Stayed there for 3 nights over a weekend period. Reception staff were really nice and polite, easy check-in and out. Breakfast was ok, bit limited with choices but for the price we paid it was worth it. Windows are double glazed so did not hear any noises from streets. Easy access to public transport, lots of supermarket nearby. Would stay there again.

“Barcelona is always lovely, no matter where you stay”

The city break started excellent, with a nice pick-up car from the airport included in the stay. I really love it, not to search for a cab or other transportation means.

The city break started excellent, with a nice pick-up car from the airport included in the stay. I really love it, not to search for a cab or other transportation means. And not to mention that the hotel is situated very close to the airport. The hotel is situated only few steps from a roundabout, but not on a main street, which makes the night more quite for you. And when you walk more than 20km per day, the rest is a blessing. Speaking of rest, the beds a very, very comfy, there was initially a problem with the AC and it was unusual hot for this time of year, but it was solved. The room is spacious, storage places are more than enough. Very good breakfast, good coffee. And nice people working there. There are a lot of places to eat near-by, and even the rest of the city is not that far, if you are used to walk. But I suggest the subway, it is not so far from the hotel.

I stayed at this hotel the day before my departure. It has an interesting set up in terms of entering the hotel. Either they let you in or you can get in with your room key. The lobby... what can I say... It is a budget hotel and there is not much to see. There are some chair that look filthy and then there is the front desk. There are 2 elevators to take you to your room. The rooms... After seeing the lobby... I was expecting something similar in the rooms, but I was pleasantly Suprise. The rooms (we had 2) were a good size by European standards and were clean. To turn on the lights, you have to insert the room key into the slot next to the door. The floor was clean and shiny. The bathroom had the basics and water pressure was decent. There is a closet and a safe. There was no ironing board or iron and we did not request one. There is Flat screen TV that I did not turn on. King size bed was comfortable, 2 nightstands, A desk and a chair. A large window with a view to the street and apartments across the street. The AC,,, one of the biggest problems in a lot of hotels in Europe. Let's just say it did not work even though the problem was notified. So we slept with the window open. Thankfully it was cool outside. I cannot imagine staying here during the summer months. Even 70 degrees outside would make the room hot. There was breakfast but we did not tried. We had to leave early. Transportation can be an issue. There is a bus that passes very close to the hotel (V1) but is not that frequent 10-25 minutes. The are 2 metro stations between 8-10 minutes walking distance. If you walk to Gran Via you will find a lot of buses and a Metro station that can take you to the center of Barcelona or to the airport. Bus #46 will take you to the airport terminals. Metro L9 will also take you to the airport. Somewhere I read a reviewed that mentioned that walking after dark around the hotel did not feel safe. I think that walking at nite anywhere doesn't feel safe. We did return to the hotel from the Metro Station around Midnite with no issues. Would I stay here again? well it depends. I payed 75 Euros per room which was not bad for Barcelona. I would not stay here during the summer months. Please improve the lobby area... at the very least change those filthy chairs.
