Feeling pretty good about this one, definitely an option to consider. Giving it five stars because my last stay at a Four Points by Sheraton near Barcelona Airport was quite dirty, so this is a much better choice. Plus, they offer a free shuttle service. No need to book for transfers from the airport to the hotel; just ask Ctrip customer service, and they'll tell you the pick-up spot. It seems to run about every half hour. They also provide free drop-offs to the airport; just remember to tell the front desk the night before. Very convenient! If I need to transit through Barcelona again, I'd choose this hotel.

The room is not that big but is enough for a short stay, the free shuttle is convenient for the people who need to go airport.
Overall is good for those for a transit but not a long stay.

It's a bit of a walk from the subway station, but since I was heading to the airport, the hotel's shuttle service was incredibly convenient. While there aren't many convenience stores nearby, the hotel's in-house restaurant was more than enough for most of my needs.

I had a layover in Barcelona, with my next flight scheduled for the following day. I had originally booked a different hotel, but I switched to this one because they offered an airport shuttle. Before my trip, I emailed them to confirm the shuttle service and received a reply with the bus schedule. Upon arrival at the airport, I easily found the pick-up spot by following the directions in the video on their official website. I arrived at 8 PM, and the 8:30 PM bus never showed up. I called the front desk, and they said it would be a few more minutes. The bus finally arrived at 8:50 PM… a bit disappointing. However, the front desk and the evening restaurant staff were excellent. You can get a burger for dinner, and it's great value for money! Oh, and breakfast was good too. The shuttle to the airport the next day was perfectly on time, which was a relief!

Was very convenient to the airport and staff was so friendly.

The hotel's environment and facilities are great. There's a free gym available for workouts, and the view from the window is beautiful. The front desk staff was very nice; they even let me check in over an hour early. The breakfast was also good, and they offer an airport shuttle, which makes it a great choice if you have an early flight the next morning.

This hotel is located in an industrial area, home to Barcelona's largest fruit and vegetable wholesale market. However, there are some small businesses nearby, notably two Chinese restaurants. The owners were very accommodating and, despite being abroad where authentic Chinese food is hard to find, they tried their best to cater to my taste. The hotel rooms are quite spacious, and the front desk staff were also very friendly and tried their best to meet my requests. The airport shuttle service is particularly convenient, making it ideal for early morning flights.

Near metro station. Convenient access to airport with the complimentary shuttle.
Outside mechanic noise a bit disturbing, can hear well from rooms.
Staffs are kind.

We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was a perfect hotel for our stay! We stayed about 9 nights and were out and about in town most of the time and came back just to rest and recharge later at night. Manuel was absolutely lovely and greeted us there in the lobby every time we came back with a big smile and was so nice and caring. He helped us out with anything we needed or questions we had. He really made it feel like a comfortable stay the entire time we were there. The cleanliness and service is amazing as well across the board. The breakfast they offered was delicious and we definitely took advantage of that a few times during our stay before we hit the town. The amenities are perfect as well. They have a small pool that is great for relaxing and cooling down as well as a sauna and gym which were perfect additions for a longer stay if you find yourself with some downtime. The hotel is about 20 minutes outside of the center of Barcelona but perfectly situated near a few bus stops and a metro/subway station that made traveling much easier once we figured out the public transport. Can’t recommend this place enough for those that are looking for somewhere to rest and recharge in between busy or hectic vacation days! We can’t wait to come back again honestly.

Close to airport and very convenient for staying overnight for transfers. Hotel restaurant served very good food. Hotel rooms are clean and comfortable. Hotel shuttle buses from hotel to airport are convenient and reliable.
