Review

It is perfect if you want to avoid the party scene and actually focus on your degree. The room is not huge, but it is extremely comfortable and the daily cleaning service makes you feel like you live in a hotel.

This is the biggest selling point: absolute silence. Located near the forest, there is zero traffic noise at night; you only hear birds chirping in the morning.

The connection is wired and very stable, suitable for online exams or video calls. I have never experienced any downtime or lag while studying.

It feels more like a country club than a student residence. We have our own bus service to universities, and the dining hall offers a healthy buffet (grilled fish, salads) which is amazing.

It is a gated community with 24/7 security guards at the entrance. It is probably the safest place to live in the entire city; nothing ever happens here.

The grounds are massive, basically a private park. There are paddle tennis courts, a football pitch, and a swimming pool surrounded by grass.

Sarrià is the posh, upper-class part of Barcelona. It is extremely safe, green, and full of expensive bakeries, but it lacks the chaotic energy of the center.

The streets here are pristine. There is no graffiti, no trash on the sidewalks, and the air quality is much better than downtown because of the proximity to the mountain.

The biggest downside is the isolation. You have to rely on the FGC train (Reina Elisenda stop) to get to Plaza Catalunya, which takes time and stops running around midnight during the week.
