We took a taxi from the airport. It's in an area close to the airport that's not surrounded by other hotels. It's frequented by large youth sports teams. Pleasant staff and soooooo clean. Walkable to small local shops and restaurants. Great value for the money

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.

Disliked: Amenities
Our AC did not work. It was “eco friendly” And supposed to work by sensor. We stayed here for one evening just to be close to the airport to travel home, and I feel we were not fully informed about this hostel. It was some sort of education campus? We still aren’t quite sure. Would not stay here again. Would spend more money on a regular hotel

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!
