Booked a doubleroom in this hotel for two nights, the decisive factor was 10 min straight walk to the barcelona nord bus-station down the same street. The hotel is extremely easy to find, and the staff at reception speaks good english and was helpful. You can leave your bags at the hotel if your departure is after the checkout time... more

Recently spent four days in Barcelona. I was lucky enough to pick a good hotel. After agonizing over the positive & negative revues, I settled on the Aranea. Yes, there is something everywhere that is not to the liking, but for a reasonably priced hotel, I think some of the revues were a bit harsh. Yes, the halls and plumbing... more

I found that overall this was a good choice of hotel, especially for the price but not sure if I would choose to stay again. Myself and my friend both found it a little to far out for our liking. It is within walking distance of the main precinct around the Ramblas but it is a good 20 mins or... more

Back in Barcelona again and working at the Auditori (concert hall) this time which is why I was staying at the Aranea - it was 13 minutes walk (there - downhill) and about 17 minutes (back - uphill) in horrible humid sunless weather last week. The room (partner was here too) was paid for but I checked the same dates... more

The rooms are spacious, well maintained and attractively decorated. The bed is reasonably comfortable. There was no noise from the street, at least not on 5th floor where we stayed. The street the hotel is located on has many cafes and shops nearby. It is a 10-15 minute walk to the metro, about 6 blocks or so. The breakfast buffet... more

My review scores pretty much say it all, the hotel was fantastic value for money, having been found for an amazing deal and offering luxury that was unprecedented for the price of the accommodation. However, the location might be a bit too far out for those wanting to be right in the thick of the central Barcelona action, although an... more

Large double room, clean bathroom, in nice, quiet location. But 4-5 blocks away from the nearest metro station. Nice service and but not very good at English language. Didn't try their breakfast as there was an excellent bread-pasterie store in 30m of the main entrance, straight the other side of the road. Shoap only from shower-gel bottle. TV channels only... more

I stayed with my mother at the Apsis earlier this month. This was a return visit to Barcelona for me and I was familiar with the Eixample area. For clarification you may find this hotel on the web under Apsis Atrium as well. It seems to have changed hands or merged recently. The hotel is in a great location just... more

Hi, we stayed 4 nights at Aranea Apsis Hotel, from 18th-22nd of March. Booked through Venere.com, payed very reasonable price, 54EUR/night, +11EUR/breakfast/person. Hotel is clean, with small but nice rooms, bathroom completely clean as well. Minibar with some soft drinks and maybe beers. Metro stations (Girona and Tetuan) within 5-8 minutes walking distance. Inmediate check-in at arrival, no problems at... more
