El lugar es muy bueno si buscas un hostal con gente amable y limpio. Todo es tal cual lo describen. Cerca hay un lugar para lavar ropa y un restoran típico español muy conocido que es un imperdible.

Barcelona Airport Hotel
It smells good. Some of the staff were great. I like the complimentary shuttle. And you can check in early. You must use your room key to use the power in the room. I didnt know that and didnt have power. Lol.

Nobu Hotel Barcelona
Do not stay at this hotel. One. Start with the upsell at check-in. You arrive jetlagged with a promise of a 3 PM ready room. There is none, but for a small fee, they will upgrade you to a deluxe room, which is ready. Not cool. Two. the room. I don’t know when this was built, but the room is not large ...
