Good overnight stop
Checked in at 01:30 in the morning - 12 mins from the airport by cab (23 Euro), spent the night had breakfast and moved on to Barcelona centre. The hostel was exactly what we needed for the first night.

This is more a community center than a youth hostel. If you are looking for a very cheap place near the airport : go but don't go if you are looking for cleanliness or comfort. This is a place to crash for a night on a low budget.

Nice but ...
It is a different type of hotel. It's clean but the eco friendly theme is a bit too much. No A/C so, you have to open the door and then... mosquitoes.

Our accomodation and staff were both very good for our short stay.
I wouldnt consider the neighboorhood dangerous. When I read de comments I was quite apreheensive, but I believe it's a matter of people's experience. Spent 21euros to get there from de airport by taxi and 24 to go back. To go to the main touristic points, consider to spend more than 30m by public transport.

Such a perfect location, near to airport, calm and beautiful, delicious and afforable meals, friendly staff and flexibility ot drop of our bags early. They gave us a breakfast picnic since we had to check out early to go to the airport. I wish i'd stayed here longer. Only con is that its a little far from the main attractiosn but the metro is nearby and it takes about 40 min to get to the city centre

This was perfect for our one night in Barcelona and close to the airport. It is very clean and I felt safe here. The staff was great about answering our questions and even called a Taxi for us when we had to leave for the airport at 3am. Very family friendly and a great price.

Excellent option to be near the airport
We loved that they have a really cheap dinner option. They gave us breakfast in a bag because we had to leave early. They conquered our hearts.

Basic but practical overnight near airport
Youth hostel with spacious individual rooms. Close to airport but too far to walk, regular bus service nearby, or taxi costing €21.
Institutional feel, bare rooms, with many school groups. Local area feels somewhat dodgy walking around at night.
As had 5.50 flight, it served as decent functional overnight.
