Hotel Best Aranea - Photo Gallery

We were in Barcelona for about 18 hours. We chose this hotel for its proximity to the Sagreda Cathedral. The hotel is nicely situated in a neighbourhood that allows you to walk to the cathedral or out for dinner. Our room was very clean and extremely quiet. The bed was really comfortable. The breakfast has a wide variety of choice. There is a rooftop terrace that provides a really neat view of the streets below, something you don’t appreciate when you are walking along them. My only negative-ish comment is the outside of the hotel - it looks a bit dirty and neglected, which didn’t set a great first impression. But I would still highly recommended this hotel. The cleanliness of the rooms, great breakfast, friendly staff and great location.

The service is good and the location is near by the sightseeing spot. The front desk staff is good , especially Ms Yuliia, she is very politely and willing to offer assistance at any time.

The location of the hotel is very near the sighting spot . The hotel room is small. The service is ok.

It’s a basic hotel but okay for a short stay. The staff are polite. It’s close to Sagrada- 10 minutes on foot. Breakfast was good enough.

Nice place to stay in. such a quiet room and surround by many restaurant

Perfect for an overnight stopover in Barcelona. Well located on Carrer Consell de Cent in Eixample, near restaurants and bars. 24 hour reception, clean and simple amenities in the room.

The staff is ok, but service is also about the system. It’s a budget hotel, and you feel it. When I arrived near midnight, the door was locked. There was only one person on duty, so the poor chap had to lock the door to go toilet. My first room had windows facing a depressing ugly narrow air well, not stated in booking, so I asked for a change. My second room was better, facing a cross junction 2nd floor, it’s noisy but at least not depressing. If you need to leave your bag, I recall you need to put in a paid locker. I didn’t try. Doubt I’ll come back. After I extended my stay in BCN, I stayed at nicer places for about the same price. The trick is to book a further out place under a local hotel chain but with a convenient interchange train station. I later book Hotel Catalonia Sagrada Familia, near El Clot Arago, it’s much further out, but nice hotel, nice neighbourhood with a nice tree-lined eatery walking street. and surprisingly convenient, with both regional and local trains at my doorstep. Earlier, I also stayed at a budget place really near Placa de Cataluyna, worse older rooms but super convenient. After those experiences, my stay at Best Aranea just couldn’t compare. That said it was nice to have a tub. Although in BCN, you really don’t have time or need for that.

First of all, I am just sharing my personal experience as a guest staying at the hotel. First of all, the location of the hotel can be said to be an excellent location in the center of Barcelona. It is about 25 to 30 minutes away from Barcelona Beach, Plaza Catalunya, Sagrada Familia and Casa Mila. The geographical location should be OK. The hotel rooms are very average. Their rooms are not too big, about 12 square meters. When booking a hotel, you must make sure whether the room they give you has a street view because the room I stayed in this time was relatively poor. The room they gave me had a patio outside the window, and it was on the lowest floor, so the guests felt very bad. The price/performance ratio of this hotel is not too high. At present, in the center of Barcelona, ​​hotels like this are basically Basically, the price and service are basically the same, and there may be a situation of random charges, because for a hotel like this, the variety of breakfast and food, including everything, is just average, but the price is expensive. This is what I think. From the actual situation, the hotel's front desk service and room service, including everything, should be OK, but there are many details that are not done well. There is also a fatal problem. If you want to book this hotel and drive yourself, you have to consider the cost. The parking fee for one day is ¥66.2. This price should be in Spain. Although it is normal, I think it seems that if foreigners come to drive to the parking lot, the price of 66 yuan is a bit high. This hotel also has a better place, because there is a kettle in this room? Chinese people like to drink hot water, which is still relatively warm. Then the glass cups in the restaurant are not cleaned, which may be a special case, but I think the hygiene of the restaurant is average.

The room was spacious and there was plenty of space to spread out my suitcase. I thought the room cleaning was quite sloppy compared to Japan, but that's probably fine for overseas travel. The front desk staff were polite and gave me a complimentary bottle of water as a welcome drink. There is no laundry in the hotel, but there is a coin laundry right in front, so that's not a problem. The view of Sagrada Familia from the rooftop terrace was exceptional.
