Close to the airport. Clean room with incredible shower. For private two person room it was wonderful. Certainly would stay here again.

It was exactly what I needed, cean, safe, large room, hot water, comfortable bed and a cafeteria with good food and beer close to the airport. It's really close to the airport and you can take the underground train from the airport to within 2 blocks of the facilities. It's a good option and I'd stay there again.

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I have to say I stay was great. The reception staff were helpful and friendly, the room was clean and warm and the whole place had a nice atmosphere. For the price, I don't think you could beat it.

Everyone was super friendly and helpful. The rooms and common areas were clean and I felt safe. My biggest complaint was that it said they had a pool, but the (indoor) pool is closed during the winter, and I didn’t read that in the description. Overall, the stay was exactly as I expected it to be. The pictures were very accurate. Super close to the airport and would recommend to anyone who is looking for budget friendly accommodations.

Breakfast was poor
We had a family room, it was extremely noisy most of the night. Teenagers running round then replaced by adults coming in and not respecting anyone sleeping. Some of the sheets were stained. Breakfast was very poor, the minimal options were stale. Reception staff were nice and it was close to the airport. Unfortunately wouldn’t return

This was a generally a good place to stay, but it has some major issues that we had to figure out the hard way for our stay to be enjoyable. The best thing about it is that it is 5 to 10 minutes away from the main BCN airport, and they provide free luggage storage when you check out if you need to go sightseeing for a few hours. We arrived after midnight, and check in was easy due to the 24 hr front desk. The big issue was that we stayed there on a hot day, and our room seemed to have no air in it when we walked in, so we opened the balcony door to get some air. We hoped the air/temperature will improve but it kept feeling very hot. Eventually, after about an hour we complained to the front desk and they instructed us that we have to close the balcony door and wait for 15 minutes for the air conditioner to work! Why didn't they tell us this at chck in or write it in the room itself? We were sweating for an hour before we learned about it. Also, the 15 minute delay is quite inconvenient, but it least it worked at the end. From this point on our stay became much better and we were able to rest. We think on such hot days the least they could do is turn on the room airconditioned before we arrive (we let them know our flight time in advance), and give clear instructions not to touch the balcony doors!!

It felt like a shady neighborhood to walk through 10 at night. We had not idea never have visited Barcelona. Staying in tourist crowded places and an airbnb woyld have been wiser for our family og 6.

While the premises are modern and very close to the airport, this is the only pros of this hotel. The place is located inside a school/foundation where you'll walk across employees in the ground area. The rooms lack a safe and you'll have to use one in the lobby. The only soap available is the liquid one in the shower and there's no fridge. Water vending machine wasn't working so we had to use the lobbys coffee machine filtered water which cost 0.30 cents per 500ml. Last but not least breakfast was almost chaotic, with few food choices where the only bread was sliced bread and staff taking everything out and blocking other customers from entering exactly at 10, whereas other hotels will let customers come in and have what's left of breakfast when it's time to close. Anyways, the hotel might be a good choice if you are staying one to two nights on a budget and need to be near the airport or metro, but I'd suggest you book somewhere else in Barcelona if you want a better deal for your money's worth.

Staff were good but the rooms are loud, you can hear other rooms quite easily. Rooms are very hot and the air conditioning takes a long time to work. The breakfast was terrible, just continental breakfast with about 3 options, mostly just toast, not even cheese, and not enough drinks machines for all the people.

I think the rooms were pretty nice for a hostel. Sheets only on the beds. Towels provided. The ladders to the top bunks are not made for adults. Very wobbly. The pool was nice. The cafeteria was unexpected and served decent food for the price.

The room was okay. The first morning, all the cleaner did was fold the blanket on one of the 2 beds and empty the trash. The second day they took the towels, and did nothing else. No cleaning, no clean towels in exchange for the dirty ones, no clean bedsheets not even making the beds. The lady who handles the breakfast was extremely rude and unfriendly and kept yelling at everyone who didn't know her rules for the breakfast. The breakfast was very bad, with hardly any options and low quality food. We know this is a cheap hostel, but we are still very disappointed with our stay here.

Great clean place that is minutes from the metro to easily access downtown, airport, etc. Quiet, peaceful was able to catch up on sleep and reduce jet lag. Love the intentional eco conscious design and community focus both for the environment and humans. So glad we found this hidden gem.
