Hotels near Poble Espanyol 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.

The only good thing in the hotel is the staff... all the other quite bad... rooms (because we saw more than one) quite disappointed. Photos are very well made. That if a staff of 10!! Breakfast is okay, it is scarce in variety but is okay

I am a solo female traveler, came to stay in this hostel for 4 nights. This was my first experience staying in a hostel and it went definitely amazing thanks to Factory Hostel and it’s amazing stuff. Everyone working here is so friendly, they always smile and help you in the best possible way (Special thanks to Maria Laura). All receptionists are fluent in Spanish and English. They all have been truly lovely. They do cleaning everyday, they serve delicious cake and coffee around 2 EUR. People that stay here is also nice and friendly, you can have good friendships if you would like to. Beds and pillows are pretty comfortable, curtains give you a little privacy which is nice, they give you considerably big cabinet to lock your belongings, air conditioning working 7/24, they have a cute kitchen and lounge areas to enjoy the stay. It is very close to Park Güell, a little far from beach and center but there is always public transportation that you can use, takes about 30-45 mins to go wherever you want (including walking to stops). I would %100 recommend and if I ever come back to Barcelona would definitely stay here again!

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

I visited as part of a hen party and we stayed for 3 nights. We were spread around the hotel which was not an issue. Rooms were a mix of two bed and three bed. Rooms were good sized with comfortable beds. Location was good and we were able to get to our choice of venues easily by either booking a taxi or flagging one down. We were a bit disappointed that reception staff were unable to help with booking taxis but it was easy enough to do ourselves. One negative was that there was a bag of rubbish in my room when I arrived. It was obviously from the emptying of the bins and the cleaner had forgotten to take it out but it contained food and was on the sofa so not good to be met with. I did not eat in this hotel. There are eating places and shops nearby and vending machines in the foyer for that late night snack. I would stay in this hotel again.

Nous sommes venu 2 nuits à 3 personnes. Très bon accueil, centre ville à 10min pour manger, chambre propre, grand lit 2 personnes, frigo, évier, micro ondes à disposition dans la chambre. Seul petit bémol, on entendait le bruit dans le couloir et dans la chambre voisine la première nuit.

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.

I stayed 5 nights in the accommodation and the truth that was all very pleasant. The staff boys all with the best of the waves always and available for any doubt I had. I highlight the work of Ceci, Diogo, Alan, Sofi and Geri. The hotel is very comfortable and the common rooms of the best of the Hostel. The only point in the way of ” complain” is that my goal at the Hostel was to meet people, within all my age and just throughout my stay there was a trip of primary and secondary children, who occupied all the rooms of the hotel.
