This place was so nice, clean, comfortable and the whole family (who own the hotel) could not be anymore helpful. What I particularly loved was the ultra crisp, white bed linen, with equally white bed throws. It looked amazingly clean and bright, a refreshing change from the Barcelona hotels. The beds were extremely comfortable too. We didn't eat here so cannot comment on the food. The town of Arenys de Mar is just under an hour by train from Barcelona Saints, the hotel is a five minute walk from the station, the main shopping area and the harbour. We chose to stay here because of the excellent reviews I found, after failing to find an option in Calde d'Estrac for the night. It turned out so well for us. We visited the Palau Foundation (art gallery) the following day. The short train journey was more than worthwhile. I would even stay in this hotel when visiting Barcelona due to the standards and ease of commute. Well done and thank you to Matthias and family.
