Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Arco Barcelona Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise Arco Barcelona Hotel's cleanliness and its convenient location, just a short walk from Plaça Espanya, providing easy access to the metro and attractions like the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc and Montjuïc hill. The rooms feature comfortable beds and amenities like a safe and fridge, with some guests noting the street noise despite being on higher floors. A welcome glass of Cava is a common perk, and the fresh and tasty breakfast, including fresh orange juice, is frequently recommended.

The staff was very friendly to me. They provided information right away. The location allows easy access to public transportation I noted. There are supermarkets and restaurants near to the hotel. The service was excellent I think. I also observed that the hotel was clean.
The rooms were small I see. The soundproof was bad I could hear clients flush toilets. There was no air-conditioning in the bathroom it was like the equator when you showered. I found no bathroom slippers.

The bedroom was super clean. It was adequate for my needs. The position is a short walk to a Placa. From there, it is easy to hop on the metro.
The initial check-in was a little slow.

Wonderful stay near Placa d'Espanya!

easy travelcomfortable bedsfriendly staffsmall room
The hotel is near the Metro L3 and several bus stations. It made travel so easy. The breakfast was nice. It included comfortable beds. The staff was friendly. They were always ready to help with directions and recommendations. The hotel looked new. It had a well-kept feel throughout.
The room i had was a little small. The sound insulation wasn't great. I could hear noise from the street. The bathroom lacked ventilation. Showering created a humid environment. There were no bathroom slippers. I did miss that convenience.
