This is a great small hotel located directly at the end of the Rambla close to the Columbia statue. Plenty of restaurants in the area though the one adjacent to the lobby is super convenient. Our stay was very quiet. Rooms are small but very comfortable. No complaints and would definitely recommend and stay here again if our travels bring us back to Barcelona

Great place. Room was clean. Location was very walkable to lots of things and to the subway. Didn’t have a coffee maker or kettle but when I asked for one they happily provided it with cups right away.

Our stay was hit & miss. First we contacted them way ahead of time that we would be arriving in the morning due to our international flight. They never said that would be an issue. When we arrived onsite at 7am we learned no room would be available until 3pm. This was after traveling for over 24hrs. They have lockers for your luggage but it is 2 Euros to use them. You need a Euro coin. If you reopen the locker to get anything out & relock it’s another 2 euros each time. That was ridiculous. We next found that there was only one bathroom available while we waited & it didn’t open until 8am. It’s in their attached cafe & be forewarned the men’s bathroom door there doesn’t close. My wife was treated to the view of a man urinating. As we waited for our room there were a lot of people in the same situation. Then they started doing loud construction right off the room we were all waiting in. Thankfully they finally did get us a room around 1pm. It was a really nice room with a great view & balcony on the street. The breakfast you can pay for is really good. On the negative they charge $13 euros if you want to use their provided gym. The hotel is well situated in a fantastic area but be prepared to wait for hours if for any reason you get there before 3pm & be prepared to bring plenty of $2 euro coins. I would also add the staff is really friendly & do their best to address the customer concerns.

The property did not have room available, and I understand as we were there by 8:00 am from a cruise. We asked them to hold our bags since we had an excursion. They have lockers that one had to pay to hold the bags. We wanted to weigh one of the bags, just to make sure is not overweight for travel. The hotel had a scale we needed to pay. To use the gym we needed to pay. Tv was not working we had to ask to move us to another room. Very inconvenient, we also needed a taxi to take us to the airport by 3:00am. They did call the taxi, but he arrived early and the meter was already marking 11.65 euros. Told us it was approximately 35. Euros to airport, charged us 51. Euros and the driver said they have a contract with the hotel. Very disappointed. Would like to ask for a refund if at least as we were very unhappy with the facility selected by Expedia.

Response from Hotel Arc La Rambla on 8 May 2024
Dear Edwin Adorno,Thank you very much for choosing us to your stay in Barcelona and for your freedback.We are a hotel with high occupancy and it is specified in the reservation that our check-in time is at 15:00. The extra services and external companies are paid, the lockers have a cost of 2 per day, the scale costs 1 and the outside gym 13. Regarding the TV, you informed reception, and the maintenance staff went to check your room. The previous guest had broken the TV cable, for your convenience for watching tv, we change your room. We regret your dissatisfaction about the taxi rates and regulations. It's important to note that the taxi service in Barcelona is regulated by the State, including fares, and is an external service to our hotel, we do not have any contract with the taxis. You can look up the public prices on the internet.Kind regards,Hotel Arc La Rambla

The staff is friendly and helpful. The room was small but clean. Breakfast was ok. La Rambla is I very busy and noisy street. The nightlife went on until 2am, and the traffic started around 7am. Just five hours of quiet.

Very small room, although I paid for the upgraded version with balcony and more room. The tv in the room is not even 26 inches, and the towels are a little harsh. Breakfast buffet was very good. I stayed in two separate occasions, 3 nights in April 2024 and 1 night in may 2024, and in my second stay, my room did not even have a small refrigerator despite having paid for the same type of room. The staff is professional and speak fluent English which is great.

Everything was extra including a 2 euro charge to store luggage before checking in. Smallest room we ever had anywhere. Your photo shows a king bed and our reservation indicated that as well. The room had only a double bed. When we complained their reply was that the double bed was all that would fit. We could only have a king bed in a larger room with a significant up charge. We liked the location and the complimentary water in the lobby. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable but very busy.

The Staff from the Clerical to House Keeping was absolutely remarkable. Our room was kept spotless and the clerical were quick to go beyond our expectations. What my wife and I did not like was the extreme street noise which had a very adverse effect on our attempt to get a good nights sleep.

We would definitely recommend this hotel. It was conveniently locared on the La Rambla, close to th Columbus Statue end of La Rambla. It was also within easy walking distance to the Cruise Bus Stop. The hotel was very clean, safe and comfortable. If we are back in Barcelona we would stay here again.

This hotel is at the bottom end of the Rambla, close to the port and there is a lot of construction occurring at this end. We were warned by taxi drivers and locals not to be out late or in the western direction off the Rambla, but there are no cafes or shops there. We were close to the Gothic quarter about a 15 min walk to Barcelona cathedral. Lots of eating options in the area. Our hotel room was about $200/ night and we booked it for 5 nights. European rooms are typically small. We had one suitcase rack, but the other suitcase was open on the floor. There was a credenza/desk but it would have been very helpful if it had some drawers. The closet had 4 hangers. There was a safe and a small fridge in the room which was nice and the bathroom had nice fixtures and was very clean. The breakfast for 14 euros was good value, and served anAmerican style breakfast.
