We only stayed the one night but it was a great stay. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the water pressure was great and also hot. It’s definitely an older hotel and I wish it would have been a bit cooler in our room, or we even had the option to make it cooler, but other than that that’s my only complaint. Their check out wasn’t until 12pm, which is really nice compared to any other hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Wish we could have stayed here longer!

the hotel is clean, but it's located on a busy street with cars traffic and road construction happening daily. it's close to Segrada Familia bascilica which is why we booked it. we had a room on 1st floor. the room was very stuffy and the hotel does not have A/C on until summer months. Too hot to sleep at night so have to open window, but lots of road noise and people yelling and talk loudly all through the night!! the staff was unable to get us a higher floor unless we pay $20 a night for upgrade room! lucky it was just 3 nights i think i would book elsewhere if given the choice again. this was not a cheap priced hotel. it was just OK, not great.

Great easy stay not far from La Sagrada, and also close to the metro (10 minute walk). Walkable to lots of little restaurants too. Quieter area which was nice. Great bathroom space too.

I had a pleasant stay at Hotel Best Aranea. The location is great, quiet surroundings, which made for a restful night’s sleep. The room was small, but since I was traveling alone, it was sufficient and comfortable. The only downside was some noise from the corridor in the morning, but it wasn’t a major issue. I didn’t try the hotel breakfast and wouldn’t recommend it anyway, as there are plenty of excellent brunch spots nearby. Overall, a good option for a quiet and convenient stay in the area.

Small rooms. There is just one suite available on the 8th floor. Seemed to be a bit of an after-thought by the designer but I'd take the upgrade of you can.
