Hotels near Barcelona Estación De Francia Station, Barcelona

Location was excellent…walking distance to beach, restaurants and Metro. Room was very clean albeit a little small. .. beds comfortable.Great breakfast included with plenty of choices. Staff were friendly and attentive.Free wifi ... Air conditioning and lift. Definitely seems more than 2 star … price very reasonable . Highly recommended for a great short stay in Central Barcelona.

L'Hotel è situato in una zona della città ben servita e dotata di tutti i mezzi pubblici (fermata del bus e della metropolitana), inoltre la spiaggia può essere raggiunta tranquillamente a piedi. Ho da ridire sulla dimensione delle camere, in quanto in 2 persone si faceva molta fatica a muoversi e a gestire i bagagli insieme a tutto il resto. Nulla da ridire sulla pulizia, in quanto le stanze venivano pulite accuratamente, ma la cosa che ha lasciato un po' perplessi è stata la mancanza della cassaforte e del mini frigo. Va bene che sia economico per la posizione in cui si trova, però almeno un mini frigorifero per metterci 2 bottiglie di acqua o altro non deve mancare assolutamente!!!

Hidden away in a side street in The Gothic area of Barcelona. My partner booked this place for my birthday, so I had no prior expectation of either the hotel or Barcelona. I was a tad apprehensive as the taxi pulled up outside, but very pleasantly surprised with the really nice interior of the hotel. Very nice reception area and fresh decor greeted us. Nicely decorated inside and we were in the second floor becoming onto an inner enclosed quadrant. Not the best of views, but we didn't come for a view from the window. The room itself was clean nice, a small double, but a massive bed. Ensuite bathroom with shower, again, nice and clean with toiletries supplied. Nice friendly staff. A little noisy at night as I think our room overlooked the staff area. Or body neighbours perhaps. But all in all, a really nice hotel close to everything. A great time to come to Barcelona. Warm sunshine in the high teens and not crowded at all. Had some great walks around the lanes and sights to be seen.

The location was excellent and I felt very safe when out for a run in the early morning. The staff were friendly and helpful. We took advantage of the hotel breakfast and it was perfectly acceptable -- nothing spectacular but no problems either. The shower in particular was a problem in that it drained poorly, was very slippery when wet (see: drained poorly), and caused a lot of flooding on the floor of the main bathroom, which increased the slippery danger. The beds were comfortable and I appreciated the staff leaving an extra pillow in the armoire if we wanted it.

The hotel is good value for money, the city center, the subway is easy to go to, all the attractions are convenient, breakfast is good, and even stayed for two days, 5 minutes away there are supermarkets and various eating shops.

我们在这里度过了愉快的时光。 我们特别感谢克里斯蒂安 ( Christian)，在我们办理入住手续时（因为他来警告我们的年长成员在他们在大厅等候时要小心扒手），并为我们的年长成员提供了一个贷款水壶。 酒店客房一流、干净、宽敞且功能强大。 我们会回来的 ！！ We had a wonderful stay in this super efficient hotel. Rooms are clean, spacious and highly functional. Very warm services ( especially thankful to Christian) to warn our elder members on pickpocket and gave a loan kettle). Highly recommended. We will be back.

Hotel is perfectly located in the city centre, near by Sagrada Familia and few minutes by foot to other Barcelona sites. Few minutes by foot to different metro stops - like (Purple line L2) Monumental, Tetuan, Sagrada Familia and (yellow line L4) Girona. You can basically go anywhere (beach, Rambla, parks, many good tapas bars). Hotel staff is really friendly and able to help. The rooms are quite small and when you come with suitcases, there is not much space left to move, but it can be handled. The beds were clean and comfy. I was not that happy with bathroom - there were black hair in the bath (we both are blonde) and the towels did not smell nice. I smelled chlorine from it. I know that the towels need to be washed with disinfection, but then it should be washed away. We had paid stay with breakfast. The breakfast staff sometimes was a bit confused, when we came for the breakfast separately, also some did not understand English very well. Because my friend has gluten free diet, there were not many things (except the fruits, ham and cheese) that she could eat. The variety of breakfast food I would suggest should be wider. Also I would be happy to have some fresh servings too (for e.g. ham and eggs, freshly made coffee - not just from the machine). Also any coffee made from the machine with milk was sweet. I love coffee with milk but without sugar and there was no opportunity to have it. Anyway, the resume is that we were happy to stay at Hotel Aranea in Barcelona and would recommend it to my friends.

The room is nice, but a bit small, the port and the steamer can be seen near the sea, the view is good ~ there will be a city tax of 1.44 euros when staying, breakfast seems to be available from 8:00 to 10:30, one person is 8.8 euros, breakfast buffet ,not bad.

I've stayed with this hotel for a number of times now, I would think about 7 times also before covid. The company I work for has also sent quite a few others to this hotel over the years. After this last visit I can say that it will probably not be the case anymore. To be honest, I felt like I was annoying the staff at the reception, it was always with a quick, condescending way that I was given answers. Like I was getting on their nerves. I paid almost 1.100 Euro to stay 1 week. In that time, the phone was broke, my door would not shut properly without slamming it, the room STANK !!! of sewage (I was told because of the pool filter or something and I was directly next to the pool basically in room 721 - the cleaning lady spoke no english so that's the info I understood), the breakfast was not to great standards; never was there bacon, the boiled eggs cold. The coffee machine broke, so the waitress was so angry that she was slamming chairs and saying angry stuff in spanish loudly about how management never takes care of the machine; she dropped all kinds of glasses and plates in the kitchen; then the cook came out and looked at me and rolled his eyes and shrugged (how do people in service actually work like this???) . It was unrelaxing and not worth the price at all. The only helpful and sincere person I met there was the girl at the reception who always asked how my day was, and also the room cleaning lady (the elder one with glasses). I was not even offered ANYTHING in response to having to sleep in a stinking room with no phone. I thought maybe someone would say to me ”sorry about all the inconvenience, have a wine on us” but not even that!! Only the next day I was asked if I wanted to move (I declined only because I was traveling to Valencia for 3 days on that day and I was told that afterwards it would be fixed so I didn't want to move if it would be fixed. But when I came back, only the phone was fixed - the smell was still there and the door I still had to slam). Also, my credit card was charged for a night on the first day of my stay, even tho my company pre-paid the whole stay in advance and it was confirmed. I had to wait several days before it was booked back to my account. At the checkout I was not asked once how my stay was. I would have otherwise told the guy there directly. But maybe he knew I would say something and chose not to ask anything. He was the most condescending of them all anyway. He never freely said Hello or Good bye. Only interested in himself. Horrible person and not sure how he can work in service! When he reads this he will know who I am, for sure. I did not have a welcoming or pleasant stay there this time and next time I and my company will choose another hotel for this or any other stays. If you feel too secure and think you have enough guests, then think again. Covid isn't gone and one day you will be surprised how quickly guests can leave and go somewhere else. One should never feel too stable bu

Generally good hostel. A bit far off if you want to walk to and from the center, but it’s easy if you take the metro. Rooms clean, bunks are cosy with a little privacy due to the half wall. Good compartments to store your luggage and stuff. Only slightly annoying thing is you have to buy a lock from the reception for 5€ if you want to keep your stuff safe. All in all, good hostel!
