Parking is not the best. They provide a lot but it is not paved so easy to damage vehicle. This is a good hotel if you’re on a budget. The free breakfast is nice as well. It is a basic meal but a “cheap” breakfast option. It is far from everything in city of Barcelona but close to airport.

We took a taxi from the airport. It's in an area close to the airport that's not surrounded by other hotels. It's frequented by large youth sports teams. Pleasant staff and soooooo clean. Walkable to small local shops and restaurants. Great value for the money
