The photo are really Done by photographer and photoshopped. Hotel mixed with private apartments. Paper thin walls. Extremely small rooms. Be extra carefull when reserving - some rooms have external private bathroom, which means Down the Hall from the room. Filled with mold and rust. And the main door to the room did not close all the Way Down.
It did not fit quality and Price.
The receptionist were the only positive side to this.
This is not a recomendable place.
Location
The best you can ask. Easy access from the airport. You can take bus from the airport and stop at the last stop. From there, the place is just 10 minutes walk. It also few minutes walk from La Rambla, around 10 minutes walk to Gothic Quarter and 5 minutes walk to San Antoni. There are few metro stations as well within five minutes walking distance that you can choose.
There are few grocery shops as well within walking distance. And plenty of good restaurant and hipster cafe for you to choose.
Service
Friendly receptionist. Very quick in responding to your query. They provide breakfast but you have to go to the bakery next door for the food. Price at eur5 per person. We did not take this, hence not able to provide review.
Room
Very clean! Spacious for three people. Our room have balcony as well which give that extra touch. The room comes with kettle and also hairdryer, which some hotel which charge extra for these. The heater in the room will keep you warm during cold night. The toilet is also clean, strong shower pressure and constant hot shower. Just what you need after long day of exploring the city
Overall, value for money. Superb location, friendly service and clean room with reasonable price. The best you can ask for!
Positives: The main reason we booked this hotel is its location - a few steps out of the hotel and you're right outside Mercado de la Boqueria (the main market) on La Rambla. There is a very cheap supermarket next door on one side and a really nice bakery selling pastries the other side. The staff are friendly enough and the room was cleaned every day. Our room was small but it had a balcony and the bathroom had a nice hot, powerful shower.
Negatives: the hotel could do with a bit of TLC and is a bit tatty but that didn't bother us. The walls in our room were paper thin and we was woke up most mornings by the sound of someones shower or voices from next door so loud and clear that it sounded like someone was in our room. The beds were fairly comfortable but the 2 single beds kept drifting apart and were quite noisy. The was only 3 plug sockets in the room, one for the tele, one for the kettle and one weirdly positioned above the headboard of the bed which was not very convenient.
Overall, it suited us as it was cheap and in a great location but some of the basics let it down a little.
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.
