I had an amazing stay at Aparthotel Arai in Barcelona's Gothic Quarter. The room was spacious and beautifully designed, featuring wooden floorboards and exposed brick, though I was a bit disappointed that the rooftop pool wasn't heated. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making my visit even better. Plus, the location was perfect for exploring nearby restaurants and sites, but it can be tricky for cabs at night.

Staying in the Gothic Quarter was a dream! I was close to great restaurants, shops, and sights. Just a heads up, though: the area can get a bit noisy at night. I found closing the window made a huge difference in blocking out the plaza sounds.

I had an amazing stay at Aparthotel Arai 4* Superior. The beautiful decor and spacious family room made me feel right at home, while the location in the Gothic Quarter couldn't be better for accessing all the local attractions. The rooftop pool offered stunning views, though I didn't get a chance to use it due to the heat. A minor downside was a bit of noise from the square outside at night, but it didn't ruin my experience. Overall, I'd rate this hotel highly!
