Frequently asked questions

Everything people usually ask us

Bookings, prices, rooms and living together. If your answer is not here, write to us and we will reply within 24 working hours.

Booking & contracts

How to secure a place and what happens next.

How do I book a room?

Send us the contact form or call us. We confirm availability, send you the booking proposal with prices and dates, and once you accept we formalise the contract digitally.

When does the 2026/27 academic year open?

The residence opens in September 2026. Bookings for the full academic year are open now, and the most in-demand types (Classic studios) tend to sell out first.

Can I book for one semester only?

Yes. Priority goes to full academic-year stays, but we do have semester and short-stay availability depending on the period. Ask us for your specific dates.

Do I need a guarantor?

We work with conditions designed for international and local students. Write to us and we will explain the guarantee options available for your case.

What happens if my plans change?

Tell us as soon as you know. Cancellation and change conditions are set out in the contract, and our team will look for the best solution with you.

Prices & payments

What is included and how you pay it.

What does the price include?

All utilities (water, electricity, wifi, climate control), cleaning, laundry, maintenance and access to every facility: gym, pool, terrace, study rooms, cinema and games room. One monthly payment, zero surprises.

What is the price range?

From €1,100/month for a Classic Single up to €1,980/month for a Premium Studio with balcony. Every type and its price is listed on the rooms page.

Is there a deposit?

Yes, a standard security deposit refunded at the end of the stay provided there is no damage beyond normal use. The exact amount appears in your booking proposal.

How do I pay the monthly fee?

By bank transfer or direct debit, monthly. We send the details along with your contract.

Rooms

What you will find inside your room.

Are the rooms furnished?

Yes — every room is move-in ready: bed, desk, wardrobe, private bathroom and climate control. Just bring your suitcase.

What is the difference between a single and a studio?

Singles (17–18 m²) have a private bathroom and study area, with shared kitchens. Studios (18–26 m²) add a private equipped kitchenette and a double bed; premium ones also have a lounge area.

Are there accessible rooms?

Yes. We have PMR-adapted studios with an accessible bathroom, adapted kitchenette and extra circulation space. Tell us in the form and we will reserve one for you.

Can I choose the floor or the view?

You can tell us your preference (balcony, floor, orientation) and we will do our best according to availability at the time of booking.

Living here

Day-to-day life and house rules.

What if something breaks?

We have an on-site maintenance team. Report it at reception (open 24h) and we will fix it, usually the same day.

Can I bring my pet?

Sorry, pets are not allowed. We want living together to be comfortable for every resident.

Can I have visitors?

Yes, guests are welcome in the common areas during the hours set out in the house rules. Overnight stays need to be registered at reception.

How often is the room cleaned?

Common areas are cleaned daily and rooms weekly. Laundry is available on site whenever you need it.

Is there a curfew?

No. Reception is open 24h and you can come and go freely — we only ask you to respect quiet hours.

Location & extras

The neighbourhood and resident perks.

Where exactly is the residence?

Carrer del Portal de Santa Madrona 28, in Ciutat Vella — five minutes on foot from La Rambla and the port, and well connected to the main universities.

How does the Praktik hotel discount work?

Family and visitors of our residents get 20% off at Praktik hotels in Barcelona. When booking, they just need to mention they are visiting a Residencia Port resident.

Is there parking?

Yes, paid parking spaces subject to availability, plus free secure bike storage.
