“Wonderful hotel!”

We stayed at Hotel Arts 2 weeks ago. I read some opinions that we would be treated differently because we made our reservations through expedia. I found that to be completely UNTRUE!! The staff is professional, friendly, courteous. Everyone speaks multiple languages. We stayed in a club level room. The room was spacious, clean and all amenities EXCEPT an iron and ironing board. The club room has a gorgeous view, with great snacks throughout the day! I especially liked that there was always Cava available! :) The wifi in the club room is free(very expensive to get in your room). The pool is beautiful and well maintained. Casino was fun(mostly b/c I won at the slots!) To play the tables you have to be dressed as though going to the Vatican..knees and shoulders covered and jackets for the guys. There is a hospital a few doors down so occasionally you will hear a siren, but bothersome at all. The Hotel is on beautiful Port Olympic Beware of pick pockets. Stay in the light, stay away from people at night. Don't let them get close to you and you'll be ok. Overall, we felt very safe here. During the day I ran the "boardwalk" with no problems. Lots of runners/pedestrians out. The hotel is about 2.5 miles away from columbus circle and La Rambla and further to from other sites. The public trans is easy...buses mostly in the area, but cabs are readily available. We will definitely stay here again and have recommended hotel to friends!

“CAN WAIT TO GO BACK”

I was a marveleous hotel i am willing to return EXCELENT

“Great Experience.”

Beautiful hotel with exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Bathroom privacy leaves a bit to be desired (see-thru doors that don't lock) and drink prices at pool encourage sobriety. Close to marina and beaches. Restaurants, nightclubs and Casino close by. Also close to a hospital and the ambulance sirens can get a bit annoying if on the north or west sides. Need to cab or bus to shopping areas or other tourist attractions.

“Most Stylish Hotel in Barcelona”

The staff were really friendly and were impressed by the training and professional attitudes of everyone. The hotel is extremely stylish with wonderful works of art and attention to detail. Magnificent flower displays add a vibrant touch to the experience. The rooms are beautifully appointed with high quality sound systems and finishes. The bathrooms are huge and my family loved the shower. The hotel was on the hop-on- hop -off bus route which was helpful. It is close to the night clubs on the prom although not within walking distance to any shopping areas. It is a little out of the centre, yet suited our needs. I have already recommended it to many people.

“very nice - service with a smile”

very comfortable , very helpful, service great, very clean, large rooms for European hotel and spacious bathrooms. Did not enjoy the food at the "traditional" restaurants recommended by concierges , as well as the restaurants labeled "trendy". Trendy restaurants were much more flavorful (Restaurant Negro, Agua, ) but the traditional ones were more bland - Paiella without a lot of flavor. fruit at outdoor market at Las Ramblas, was delicious !

“Amazing Hotel”

Even with not too good weather during our eastern-stay at this hotel, it was just great. I have travelled a lot and lived at a lot of different hotels-but never senn a bathroom like this, also spacious rooms with B&O soundsystem/television systems!!! Although the building is ugly, it is a landmark together with the impressing fish-sculpture. Be aware-the pool is on second floor-not on the top.... Would highly recommend.

“must be one of the best in barcelona!!”

stayed at the arts hotel september 2011, we had a fantastic time , all the staff were extremley friendly and couldnt do enough for you. great location on the beach, room was spacious and very clean , lovely pool and excellent food. i would recommend this hotel. excellent,!

“"posh" pampering”

a beautiful, luxurious, centrally-located hotel...on the Sea and within a 15 minute walk of the Barri Gotica sights and the Barceloneta seafood restaurants. The only detraction was the proximity of the smoky, crowded casino which detracted from the ambiance of the exquisite property.

“Excellent Location and Hotel!”

My husband and I just returned from our honeymoon, and we reserved the Hotel Arts for the first five nights. We loved every second of our stay! It is right by the water, beautiful nightlife and delicious restaurants. Walking distance to everything!

“Excellent in every way.”

Excellent concierge services- hotel beautiful/clean/highly appointed -connecting junior suites on corner-Superb views- even lying down in bed (Saw our cruise ship enter port in the early hours). Pool area elegant and attractive-though not heated-cold even during August. Floral displays everywhere. Customer service excellent.Would definitely recommend especially pre and post cruise like we did..
