Across the reviews, Hotel Best Aranea stands out for its convenient location near Sagrada Familia and transport, generally friendly and helpful staff, and overall clean spaces, giving many guests a comfortable, good value base for exploring Barcelona.
Rooms are often small and somewhat dated, with thin walls or street noise in some areas, limited temperature control on the AC, and Wi-Fi that can be weak or unreliable. Breakfast feedback is mixed, ranging from adequate or good variety to complaints about repetitive options and hot items served lukewarm. Facilities are simple in an older building, but the rooftop terrace with Sagrada views and luggage lockers are appreciated touches. Expect a practical, city-center stay focused on location over extras.

サグラダ・ファミリアから歩いて10分かからないくらい近くです。部屋からも屋上テラスからもサグラダファミリアを見ることができます。ホテル前の交差点はコインランドリーやカフェがあったりコンビニ風の店があったり便利です。散歩が好きな人ならカサ・ミラにもやカサ・バトリョにも歩いて行けます。スタッフも新設でおすすめします。

建物と設備に古さを感じますが、4泊しても毎日お掃除が行き届いていたので、問題なく過ごすことができました。 サグラダファミリアまで歩いて行ける距離、ガウディスポットが多い新市街も遠くなく、旧市街には地下鉄やバスで行けばＯＫというロケーション。屋上からサグラダファミリアも臨めますし、現在のバルセロナでは比較的コスパよく泊まれるホテルです。 近くに、スーパーや地元の人が利用する人気カフェ＆バルもあって楽しく滞在できました。

Great stay! Easy check in process, and they even had luggage lockers to store our items in while exploring the city before we could check in, which was so nice! Also, the 12pm check out time was great as we were heading for the airport and wanted to sleep in before the long haul back home.

Great stay as it was my first time in Barcelona. The room was clean and specious. Towels were provided daily and the breakfast was magnificent. The staff thankfully spoke English and were extremely kind and understanding with any and all questions you may have. The subway and bus stations are a few minutes away and there’s a super market a block away if you need anything. Overall great stay and the neighborhood and area around the hotel is safe.

The hotel is conveniently located by Sagrada Familia and the metro station, about 9 minutes walk. The 24-hr front desk staff was great upon check-in/out. The room is small but still spacious enough for two people to fully unpack. We had daily housekeeping and got fresh towels, even when we planned on reusing the towels. The rooms are not sound proofed but we couldn’t hear our neighbors at all. We slept well at night. The bathroom is quite large with a tub/shower with a moveable glass door that you must place it in a specific position ensuring the base rubber is pointing towards the tub to avoid water spillage everywhere. I get that they tried to make the glass as a door, but being a tub, I don’t see how this is needed or would work well. Even with our best efforts, we still had quite significant amount of water leaking after showers. We found some mold behind the toilet as it’s installed so close to the wall that it must be hard to properly clean it. Outside of that, everything else was very good. The hotel offers breakfast at an additional charge but we did not have any as we wanted to try the local restaurants and shops. But it’s a nice to have option, specially if you are running short on time. Overall this was a good value, specially for the area.

Reception staff was very helpful and kind, recommending places and restaurants. Issues with cleanliness however (found 1 cockroach in the bathroom). Though cleaning was indicated as daily, it was clearly not done properly (below toilet seat not cleaned, hairs found in the bathtub, bedsheets not changed with stains, complimentary instant coffee and tea were not refilled). The air conditioning was forcefully turned off and we had to open the window. This resulted in me and my partner catching a very bad cough from day 2, and still ongoing. Breakfast was simple but got the job done.

The hotel was well located, and all the good spots were within walking distance. Unfortunately, the room was extremely small, partially dirty (chips on the floor, bed linen not clean), and we had some ants in the bathroom, which was very rundown.

Guestrooms and corridors appear to have been renovated in past few years and nicely appointed. Air conditioning is limited with the thermostat not permitted to be set colder than 23.4 degrees Celsius (74 degrees Fahrenheit); as someone who needs a cool room to sleep, this was disappointing. It did cool down some once the sun went down and I opened a window to cool the room down a bit, but won’t be able to keep the window open all night due to the busy street below.

Positives The hotel is in an excellent location. Quite quiet and safe with public transport and shops, restaurants all very close.10 minutes from Sagrada Familia, 15 minutes from Arc De Triumph and a beautiful park and around 40 minutes walk to the center and the marina area. The hotel staff were lovely and helpful when we needed some advice regarding transport. The downsides Our room overlooked a wall. We literally didn't have any other view. Not a huge problem but it was disappointing for the price we paid. We were also unable to regulate the settings on the air-conditioning so the room was very cold sometimes. Another downside was that you could hear everything. Even people next door, just having a normal conversation, staff working in the morning etc. Overall, we had a great time in Barcelona. It's an amazing city and the hotel was a great base to stay in, especially if you manage to book at a good price. Enjoy

Not impressed, slightly below average for a 3 star hotel. The hotel building is OK. Bed comfort has important shortfalls. For them a king bed is using 2 single beds together with the sheets being too small for this size, so they do not fit properly and also 2 people canot be properly covered by the blankets. TV is really really tiny. The electronic thermostat changes nothing, so you have no control of the room temperature. The breakfast is well below average for Spain; on top of the limited food selection they do not keep the food warm, so scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes are cold and undercooked. The service and cleanliness are OK.

O quarto e o banheiro são amplos, mesmo com o quarto de frente pra rua era silencioso, café da manhã bom e bem variada as opções. Funcionários educados e prestativos. A localização do hotel é excelente, próxima a restaurantes, lavandeira, salão, metrô e de pontos turísticos como a Sagrada Familia.

Walking distance to many top attractions. Felt very safe even late at night for 2 women walking. Close to metro if needed.

Great location, close to two metro stops and a ten minute walk to Sagrada Familia. Couldn’t hear any street noise from our room. Friendly staff.

This hotel provided all we look for: clean, quiet, everything worked as it should: a/c, great shower pressure, drainage. The breakfast had enough variety. The location was great for us; close enough to walk to most attractions (we like to walk a lot) but it feels like a more normal neighborhood than in the heart of the touristic old town. There were many great choices for restaurants within a few blocks in every direction. No complaints!

L'emplacement de l'hôtel est vraiment très central. Tout près de la ligne de tramway et de plusieurs stations de métro. Il est possible de se rendre à pieds, en 10 à 30 minutes, à de nombreux endroits comme la Sagrada Familia, le centre commercial de Glories, le vieux Barcelone, la gare d'autocar (10 minutes de marche), même les plages de Poblenou ou le parc de Ciutadella. La station de Passeig de Gracia, desservi par le train reliant la ville à l'aéroport, est aussi à distance de marche. L'hôtel est propre et le personnel très sympathique. Bon wifi gratuit. Le petit-déjeuner est possible sur place mais il y a aussi de nombreuses options à proximité y compris en face même de l'hôtel. Seul bémol, les corridors ont des planchers en dur de sorte qu'il amplifient le bruit. Par conséquent, le bruit peut être dérangeant à l'occasion (portes qui claquent, bruits de voix, entretien ménager). J'ai été incommodé par le bruit à quelques reprises, tard le soir ou tôt le matin mais sans que ce soit un problème trop fréquent.

Great location, close enough to the main Barcelona tourist attractions and far enough to be in a quiet zone. Supermarket and small groceries shop within minutes of the hotel.

Shower head holder was broken so had to shower by hand. No hair cream rinse available. ‘Free’ breakfast was horrible. (You could see all the guests at breakfast every day were perplexed as to why the breakfast was so inadequate) Very small soap bars that disintegrated immediately. Expected a little better class of hotel for the price.

The breakfast buffet was excellent, but it was a little disorganized, similar things (such as sweets, bread, etc) were far apart from each other. The staff was helpful, room was comfortable and location is excellent

Enjoyed our stay very much. Staff were very helpful. Beds were comfy. The only negative was the breakfast for 9 euros per person the eggs potatoes and bacon were prepared and just left out - not in a chafing dish so everything was cold.

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.

Excellent location : most of main attractions within walking distance. I didn't like much breakfast : little variation of salads & vegetables, luck of yogurts. Black tea wasent suitable to drink with milk.

Not impressed, slightly below average for a 3 star hotel. The hotel building is OK. Bed comfort has important shortfalls. For them a king bed is using 2 single beds together with the sheets being too small for this size, so they do not fit properly and also 2 people canot be properly covered by the blankets. TV is really really tiny. The electronic thermostat changes nothing, so you have no control of the room temperature. The breakfast is well below average for Spain; on top of the limited food selection they do not keep the food warm, so scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes are cold and undercooked. The service and cleanliness are OK.

Good room, clean, good air con. The bathroom was modern and had good touches like the shower gel /shampoo etc. good location and easy to get to, no issues with checking or checkout. Breakfast was good but for me as a vegan wasn’t the best - there was minimal things I could eat on the buffet. Although there was soy milk available which was a bonus, not many options in the actual buffet. But we only stayed for 1 night so wasn’t a big deal. Liked the hotel and good value for money.

The hotel’s location is great. It’s a short walk to many restaurants and cafe’s and also to the Hop on Hop off city tour. The Aranea is very clean and the staff were great. One exception was on check out, when I wasn’t asked anything about our stay. Also 4 not 5 because we felt the breakfast is very sub par. It was the exact same everyday and not very good. I would not choose the breakfast plan again. Much better options within 5 minutes of the hotel.

Breakfast needs improvement in quality of the food. Bacon was not cooked well- mostly soaked wet and not toasted and offered only one breakfast morning - following day, it was not available. Over cooked boiled eggs.
