The location is convenient to Las Ramblas and within walking distance to many of the sightseeing attractions such as Gaudi’s Casa Batllo, Gaudi’s Museum next to the old Cathedral, La Pedrera and the Medieval Roman section.

I highly recommend the obvious. .Basilica of the Sagrada Familia, Casa Batllo (very cool!)

The bar on premises is closed on Sunday's and Monday's which is a bit of a bummer

Travelers tip 2: when planning your activities in Barcelona, keep in mind that many places are closed on Sunday.

The elevators, halls and rooms feel closed.

We had the drapes closed for privacy most of the time so the room had a cave-like feel to it.

but be aware that the restaurant is closed on Sunday and Monday.

The area is then closed for an hour, allowing the staff to remove breakfast and ready the area for the rest of the day.

We had the "city suite," and it was huge when the sofa bed was closed.

We didn't make use of the downstairs area as it was closed during our stay -

At 11:30, breakfast closed and an extensive choice of snacks, salad, soup, and drinks were available - all at no extra cost.

but once the doors to the balconies were closed, you could not hear a thing.

Because it was a holiday, many sites and restaurants were closed.

The kids did not like the fact that the sliding door separating the bathroom and bedroom did not close fully due to the design of the hanging rail around the wall which meant the door had no lock and a very small gap was left when closed.

however our adapter kept falling out when we closed the safe door.

Unfortunately, the restaurant next door was closed 2 of the 3 nights I was there and  I did not have a reservation for the first night.

Unfortunately the restaurant was closed while we were there,

The bedroom was dead quiet and so dark that it became too easy to sleep too long.

A bit concerned because the photos showed what appeared to be a dark (red walls) & smallish room.

I would recommend an upper floor as the 1st floor is a bit dark (and I was on the 'city view' side) and noisy if you have your windows open.

Everything was dark red and black not very inviting in my own personal view.

The only thing to note about the room is that it’s a bit dark and faces the street.

If I had one nit-pick it's that the room was rather dark, and there was an area of the room that wasn't lit at all.

My husband was able to sit up and watch tv while I went off to sleep in a dark room.

but to get to hotel you had to walk about 3 blocks  down a very dark narrow street/alley.

You can make the room as bright or dark as you want with the roll down blinds.

Perhaps the most important is that there is no clock that can be read in the dark so it is impossible to know the time with the shades drawn unless you turn on your cell phone.

but very dark due to red and black decor and lack of enough natural light.

Lighting could have been better as the bedroom was a little dark.

Rooms in the A part comprise 2 parts: a bedroom with bath facing the vertical gardens (very quiet,but a bit on the dark side) and across the floor a small living area with a hammock (this side faces a small road well frequented also in the night).

At first the bedroom feels a bit dark as there are no windows,

although this view and red colour of bedroom make this place rather dark.

The main reason I could not give it 5 stars was because the room was so dark with harsh lighting and it got very little natural daylight which kind of spoilt the experience.

First of all the staff are super friendly and welcoming and the hotel is super calm and quiet.

Casa Happy Camper- the staff is extremely friendly and they go out of their way to help.

Friendly attentive staff who speak English well.

It was also perfectly located for us in the Exiemple area of town, a pleasant and safe area close to some fabulous shops and Gaudi's Casa Batllo house and other architectural attractions.

Recommended places to visit are Parc Guell (monument park and Gaudi's house), Casa Batllo, Montjuic and the cable car, Casa Musica, the Palau Nacional and Font Magica, a boat trip around the harbour and. .

Excellent location nearby Urgell metro station and "AeroBus" bus stop, within walking distance (2 km) of tourist attractions like Font Magica de Montjuïc, La Rambla and Gaudi's Casa Batllo. The breakfast is a bit expensive compared to the breakfast options in the local pubs and pastry shops,

Spot on location, in walking distance of most things including La Rambla, Barri Gothic, Casa Batllo, the list goes on!

Could also walk to some of Gaudi’s works, like Casa Batllo and La Pedrera.

The room was generally dark even the corridor despite having on all the lights On room.

But then you go to use the bathroom and toilet - it's very dark and suddenly the funky lighting doesn't work in your favour.

and the light of room was so dark and opened window was so narrow.

The hotel theme is modern, albeit a bit dark in places.

but light still comes through and around these so if (like me) you like a completely dark room you will notice this.

buttons, hot/warm lighting, and combinations (if you arrive tired and it’s too frustrating, remove the key card and it goes dark).

but lighting made the halls and room quite dark.

Decor was dark and corridors were unsettling as they are so dark.

Interior deco is a little dark, like a night club.

although I did find the lighting a little dark in the room.

My only complaints are the shower has a small glass partition that gets water all over the floor and the room can be a bit dark.

We booked a standard double room and it was a bit dark as the hotel is a high-rise building and there is not much natural light

The only let down was how dark the rooms were and sometimes the room smelt unpleasant.

Decor is minimalist and contemporary in neutral, dark colors.

We stayed here for 2 nights and staff were very accommodating at all times and very friendly.

We had good time, the staff was friendly and very informative and  ready to help with any request.

Staff was friendly throughout and the check in process was smooth and efficient.

The staff were really helpful and friendly.

A special thank you to Federico and Alessio at the desk who were exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Clean rooms, great staff - very helpful and friendly.

The hotel staff were really friendly and helpful, we would highly recommend staying here.

Reception staff were very friendly, greeting us when we went in and out of the hotel and were so helpful with directions and recommendations.

Pros 
* wonderful staff - friendly and helpful 
* great location - close to tourist areas (Las Ramblas, El Raval, Gothic Quarter),

The reception was manned 24 hours by friendly staff, which as a female traveller in a late night city made me feel safe.

rooms were very clean and staff were very friendly, Frederic at the reception was super nice and helped us with getting to know the city and its attractions.

I personally tried temporarily closing the window tightly, and I felt a significant reduction in the noise.

The sound insulation of the windows facing to the street was not good enough.

However, the front desk assigned me a room with an internal window.

Thankfully you can close the blinds on the window (if you find the

The blind in our room broke and we didn't have time to tell them in the morning, when we came back in the evening,  it was fixed.

The curtains also do not close all the way so sleeping in is difficult with the light.

but opening the window during winter was effective enough unless there are noise in the public on New Year’s Eve.

Heavy traffic makes the room a bit noisy with thin windows.

The door in the balcony did not seal well and street noise was quite loud at times.

but it had a pane of glass that extended across about 1/3 of the tub length.)

but has powered blinds that can be closed with the touch of a button.

The only thing to complain about is that you can not turn off the lights themselves in the window which are switched on and off automatically.

(-) 
- a bit niosy due to thin walls (door slamming from the neighbor rooms)
- limited view due to the post modern painted windows (schalosia style)

Your privacy is furthermore respected and noise from the streets is filtered by soundproof windows.

but bathroom should have had a shower curtain as water leaks to floor.

button near the sink that will close the blinds but there is no signage telling you and its in an odd spot.

The very cool miniblinds in the windows don't work--permanently.

Only things that would make this hotel the best would be to put blinds or a curtain on the shower glass wall, as in the bedroom you can see straight into the shower, as there is no privacy which wasn’t the best.

Also noted in other reviews, it was a bit irritating not being able to amend the blinds between the window panes.

We were able to visit Barcelonetta Beach, Sagrada Familia, Casa Batllo, Casa Pedrera and Mercat de la Boqueria all by foot and didn't need to use any public transport.

The room was kept clean and all hotel staff were friendly.

Staff at hotel very friendly and offered assistance and recommendations for shopping and restaurants.

the breakfast is plentiful and a lot of variety: do NOT eat/drink on La Rambla centre pavement, 6€ for coffee BUT inside restaurants 2€ , this is because they pay a premium to use the centre pavement and pass on cost to tourists; The staff at Hotel Arc are very helpful & friendly, especially Edvin & Leonardo who both went above & beyond in assisting us, we are very grateful; The Barceloneta Beach is 10 min walk to right of hotel, just across from Christopher Columbus statue.

Staff at front desk were always very helpful and friendly.

The receptionists were incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived.

Staff at reception were friendly and helpful.

The hotel is clean, staff are friendly and the location is fantastic.

Though our room was tiny and not really conducive to doing anything

Some of the rooms are on the small side, some have a wall instead of a view,

The room was very small and noisy at night which made it hard to sleep.

Our room had one tiny window so would get very stuff and was of course always dark.

Our room was TINY with a tiny view of a wall.

Our room was on the 4th floor, small room

We stayed here at Easter for 4 nights and found that the room was very small.

The other was because I was given a smoking room and I am allergic to smoke.

She just shrugged us off and said they all knew each other and then said she will go back out and be with her ‘friends’ to really demonstrate her lack of care and actually went out to smoke another cigarette with this creep.

(Drain was smelly, blocked and shower not working).

My bottle of perfume was broken during room/ bathroom cleaning.

Arrived at the hotel late with 6 friends check in was fine arrived to our Room on the 4 th floor opened the door and there was a horrible sewage smell went straight back to reception to inform them they said they would send someone to inspect it in the morning once inspected they said there wasn’t a problem

You can hear more when they drain the sewers in the next room or higher.

Old and musty and god knows how long since they had been cleaned.

Rooms were nice and needed so touch ups like paint and mold between the shower tiles

There is absolutely no view except old buildings falling apart, there is a street right under your terrace where men gather during the night, smoke, have some kind of parties and keep you awake all night long!

The only down irritation was that the bathroom extractor fan seem to smell of tobacco smoke, i can only assume that someone was smoking in one of the other rooms and it was passing through the air ducts and out of the extractor fan.

La Rambla is loud, smelly, and dangerous at night.

Only had a shower in it and had to be extremely care not to touch the crossbar where the facets were because it was so hot you could get burned.

There are some weird smells here and there

There was a nasty smell in our room, in the corridors and sometimes in reception (an eggy drain type smell).

but don’t expect tea making facilities and there was an unpleasant smell in the corridors!

It is easier to get in to the beautiful and highly original Casa Batllo, a short way down the road from La Pedrera.

Staff were very friendly and helpful and hotel was always kept clean and tidy.

We enjoyed a few drinks on the terrace each night - the bar staff were all very friendly.

We had amazing time at the hotel excellent stuff super friendly.

Reception are super helpful and friendly.

I just stayed one night at B hotel, I have to say the staff was very friendly, they allowed us early check in, and had a good attitude in general.

Marianne at the front desk was very friendly and sweet, she helped me with several things.

Friendly staff , decent modern room which was quiet spacious and the roof top recreation area was good
Overall was pleasantly surprised was possibly the best 3 star ranked hotel i have stayed anywhere

Hotel is very nice, breakfast is wonderful staff very friendly.

The staff were friendly and helpful and the room was clean and quiet.

The staff were friendly and helpful, and we loved the room and amenities available, specifically the pool and rooftop bar!

if you like walking to places this one makes it suitable as well, let you be spoiled by the views on the deck and the great and friendly staff.

The receptionist of Philippine is very friendly and professional.

Staff were really friendly and super helpful - surprised my son with a cake and bubbles on his birthday which was a lovely touch!

The staff is friendly and helpful and the breakfast buffet is excellent.

the location is exactly where i like to stay
the roof top piscine is a must in the city
nice vibes  and the stuff is always very friendly and ready to answer any question you have

The staff is very friendly and the rooms are very clean and silent.

The only downside is that it’s on a very busy road so quite noisy at night time.

Our room was on the 7th floor and overlooked the roundabout, which was quite noisy

The location is noisy, traffic and dustman in the early hours.

but the surrounds aren't, so the noise still comes in.

As it turned out, this worked to our advantage because the garden view room was extremely quiet at night whereas the city view room would likely have been somewhat noisy.

Only downside - no English speaking tv channels and i do like to have some for background noise.

Busy area - light sleepers may need earplugs to block out the early morning street cleaning noise -

On the street side of the hotel, there can be some noise from traffic, while the back side is very quiet.

A lot of road works going on all over Barcelona when we travelled and although we where on the 6th floor it was very noisy from 7.30 am to 7.30 pm even on the Sunday so sleep was poor

No bar or hall area, a bit noisy for rooms above the street.

One minor problem is that when metro passes through, you can feel the vibration

Traffic noise isn’t as bad as people make out.

but the second room, though on the 6th floor, was just as noisy.

If you want a quiet room, choose one that does not look out over the Gran Via.

The only let down was the noise from outside - I get the location

Sometimes we could hear the noise of the underground passing under the hotel.

There is a LOT of noise from the metro and the road, as well as from the hall and elevator.

The only down side was my room was near the road so I could hear the traffic at night,

Our room was OK, the safe was shocking a hole in the wall and advice on leaving valuables in reception is not what you want to hear the moment you arrive, and the curtain across a rail as a make shift wardrobe needs to be improved.

but modern, with a few weird quirks to figure out for lights and shower (the shower is transparent but there is switch by the sink to close the blinds and maintain your dignity)!

The room was great and it didn't take too long to figure out the remote lights and blinds.

but either at the bed or at then entrance to the room and to close the blinds between the batch and living are you need to find buttons above the sink
BREAKFAST - good selection of fruits, cereals, breads, pastries and a few hot items.

but cosy with a HUGE comfy bed - the bathroom did have a window with a blind that we couldn't figure out but it faced out to the side of the room so wasnt a big deal.

We eventually figured out that the controls to shut the blinds for it are by the bathroom mirror.

No matter what country you are in, you are generally able to work out how to operate light switches, faucets, blinds, etc.

but due to the street right in front it is a bit noisy even with closed windows.

There was a venetian blind in the window, But how to close it?
