Reviews

Good location near metro and markets, food choices in vending machines. Spacious community rooms, swimming pool. Need more washers and dryers that are working please.
-
Spacious and sustainable with yard and swimming pool. Vending machine with very good price especially for water refills. Close To metro station and many small markets. Only two washers for these many people and two dryers but broken. If it has more washers and dryers it is a 5 star for budget travelers.
-
Rooms are good size. Vending machines offer affordable selection. Close to metro station and many mini supermarket. Need more washers and dryers that are working.

Nice breakfast and lovely outdoor area. The place itself is lovely. Room full of very loud people in their 20s playing loud music and drinking until 1.30 am. Staff didn't do anything to stop them even though they were really loud. Had to confront them myself as kids couldn't sleep. Ended up being quite dangerous. Bad experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 We stayed here as a group of 6 for one night before our flight from Barcelona. The location was the biggest advantage, only about 10 minutes from the airport, making it very convenient for an early departure. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, and we felt it offered decent value for the price. The room was adequate for a short stay to rest, shower, and get ready for our flight. The facilities, comfort, and cleanliness were average rather than exceptional, but everything was acceptable for a quick overnight stop. Overall, this is a practical choice for travelers looking for a convenient airport hotel in Barcelona. It worth the price. Ac is cold though.

Clean, breakfast was included. Dinner was lacking, beds were uncomfortable, no soap provided in bathroom, a/c didn’t work well.

The place is in an amazing location, where you can truly feel the magic of the island, and it’s absolutely beautiful! Th

All praise for accessibility for people with disabilities, for water recycling, and the use of solar energy. Staff friendly and ready to help. It is well connected to all parts of Barcelona.

THIS PLACE WAS NOT GOOD! BEWARE First upon driving into the neighborhood it looks as bad as it was. When getting out of the taxi the smell of urine and body odor overwhelmed us. There were all sorts of unsavory looking people roaming outside the building. Once inside the reception looks like a halfway house or rehab check in (not a place I want to give my Passport to for check in). Once clearing the check in window the guy gave directions to "the room"(go outside turn left walk to other building and "see the woman". At this point I was already on my phone looking for another hotel! Once we saw "the woman" we were cleared to take the elevator upstairs. When we made it upstairs after several attempts to unlock the door with the key card... the door kept flashing red and would not unlock. At this point left my spouse in halfway with our luggage and took the key card back to "the woman" to get our key issue resolved. The woman takes the card and says she will be back in 10 minutes. When we finally get in the "room" this was more of as I could imagine a prison type cot or 50 bucks place.... Long story short 10 minutes in we asked "the woman" to call us a taxi- checked out .... and we booked a room at the Hilton same price! What didn't I like was that Booking.com offered this place for people looking as a quality stays.

Close enough to the airport, comfy beds, clean bathroom. I bought dinner at the albergue and it was good, breakfast was included. Great for a one night stay Expensive taxi from the airport, unable to reach by bus
-
Close to airport It felt like a prison cell. I wouldn’t recommend this place for families. Not a great location.
-
The property was clean and conveniently located close to the airport. Although there was no on site restaurants, I offer a variety of vending machines. I did not realize that this property was a hostel until I checked in. Therefore the room was not equipped with the regular stuff. You often find a hotel I chose coffee maker, fridge, and iron ironing board
-
It was not easy to find. Street signage would have been helpful
-
There is no deco, confort is minimal… I think it was a bit pricey for what it is
