Barceló Sants
If you’re taking the train the next day this is the place. The elevator in the lobby ( next to the free champagne station) takes you right down to the train terminal! There is a space flight theme through the hotel. Very comfy!

Barcelona Airport Hotel
Hotel works for an overnight stay prior to a flight but front desk staff isn't very friendly. Hallway carpets are filthy and the fact that you can not reserve a ride on the free airport shuttle is a concern for people trying to catch a flight ("first come first serve") and van driver makes no effort ...

Royal Ramblas
Excellent breakfast with lots of options and fresh churros. Comfortable room and great location. Cleanliness can be improved but seems to be a problem due to overtourism and city infrastructure rather than hotel amenities.

Jenifer greeted us with a big smile and open arms as we walked in the door! She was very helpful and even remembered our names throughout our stay. Best front desk hostess we have ever had!
