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!

Close to the airport. Taxi was 21 Euro ($25) from airport. A bit pricey for the type of accommodations. Was quiet in our building. Beds were comfortable. Clean! Breakfast was a nice touch--just enough. Stayed here for a cruise next day. Taxi to cruise terminal $43

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.

Great friendly check in. Closest metro was Parc Nou plus 10 min walk. I wouldnt like to walk it in the dark but was ok in daylight. Economic option for 10 minute cab ride to T1 airrport but still costs 30 Euros. Were some noisy neighbours but was fine for a place to sleep for one night for early flight out the next day.
