Hotels near Gothic Quarter in Barcelona

The hotel is excellent, with few negative points (see below). It is new, modern and functional. The location is not so central for tourists, and the metro is about 10 minutes walk. I recommend the hotel. Possible points: - large, new, modern and well-equipped room; - large and functional bathroom; - hairdryers; - bed linen with quality fabric; - very good breakfast; - no carpet, and yes wood floor (more hygienic and less allergenic); - good air conditioning control; - careful staff, both breakfast and reception. Points to be improved: - the wi-fi signal is unstable and slow, falling all hours; - the hygienic paper could be of better quality; - the sticks of the larger sticks do not cover the sides (be open), leaving the inner part exposed, which is not very hygienic there, since only the fence is exchanged for each new guest (and not the internal part); - the free toilet items, including body hydrant, are missing, which is always useful when you are in Europe; - they could leave bottles of free water in the room (or in the reception space), as other hotels in this category are currently doing.

The employees was very helpful and kind! The hotel room was clean and modern. Close to transportation, the airport and centrum. You can either walk 20-30 minutes to the centrum, or take the metro that goes right next to the hotel(10-15 minutes). I bought a metro-ticket that lasted for 5 days and paid about 10 euros. Option to take taxi 5-10 minutes to the centrum. The beach is about 25 minutes by car and cost between 25 to 35 euros, depends on what time of the day or which day of the week. I had a very pleasant stay, and I recommend this hotel!

Hotel is perfectly located in the city centre, near by Sagrada Familia and few minutes by foot to other Barcelona sites. Few minutes by foot to different metro stops - like (Purple line L2) Monumental, Tetuan, Sagrada Familia and (yellow line L4) Girona. You can basically go anywhere (beach, Rambla, parks, many good tapas bars). Hotel staff is really friendly and able to help. The rooms are quite small and when you come with suitcases, there is not much space left to move, but it can be handled. The beds were clean and comfy. I was not that happy with bathroom - there were black hair in the bath (we both are blonde) and the towels did not smell nice. I smelled chlorine from it. I know that the towels need to be washed with disinfection, but then it should be washed away. We had paid stay with breakfast. The breakfast staff sometimes was a bit confused, when we came for the breakfast separately, also some did not understand English very well. Because my friend has gluten free diet, there were not many things (except the fruits, ham and cheese) that she could eat. The variety of breakfast food I would suggest should be wider. Also I would be happy to have some fresh servings too (for e.g. ham and eggs, freshly made coffee - not just from the machine). Also any coffee made from the machine with milk was sweet. I love coffee with milk but without sugar and there was no opportunity to have it. Anyway, the resume is that we were happy to stay at Hotel Aranea in Barcelona and would recommend it to my friends.

First solo trip and my first time staying at a hostel, definitely see myself doing it again. There was some stuff that kinda ****** like you could hear people coming in and out of other rooms because the walls are pretty thin. The room was clean and comfortable tho

Stayed at this hotel for 5 nights at the end of May. The room was quite small, but adequate for a few days, clean and the bed was very comfortable.. Overlooked the pool area and apartments. Had a fridge and safe. The reception staff were always friendly and helpful and advised us where to catch a bus or where the nearest Metro station was. The stop Clot , line 1, was nearest to the hotel and lead into the centre of Barcelona. The breakfasts were very good, Omelettes & eggs, bacon, sausage etc were cooked fresh to order. Cereals, meats, bread, pastries, fruit, juices etc were on the buffet and were constantly refilled. Restaurants and bars were within easy walking distance, as was the Torre Glories (like the London gherkin). Sagrada Familia was about 15 minutes walk. the beach was about 35 minutes walk (or catch the V25 bus) Overall a lovely Bank holiday break.

Typical Novotel property, away from the city center but reachable by public transport, direct public transport bus (L77) is available for euro 2.40 to reach the hotel (Last stop) - refer to Google map. Nice and comfortable lobby and room, L-3 tram is available at 400m from the hotel which drops you at the nearest metro station, staff will advise about the same and city center attractions. The room was spacious with all the required amenities The reception staff was very nice special mention to Ms. Paula, she explained to us how to use the public transport in line with the attractions upon our arrival, Ms. Jessica was also great during our checkout Does it have a repeat value? for us Yes. We love to stay in this property again whenever we come to Barcellona.

Please do not live in this hotel, it’s basically not in Barcelona, you have to take the public transportation up to 1 hour to get to Barcelona by transferring at least twice. The wi-fi is too unstable to even watch youtube video. Most importantly, some staff are NOT capable of their jobs. On the first day I came here, I called the reception and asked about the laundry fee, a Tall Thin old man told me and emphasized twice that the laundry fee is included in the room and said they would ask people to pick up my clothes. However, nobody came. When I called again, a middle-aged woman told me that I have to drop the clothes in the reception because they don’t have time for me now. As she said, I went down with my bag of clothes. However, an old man in the reception said I should not give them the clothes but to leave in my room. But they can ask people to drop the clothes in my room and then took them to the laundry. What a mess! When I picked up my laundry I was surprised that there was a long bill since the guy in reception clearly said the lauded was in the room fee. And when I went to the reception and asked, the girl with long blond hair confront with me and acted very condescending. To quote exactly what she said ‘No, you must misunderstood, you room even did not include the breakfast, it came with nothing, only the wi-fi. Laundry fee is not in the room, everyone knows!’ I explained patiently multiple times and asked her to maybe ask her college because I didn’t tell a lie but she rolled her eyes and literally said ‘I can’t do anything, if you don’t understand, you go ask my boss’ and pointed to the boss (an old man stand right besides her talking to another customer). Before I opened my mouth, this girl talked in Spanish to her ‘boss’ first and the old guy frowned. I was pretty sure she tell the truth. I didn’t say I don’t want to pay the laundry, but I have to check what I heard. The way these staff did their jobs and solve problems were one hundred percent unprofessional and annoying. I love traveling in Barcelona but these few people just made our impression on Spanish hotels go down.

A 4-star hotel in an industrial district. Plenty of restaurants and a shopping mall within walking distance.

我们在这里度过了愉快的时光。 我们特别感谢克里斯蒂安 ( Christian)，在我们办理入住手续时（因为他来警告我们的年长成员在他们在大厅等候时要小心扒手），并为我们的年长成员提供了一个贷款水壶。 酒店客房一流、干净、宽敞且功能强大。 我们会回来的 ！！ We had a wonderful stay in this super efficient hotel. Rooms are clean, spacious and highly functional. Very warm services ( especially thankful to Christian) to warn our elder members on pickpocket and gave a loan kettle). Highly recommended. We will be back.

Fab hotel! Rooms were very clean, the hotel includes a free pool, gym & sauna. Staff on desk were lovely and very welcoming. Hotel is right next to a kfc, Burger King, mc Donald’s & shopping centre. Only faults I would say is that the room looked slightly different to the picture, it was meant to have a sofa in and a runner along the bed, without this it made it look very bare. It’s about a 10-15 min walk from the train station which leads you into Barcelona however if you are wanting to go into Barcelona everyday I would recommend getting a hotel closer! It takes about a hour in total to get there, great hotel if you are only wanting to go into the centre 1-2 times whilst you are there. Due to this I probably wouldn’t stay again/if I did it would only be for one night. The breakfast was very disappointing! €26 for 2 people which was for one day however there was only bacon, sausages, veg & egg. No vegetarian option for the meat and not much variety at all, the pastries were nice and so was the juice however definitely not worth the price! There is a lovely strip which is full of bars next to the train station, also a lidl round corner from hotel which is very handy.
