May/2009 Someone from Buffalo, NY thinks:

• Location: 10 Sagrada Familia is about 5-6 blocks away! Its an easy 3 minute walk. And also very close to a few of the Metro stops, not to mention the area all around it is filled with charming little cafes and restaurants and bars. Love the atmosphere of the community.
• Common facilities and services: 10
• Staff: 10 The room service was exquisite. And the front desk people were nothing but EXTRAordinarily helpful and kind and pleasant.
• Quietness: 10
• Room: 10 Great size for the price we paid. The window looked into the middle of the buidling so we only saw wall, no view of the surrounding area, but that was totally fine and almost preferred so that we didnt get the noise form the streets all night. Beautiful decor and setup, and very comfortable. The Air conditioning wasnt working for us at the time we visited (in may) but it may have been off season for it to be functioning already. Either way, the room was gorgeous.
• Value for money: 10 I am coming back to Aranea the next time I'm in Barcelona! And probably every time after that. I would not want to stay anywhere else, for the price we paid, plus it was a fantastic stay.
