Nicely appointed with rooms big enough for a family. The ability to cook breakfast was great considering a grocery store was a 2 minute walk. The front desk staff was very helpful. It is located in the middle of the gothic section and a walk from most attractions.

Great location- so close to everything, great service, and great convenience to have a Kitchenette. The only thing I'd change would be to offer a smart tv so if one would like to watch TV using their app sign on "like Netflix". Staff was amazing, and very helpful.

Sleepless in Arai Aparthotel

The hotel is quaint right in the Gothic quarter. The attendants were pleasant and efficient. The room was clean but the bed was not comfortable. The real problem was that our room faced onto a public square where partying went on until the sun came up. On our last night, Feb. 28, a woman was in the hotel literally screaming for hours. The police were called but the screaming continued. We called the front desk twice. Exhausted, upon check out we asked for some sort of compensation which was not offered. We were told the manager was not in and there has been no effort to contact us. Although it is easy to dismiss requests from international guests, they are not doing themselves any favours. If they had followed up with us, I would not be writing this poor review. So in conclusion, the property is pretty but if your plan is to sleep, choose another place.

Excellent Aparthotel

Exceptional Aparthotel. Very well equipped, with luxury toiletries (The White Company) hairdryer, fabulous multi function shower. Fridge (minibar) stocked. Complimentary Nespresso coffee and creamer. Breakfast is boxed to order as an extra cost, so no dining facility, but you are surrounded by many bars and restaurants. Arai felt safe, room card entry to reception. Staff super helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend.
