Very simple hostel but nice and relaxing athmosphere. Although I normally book business hotels, it was an interesting change. Price was too high for this type of hostel but probably because a lot of hotels were fully booked. This hostel is also part of some kind of non profit organization.
Clean room, super close to airport for night before flight. Super crazy loud frogs behind in courtyard, sounded like they were attacking each other, lol. Front desk guy was ultra pompous, but security guard was beyond nice. Breakfast decent. Great spot for night before leaving.

If you’re looking for an airport hotel this isn’t quite it. You have to get a bus to it and we arrived late at night which took 45 mins. Good for convenience but isn’t quite what you’d imagine an airport hotel to be distance wise from the actual airport.
What made the property unique to us was the fact that it is sustainable. Loads of natural light. We were immersed in nature while being close to the big city area. The metro is a short walk in distance. It is quiet despite being located behind the airport. The staff is bilingual, kind and knowledgeable. We toured Barcelona on our last day while leaving our luggage safely at their location. Would definitely recommend and go again. The Morales love Barcelona ❤️
The place was nice and the staff was very helpful, but we arrived late and had trouble finding it at night, our taxi driver dropped us off a few blocks away and we got lost in a low income housing complex next to the hostel, a police car showed up and said that the area was very dangerous and that we shouldn’t be there, he kindly escorted us to the hostel.
