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.

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

This place will work for a one-night stay before a morning airport flight, but it’s no frills. Also if you book a single, you’re likely to get put in a quad with bunks…just for you. Also, some reviews said that there was no air conditioning, but there is. You can’t control it, but it was a pleasant surprise in the summer. Breakfast is bare bones.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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!

Would stay again

Although this is a hostel type accommodation, we found it brilliant. Staff were great and very helpful. Room had 4 single bunk beds in it and bathroom was very spacious. Breakfast was self service plentiful. Places to eat within a short(ish) walk. Was about 6 miles outside Barcelona and one of the routes to the hotel was blocked by roadworks which caused us satnav issues but that wasn't the hotels fault. Only dislike was the state of the free car park. It was covered in sand with big ruts in it. We had torrential rain during the night and came down to our bikes covered in sand where the rain had bounced off the ground. On balance we would still stay there again.
