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
Beautiful, very clean hotel with bar, restaurant, gym, pool, I will have to admit that my room was the smallest I have ever had but the bathroom was one of the biggest I've had. Pleasant staff, good food, I would stay there again.

Leonardo Royal Hotel Barcelona Fira
Excellent property - clean, safe, comfortable. A bit far from main Barcelona attractions. Wish the pool was heated to make it enjoyable outside the summer months. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
