Hotel Best Aranea

The staff were all really friendly. The young man who checked us in indulged our attempts at speaking Spanish (which we are currently learning) with patience and good humour! The room was perfectly fine. The air conditioning was on for us when we arrived and was put on each day when the room was cleaned so it was a cool sanctuary to return to after a hot day walking around Barcelona. There was tea and coffee making facilities in the room and a couple of vending machines in the reception area. The area was great with a couple of small bars/restaurants right outside and many more within easy walking distance. Also close to a couple of metro stops to get you anywhere in the city.

Staff is great. Yullia provided us with exceptional customer service. She went out of her way to help us with our needs, answered our questions in detail and even arranged our tour to Monserrat! It was convenient to be able to get tickets to tour attractions right at the front desk. The hotel is surrounded by a variety of eateries, convenient stores and there’s a laundromat right across the street.

The location could not be better: close to all the action but not too close to the noise of it. There are plenty of restaurants around and even a laundromat (that serves beer!) across the street.

The hotel is ideally located in the city centre, but off the main thoroughfares. It's a short walk from the Sagrada familia and other interesting locations. Staff at check in were lovely and super helpful. We only had breakfast at the hotel once but it was a good selection and tasty! The shower in our room had better pressure than my shower at home!

This was not my first stay, nor my last one! The reception staff is very friendly, this is one of my favourite hotels in Barcelona, it has it all for me: cleanliness, location, staff who make you feel at home, comfortable beds,...
