The property is huge and convenient only if you wantbto stay close to the airport. Rooms were adequate but not clean. There was bad smell coming from toilets because of the way they conserve and utilize shower & sink water in toilets.

Stayed here on a last minute stay close to the airport due to flight problems. There were roaches all in the room which was disgusting. Air conditioner was poor and it was loud/noisy with people coming in all hours of the night. Definitely would not recommend.

We booked this hotel because it was close to the airport and our flight arrived late. It was very convenient to travel to via Uber. Took the metro to Barcelona the next day. A very eco friendly hotel with a lot of interesting initiatives

Safe place to get some sleep near BCN.
Bare bones facility to get some sleep near the airport. Beds were clean and comfortable but a bit rickety to climb up to top bunk. Shower needs a good grout cleaning but water pressure is good. 24 hour access with good night time security. We left without time to check out the breakfast. Surprisingly expensive cab ride to and from considering the short trip. We arrived at 2am so didn’t attempt the public transportation options.

Ac wasn’t working. You have to beg for things to work. Can’t sleep at night due to noisy birds and noisy customers checking in at night. Sounds like party house until 1am. The people at front office don’t care and are not at all helpful. Overall not at all a family friendly, quiet place.

Not great I have to be honest, and I really didn’t expect much. Booked a family room for one night as we had a late flight. Kids were exhausted and crying upon arrival in reception. Was 1am, two staff members but only one working the reception. Other one was swivelling around on the chair playing music. Had to wait 22 mins to check in. Got to the room and the covers were all dirty and unwashed. Ladders are all broken so we had to carry the kids into their beds. The room itself is genuinely filthy and the bathroom was so smelly and covered in flies. The sewage smell was unreal. Shower ran hot and cold no matter the time of day. The walk to our room from the elevator was 4 minutes which is just odd? There aren’t even stairs nearby at least. Was overall a very unpleasant experience. Breakfast was free but the bread was stale, staff guard the food in a weird way to where it feels uncomfortable to get anything. I would genuinely never stay here again and wouldn’t recommend. For £120, stay anywhere else.
