Good basic hotel in the centre of everywhere. 20mins walk to all major attractions. Reception and restaurant staff helpful and pleasant. Visited old stomping ground plus new sights. Did a hop on/off sight seeing bus did the red and blue route to get back to the Sagrada Familia Cathedral which was only a few minutes walk from the hotel. More

Award-winning sense of disenchantment here. More of a glorified motel - definitely not a hotel: one-person reception at night, can’t call down to reception, they couldn't bring anything up (like a pillow or blanket). If you’re happy to throw away good money for such little service, then you have enough money to book somewhere else. Someone is making good money... More

We stayed at the hotel for new year and were very impresses at how nice the hotel was. We didn't pay a lot to stay there so we were very impressed at how modern the rooms were and found the location to be great for getting to most places in Barcelona from. The only downside was there was no dressing... More

My wife and I stayed one night on the day before embarking on a cruise. Front desk personnel were very friendly and helpful. Check in was efficient and as an added bonus we were able to check in quite early after having arrived on a morning flight. The hotel emailed us directions using public transportation from the airport. However the... More

this was a very nice hotel located in a pleasant neighborhood. it was near some of the major sites we wanted to explore and close to public transportation that we used to go everywhere. i would recommend though that they invest in a machine to squeeze fresh orange juice as well as good coffee or espresso machine. They had an... More

There's not much going on in the neighborhood (though it is an easy walk to Sagrada Familia). The hotel itself is clean and the front desk was reasonably friendly. The cleaning staff was loud and made it impossible to sleep in past 7am. We were very lucky to have a room with a nice street view, so I'm grateful for... More

I booked this for 2 nights as part of a 4 night trip for leisure and business. Reception staff were efficient and polite - we needed directions to the Hotel from the station and the reception manager was very helpful in directing us over the phone. The Hotel was in a fairly quiet district, near to the Sagrada Familia, but... More

My wife and I were in Barcelona for 2 nites, which happened to be the weekend of La Merce. We elected to stay away from the center of activity (due in part to outrageous room prices) and settled on GBB Hotel Aranea. The location is so-so, and I probably would not choose the area again. The hotel is pretty old... More

The reception staff were very helpful and friendly. Room cleanliness and comfort was fine. TV - it would help if there was a choice other than the free-to-air Spanish TV which is not the best. Our deal included breakfast which was more a means of getting sustenance than a source of pleasure... We had a twin room which looked out... More
