Top Zona Franca Hotel Reviews

Barcelona Airport Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel overall was good. Very close to the airport, which is what we needed. The restaurants and bars had lots of choices for food for different diets and young children. Some staff were excellent, and some were the exact opposite, so I gave my rating a “good”. The main thing to note is that the rooms have very poor sound insulation, so we heard doors slamming all night and a family with kids yelling past midnight on a Tuesday when we had to get up at 5:30am for an early flight. The shuttle is a great bonus, but it gets filled quickly so go early. The driver was very condescending. Overall, the good outweighs the bad and we’re already staying there again when we have less than 24 hours in between flights in Barcelona."
