Hotels near The Gallery in Barcelona (Aeropuerto Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Terminal 1), El Prat De Llobregat

Me and my 15 yr old daughter did a night here before flying home to the UK next morning. We had been staying at Portaventura and I had been nervous about being 2 hrs travel from the airport on the day and dependent on potentially unreliable public transport. This hotel despite the description isn’t that near to the airport - about 5 miles away and the bus we transferred to (L99) doesn’t stop that near to the hotel- good 20 mins walk with suitcases in tow. But I knew some of this before and was prepared. You need your iPhone map on to find it through a number of suburb streets. As regards the hotel, it’s no frills but the staff spoke good English and my daughter now speaks conversational Spanish too which helps. They were also all very friendly. Room normal Ibis basic but fine for overnight stay and breakfast was simple continental but again fine when it’s basically grab and go you want. Looking at the bus timetables to airport next morning they were all being cancelled or delayed so we got a taxi (there’s a rank outside hotel) instead for €22. Ate at the McDonald’s adjacent to hotel and there is also a Lidl over the road., would consider using it again in similar circumstances

I have been staying in this structure several times and, unfortunately, I was completely disappointed at the last time. In fact, the experience at the reception, usually always unfair, immediately after I have provided my identity card, I ask for payment by card, the employee takes my card and despite returning my name and name asks me to to give him the one with which I booked online, telling me that I had to check my identity, now I wonder, you have my document in your hand, you have my card with which I want to check the room in advance, I am a customer with dozens of nights, why should I show the card I booked with? And if I left it in Italy? It's really unfortunate to be treated as if I were a non-reliable person. We come to the room, in and temperature is intolerable, too warm and a disturbing bad smell, I'm acting the conditioning plant by supporting the absurd noise it was making. After a while I decided to shut off it and go to my job date. When I come back to the evening again, I am very tired of the trip, I simply decide to turn off the conditioning without warning the reception because I should certainly have waited for the maintenance. It was not finished, the room was covered with a layer of powder not worthy of a 4-star structure, but also a pension, the furniture was ruined, smacked, squeezed with the risk of finding some wooden stains. The receptionist has made me clear this, but I am quick and quite disappointing that they have not chosen this structure after so long.

I stayed here for two nights in January 2022 as part of a group tour and overall had a pretty awful experience. I faced the following problems at this hotel- 1- The bathroom is open without any door so basically everyone in the room can see you inside the bathroom. This is not an ideal situation for any travelers except couples. Moreover, it ensures that the water from the shower falls into the room and makes it wet. 2- The bed provides no comforter or blanket. So when you feel cold you have to unwrap a brown paper full length cover that does not give any protection at all from the cold. 3- When you switch on the hand shower, the head shower comes on automatically, that too with ice cold water! 4- There is a large counter behind the bed to place items but when you put something on it, you get a loud metallic shrieking noise. 5- Air conditioning in the corridor outside the rooms is set to freezing temperature. 6- Breakfast timings were supposed to be from 7 am to 10 am, but when we went at 8 30 am most of the food was over and nobody was taking an interest in refilling the food. The coffee machine was not working properly. 7- We could hear everything that occurred in adjacent rooms, because soundproofing was poor. 8- We were given two separate beds in spite of being a couple. 9- Finding out which switches operate which lights was very difficult. Moreover on the first day we requested a wake up call which never came! The few positive points are- 1- Close to Fira Metro Station on the Metro Line 9 (4 minute walk) 2- Close to Gran Vía 2 shopping mall (12 minute walk) 3- Friendly and polite staff Overall I think the hotel needs to make a lot of improvements!

Please do not live in this hotel, it’s basically not in Barcelona, you have to take the public transportation up to 1 hour to get to Barcelona by transferring at least twice. The wi-fi is too unstable to even watch youtube video. Most importantly, some staff are NOT capable of their jobs. On the first day I came here, I called the reception and asked about the laundry fee, a Tall Thin old man told me and emphasized twice that the laundry fee is included in the room and said they would ask people to pick up my clothes. However, nobody came. When I called again, a middle-aged woman told me that I have to drop the clothes in the reception because they don’t have time for me now. As she said, I went down with my bag of clothes. However, an old man in the reception said I should not give them the clothes but to leave in my room. But they can ask people to drop the clothes in my room and then took them to the laundry. What a mess! When I picked up my laundry I was surprised that there was a long bill since the guy in reception clearly said the lauded was in the room fee. And when I went to the reception and asked, the girl with long blond hair confront with me and acted very condescending. To quote exactly what she said ‘No, you must misunderstood, you room even did not include the breakfast, it came with nothing, only the wi-fi. Laundry fee is not in the room, everyone knows!’ I explained patiently multiple times and asked her to maybe ask her college because I didn’t tell a lie but she rolled her eyes and literally said ‘I can’t do anything, if you don’t understand, you go ask my boss’ and pointed to the boss (an old man stand right besides her talking to another customer). Before I opened my mouth, this girl talked in Spanish to her ‘boss’ first and the old guy frowned. I was pretty sure she tell the truth. I didn’t say I don’t want to pay the laundry, but I have to check what I heard. The way these staff did their jobs and solve problems were one hundred percent unprofessional and annoying. I love traveling in Barcelona but these few people just made our impression on Spanish hotels go down.

All the attention was very good, the self-check-in was simple and excellent attention from the landlady. Easy access, via metro and tram. The facilities, spectacular. Highly highly recommended!

Fantastic hostel very clean, completely renovated. Good staff care. Breakfast more than right. Excellent quality-price. You can't ask more due to your category. I am surprised the comfort of the bedroom. It is very close to the tram and bus stop with which is a very good option to visit Barcelona.

I’ve been waiting to write this review ever since I got back home from Barcelona. I stayed here with my partner for a few days during the week for his birthday. Admittedly we booked this hotel via Lastminute.com as a package with flights with Ryanair and we liked the look of the hotel as it was a trusted brand (Holiday Inn) and Molins de Rei seemed like a decently good area to stay in with easy access to central Barcelona. However… The hotel’s actual location is fine, it’s beside a supermarket and a restaurant (Viena, a local chain, we didn’t go but it was popular any time we passed), and it is also a 10-15 minute walk from Molins de Rei train station which is very handy for getting the train to the city, and I’ll get back to trains and transport later in this review (please do read as I wish I knew this before I arrived!) We got room 236 and fair warning, this room wasn’t very nice. I’ll attach photos to this review but our air conditioning unit was COVERED in black mould and we obviously could not use it for air as I was worried about catching something like a chest infection! And our television had a massive crack/deep scratch right down the middle of it. Totally unusable. After that, not long after checking in, we went back down to reception with photographic evidence and the reception team were completely oblivious to the state the room was in. Ironically enough each room comes with a certificate of cleanliness guarantee, did no one notice the MOULD? We asked to swap rooms as it was totally unacceptable and we were told we had to wait until the next morning as the place was fully booked. Fine, we can sleep with the window open. Next day, we were told we wouldn’t be able to move until that evening, but thankfully the head of the housekeeping team phoned our room and told us another room was ready for us. I joked to my partner “I bet they’ve moved us to the one across the hall”… and they had. To 237. It was a bit better with no smashed TVs and a clean air con unit - BUT, there was an extra door connecting this room to the one beside it, and we could hear shouting and arguing from whoever was staying in that one so that wasn’t great. Also the light from that room would shine under the connecting door which isn’t great when trying to sleep, so we had to use a spare towel to block it out. One major thing I would ALSO like to mention is that this hotel is right next door to a nightclub called Eitwo, which we didn’t even know about until Friday night, last night as of writing this, when we were flying back early Saturday morning. This club ONLY opens on a Friday and Saturday according to the reception team, and from about midnight to 6 o’clock in the morning, there were huge groups of people just hanging around on the road directly outside the hotel, and they were screaming and shouting and throwing things, for HOURS. We didn’t get much sleep, so if you’re planning to stay here over the weekend, please keep that in mind. So, going back to t

Very cool and funky hotel in a great area. Location: center city. Very convenient to many of the sites, metro, shopping (high end), hop on/ hop off bus, nice restaurants, etc Hotel overall: just COOL with a very laid back, fun vibe. Daily free yoga classes. Free walking tour. Amazing breakfast. Staff is very helpful and accommodating. No language issues. Decor is fabulous and eclectic. Excellent use of old and new. Elevators from the last century. Circular staircases surround the elevators. Yoga studio with colorful, comfortable pillows. Tile floors. Lots of shared/common areas including library, study, terrace (great sitting area for cards and a glass of wine), communal kitchen with fridges, micro, plates, glasses, flatware... The room: we got a double with ensuite bath. The room was TINY and dark. Had a bed and an open ”warerobe” with a rod and couple of shelves and that was it. One window with drapes looking out over a small, dark inner courtyard type square. Not even bedside tables. The bath was tiny and the shower floor was ceramic and treacherous when wet. No grab bars, so be had to be very careful. The room was quite off putting at first, but once you ”let it go”, it sort of fit with the experience. It made us socialize more and enjoy the common areas. Met a couple of interesting people... No TV -- anywhere, including common areas. At first it was strange, but we ended up enjoying the break from the noise -- it fits with the Casa vibe. Price/rate: very reasonable, @$100us per night plus tax.

The hotel is very good, very new and modern. It is also very clean. It is a bit far from the center. Regarding the staff, they were very little proactive. I checked in at 9:00 p.m. and went up to the room, when I went down to dinner at 10:05 p.m. they told me that the restaurant closes at 10:00 p.m. I think it's normal to report that, especially when you arrive at that time. In addition, they did not give me options of where to go for dinner or anything. Just ”closes at 10:00 pm” period.

The location of the hotel is very comfortable, with excellent cleaning and excellent friendlyness by the employees. I was particularly pleased with the director's attitude, who was not soaring at all by watching the number of clients waiting and left his office to provide assistance to the receptionists.
