Parking is not the best. They provide a lot but it is not paved so easy to damage vehicle. This is a good hotel if you’re on a budget. The free breakfast is nice as well. It is a basic meal but a “cheap” breakfast option. It is far from everything in city of Barcelona but close to airport.

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

The room was clean,but very utilitarian/industrial. There was no soap or shampoo (there is a soap dispenser in the shower) and only one towel. There are no phone charging outlets in the room. Having said all of this, it was great for the price and location and I would definitely stay again. The breakfast was quite good as well. It's not a hotel, but a hostel with some private rooms. It's also a non-profit, with the goal of uniting people from all over the globe. The staff were very nice and so was the vibe of the place. It might not be a good choice for an older more dis-concerning traveler with higher hotel standards. I liked it (I'm 58), but could see problems for some people. You get what you pay for and I was happy with what I got for $100 CND!
