The neighbourhood
-
We checked in for night sleep and it was too much of sound and disturbance from other rooms.. They should make rooms sound proof. Couldn’t sleep at all Breakfast was very poor Not really
-
Location Bathroom and water system needed to be fixed
-
Simple rooms but pretty property. The staff was incredibly nice and friendly. There were no blankets on the beds
-
It was only a quick drive to the airport. It was very loud and the beds creaked every time you moved, making it difficult to sleep.

Close to metro for airport

Clean, nice cleaning and cafeteria staff. Upon arrival, the front office staff member who checked us in insisted on an additional charge of 70 euros. She claimed there was a discrepancy between the number of guests advertised for the room type and what was entered on the reservation. Despite the room being advertised to accommodate our group size, she blamed Booking.com for the error and stated that we would not have a place to stay unless we paid for a new room or the extra fee. This experience was incredibly distressing, as I was traveling with my two children who became worried that we would be left without accommodations. I felt pressured to pay the up charge simply to ensure my family had a safe place to sleep after a long journey. Another family faced same difficulty as they also checked in with same office lady. Other office staff was super nice.

Good location near metro and markets, food choices in vending machines. Spacious community rooms, swimming pool. Need more washers and dryers that are working please.

Spacious and sustainable with yard and swimming pool. Vending machine with very good price especially for water refills. Close To metro station and many small markets. Only two washers for these many people and two dryers but broken. If it has more washers and dryers it is a 5 star for budget travelers.

Rooms are good size. Vending machines offer affordable selection. Close to metro station and many mini supermarket. Need more washers and dryers that are working.

Nice breakfast and lovely outdoor area. The place itself is lovely. Room full of very loud people in their 20s playing loud music and drinking until 1.30 am. Staff didn't do anything to stop them even though they were really loud. Had to confront them myself as kids couldn't sleep. Ended up being quite dangerous. Bad experience.

Great hostel/hotel near airport -- comfortable facility and good value.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 We stayed here as a group of 6 for one night before our flight from Barcelona. The location was the biggest advantage, only about 10 minutes from the airport, making it very convenient for an early departure. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, and we felt it offered decent value for the price. The room was adequate for a short stay to rest, shower, and get ready for our flight. The facilities, comfort, and cleanliness were average rather than exceptional, but everything was acceptable for a quick overnight stop. Overall, this is a practical choice for travelers looking for a convenient airport hotel in Barcelona. It worth the price. Ac is cold though.
