Arai was a beautiful property with lovely views. A nice surprise was the double balconies in our suite - both included a jacuzzi. The location was perfect and close to so many beautiful sites.

8/10 Very good

We stayed at Hotel Arai for 8 nights. The staff were friendly, our room was clean, and the hotel’s location in Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter was very convenient for exploring the city. On a positive note, when we identified a problem with the air conditioning, it was addressed immediately, which we appreciated. However, some aspects of our stay fell short of expectations, particularly for a hotel at this price point. Room amenities were not replenished sufficiently, and we felt breakfast should have been included given the cost of the accommodation. More concerning, we reported a low-battery warning from the smoke detector, but the issue was not addressed during our stay. This was disappointing, as it is a basic maintenance and safety concern that should have been resolved promptly. Overall, we appreciated the friendly staff, clean room, convenient location, and quick response to the air-conditioning problem. However, the inconsistent attention to room amenities and the failure to address the smoke detector warning detracted from our experience. For the price, we expected a more consistent level of service and attention to detail.

Excellent location. Walkable to tons of the places that make the Gothic quarter special. Very reasonable walk to the waterfront as well. There is a lively plaza behind the hotel with some kind of band that played most nights but they were quiet by a little after ten and besides them you really couldn’t hear much noise from outside at all as the windows and walls are very well sound proofed. The front desk staff was consistently friendly and helpful in addition to being a solid presence at the door, never unaware of any one coming in or out. The shower is wonderful. The room was cleaned well every day. Overall we were extremely happy with our choice to stay here and would highly recommended it.

The online description was completely accurate and met or exceeded my expectations. Many people have noted that the hotel is located on a busy square (well Triangle) that can be quite loud in the early morning hours, but that was not an issue for me. The location is fantastic, the room and facilities are top notch and the staff is quite helpful.
