries, and small local shops, making errands straightforward. The property also benefits from a lift (elevator) and laundry facilities, which are practical for longer stays.
The residence sits close to several major university campuses. While we avoid naming specific institutions, students attending the large university clusters in Barcelona can reach them by metro or bus in roughly 15–30 minutes. The area itself is calm and pleasant, as one resident noted – more of a local Barcelona vibe than a tourist hub. For anyone new to the city, this can be an advantage: daily life feels manageable, with quiet streets and green spaces nearby (e.g., Parc de la Pegaso or Parc de Sant Andreu).
Price Positioning in Barcelona
The published monthly rents for Navas De Tolosa 1 range from 550 to 645 EUR (indicative — confirm with the operator). This positions the property well above Barcelona’s overall city from‑price of 250 EUR per month (the lowest published starting price across all student accommodation in the city). The total housing stock in Barcelona on the platform is 189 properties, with a wide range of budgets.
The 550 EUR minimum here is typical for a non‑ensuite room in a shared apartment or a branded independent house. Many budget rooms in Barcelona start around 300–400 EUR but are often in older buildings or shared flats with fewer amenities. At Navas De Tolosa 1, the price reflects the inclusion of Wi‑Fi, laundry, and a lift, as well as a managed tenancy with a deposit of 645 EUR. The minimum lease is 4 months, which suits semester‑length stays.
If you are on a very tight budget, the 250 EUR baseline properties may be more suitable – but expect more basic conditions and possibly longer commutes. For a mid‑range option with reliable services, the 550–645 EUR bracket is reasonable for Barcelona’s student housing market.
Room Types and Facilities
The property offers non‑ensuite rooms within a branded independent house. This type generally means private bedrooms with shared bathrooms and a shared kitchen/living area. The exact configuration per unit should be confirmed with the operator, but typical layouts include:
- Private lockable bedroom (with bed, desk, wardrobe)
- Shared bathroom (commonly 1 bathroom per 3–4 residents)
- Shared kitchen (equipped with hob, fridge, microwave, cooking utensils)
- Shared lounge area
Facilities explicitly listed for this residence:
- Laundry facility – either on‑site machines or a service
- Wi‑Fi – included in the rent
- Elevator – useful if your room is on a higher floor (no stairs to climb with luggage)
- Not available flag – at the time of writing, the property is marked as unavailable on the platform; availability should be confirmed separately
No private ensuite or studio options are offered here. If you want your own bathroom and kitchen, you would need to look at higher‑priced studios (often 700+ EUR) in other buildings.
What Residents Actually Say
The property on Google has a 4.0 rating from 619 reviews. Three example reviews provide a balanced picture:
Positive (5 stars) – ym
“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.”
Positive (5 stars) – Shahla
“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.”
Negative (1 star) – Eva Peffly
“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.”
Note: The negative review references “Beyoo Marina” – likely the same operator or building brand as Navas De Tolosa 1. Eva’s experience strongly criticises the condition of the accommodation, but her payment amount (≈20,000 USD) appears unusually high for a student residency; this may refer to a full university programme fee rather than just rent. The two positive reviews highlight cleanliness, organisation, social activities, and helpful staff.
Verdict from reviews: The residence seems to work well for residents who value community and a quiet lived‑in area. The lone 1‑star review raises concerns about maintenance – something to probe with the operator before booking.
Who Is This Residence For?
Suitable for:
- Students new to Barcelona who want a calm, safe neighbourhood with easy metro access.
- Those who prefer shared living and want to meet flatmates through organised activities.
- Residents looking for a medium‑length lease (4 months to a full academic year).
- People comfortable with a non‑ensuite setup (shared bathroom and kitchen).
Not suitable for:
- Students on a rock‑bottom budget (the 550 EUR minimum is nearly double the city’s cheapest option).
- Anyone who insists on a private bathroom or kitchen.
- Those who need central nightlife or a lively student district – Sant Andreu is residential.
- People who are very sensitive to maintenance issues (based on the one negative review, quality may vary).
Booking Timing and Availability
The platform currently lists the property with a “not_available” tag. This could mean all rooms are taken for the current intake, or the operator has paused listings. For stays starting in 2026 or 2027, you should check back periodically or inquire directly with the operator (details available via the on‑site assistant). The minimum lease is 4 months, so a typical semester from September–January or February–May would fit.
Because Barcelona is a high‑demand student city (189 properties listed, but many book out quickly), early inquiries – ideally 3–6 months before your intended move‑in – are advisable. For 2026‑27 academic year, start researching by early 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the monthly rent?
The published price (550–645 EUR) covers your room, shared facilities, Wi‑Fi, and access to laundry equipment. Utilities (electricity, water, gas) are normally included in managed student houses, but you should confirm with the operator. The deposit is 645 EUR, refundable at the end of the tenancy if no damages occur.
Are there any additional fees?
The data does not mention a booking fee, administration fee, or registration cost. However, many operators charge a small one‑time admin fee (often 50–100 EUR) – you must confirm this detail when you request a booking. The deposit (645 EUR) is separate and usually due before move‑in.
How do I know if the residence will be available for my semester?
The “not_available” tag suggests current unavailability. For future intakes (2026/2027), availability will change. The best approach is to use the platform’s on‑site assistant (available on the property page) to check live availability and request a callback or email from the operator. You can also ask about waiting lists or alternative units in the same building.
