Overview & Location
SPC 8005 is a student residence in Barcelona, Spain, located in the city’s broader urban area (address listed as “Spain”). The property sits at coordinates 41.3977365, 2.2015347, placing it within easy reach of the city centre and several university campuses. It offers a mix of shared apartments and independent houses, with a focus on communal living and on-site amenities.
The residence is one of 189 student housing options in Barcelona, where prices start from €250 per month for basic rooms elsewhere. SPC 8005’s pricing starts higher, reflecting its facilities and all-inclusive model (details to confirm). It is available for stays of at least 4 months, with no fixed move-in date currently listed.
Who Is This Residence For?
SPC 8005 suits students who value a structured, facility-rich living environment. Based on resident reviews, the property includes a cinema room, sports room, game room, gym, and pool. These amenities make it attractive for those who want entertainment and fitness options without leaving the building.
The residence also offers organised programmes and classes. One reviewer, Hani, noted: “I especially appreciated being able to take Spanish and Catalan classes, where I learned useful expressions that I could actually use while traveling.” This suggests the property caters to international students looking to integrate into local culture and language.
With unit types ranging from 3-bedroom to 5-bedroom shared apartments, as well as branded independent houses, it works for groups of friends who want to live together, or for individual students willing to share. The minimum lease of four months is flexible enough for a semester abroad or a shorter summer course.
Given the high overall Google rating of 4.5 stars from 196 reviews, most residents appear satisfied. The positive feedback highlights the social atmosphere and the variety of activities organised by staff.
Who Might Want to Look Elsewhere?
SPC 8005 is not the most budget-friendly option in Barcelona. The city’s lowest-priced student rooms start at €250 per month, while this residence begins at €595. That gap is significant for students on a tight budget.
The property’s shared-living model (3–5 bedrooms per unit) may not suit those who prefer full privacy or a studio apartment. No private-one-bedroom units are listed; all options involve shared kitchens and common areas.
Some guests have noted practical quirks. Reviewer Vanessa Smith gave 4 stars and mentioned: “Be aware that there is a light switch that has a motion sensor in the kitchen, and that light is really bright directly in the face of the one sleeping nearby.” This indicates that the layout of certain rooms may affect sleep quality for light-sensitive individuals.
Also, while the residence provides many facilities, the location is not specified beyond “Spain.” If you need to be within walking distance of a particular campus, you should verify the exact address and commute times with the operator.

“I stayed at BLAU for 13 nights and had a great experience overall.

Note: Some reviews refer to the property as “BLAU” or “Blau,” which appears to be the residence’s sub-brand. The official name on the platform is SPC 8005.
Price Positioning and Room Types
The monthly rent range for SPC 8005 is €595–€18,316. This wide span likely reflects differences in room size, number of flatmates, and possibly seasonal rates or longer-term discounts. All prices are indicative only — confirm with the operator.
Barcelona’s overall starting price for student housing is €250 per month. SPC 8005’s minimum (€595) is about 2.4 times that baseline, placing it in the mid-to-upper tier for shared accommodation. For the upper end of the range, you may be looking at a very large private apartment or a premium house unit.
Room types available:
- 3-bedroom apartment (shared)
- 4-bedroom apartment (shared)
- 5-bedroom apartment (shared)
- Branded independent house (could be a villa or duplex, depending on operator)
The residence includes Wi-Fi and has a lift/elevator. No deposit amount is listed — ask the operator directly.
Because the price range is so broad, it is essential to check the exact cost for the specific unit and dates you need. A gap of €595 to over €18,000 cannot be explained by shared rooms alone; the high end may represent a fully private independent house for a group.
Booking Timing
Booking well in advance is strongly recommended, especially for stays in the high season (summer and early autumn). Johannes’ review highlights that “during the high season, it is extremely difficult to find affordable housing for students.” This suggests that availability dries up quickly for popular months.
The property does not currently list a specific available-from date, so you will need to contact the operator to confirm when rooms open up. Given the minimum lease of 4 months, if you plan to move in around September (typical academic year), start looking as early as March or April to secure a spot.
Because prices are indicative and subject to change, always verify the final amount before booking.
FAQ
Is the price all-inclusive?
The listing does not explicitly state what is covered in the monthly rent. Based on typical European student residences, the price likely includes water, electricity, heating, and internet (Wi-Fi is listed as a tag). However, you must confirm with the operator whether bills, cleaning, or any deposits are extra. Some facilities like gym or cinema room may be included; check the fine print.
What is the minimum stay?
The minimum lease is 4 months. This makes it suitable for one academic term or a short semester. If you need a longer stay (e.g., a full academic year), you can arrange that with the operator — there is no maximum stay stated.
How do I book?
Booking is done through the independent student-housing platform where this listing appears. You can view available rooms, compare options, and submit an inquiry.
