Arai Aparthotel - just perfect in every way!

This property checked all the boxes from location to service to amenities to overall quality along with some unexpected special touches. We arrived early and were so thankful and appreciative of the early check-in. The hotel staff provided thoughtful recommendations throughout our stay. The overall condition of the property and our guestroom was excellent and felt very high-end, thoughtfully curated and luxurious! Highly recommend and will stay here again!

Lovely hotel. However walk or take a taxi. We drove our rented car and the streets are narrow, one way and awkward in many ways. Work on roads in old Barcelona that is inaccurately reflected in Google maps made this substantially worse. Even driving close to drop off luggage was effectively impossible. Lovely hotel: just remarkably hard to drive to. Take a taxi

The best hotel-apartment.

The location is central to everything but it’s off the busy street. The hotel is absolutely amazing and was more of an apartment with an amazing view! Walking distance to the beach, Rambla, and many other popular locations. The staff was on point and service was the BEST!! I’ve been to Barcelona numerous times and will stay here from now on.

Amazing hotel and location!

The staff were so accomodating, friendly and professional. The hotel was right in the heart of the Gothic Quarter with so much history. There were restaurants, bars, and shops all around in walking distance. In addition, the hotel was a 5 min walk to La Rambla and La Boqueria. The hotel was like a mini apartment and had a stove, large fridge and everything you need to cook dinner in your room, if you wanted to. We were so happy with our choice to stay there.

Great place to Stay in Barcelona

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.
