    There is no deco, confort is minimal… I think it was a bit pricey for what it is

  • Engine customer May 2026

    There were bed bugs!!! do not stay here!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The pool is open only in summer

  • Engine customer May 2026

    It is convenient to the airport and a walkable distance to stores and restaurants. Also, the staff is friendly and the breakfast is nice. The layout was a little confusing. More signs on the many buildings indicating which building housed which rooms would have been helpful. Also, providing facial tissue and water glasses in the room would have made a positive difference.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The hotel was very convenient for an overnight stay or early flight, located just a short drive from Barcelona Airport. The check-in process was smooth, the room was comfortable, and the overall stay was hassle-free. A great option for easy airport access.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    No frills, but exactly what I needed being close to the airport. Hostel-style setup with a private bathroom worked perfectly for me.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. It’s a good place to stay if you are after the airport. But it’s too far from central Barcelona.

    This is a school of some sort school laid out like a small college campus. It provided lovely areas to walk around. The room was simple but nice and supplied all we needed plus it was very clean. It was very quiet and peaceful.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Close to airport, breakfast available. Super friendly staff! The walls/doors are pretty thin and sound comes through.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Near the airport and convenient They have no noise policy

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Convenient location, good value, excellent facility that provides support to youth, friendly staff. I felt good about supporting this organization, which is located in a vibrant community. Was a little difficult to find. We ended up parking on street then walking. Not a big deal.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Very noisy

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    We needed a one-night stay very close to the airport, which was the main reason we chose this accommodation. I was pleasantly surprised by all the facilities available. The staff is very nice, and they have both on-street parking for free and interior parking for a fee. The pictures don't tell the full story! The room is very depressing, cold, and grey. If you have a short trip like we did, it's fine, but for two or more days, I would not recommend it at all.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    It was mega loud. You could hear every conversation in the rest of the building as if it was in the room. The room itself was the bare minimum. Nothing to decorate it, very clinical, metal and tiles. On top of this the room was completely lit the whole night by a bright blue light above the door that didn't turn off and the air-conditioning didn't function. I truly felt uneasy in the room and I'm not normally one to complain and am happy with little. This wasn't value for the money I've spent. At all.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    Convenient, clean, very close to airport

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

  • Engine customer Apr 2026

    The zone was questionable, but not much to worry about.
