Stayed twice within a week due to a late flight into BCN and a subsequent early departure. The hotel is modern with good facilities and it's in decent shape. Frequency of airport shuttle service could be improved. The hotel also has transfers to the center of Barcelona, some with a fee. Location: It's really not as far as the previous... more

First, dont be fooled by the name of the hotel as an "airport hotel". Yes it is a soulless boring hotel with a view on a dumping ground, as you would expect from an airport hotel. But in terms of location, it is located a good 20 minutes drive from the airport without traffic. Second, dont be fooled by the... more

Had an early flight in the morning and decided to stay close to the airport for 1 night instead of downtown and this was a great choice. Extremely clean and great service. Fantastic firm bed with luxury sheets. Felt like I was back in the US, which after 2 weeks was nice. Unfortunately the shuttle wasn't working as early as... more

We stayed here pre/post our cruise because they offered shuttle service to and from the airport and shuttle service to our cruise ship. We made reservations for the hotel-pier and pier-hotel shuttle service and received a confirmation letter from the hotel. The cost for the hotel-pier shuttle was 10 euros per person, each way. On our departure from the hotel... more

The hotel is a very nice looking place but the organization is quite poor. Most personnel is from south america while one would expect spanish people at least at the reception. Check is slow and they spend extra time explaining things you don't need while people are waiting in line. In the room, ( we talk of a room costing... more

A very strange experience. The hotel is (was) very poorly connected to the city - there was only one shuttle bus available per hour, and the last one departed to Barcelona at 6pm - if I remember correctly. It was, both, very difficult and costly to return back from the city in the early hours after clubbing. The same applies... more

There are many old and beautiful hotels in Barcelona close to attractions and with views of the marvelous architecture. But if you are looking for someplace convenient with a little bit of American amenities, you couldn’t do better than the Marriot Renaissance located near the airport. First are the free and frequent shuttles from all three terminals that will get... more

Very convienent for people pre/post cruising. Especially if you are jet lagged and are coming in at approx 0800 after a long flight from USA. Early check in (0700) is normal. Free shuttle to and from airport and also to downtown Barcelona where you can catch the Barlcelona tour bus ( get off/onn all day type). Also across the street... more

We stayed 2 nights at the Renaissance hotel in June before the start of a cruise. The hotel provided a free shuttle from the airport and because we were platinum Marriott rewards allowed us early check-in and use of the Elite lounge. The transportation in Spain is very expensive so the shuttle is a very nice service. There is also... more
