Barceló Aran Blu Hotel  

Direkte Strandlage mit Blick aufs Meer großes Zimmer großes Bad alles sehr modern

Mitarbeiter waren nicht übermäßig freundlich

Die Lage ist perfekt, das Zimmer sauber und - wenn mit Meerblick - sehr schön und das Design des Hotels durchaus ansprechend und interessant gestaltet.

Das Service ist ein Witz: Für 69 Zimmer gibt es zB 20 (!) Sonnenliegen (die sind natürlich für russische Touristen "vorreserviert"). Die Qualität des Restaurants und des Frühstücks ist irgendwo zwischen "lieblos" und "Zumutung" einzuordnen. Den Angestellten des Hotels scheint die Zufriedenheit ihrer Gäste herzlich egal. Bei einem Zimmerpreis von 150 Euro pro Nacht darf man sich glücklich schätzen, wenn man an der unbeschäftigten um Information fragen darf (!). Das ist kein Scherz und keine Übertreibung!!!

-Gute Ausgangslage zur Erkundung Roms; interessantes Design

-Auf Fragen haben die Angestellten kompetent und freundlich reagiert, jedoch hat man immer den Eindruck, dass diese insgesamt am Wohlbefinden der Gäste wenig interessiert waren. So war die Rezeptin zum Teil nicht besetzt, die Damen hielten sich im Hinterzimmer auf, mitunter bei einem Gläschen Rotwein und ließen uns warten, Informatinen zu Leistungen hat man erst auf konkrete Nachfrage erhalten, Z.B. dass man Liegen für den Strand sowie Handtücher dafür leihen kann.

Der Blick vom Zimmer und Balkon auf Strand, Hafen und Meer vom 4. Stock.

Auf keinen Fall ein Zimmer nach hinten buchen - die Aussicht ist alles andere als schön. Der Aufpreis für Meerblick lohnt sich auf alle Fälle.

Die Zimmer waren wirklich sehr schön. Die Badezimmer sehr gut. Das Frühstück war etwas besser als italienisch. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen. Wir waren mit unseren großen Kinder da. Der Strand direkt vor dem Hotel ist sher schmutzig. Der Hafen ist sehr gepflegt.

The location, close to the marina, the beach and the airport. Nice large balcony.

The rooftop terrasse restaurant was close...for reparation??? The carpet in our room was dirty, should be replace.

The location. You can't beat the views from the sun deck, and the proximity to the beach was perfect. the gym was also perfect sized for a quick trip

My room over looked rather tatty/council flats, so for the money I would have expected a better view (or a plain wall would have been better) Breakfast could be better, needs more variety, and fresh juices and coffee versus from a machine

The hotel is easy to find, is situated 2 minutes walk from the sea-front passage and boat marina with restaurants. There is a good parking for guests only. The staff is very friendly.

In winter it is cold in the bathroom and it has to be warmed up by the air from the room. There was some sand (or similar?) on the bed sheet.

Very little. It was across from the beach.

Where do I start? We selected the hotel from your website and their website. It looked very attractive. We were staying one night before flying home from the airport at Rome. It mentions that the hotel is near the airport. I called the hotel before and was assured that they were a good choice because of their location and that the taxi fare would be around 40 Euros similar to the fare from Rome to the airport. The taxi fare was 70 Euro which was fairly run up on the meter and the taxi that the hotel arranged for us to get us to the airport the next morning was another 35 Euros. We could have stayed at the airport Hilton for considerably less cost and hassle. We felt we were intentionally mislead by the hotel staff about the transportation cost to get us to the hotel on the off season. Our cabbie from Rome, who was excellent and very apologetic about the situation, warned us to say along the main street for safety. We did not feel safe in the area. The room was unbelievably small with a very stained carpet. The sliding door windows were frosted so you couldn't see out and with a first floor room we didn't feel safe leaving the door open. The Aran Blu website mentioned that all rooms had a balcony with a view - our view was of the backyards of large tenement style apartment buildings including garbage containers and laundry hanging from their balconies. All together very disappointing - definitely the low point of a three week trip and not a good feeling to end on.

The Location of the Hotel was fantastic....close to the buses and train, shopping, amazing restaurants and the view, spectacular. The continental breakfast was really great with a huge assortment of things.

The carpet could have been replaced, but the rest of the room was clean and modern. The restaurant staff were not friendly but the front reception staff were wonderful.

Nice hotel. Decor modern, good. Hotel beside beach. Staff courteous.

Nice hotel but few services available in mid-September, when we stayed there (2011). For example, no restaurant (closed) even though this is not stated on any booking form or hotel literature that we saw before booking. Also, very hard to get even a coffee in the hotel (though desk clerk offered to 'turn on the coffee machine' as a favour to us). Room rate is too high for a hotel that is operating on skeleton services (essentially 'room only'). We feel to some degree cheated as we could have stayed in another hotel with more services - at a lower rate, though not quite as conveniently located. We booked Aran Blu primarily because it is advertised as having a restaurant, and second being close to beach. This hotel - and hotels in general - need to be more up-front about what is offered and not offered. Often, by the time a guest arrives, it is too late to change to an alternative hotel.

I liked the clean and modern rooms
