Hotels in Barcelona

Hotel Ciutat del Prat Barcelona

The Hotel El Prat is one of the Barcelona hotels that’s good for an overnight stay if you want to be close to the airport and don’t need or want to go into Barcelona itself – so essentially it’s one of the Barcelona airport hotels.

The hotel has 130 double rooms.

The hotel has 24 hour room service and the quality of the food is good, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the rooms are clean.

It’s a ten Euro or so taxi ride from the airport, and the hotel has a courtesy shuttle bus, not shared with other hotels in Barcelona, running every half an hour during the day to the airport.

We’ve stayed there ourselves twice now while en route to Andorra, breaking up the journey from the UK by staying in one of the Barcelona hotels, and if you’re just passing through we think this is one of the best hotels in Barcelona.
