Very good business trip

Modern and tasteful decor, in a good size room, with a lot of thought put into the little details that would make the experience that much more memorable (lighting, very comfortable mattress, safe box in the room). Good location, with easy access from the airport (bus or suburban train), in the vicinity of Miro park, and with museums within walking distance. Effective staff, fluent in English.

Perfect Spot for Vacationers in Barcelona

My guest and I stayed at Vincci Arena during our vacation in Barcelona. The hotel staff worked to accommodate us and provide us with a room that suited our needs, and were also helpful with printing out a voucher for the Barcelona Card. The location is perfect for tourists since it's about 5 minutes casual walk to the main metro lines at the Espanya station as well as the dozens of bus lines that stop along the circle. It's 4 blocks away from the first stop from and the last stop to the airport on the Aerobus, so for 5.30 EUR per person for a 15 minute express trip, it works out really well. It's also 5 minutes away from the main mall in Espanya, so there's always somewhere to go if you have a craving for ice cream, sandwiches, or shopping. It was so convenient heading out for sightseeing during the day at places like Sagrada Familia, Las Ramblas, and the Olympic Park, and then stopping back for a break or nap at the hotel before heading out again. The location is also far enough from the busy activity of the main Espanya area to provide a quiet neighborhood and setting to relax and sleep in. One thing that the hotel could improve on would be to provide ice machines in the hallways since they only have mini-bars in the rooms that are designed to only keep the drinks provided by the hotel cool. The hallways are also quite warm due to the special lighting that they have; if they switched to cooler LED lighting, I'm sure they will resolve this minor inconvenience and perhaps save electricity usage in the process. However, their air conditioning was very good, and my guest and I were kept sufficiently cool as needed, so this was not an issue inside the room. Overall, I had a great experience staying at Vincci Arena, and I would definitely recommend this hotel for any tourists or business travelers looking for a convenient location that is comfortable and well situated.

Get a Barcelona Card if you are planning to travel around a lot by local transportation. It's a great investment and extremely convenient, especially if you travel to multiple locations per day. It works on both the metro lines and local bus lines, so it's essentially an unlimited pass to the city for the number of days that you purchase. Cards are activated on the first day of usage and not the date that they are listed with when you purchase them through Orbitz, so you can stack cards one after the other to cover trips longer than 5 days. Do be careful to keep the card undamaged and dry, as we did encounter issues if the card becomes moist while being carried in the pocket or if the magnetic strip is bent or damaged. Remember to tear out and bring the coupons from the Barcelona Card book that you receive when you redeem your voucher for the card - while the card gives discounts for shopping and restaurants, some places require the coupons in order to receive the discount.

The HUB of BARCELONA!

My fiance and I luved the closeness of the hotel to everything. You can navigate everywhere from down the street! It was awesome! The staff could have been a bit more friendly, but were knowledgeable to every question we asked.

Great value (price-location-quality)

We spent the weekend here before boarding a cruise. It was within walking distance (30 min) from the main sites and within 5 minutes of very safe metros that take you everywhere quickly, safely and in air conditioning. The room was really nice and clean and the staff was pleasant. Decent restos (small ones were around) were within a 15 minute walk, but very safe at night. Would recommend and stay there again.

Interesting location

In Barcelona for two days location of hotel is on the edge of all thing we wanted to see, BUT is located by 2 metro stations, which made it easy to get around. Hotel is in a very "working" class area ,but did not have any problems. Room was fine and clean,bathtub was hard to get in and out of.
