Great location. Clean with great staff who assisted in local travel. Little noisy during the mornings due to the thinness of the walls. You can ride a very small elevator to your room but easy to walk up a flight. The room keys is given to reception every time you leave which was a little different from most places.
I am currently staying here at Hotel Aneto while travelling around the east coast of Spain for my summer holiday. I am a solo traveller, 25 years old.
If you are a solo traveller or perhaps a couple looking for somewhere basic to stay whilst in Barcelona then I recommend this hotel.
Location - Hotel Aneto is set within the Gothic Quarter and very close to La Rambla one of the main strips. It is, in my opinion very central to most of the places you may want to visit. I give Hotel Aneto 5 stars for location.
The Hotel - It is a basic hotel with everything you pretty much need. The reception is manned 24 hours and the staff are very helpful, kind and polite. My room was not quite ready when I arrived (i was early) but the kind man let me leave my suitcase there safely whilst i went for a wonder. At night they do lock the front door. But reception is just there so they see you and let you in, so the hotel is safe and secure. There is a lift to the second floor where the hotel rooms are. And there are stairs. The corridor for the rooms is very nicely decorated and feels contemporary despite the fact it is a budget hotel/ hostel. This is a nice touch. I cannot comment more on how clean the hotel is. Hotel Aneto do very well to keep everything clean and tidy and I really appreciate this.
Personally this does not bother me, however the corridor and the walls are quite thin so you can hear everything going on, especially is nearby rooms. You may be woken by people coming and going. This doesn't bother me much but it may for some others. I give the hotel 3 stars.
The room - I had a single room with an external private bathroom. This was perfect for me. My room has a TV, comfortable single bed, a very large wardrobe with lots of drawers and coat hangers. Very good air conditioning system with control remote. Kettle with tea, coffee etc. The hotel staff do come into the room daily to clean, make the bed and top up the drinks. The room does have everything you would need as a solo traveller and more! The only downside, which I am very sad to say knocks a mark down is that there is not safe in the room. The other tiny comment I would make is that the electric socket is in a panel along with the light switches directly above your head/pillow above the bed. Slightly awkward positioning and if you knock the plug you often switch the light on too. Can be a shock at 2am. For these reasons and the good, I give the room 3 stars.
Bathroom - the external bathroom again has everything you would need, and once again is exceptionally clean. There is a bath, sink, toilet, foot wash basin and a shower over the bath. The shower is powerful and is very good. Plenty of hot water. Again - very clean! There is a hair dryer provided as well as toiletries. I cannot fault the bathroom so must give 5 stars.
I did not select the breakfast option so cannot comment here but they do offer breakfast at the bar next door from 6am.
Overall I am giving hotel aneto 4 stars! They run a very good operation, fantastic value for money. Clean, comfortable stay.
I recommend Hotel Aneto perhaps for more the traveller types, couples and solo people. Not sure what experience a family would have but at least it would be clean and comfortable.
Stayed one night after cruise just off Las Ramblas near Placa de Catalunya. It is a hotel/hostel. Comfortable bed. Clean. Lots of hot water. Good spot right next door for breakfast from 6AM. I could not turn on the TV. Walls are pretty thin.Reasonable price.Friendly staff. Free wi-fi.
The Aneto hotel is located very close to La Rambla which makes it a perfect place to stay at while visiting Barcelona. The staff of the hotel was kind and very helpful with my special requests. The only disadvantage of this hotel is a hall which is shared by all the rooms on each floor. The noisy latecomers might wake you up at night. I also do not recommend the breakfast offered by the hotel. It is served at the bar next door. However, you cannot choose what you want to eat and the given choice is simply not worth the money. What I recommend additionally is a great local restaurant at the corner nearby called the Tosca Palau.
For what we paid I though this hotel was spot on. It is a budget hotel - similar price to a hostel but this way just 2 of us in a room. The rooms are clean and come with great air con. They include a safe too. We had a private bathroom down the corridor. (We have the key)
It is a bit noisy in the corridors but I didn't mind this too much.
The location was brilliant - minutes from La Rambla.
The place also feels very safe. A quiteish street and 24 hour reception with the door locked at night too.
If in the area again with friends I would stay here.
