My family of four just spent a wonderful vacation at this lovely hotel. The building is ideally located in Barcelona's historical Gothic Quarter. We can find many of the city's must-see attractions and must-taste Catalan delicacies within a walking distance. The family room is spacious, clean and elegantly-decorated. The staff are super kind, knowledgeable and eager to help. Our family has been traveling to many cities all around of the world, and this is definitely one of the best hotels in every aspect. I highly recommend it!
Loved everything about this hotel. Staff was friendly, helpful and informative
Arai Aparthotel was a fabulous find in Barcelona right in the heart of the Gothic Quarter. We were so happy to discover this boutique hotel in a great location. Easy 5 minute walk to Las Ramblas for taxis, metra, buses, whatever you need, but also centrally located to excellent food, shopping, historical points of interest etc and removed from the riff raff on Las Ramblas (touristy pickpocket area). The only negatives I would say about this hotel were that the hot tub never worked, and the main bed in #45 was not the most comfortable. This hotel could also benefit from soft lighting on the terrace where we would go up for a glass of wine for great views.It's very dark up there at night. Rooms are nicely appointed, beautiful bathrooms. We would definitely stay here again.
Great location, spacious rooms, friendly staff. Two small things that really stood out and made this a 5/5 hotel, 2 super fast elevators and wonderfully smelling lobby.
Everyone I Cosme into contact at the hotel was kind, efficient and professional. Very helpful in making dining recommendations that were not tourist traps. Also helpful in getting oriented when Ivfirst arrived. The room was ample and bright. I would definitely go back.
Wonderful, helpful staff, really enjoyed their advice and appreciated their desire to provide great service. Location is close to major cites and subway stations, but still have secluded, quiet feel. Very nice experience.
We had friends that had stayed at the pricier snooty hotels and they all commented that they had to come to the Gothic quarter to be where all the action is. By that I mean, the restaurants and sights to see. You are minutes to the beach, aquarium, funicular, The Catalunya museum, Las Ramblas and many other sights that are too many to mention. If you wanted to take a tour (and you do) the Hotel staff will handle all of your arrangements. They will also recommend places to eat and they sent us to one place called Las Caracolas which had the best paella we ever had. Also worth mentioning was the grilled seafood platter which needs a little time to finish and two glasses of white wine, amazing. The bathroom was huge, the shower was like a car wash. I'm a big dude and it easily accommodated my wife and I (LOL). This was our 20th anniversary and upon arrival was a single rose and a complimentary bottle of wine. Its the little things that make a place great. Overall our stay was beautiful and I would recommend this Hotel to family and friends without hesitation. Enjoy!
If you love old buildings and new amenities you will love this hotel. Great location. Beautiful decor. Awesome service. The only thing this hotel doesn't have is free breakfast that's not a personal must-have for me. It's. It cheap by any means but we decided to end our vacation in style with a 5-star hotel. The concierge was very helpful - speaks English well, not only made recommendations for restaurants but also called to make sure they saved a yable for us. made reservations. Very classy. I like that they don't have a huge registration booth when you walk in. The first thing you see if this amazingly restored building. And the concierge sits at a desk nearby. And the restoration was beautifully done. Loved it every way around.
Great hotel and service (people), close to everything but not too close.
Beautiful hotel in the heart of Barcelona! I wish they had parking in or close to their location. Difficult to travel at midnight with a small child and luggage and not have parking. Otherwise, hotel was beautiful and clean. Beds could be a bit softer
Hotel staff very professional. Accommodations exceeded expectations with stocked refrigerator, quality of linens and very, very, helpful staff!
