I was less taken by this hotel than previous reviewers; but it was a slow night, and so maybe atypical (so I'll go with a 4 rating instead of the 3 I felt at the time). True, the location on the main square of this attractive town is ideal, the room and public spaces were lovely, the view of the mountains outstanding, and there was free parking out front. But once the (otherwise friendly) manager left at 8:00 pm, I had the place essentially to myself - I didn't see any other guests that night - until letting myself out the next morning. I also missed having a telephone in the room to call home with, and the wi-fi worked only in the downstairs lobby. (But if solitude's your thing....)

Having read all the reviews we were not disappointed. We had to phone the number on the door to gain access but the wait was a short one.
We can really add nothing more except that on a cold April day (2degC) the heating was very welcome.
Can recommend.

We arrived in Ainsa having driven over the Pyrennees at around 7pm and after having navigated to the parking lot, arrived at the hotel to find the door locked. We rang the mobile number and were greeted with the most friendly welcome, our hostess arrived within a few minutes and showed us around the hotel which very soon felt like home.

There are only a handful of rooms but they really good sized and comfortable. The location is right on the main square. There is a small self-service bar and kitchen and we bought a bottle of wine for our pre-dinner drinks. We were given recommendations for dinner, which was in a local 'cavern -style' restaurant, and then were able to stroll around the old town before retiring.

Breakfast the next morning is taken in the downstairs cavern and is very fresh and local. we were given a parting gift of local delicacies as we left unfortunately too early for our onward journey. This was a very welcoming and relaxing first night in Spain. Highly recommended.

We had stayed before in the Siete Reys hotel in Ainsa, and they were full this time, so we tried the Arcos, which is next door to it. We had liked the Siete Reys and we liked the Arcos - they are actually very similar hotels.

Arcos is done up to a high standard in a old period house. We had a lovely room on the first floor, overlooking the square - the square is very quiet, as no cars are allowed. As with other hotels in the area, you park in the main town car park, and walk to the hotel. It is a few hundred meters, and they do allow you to drop off luggage at the door if you want.

The room was modern, well decorated, and had a modern bathroom. Downstairs is a small sitting room with a serve yourself coffee machine. Breakfast is in the cellars, and was of good quaility.

There is no hotel restaurant, but a very good selection of restaurants is available right outside the front door.

If you have never stayed here, Ainsa is a lovely medieval town, nd we stay here en-route between Spain and the UK

Stayed here one night during the TransPyr mountain bike race from Roses to San Sebastián. First off, the race finished directly in front of the hotel, which was fantastic! I was concerned about the two-star rating (in general, I try to stay at four or five star properties) but was unbelievably happy with every aspect of Los Arcos. From the quality of the linens to the views from the room. It was wonderful to sleep here. Breakfast was excellent too! If you find yourself in Ainsa, stay here.

perfect setting with a small balcony opening to the square. The room was spacious, sensitively decorated with a fabulous Gaudi type tiled bathroom with spa bath. Friendly accommodating staff. Ainsa a wonderful town and the square full of cafes and restaurants to cater for every taste. The tourist office especially helpful in weather reports and suggested routes through the nearby parks.

Location excellent you are right there, very clean, well run, breakfast good. Parking nearby. Absolutely gorgeous area. Bars restaurants on hand just walk out the door of the building. There was nothing not to like in my opinion.

this small familiar holel is located in a big beautiful square.the owner a very lovely lady who speaks good english wellcomed us with so much warm and we all felt like coming home.nice big rooms.very clean.wonderful bathroom.we became very friendly with the lady and she told us about her family her home and even taught us some spanish.on a sunny day it is so lovely to sit in one of the coffee shops in the square catch the sun rays
drink coffee eat sweets and feel so calm and relaxed.
Room Tip: room with a terrace facing the square.

This boutique hotel is situated on the main square, best location, renovated, large rooms, friendly staff.
We got a room with balcony view on the square.
Hotel brand new with spacious rooms, some with jacuzzi.
Breakfast very nice in the cellar which was also unique.
No elevator, so try choosing the lower levels, but upper levels have even better view...
They let you enter with the car (you first need to approach front desk) to drop off your stuff and than park 5 minutes away in public parking which is nice.
For 30-40 euro more you can sleep at the best location and enjoy great room and save the driving hassle. Really worth it and a different way to feel ainsa.

We basically stuck a pin in a map where we needed to be and when we needed to be there on a tightly scheduled drive from Andalucia to the UK. But after a few minutes in Los Arcos, we agreed that we would have driven 100 kilometres out of our way just to stay here. Our ever-helpful hostess upgraded us to the suite overlooking the Plaza, got us on-line straightaway and gave us the recommendation for dinner that ended the perfect evening. Bright and breezy at breakfast, she's what made Los Arcos the best pin-in-the-map find on the whole trip. We'll be back....

Clean and nit place, perfect location in the middle on the Medieval marvels square.
Lisette is the person in charge, so kind and helpful.
Only problem is to carry the luggage up and down. No bell boy. So come with light suitcase or be ready...
Don’t miss the city and if u are there this is definitely a very nice place to stay..

Hotel Los Arcos is in the beautiful and quaint town of Ainsa, Spain, just a short drive from the Pyrennes Mountains and several large Spain national parks. The hotel is right on the Plaza Mayor, and just steps away from several good restaurants on the square.
Our family stayed at Los Arcos for three days and the service was perfect! The hotel manager, Liset, was very friendly and helpful. The rooms are well apportioned and the breakfast (additional cost) was excellent. We would not hesitate to stay at Hotel Los Arcos again the next time we're traveling thru the Pyrennes Mountain region in Spain.

Curteous and welcoming greeting, large well appointed room, comfortable king size bed, perfectly decent breakfast, great location and all at an acceptable price. And situated next door to the fantastic Callizo restaurant. This combination makes Ainsa a good spot to visit and spend the night during a trip to northern Spain.

Friendliest reception ever. Beautiful small hotel in medieval building on the medieval town square of Ainsa. Rooms are spacious, as well as the spotless bathroom. Comfortable beds. Perfect breakfast with local breads, cuts and cakes. Nothing else to add: when in Ainsa: stay here!

This hotel is amazing value considering the beautiful old building it is in and the prime location on the plaza. The hotel itself is very well fitted out with spacious rooms including large, well appointed bathrooms and views of either the plaza or the mountains (we had a mountain view and it was stunning).

The staff were welcoming and friendly, the included breakfast - served communally at a long table in the beautiful, converted bodega - involved various options for a light, european-style start to the day or more substantial fare for fueling up for a days walking in the national park. The lounge/reading room was a nice touch and the on-site, self-serve wine store arrangement was excellent (on arriving home one night we wanted one more glass and were delighted to find, among several options, a half bottle of rioja, reserva 1996 for 6 euros - it was excellent).

Free wifi is always appreciated, though in a building of solid stone it is not surprising that you have to be fairly close to the wireless router for it to work. The position, right on the plaza of stunning Ainsa is hard to beat, and in late September we were able to park directly in front of the hotel. There are plenty of dining options to choose from in and around the square as well as a well positioned bar for a sunset drink.

Highly recommended

Arrived later than planned as the Tunel de Bailsa was closed but relieved to find spacious and comfortable 2nd floor bedroom with balcony overlooking charming old square and could park right outside which is important when travelling with dogs as summer season is over. Adequate breakfast but plenty for us. Would definitely stay again and this time eat at the Callizo which was closed this time. Had a wonderful day exploring the national park nearby.

We booked this en-route, sight unseen and were in no way disappointed. The village of Ainsa is just beautiful and the hotel is part of the main square. It is well appointed while being true to the medieval style of the building and town. Our welcome was warm and friendly. The view of our room of the mountains was wonderful and restaurants were a very short stroll away.

We stayed in this hotel in July 2012 and found it excellent. Spotlessly clean with all amenities in good working order. As it is in a centuries old building on the historic town square , the wonderfull unique atmosphere of Ainsa pervades it.

This is a nice comfy hotel. On one side it looks out over the Plaza Mayor of this beautiful Mediaeval village. On the other side (my room) there's an amazing view of the pyrenees. Great breakfast.

Note that the hotel isn't manned between midday and 4.30 pm so if you're going to arrive during that time, make sure the owner knows.

the most wonderful thing of this hotel is how they put together the medieval era,with the 21 century.Even jacuzzi in the standard room.There is no way to lose ,either you get the view to the mountains or the the view to the PLAZA MAYOR.So alive plaza,so friendly people.2-6 years old kids playing on the plaza.Is was a dream that I will like to have some day in this beatiful country of mine(america).The buffet down there in the basement,so good .I don't know how many pictures i took.And the personnel could not be better,internet,everything was wonderful.Real home feeling.
The town is a frozen paradise and the hotel a perfect place to stay there.

The hotel is situated in the square of the old medieval town on the hill. It really is a perfect location, with outstanding views from the rooms, but the square has limited vehicular access, and the car park is 400 metres away. The hotel building is old and oozes character, but the interior is very modern, and the rooms are elegant although a bit small. The beds are clean and very comfortable, and the air conditioning is quiet and effective. The en suite bathroom was generally good, but some things did not work properly. Although there were no facilities for making hot drinks in the room, there was a small kitchen downstairs for preparing drinks. There is no bar or restaurant, but breakfast is available for a small charge. Please note there is no lift, and the staircases are narrow. The staff were excellent and very helpful.

Overall this is a good hotel in a beautiful location, but that is reflected in the price.

Hotel is lovely, people very nice. The room (overlooking the square) was wonderful, bed very comfortable. Beautiful. Warm light, spacious. Nice jacuzzi tub, too. We got there after driving all day and had to call to get in... No problem.

Small, charming town, great views. Breakfast was excellent.

Some confusion about where to park and unload stuff. We were able to park in the square, but really you should park in the visitor's lot on the other side of town after unloading. Part of the issue is our lack of Spanish, however.

Beautiful small hotel on the historic Plaza Mayor in lovely village of Ainsa (or L'Ainsa). Spotlessly clean, great breakfast served in an underground 'cave' of historic significance. Great views from either the front or the back of the hotel. Couldn't have been happier with Los Arcos.

This is the place to stay in Ainsa. Brilliantly located in the middle of the beautiful medieval plaza, there are only seven well-appointed rooms in this lovely little hotel. Rooms are spacious and comfortable with a view of the mountains or the square, with lovely big bathrooms. Breakfast is an informal meal at a large communal table in the cellar, with really friendly service that makes you feel like you're staying with friends or family. The hotel has no restaurant but there are several good options on the plaza and surrounding streets. Highly recommended.

Los Arcos is a lovely small hotel in a restored village atop a plateau in above the town of Ainsa, a stopover for French and Spanish tourists crossing through a tunnel in the Pyrenees 30 minutes to the north. Staying in Los Arcos is a little like staying in a modernized 16th century shop with a converted wine cellar that now serves as a breakfast room. It shares a large pedestrian-only square with a few restaurants and tapas bars. And it's located next to an eco-center that's located in a remnant of the old town's wall left from times gone by. Totally charming...lively tapas bars and fun atmosphere with scenic views of the entire valley.

We loved staying in a room with a balcony overlooking the Plaza Mayor in stunningly beautiful old Ainsa. The hotel is small and very well maintained and managed. The building is ancient and the hotel retains much of its old character but our room was spacious and comfortable with a largish, modern bathroom.The staff at the hotel were all friendly and very helpful and made our stay most enjoyable. As other guests have said, the location is absolutely perfect. The old town of Ainsa is so pretty and interesting and the Los Arcos is slap-bang in the middle of the town square, within easy, easy walking distance of a wide selection of restaurants and bars. In fact several are within 50-100 metres! We enjoyed sitting looking out from our room, sipping wine, looking out over the Plaza Mayor before strolling across the square for dinner. Lovely memories!
Room Tip: Ask for a room overlooking the Plaza.

Stayed in a great room with a balcony overlooking the plaza; very cute and the complimentary bottle of cava was very helpful!!

We used it a base for a trek up the Pyrenees from Torla; it was wonderful to get back and enjoy an unforgettable moon-lit dinner at a plaza restaurant.

just make sure to call owner by phone if checking after 5 pm - she lives in the nieghbourhood.
Room Tip: if you keep the balcony door open, the a/c will not work.

Los Arcos is a small boutique hotel right on the beautiful plaza of Ainsa, a quaint medieval town recognized by UNESCO. The rooms were comfortable, clean and elegant. Breakfast was bountiful and very good. The manager, Lizette, was always helpful and welcoming.
