La ubicación es muy conveniente pero en desacuerdo con la limpieza de la habitación. La ropa de cama (cobertores) no estaban limpias, el olor a sucio era desagradable. El espacio para bañarse no estaba propiamente limpio.

I chose to stay at Hotel Aranea because of how close it was to the Sagrada Familia and also the Monumental metro station (about a 10 minute walk for each place). Breakfast was the standard European Continental style with some American scrambled eggs and bacon. I felt pretty safe walking around the surrounding area. The only negative thing is that the shower stall feels like a phone booth, which made showering a bit of a challenge. Overall, I would consider staying here again when I come back to Barcelona.

We liked the area and how walkable it was. Hotel was nice but I will say it’s not a super big bang for your buck. Definitely quiet and clean but our AC didn’t really work. Most of the staff was kind but didn’t really go above and beyond or show any sympathy. Kind of seemed like they didn’t really care. We were only there one night and while it wasn’t necessarily bad, I would not book again. If so, make sure you are arriving right at check in time or have a plan to not really be in the hotel. This experience could be slightly skewed but I feel like you can find better elsewhere.

Great hotel

Lovely hotel in the centre of Barcelona, it was very clean and the facilities in the room were modern. The staff were friendly and helpful. Aircon in the room worked perfectly. The roof terrace was a nice place to go and read in the sun. My only issue was that I could hear the people in the room next door. Overall I would definitely use this hotel again when visiting barcelona .

Decent location. Breakfast buffet was nice. I am noticeably pregnant and asked the woman at the front desk if there was anywhere I could fill my water bottle, she said "No, but you can fill your water outside from the street fountain" I did not seeing as there were birds bathing in there previously and later found out that drinking that water can make you seriously ill.

This hotel exceeded our expectations. The staff was always ready to help and the breakfast was very good. The best thing is the proximity to so many places! We walked to Sagrada Familia, Casa Batlló, La pedrera, we even walked to Arco del Triunfo and to Barceloneta beach! Great location and very affordable hotel. Would definitely stay again. We read reviews mentioning the area is loud and that the air conditioning is not cool enough, we didn’t experience anything like that. The rooms were very clean, plenty of towels and even had water for us.

Lack of security

So 10 minutes after entering their lobby we had a backpack stolen. Even though we knew of very high incidence of pickpockets still did not expect it from inside the hotel. Yes they did have signs saying be careful around lobby but when your trying to checkin you don’t notice. Since we both had to sign checkin we left luggage just 6 feet behind us still someone came in and switched our backpack for an empty one filled with trash. So all caught on cctv which we weren’t allowed to see also requested to speak to hotel manager but even with a 5 night stay that never happened. So seems laws in Barcelona are such that no attempt to stop theft is made. Still person at checin could have warned us not to leave bags unattended. Lobby had large windows very close to street and use of blinds to block view would have helped. Also no elevator security did not have to use key card to use it so anyone could have access to rooms. Otherwise excellent location easy walking to all the main sights and lots ofbars and restaurants within blocks. Clean decent breakfast nice roof view but odd design on corner gave us a view of a brick wall. Warning you are never safe anywhere in Barcelona but it is one of the most beautiful cities on earth.
