Arc la Rambla - Барселона

The room is small and a bit dirty. Staff is not helpful and the hotel lacks basic things such as tooth brush, dinning fork and even getting a blancket for keeping warm at night is difficult. The only good thing about the hotel is its location. In short, not up to the standard of a hotel.

Everything with our stay was absolutley wonderful except the hotel was still on "winter room temperature control" meaning we could not control individual room temps unless we opened windows which then allowed some noise and unpleasant smells to enter. Desk clerks were very pleasant and extremely helpful. Hotel was perfectly located for our stay and […] touring. Will return in the future. Читати далі

The hotel is located on the Ramblas and there´s a subway station really close; but the beds are terrible, the shower too, no comfort at all;

This hotel location is perfect. Right in the heart of the action, can walk to many places you want to see. The hotel was clean, the walls to one side of our room was paper thin and we had giggling girls next door so little hard to sleep until they calmed down, beds were OK, the room was not fancy but met our needs because we were not in the rooms that […] much. We stayed 3 nights before we boarded a cruise and at night we walked around and didn't have to get far from hotel to do and see things. felt safe coming in after dark. We didn't eat the breakfast, didn't seem like there was a lot of choice for the money but we didn't really find anything else we wanted to eat so just waited until later in the morning to eat. If you are from US it is just different kind of food. Again it is a great place to stay due to its location. Читати далі

The Hotel is on La Rambla, a short walk from the Metro stop Dressanes and only minutes from the marina. The hotel rooms are small and very simply furnished. It is clean. They do use very strong smelling cleaning / air freshener. There were fresh towels and clean bed linnen. They supply schampoo and soap and clean the room every day. The bathroom did […] not have any space to put your toiletries. We found the area (and the clientel attracted to the erotic peep show next door) got a bit noisy at night. In hindsight we would have prefered to stay in other parts of town. As long as you're near a Metro or bus stop it is quick and easy to get anywhere in Barcelona. There was an additional charge for breakfast but we found cheaper options conveniently located around town. If you are travelling with a tight budget in mind and want to be loacated right on the La Rambla, this could be an ideal hotel for you. Читати далі

Hotel is right on La Ramblas and is provides easy access to the cruise ship docks and to the hop on - hop off buses. It is a little pricey for the quality on weekends and during special events due to its location, but all in all it is very conveniently located and allows one to experience the La Ramblas venue just by walking.

This was our first time to Barcelona and the hotel was great, it was close to the marina and to the underground station. Room was a bit small, with the bathroom quite big. As we were there only 4 days it was sufficient. Friends of ours also stayed there on the otherside of the hotel, they could hear a lot of noise at night time due to the bar/nightclub […] next door. Overall hotel was clean, receptionists were very helpful and could understand and speak English which helped up a lot, free wifi, would stay again if only a few days. Читати далі

The rooms were a bit austere, but the warmth and friendliness of the staff more than compensated. They helped us with a major problem. Location is very central. All in all, good value for the money. We enjoyed the sun roof.

Fourth or fifth time we have stayed here. This time we were upgraded without addditional cost to a superior room with balcony. Staff very helpful and all speak good English. Excellent location on the Ramblas, and very handy for exploring the Gothic Quarter. Will stay there again next time we visit Barcelona, Rooms very reasonably priced.

Our hotel room had a view of a drain pipe and was very dark. The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly but the room was a let down

location at the end of Las Ramblas is amazing walking distance to the waterfront and surrounding areas. Hotel is clean, modern and well kept. The rooms were simple but efficient, although the bed was very hard and uncomfortable for both my husband and i who aren't very picky sleepers to begin with. would recommend this hotel for location and conven […] ience Читати далі

Stayed there twice on this trip for a total of 4 nights. The first 3 nights we were in a room with a heater that did not function very well and the room was cold most of the time for 3 days. Also one of the two twin beds was really hard and had loose springs that stuck in your back so had to sleep on the sofa. The second stay was for 1 night and there […] was no way to control heat in the room as the thermostat did not work so again the room was cold all night. The location is great as it is right on Las Ramblas and it is easy to get to most of the Barcelona tourist attractions from the hotel. The Tapas restaurant accessible from the hotel lobby will not accept credit cards for charges less than 20 Euros so we only patronized it on two occasions - once for a beer and once to eat breakfast which was over $25 and not very good - bacon was very stringy and eggs tasted funny - possibly cooked in old oil. Would not eat at this restaurant again as Burger King is right across the street, McDonalds is about two block up Las Ramblas, and there are plenty of other restaurants on Las Ramblas with decent food.

Exelent location and professional service.

We stayed five nights over New Year. Hotel location is superb for transport links and proximity to the many tourist highlights of the city, being right on La Rambla. Rooms are rather basic, with limited storage, dim lighting, no mirror in bedroom (only in bathroom), marble tiled floor with no rugs, so cold and not very inviting in mid-winter. Front […] facing rooms, overlooking La Rambla are noisy until late into the night (3am+) and after the revellets have dispersed, the street cleaners get going! Breakfast is buffet style with choice of cereals, tnned fruit, breads, croissants, cold meat and cheese. There is also sausage and undercooked bacon in a hot cupboard. Coffee and tea are self service and unlimited. The charge during our stay was €10 per person daily unless you stayed for more than 2 days, then it was reduced to €8.50 daily. Staff were friendly and spoke good English. We've stayed in far better hotels for much less and at peak times. Читати далі

I guess I thought 3 stars would provide a much better facility than what it actually was. This hotel was so bare bones...not worth it for the money charged. The rooms were not sound proof to the outside street noisy at all. You could hear in clear detail conversations happening on the street several floors below. Made it difficult to sleep with loud […] partying going on in the streets. A bit of positive feedback, the room was clean and located it a good central location. Читати далі

only downside was that the bed had an extremely hard mattress. reception staff were great and it was good value for money

We enjoyed our stay very much...the room was clean and quiet and the location was perfect.

Loved this hotel. Booked at last minute due to flight changes. Relied on hotel.com reviews. Great location,great staff. Room was very nice. Not very big, but none are in Europe. Front desk gal even borrowed me 4 euro for my bus pass! Awesome.

We walked easily to cruise bus at Colombus Monument..Good location for all Al Rambls Street has to offer. Room was small but bathroom large and excellent. Close to Metro stations and tour buses. Overall, we'd stay there again. Breakfasts were good.

I will repeat this Hotel in my next visit to Barcelona.

This hotel has it all except the worst beds that we have ever slept in. I woke up in the middle of the night and one side of my body was completely numb. The springs from the mattress (no box spring) we pushing into your body.

This hotel is way over priced. It was clean & close to the action on Las Ramblas. however for the US Traveler, it was equal to a Motel 6, or Red Roof Inn. The bed was extremly hard, the air conditioning did not work ( nor would they fix it, stating that it was the same throughout the hotel ). The only thing good about it was that it was clean & close […] to the action. I would fin another location, there are plenty close by in their price range. Читати далі

Great location in the heart of Las Ramblas. Steps away from everything. Hotel is great and the staff is very accommodating. There is a bar/cafe on the ground floor which is nice and relatively inexpensive. The only thing I didn't like about this hotel, is that the shower is only encased by a small glass barrier. The floors get sopping wet after you […] take a shower. Other then that, I would recommend this to anyone and would book here again. Читати далі

Third time we have stayed there for a one or two night stay. Perfectly adequate for our needs. Staff friendly, location superb for Ramblas and Gothic Quarter

This hotel is right on the very happenin' La Rambla and just minutes from Placa Reial, one of the best squares in Barcelona, and near a fantastic market. The hotel is nice, clean and very basic (e.g., there are no bellman, so we had to store our bags in lockers -- 2 Euros -- until our room was ready), but the price was way below other hotels with less […] desirable locations. It is a major step up from a hostel and a perfect combination of convenience, location and economy. P.S. We LOVED Barcelona. Читати далі

First time in Barcelona, so central location was a must. Arc La Rambla was in a good location, & taking a room with a balcony was well worth the extra cost. This was a no frills hotel, however offered good value and the hotel staff were friendly. Overall we were very pleased with our choice, no problems, no issues, just a great time.

This was an absolute breath of fresh air! I was a little bit nervous since I did not know what to expect, but was 100% pleasantly surprised. It's a basic hotel, but in the best best best location!!! You don't need to take a taxi or even the metro anywhere. You can get to all locations from this hotel by walking. LOVED IT!!!!! Front desk clerk was the […] sweetest woman. You get free internet. The rooms are clean and basic but that is all you need in Barcelona. I have never been more surprised. I enjoyed this hotel very much. The price is reasonable compared to everywhere else. I would stay here again and again. Читати далі

The price was decent, I guess. It's a 3 star hotel but you're paying for location...the long fun street of la rambla. Wasn't able to check in earlier than 2pm but it's ok because they have large lockers for cheap. The staff is very friendly and provide free water bottles at the front. They have free wi-fi and a breakfast buffet for a very decent price. The […] room was ok. We got the basic room. The shower is tiny but that's fine for me just as long as it was clean and it was. The only problem was that our window opened to a laundry room. We didn't stay in the hotel long, just to sleep. I enjoyed this place because of the informative staff, the cleanliness and definitely the LOCATION. Very content and would recommend to others. Читати далі

Located perfectly close to La Rambla, metro and busses. Rooms where quiet although when you walk out of the hotel, you are in the middle of the activities in La Rambla. The room was clean with all the necessary facilities for a comfortable short stay.

Although located on the busy "La Rambla" street in the center of the city we had a very sound comfortable night and our sleep was never interrupted with any street noise. The secret is to ask for a room at the back of the hotel. We also greatly enjoyed the outdoor patios located on each floor of the hotel. There were plenty of umbrellas, lounge chairs […] and a convenient shower outdoors for use after sunbathing. This great location was close to all shops and restaurants that were very affordable. On our first stay in Barcelona we chose a hotel near the bay "Barceloneta" and all shops and restaurants were very over priced. Too expensive to enjoy. Читати далі

Great location. Walking distance to everything downtown. Felt like a secure area day and night. But.... No room services. More like one star hotel. Did not make bed in the morning. Noisy, if you have a room in the front. Ask for one in the back with no view. Shutters not large enough to keep daylight out at night. Still OK for the price and for very […] short duration. Will go somewhere else next time. Читати далі

The location of the hotel was fantastic - right on the Ramblas! The room itself was clean, but very very basic. The best thing in the room was the air conditioning. Fairly good customer service at the hotel.

Location is very good, however staying in Ramblas itself is highly over rated. The price is too high for the hotel confort and overall quality. The room didn't look like the ones in the pictures and it didn't even have the wood floor in the specifications. Instead, it had ceramic in a poor condition. In addition, the street is very noisy even though […] we stayed in a back room. We were in two rooms, and the other one looked more like the pictures, but not all rooms are the same even for the same price. After a couple of days we moved to another hotel a couple of blocks away from the Ramblas for the same price, but the hotel confort was highly increased. Читати далі

Nice hotel however the standard rooms are extremely basic in our case the first room they gave us only had one plug socket that the tv was plugged into. I complained and was told I could pay to upgrade and there was a convenient sign to list the upgrade charges next to the reception, which tells me that this is a regular occurrence. The room we did […] get in the end was brilliant, with lovely views of the main street and the receptionist were quite helpful Читати далі

this hotel is located in the middle of the main street life of barcelona along la rambla. it was a nice change to some other locations we had been to which were located just outside of the main city's active areas. there is not much of a noise issue at night, but the activity does go on until the later hours. we had a balcony overlooking the street. […] the metro and bus stops are right there and the barri gotic area is very close and this was a highlight for us during out stay. the cheaper places to eat are also located close by so you do not have to spend all of your time on la rambla. about a 10 minute walk down to the port area. all in all, this hotel is located in good centralized place for a tourist. the room was not bad and for us it was worth the price for a few nights. it is not a 5 star type of a place if that is what you are exepcting. but it does serve the purpose.

A great place to stay to visit Barcelona. Very close to metro station. Walking distance to Plaza Catalunya, Picasso museum, cathedral. Great food in the neighborhood. Not luxurious but clean and comfortable. Great staff at front desk. Highly recommended.

Great for its price and location! We stayed 3 days and were very pleased!

Having read mixed reviews decided to "take a chance". Found the Hotel to be ideally situated, with excellent access to all transport and places of interest. The area is typical of a tourist hub in any big city. Two females travelling together and felt quite safe, no one hassled us, unobtrusive police presence the streets on weekends. Street noise - […] to be expected but double glazing cuts levels and did not worry us. Читати далі

The Arc La Rambla was even better than their website showed. I am mostly disappointed with hotels that I have booked over the internet -- they usually don't live-up to their photos and descriptions. The Arc la Rambla was a pleasant exception. The staff, location, cleanliness, and price where all well worth it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Employed are very friendly and helpfull, y realy like my time in this place, right into the ramblas, the interior room was very good. and no noise. Free WIFI, perfect place if you want to use cruise line, just walking to Monumento Colon and take the Port Bus for 2 EUROS or take the taxi for 16 EUROS,i take the port bus and they drop me right in the […] line of entrances (Carnival Ship) Читати далі

The hotel staff were very helpful and made a restaurant and trip bookings for us. The location is also excellent situated right at the top of the Ramblas in close proximity of the harbour and the Columbus column. The rooms are basic but clean. If you are a light sleeper request a room at the back of the hotel as the walls are very thin! Overall a good […] hotel in a brilliant location. Читати далі
