Nice hotel near the airport and port. We had dinner in the bar area. The restaurant was closed from 4:00 - 7:00 or 8:00. We got the focaccia read with Iberia ham and cheese eit was fantastic. Split it with someone. read more

It was nice they had a complimentary shuttle to airport. Negative is they are still about 20 min away to las rambla and gothic quarter area. Room was clean and they have a restaurant on site and had a nice breakfast to enjoy. read more

Rooms dusty and loud (right next to a train station) Parking is expensive, food is expensive and gross, The front desk was nice, but the lady in charge of housekeeping was being super rude! She was blonde lady (maybe late 50-60s). When I expressed to her that one of my scar wrap bandages was missing when housekeeping came by, she told me that they didn't throw anything away without consulting with the housekeeper, when I told her to go ask them, she did and that was the end of story. I work at a hotel as well (in the bar) and that is not a way that you treat a guest. I was in Spain for another week, and when I explained to my doctor he told me that they needed to get me another one. The head of housekeeping told me that they could not reimburse me but they offered a free burger and coke ! This was a joke! read more

Staff went above and beyond to help us figure out flight info, shuttle, port terminals, etc. We had a mishap right away, but they immediately fixed it no questions asked. Affordable, the best Best Western hotel I've stayed. They have a mini market, pool, spa, gym, complimentary wifi, and a nice restaurant. Highly recommend. read more

When we had a flight cancellation, the airline booked us here for a night. Other than the location not being too great, the hotel is wonderful! The rooms were updated, clean and super comfortable. The restaurant food was delicious and the staff was great. It would have been nice to have been in walking distance from some things but it's pretty far from anything interesting in Barcelona. It is a perfect stay near the airport though! read more

So the beds are not large beds. They are 2 twins pushed together. Plenty of mosquitos no way to kill them. Very busy hotel and you hear everything. Not at all like a best western in the USA. It's not a plus it's a minus. Food at bar was heavy and greasy. Pan del payés with no jamón serrano . Place was cute pool small indoors fits like 7 people. The sauna fits 2. Closes to airport and shuttle is nice. Girl at desk will try to Get you to go 4 hours before flight. Not sure if she has ever traveled in her life. Good bough for the price Btw nowhere near anything in BCN. Just a warehouse industrial area I read more

Rooms are tiny, beds are terrible, room thermostat has cool level of 21C. Lobby restaurant is filthy and filled with dirty dishes. Trust me as a traveler... don't stay here read more

So this hotel is super nice. It was a lot further from the airport than I expected based on the readings. Make sure to contact the hotel prior to get the shuttle info. We didn't and it was a crap show after two long flights and landing exhausted. Shuttle takes 15 minutes with no traffic. We had the same lady for the shuttle both when we landed and departed. Words of advice: wear your seatbelt. She appears to have some road rage. Check in at the hotel is a disaster. The counter is long enough for two people and the lobby is poorly designed for handling any type of line. WiFi is very good throughout the hotel. Food: Hotel is not in the "delivery zone" for Barcelona so you're stuck with minimal options. Having been traveling with someone who hurt there ankle, walking the mile across the bridge to restaurants wasn't an option. The hotel offers a $11 breakfast (seemed pricy) and was your typical European breakfast- pastries, cheese and cold cuts. We asked the hotel reception or other breakfast options, as $22 was a bit much for us. The lady sent us to a local restaurant within that truck area next to the hotel. It's about a 4 minute walk. You can get eggs, potatoes, bread and a drink for $5. Getting into the city: The bus is right outside the hotel. $2.20 per person per way. It's about a 20 minute trip with a solid 14 stops before in the area tourist would want to go. But runs every 45 minutes. The metro is about a 5 minute walk from the hotel. We had to wait 8 minutes for the next metro, so not too bad. Also $2.20 per person per way Ask the front desk (I'm sure you'll have to wait in a line) and they will give you a map with both explanations of the bus and metro. Depending where you're going. For Sagrada Familia the metro was better. And for the market and sight seeing the bus was better. I really wanted to like this hotel, but a lot of flaws. It's fine for a stop over for no more than 2-nights. There is nothing around the hotel. The hotel room: Super nice! Super updated! Super clean! If this review was on the room itself it would be 5-stars. Hotel rooms are very nice and comfortable read more

Stayed here for a night after a cruise because of its location to the airport. My window was broken and all I heard was an annoying LOUD whistle all night so I actually had to open the window and listen to traffic and rain. The bed was comfortable, the shower and bath were nice. The pool was warm, the sauna was broken. The gym has a great treadmill. read more

The room is average and the cleaning staff seem to take good care of the rooms. The breakfast was small but had great quality options. The only issue I have with this hotel is that you have to wait about 20 minutes for a taxi or Uber to arrive since it's closer to the airport. Update: staying here again and the receptionist tells me they only have a few irons for the entire place rather than one per room. Thus I am headed to work in a wrinkled shirt as who knows when one may become available. I will not be staying her again. read more

So decided to stay here 2 days using our points in Dec after our cruise before heading back to the US, because they had an airport shuttle. Big mistake, do not stay here in the winter months as they dont have the AC on in the rooms. So you are expected to open the windows and next to the hotel is warehouses with trucks blaring the horns at 4am. How do you expect to sleep? I brought it up with local mgmt with no response. How can a hotel have their AC off just to save energy at the customers expense of sleep. Also since its a US chain, the controls should be in english vs spanish. Thats crazy. Im sure other months are ok. Lesson learned, in Barcelona its easy with the Metro, no need to stay here because its close to the airport. Will not come back. I thought i slept ok, but look at the bags under my eyes the next day. Yikes i look like a train hit me. Plus, if you are asian, they have no sensitivity training here and will give you room numbers that offend you. Such as 224, 424. They responded in email that they had no idea. Their CEO is asian give me a break. A lot of things can be overlooked if the customer has a good nights sleep. Without it here is the outcome. First time this happened to me for a US chain. I know its not the chain because we stayed at another BW before our cruise and they had AC. The problem is this hotel specific. I usually dont complain, but my wife was real upset. Caveat emptor. read more

Best Western Alfa - Next day without a good nights sleep. Look at my bags under my eyes. I look like a train hit me. - Hotels Near Me - Barcelona, B

A late-ish arrival in Barcelona meant a decision to plop down for the night and pick up our car the next morning. We have been pleasantly surprised with Hotel Alfa. You don't expect much from airport hotels, my experience has been of rather dark, uninspiring buildings and overworked cheerless staff. The rooms are light and modern, there were quite a few little extras in the bathroom, the staff were welcoming and helpful. We are very glad that we did rest for the night before starting our holiday properly. We thoroughly recommend this hotel. They organise free transportation from/to the airport, ring ahead to arrange. read more

We stayed here for 1 night after arriving via a connecting flight from London to Barcelona. This was after a long flight from Denver to London. We picked this hotel because they had shuttle service from El Prat Llobregat Aeropuerto. We would definitely stay here again if we were just passing through Barcelona. However, if Barcelona was our destination, we would choose another hotel closer to the city center. There just isn't much around this hotel, but it's convenient to the airport. The attached restaurant provided a nice meal after a really long day of traveling. Stiff drinks and cold beer at very reasonable prices. We arrived when they were probably shutting down for the night, but they were gracious and efficient. read more

This place was HARD TO FIND. Does not come up on GPS. We had to hire a taxi to follow to the hotel. Zona Franca is still an enigma. It is not a typical area of airport hotels and not adjacent to the airport. Also note that different terminals are like different airports in Barna. Priceline indicated free parking, but they tried to charge us. Witht this said, for the price $60-something US - it was a steal. The bathroom was weirdly nice. read more

Warning: avoid the restaurant at dinner time! The hotel rooms are nice and comfy, as is the lobby, but my god, the restaurant (at dinner time at least) is comically bad. The selection was super limited, and everything was incredibly expensive. My wife ordered the 3 course (19.5 euro), which included some overcooked noodles with cheese melted on top, and a "small chicken" which came with potato fries. The chicken was tasty, but the fries were literally inedible (rock hard). For desert she chose cheesecake, which was small with no crust and tasted like it came from a fast food restaurant. Inlaws each got lamb, which was mostly fat with some overcooked dried out veggies (23 euro each). I chose chicken breast (13 euro), and subbed salad for the potato things my poor wife received. The salad came naked so I put some oil and vinegar on it, only to discover the vinegar was not balsamic, but some kind of olive vinegar (the kind you'd put on French fries). Boom - salad ruined. The chicken was actually four thin sliced pieces of fried chicken breast. Dry and chewy. The server was nice, but we had to ask for the desert course, and by the time we left, all of our much uneaten meals were still on the table. As I said, comically bad. Had to laugh by the end of it else we would have cried from the massive bill. Avoid at all costs. read more

The Good: Comfy beds, free airport shuttle, the price, it has a little shop with snacks and toiletries if you forgot and/or ran out of something, they're cool with early check-in and storing luggage, free wi-fi The Bad: It's near nothing. You have to take the bus to get anywhere. It is an easy bus ride, but a bus ride nonetheless. The food is overpriced significantly and not worth it. Plus even in the cafeteria thing that had extra hours, only one section of the menu is available. A cheese sandwich with chips, water, coke, and a glass of wine was 17Eur. It might have been my most expensive meal my entire trip. read more

To add to the positive reviews, I used YELP To locate an excellent restaurant about a half mile away. Nice walk. La Moreneta has very patient staff (helped me figure out what I wanted). Our room had a fridge, which I made sure of when booking. Nice king bed, air conditioning. Just wish the restaurant in the building was open two hours earlier for every meal. I would recommend this hotel. read more

We ended up at the hotel via a voucher following a nightmare FAIL at our return flight to the US when our aircraft's windshield failed during the take-off taxi. (!) This was actually the second night at a local hotel during this fiasco but fortunately the last - as we did make it out the following AM. If you're looking for a Central Barcelona hotel this is obviously not going to be on your list. However, I was VERY impressed with the hotel and they get top scores in just about every area. It is a new modern hotel with nice design. Considering the odd location - basically in the middle of nowhere adjacent to a freight area - the hotel setting itself is quite nice with a quite little garden area shielded from the street. There is a large natural area directly across the street that is an actual nature park extending down to the sea and apparently popular with hikers/bikers etc. If visiting this is in your plans, then I would definitely recommend the Alfa. Our room was comfortable, quiet and well fitted out in a modern tourist hotel fashion. There was something weird with the layout with the beds literally up against wall switches (and this turned on the room lights in the middle of the night!) and a funny built-in alarm that went off but these were minor negatives. We ate dinner and had drinks at the hotel that evening (not much else around). It was actually quite nice and much superior in both quality and friendly/warm service than our prior night at a Central Barcelona tourist hotel we had been put up at. Their breakfast buffet - even including some Cava - was excellent and delicious. The management seems particularly good and a manager made the point of coming up to me - following our travel problems - and asking if there was anything they could do to help us and made sure we got on the AM shuttle as we needed. Very nice and just the friendly touch that helped make our experience there a pleasure. If you are stuck/laid over at the Barcelona airport and looking for a convenient location for the night, I can highly recommend the BW Alfa. It is an attractive, professionally run operation providing comfortable accommodations and with a convenient regular shuttle bus from directly outside the terminals. As a tip, we walked across the street to the small gas station where they have a little convenience store. The folks there were very friendly/accommodating and even managed to find a corkscrew to open the bottle of cheap wine we bought. Can't say I'd look forward to repeating our stay but BW Alfa was a friendly, convenient and pleasant "port in the storm" for us. read more

airport shuttle service was the reason the hotel received 3 stars and not 5 stars. we waited for over an hour , we called several times advised where to pick up the shuttle also advised by other hotel shuttles drivers. the shuttle never came and we booked the hotel due to a free airport shuttle we had to take a taxi over 50 usd and extra expense . the hotel breakfast buffet was the most incredible buffet...the best it helped to enjoy a great selections on the buffet and menu . the hotel staff and personnel were friendly and helpful and spoke english . the room was spacious and the bathroom was great. overall i enjoyed my stay . read more

Just checked in and not impressed. The woman at reception was very nice to the people ahead of us in line who spoke Spanish. Actually she was talking a very long time being friendly and did not care if there was a line. When we got to the counter she was sarcastic and rude. Would say for English speaking people to stay away. The ac was off when we got into the room. We thought it did not work Turns out ac must be turned on at reception. It was not turned on until we asked. A good hotel would have had it on and the room comfortable when we arrived. STAY AWAY IF YOU WANT A COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT AND PLEASANT SERVICE. read more

What a pleasant surprise. I booked this hotel for our last day in Spain just because it is close to the airport and has FREE shuttle service. The shuttle was at the curb when we arrived but runs every 45 minutes so we were lucky. Seats can be reserved for trips to the airport. I had no idea the hotel was so nice. Spotless, comfortable, modern with friendly staff and the manager Jordi Lopez was great. Check-in was fast and efficient. We were given two free drink tickets for Cava. The WI-Fi is free, bottled water is free, a great buffet breakfast was included. The bathroom is very modern and ohhh, the giant bath tub with plenty of hot water. The daily plate lunch for 19 Euro was wonderful. We had a choice of three starters, three entrees and three desserts. All our choices were delicious especially the pasta course. Again the service here was great. This hotel is were we will stay on our next trip and for more then one night. We will take time to visit the giant market which is close to the hotel. This is not the place to stay if you are in Barcelona to sight see. It is an airport hotel and clearly the best Best Western Hotel we have ever stayed in. Good job Jordi and staff. read more
