"Easy to get around from this location "
A verified traveler stayed at INNSiDE by Melia Barcelona Apolo
"This hotel exceeded our expectations significantly. The staff were really helpful and friendly. The room was clean and tidy and well serviced. These are so many things to see and do within a short walk. There are also good transport links just a few minutes from the hotel. The breakfast was excellent, much better than many higher rated hotels. Definitely an excellent stay. "
"The property was very well taken care of inside and very updated. The bars and restaurants were very nicely kept and the staff was always nice.
The exterior of the hotel is the only item that needs updating but when you walk in, it’s a nice surprise to see the inside updated and lovely. "
A verified traveler stayed at Barcelona Airport Hotel
"Very friendly receptionist.You have to figure out everything yourself once you get the room. Be prepared for electricity failure, no hot water, no matches to turn on the stove, no internet in your cabin. The restaurant was nice and the store is good. The best part was having accomodation 7 minutes from the airport. Taxi to the airport Euros 22. Bus to downtown Barcelona is 50- minutes and costs $7."
"Stayed here for 4 nights and was overall pleased. They have a lovely rooftop bar which was a great place to unwind after long days of sightseeing. There is a metro station right next to the hotel which made getting around very convenient. The restaurant was also nice, had dinner there once. Staff was very friendly, rooms were on the small size however not an issue since we were hardly there. Only issue is if your room is on the side of the main street, it can get a bit loud at night however this was not a realy issue for me. "
