We really enjoyed our stay here. The building and room were clean and perfectly suited for our need. The AC did not work superior, but worked enough. I just wish it would have cooled the room a bit more to my comfort but thankful for some relief from the heat/humidity. We had a small maintenance issue one day and the staff addressed it quickly. we were so appreciative of this! What I also appreciated the most was as Spanish/Catalan is not my first language, I experienced a minor medical issue halfway during our stay. I needed to contact a local medical hotline for guidance and they had no English translator. The front desk was so gracious in translating for me with the local authorities, and then reassuring me of next steps. The next day when they saw me, they checked on me to make sure i was feeling better. That kind of care goes a long way and made me feel very thankful for their concern. We were happy with their breakfast every morning. I would def stay here again and would recommend to anyone!

There was also 2 complementary bottles of water in the fridge. It has a wonderful rooftop patio with a view of the Sagrada Famiglia, which is about a 15 minute walk away. There are restaurants in the area as well as a grocery store and wonderful place to get pastries, sandwiches and coffee (Teixido) a 2 minute walk dune the street. They also have secure luggage lockers for use to store your luggage. I would certainly recommend this hotel.

It’s a simple hotel. If you just need a place to stay in after a long day of touring the city and you don’t really care about luxurious amenities then this hotel would be fine. Check in and check out was easy, they do charge a tax upping check in but it was less then 50$ USD .the room is small and not bad for one person. There’s a few tapas and super markets in walking distance. The city center is about a 20’mins walking and traveling to anywhere in the city is easy with the unlimited options of transportation. I am sad to be leaving Barcelona but it was a wonderful stay.

Stayed at Hotel Best Aranea and overall had a decent experience mainly because of its convenient location. The hotel is in a safe and quiet area, and it’s very walkable to major attractions like Sagrada Família, which is about a 10-minute walk away. It is also close to metro stations and bus stops, making it easy to get around Barcelona.

The front desk staff were professional, but they were not particularly friendly or very helpful compared to other hotels.

Breakfast was a positive highlight with a good variety of options, including pastries, fruits, eggs, and other buffet items.

The room was clean but not very spacious, which might be expected in many European hotels. One disappointment was that we requested a queen bed but were given twin beds, and the hotel did not really try to accommodate the request.

Overall, it’s a good choice if you want a safe, well-located hotel with decent breakfast, but the small room size and lack of flexibility with bed requests were drawbacks.

Perfect location: walkable to public transportation and local attractions like the Sagrada (11 minute walk). Cafes, restaurant, laundry bar and groceries are just next door to the hotel. There’s a public construction going on outside the hotel and it was unappealing. Otherwise, I had a wonderful time in Barcelona in this hotel.

Not impressed, slightly below average for a 3 star hotel. The hotel building is OK. Bed comfort has important shortfalls. For them a king bed is using 2 single beds together with the sheets being too small for this size, so they do not fit properly and also 2 people canot be properly covered by the blankets. TV is really really tiny. The electronic thermostat changes nothing, so you have no control of the room temperature. The breakfast is well below average for Spain; on top of the limited food selection they do not keep the food warm, so scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes are cold and undercooked. The service and cleanliness are OK.

Room was just OK, they play a game between what is shown on pics compared to what they actually give you. Mgr is a painful person as he made us wait tilll 3 PM to check in which bit into our short 2 night stay in Barcelona. We left hotel at noon and had to come back to check in then start again. Breakfast was well worth pre-paying as food in Barcelona is ridiculous. each coffe in a restaurant is 1.5 euro & sandwich is 5 euro so at 9 euro this is very good to eat at hotel before you leave. Good choices/clean.

The hotel is conveniently located by Sagrada Familia and the metro station, about 9 minutes walk. The 24-hr front desk staff was great upon check-in/out. The room is small but still spacious enough for two people to fully unpack. We had daily housekeeping and got fresh towels, even when we planned on reusing the towels. The rooms are not sound proofed but we couldn’t hear our neighbors at all. We slept well at night. The bathroom is quite large with a tub/shower with a moveable glass door that you must place it in a specific position ensuring the base rubber is pointing towards the tub to avoid water spillage everywhere. I get that they tried to make the glass as a door, but being a tub, I don’t see how this is needed or would work well. Even with our best efforts, we still had quite significant amount of water leaking after showers. We found some mold behind the toilet as it’s installed so close to the wall that it must be hard to properly clean it. Outside of that, everything else was very good. The hotel offers breakfast at an additional charge but we did not have any as we wanted to try the local restaurants and shops. But it’s a nice to have option, specially if you are running short on time. Overall this was a good value, specially for the area.

The location was great for us; close enough to walk to most attractions (we like to walk a lot) but it feels like a more normal neighborhood than in the heart of the touristic old town.
There were many great choices for restaurants within a few blocks in every direction.
