The breakfast offered a good variety and was quite enjoyable, but the dining options in-house could use some improvement as the menu lacked diversity. I had better luck finding amazing local restaurants just a short walk away.

Facilities

Facilities like housekeeping and the bar were satisfactory, but room service could improve with a broader menu and 24-hour availability. The amenities were decent, with basic comforts, but I missed having a tea kettle in the room.

I had a pleasant stay at Pestana Arena Barcelona. The hotel boasts a fantastic location, being close to Plaza España and several metro stations, which made getting around the city a breeze. The highlight of my breakfast was the wide variety, especially the fresh fruits and pastries.

My stay at Pestana Arena Barcelona was a mix of positives and negatives. The hotel had a modern look and my room was clean and spacious, which made for a comfortable experience. However, the air conditioning was quite noisy and disrupted my sleep on a few occasions. Although the breakfast had its moments, the restocking was lacking after 9 AM, and the location wasn't the most convenient for getting around Barcelona.

I had a pleasant stay at Pestana Arena Barcelona, thanks to its excellent location near Plaza Espanya and efficient check-in process. The staff were friendly and helpful, creating a warm atmosphere. However, the air conditioning was a bit of an issue, and the lack of room service was disappointing. Overall, it was a comfortable experience, but some improvements could elevate it further. 😊

The location is perfect, only a short walk from two metro lines, making it easy to explore the city. It's also close to restaurants and bars, which is a significant plus for dining options.

Dining

The breakfast was enjoyable but could have offered a wider variety, especially considering the scale of the hotel. The food options in the restaurant were decent but didn't quite meet my expectations for a four-star hotel.

Facilities

6.0

Facilities were adequate, with good housekeeping and a nice gym. However, the absence of 24-hour room service was a letdown. The jacuzzi was more of an outdoor bath than a hot tub, which was disappointing too.
