I wish I had read previous reviews more carefully, as the description given of the local amenities and transport links were very misleading. The Hotel itself is good value for money, and the staff helpful - but the location is terrible. The nearby bars, cafes and restaurants are in a soul less shopping centre which shuts at 10 pm every night - not very Spanish! The Hotel is also located near to a motorway so there is a lot of traffic noise. Worst of all is the journey into Barcelona itself. A 20 minute bus journey, and the bus only runs every hour, (the last bus back to the Hotel from the station is at 9.40 pm), then a 30 minute train to the centre of the City. Unless you are prepared to spend a lot on taxis, or have early nights - don't stay there!!

We stayed in this hotel in June 05. When booking it we were given the impression that it was convenient to the city centre - it sooooo isn't. You have to take a train to the city of valles (better part of 1Hr) and then catch a bus to the hotel (another 20mins) from outside the train station. The train journey is long. The bus does not run at night, on Sundays or on Feast Days..... We ended up paying more on taxis than we would have if we booked a more expensive hotel closer to the city centre.

Although the hotel itself is of an average standard, I would not recommend it to anybody (unless you have a car) as a base for visiting the city of Barcelona. Its just too far out.

You've been warned!!

Great place to stay. There is a modern shopping mall just across the street. The mall is called Baricentro and it even has a McDonald's.There is a bar and restaurant in the hotel, and everyone is friendly.Downtown Barcelona is just 15km away. We loved Spain.
