It’s an older place, but large room. Pretty good price compared to other hotel. About 10 minute walk to the subway. takes about 20 to 30 minutes to get to City center from this hotel. It’s only about 10 or 15 minute ride to the airport terminal one.

Our AC did not work. It was “eco friendly” And supposed to work by sensor. We stayed here for one evening just to be close to the airport to travel home, and I feel we were not fully informed about this hostel. It was some sort of education campus? We still aren’t quite sure. Would not stay here again. Would spend more money on a regular hotel

I liked the price (affordable), staff (very kind I arrived 3 am and instead of giving my the shared room which I booked they gave me a single room so I did not disturb the other guests), close to public transport to the city centre I did not like the breakfast. 1 option of yogurt: strawberry, croissant taste like those you are given in the hospital, coffe machine quite basic, 1-2 cereals option do not remember.

Accommodations in Barcelona are very expensive and I needed a room overnight, close to the airport. The cab driver out of the airport had not heard of this place. The room had four narrow bunk beds, definitely not suitable for an elderly person. AC was not functioning properly, no wifi instructions, the door to the balcony did not close, only one electrical outlet in the room and poor lighting. The walls were scuffed and in desperate need of paint. Bathroom , bare bones, no soap. In closing, buyer be aware, you get what you pay for….room maybe suitable to a much younger crowd!

Staff was friendly and efficient, however this hotel felt more like a hostel. My wife and I (adults in our 50s) googled “nice hotels near Barcelona Airport.” This was the first “hotel” Google gave us. The online booking looked like a hotel on par with Hilton or Marriott, however this place was the definition of “minimalist!” The interior looked like what a prison would look, and the rooms had one towel, no soap or shampoo. Barely enough toilet paper. Steel sink looked like one would expect to have in a prison cell! And, finally the price of €142 would be laughable had the experience not sucked as much as it did! Avoid this place and stick with established chain hotels!

Worst night I’ve ever spent laying awake waiting for morning. After a long day and a late fight this was a horrible place to spent a night. The pictures on this website painted a waaasyyy to rosie of a picture of this dump. Air conditioning did not function as after waiting the 5 minutes as instructed and the room very warm. My repeated calls to the front desk went unanswered. I gave up and resorted to opening patio door after waiting promised five minute wait for air; only to be invaded by bugs. Decided to bare the heat and literally sweat through showering. I booked a room for two, with a bed and got two sets of bunk beds, I felt like I’d been drafted. Having spent from midnight until 5 am in this room, without sleep, it was an expensive place to take a lousy shower then lay sweating while waiting for morning. I will likely never trust Expedia again.
