+ the room was clean, the beds were comfortable Do not bother about the breakfast if not included. Pretty cloured juice drinks instead of fresh juice aren`t right for grown ups. The hotel itself and our stay wasn`t unpleasant at all, but there is something that make me feel unsure about this hotel. Sorry

"Dirty Room, Expensive Spa, Average Breakfast but OK location."

Our beds were covered in long black (presumably female) hair, the bathroom was in need of a really good clean, our "triple" room was a double with an extra bed squeezed in making the small space very crowded so, overall, not a four star experience for us but the worst part was the "spa". The promotional photo shows a large swimming pool, which I was looking forward to taking my young son to play in. Sadly it appears that it`s not a swimming pool (despite signs on the wall showing directions to the swimming pool) it is a "water wellness area" for ages 12 and above and it costs 11 euros (including 2 for the swin hat that you must wear - even though it`s not a swimming pool) to get in.The shoddy, worn out, furniture all around the hotel make the building look tired, dirty and old. 2 - 3 stars at best, certainly not four.

"A very comfortable hotel with excellent food available"

An enjoyable stay at a reasonably-priced hotel; it is clean, very comfortable, and the food is very good but there are a few points to be aware of.1 - The shuttle service is very good on the journey into the city centre, but unreliable on the return to the hotel as it is difficult to find where it will stop among the many parked coaches and is not distinctively marked.2 - If you have paid for breakfast in advance, make sure you have your receipt with you as they may try to charge you again3 - Glass doors on the bathroom/toilet ... unbelievable!

"super hotel good food friendly staff"

After booking . Read some negative reviews on other sites and got a bit worried. Stayed for four nights and was very happy. Good rooms, huge comfy beds and well air conned. Bus to Barcelona every hour for 2 euros return and free 24 hour shuttle to airport. City is about 15 min on bus and what a city! . Hotel has supermarket McDonald`s on doorstep. Only negative we would point out is no outdoor pool but for price , overall fantastic hotel and would definitely use again.

"Good location if you need to be close to airport "

facilities are basic but good at this hotel, hotel was spotlessly clean, staff were efficient but not really that friendly. Use of pool facilities incurred an additional charge,which was a disappointment. Hotel location is excellent if catching an early flight or if only on a short stop over

"Pleasant stay"

Our stay was pleasant enough , we one stayed one night , we found the food ok , the room was comfortable but the see through glass bathroom door was a little uncomfortable .Also the television did not have any English speaking channels , although it did have German , French and of course Spannish , I would thought seeing as your hotel is an airport hotel and the majority of your guests are from other country`s , you would of had an English Channel available .But all in all a pleasant stay .

"Value for money"

At last, a hotel that provides exactly what you need and at the right price. A nice touch having a free shuttle service into Barcelona itself as well as the airport. We will certainly use this hotel again when visiting Spain

"A lovely hotel, good location, free shuttle from airport, swimmung pool/ spa excellent"

We enjoyed our stay here. There is only one English channel available; light bulb needed changing; spa excellent but changing rooms have room for improvement. No soap in showers in changing room.There is a superstore a few yards away so it was handy to shop. Water very pricey at the hotel - we reached there on Sunday so were stuck as everything was closed. There is a big M nearby. Shuttle buses to Playa Espanya - limited service but good. Overall a good stay there.

"Good Customer Service"

The ladies on the front desk were so very helpful and the lady who was doing breakfast every morning and the lady behind the bar looked after us very well. They deserve a lot of credit - they work very hard! Please send them a HUGE thank you for us...we would come back again just for the service from them!

"Friendly staff, good location, good spa, good room rate"

Stayed overnight with a family of four. Located in retail park but perfect for our needs. Easy to get to city centre by hotel transport or local bus service (20 mins). Very friendly staff. Food in restaurant slightly expensive but bar menu available at good price. No swimming pool but very good spa and gym. would use it again if we return to Barcelona.

"Gluten Free Friendly"

Congratulations to Front Air Congress on catering for my Gluten free requirements, even down to providing gluten free bread. The staff and facilities were excellent and closeness to Barcelona Airport an added bonus. The closeness of a shopping centre next door was also a plus. Would definitely stay there again. Well done Front Air Congress and Hotel Direct for your service.

"We had a fantastic stay at the front air congress!!!!"

We couldn`t have asked for a better hotel for our first holiday together. The staff were amazing, the hotel was gorgeous, and the spa was amazing!! To get into the main town we only had to walk round to back of the hotel and catch a bus to espana then the metro, so easy. Really cant fault the hotel or staff in any way. We only had one meal in the hotel and really wished we`d eaten there more. We both highly recommend this hotel and cant wait to stay again. Thanks to all the staff.

"excellent spa, friendly staff, comfortable rooms all for a fair price"

As this hotel is a little way out of central Barcelona the shuttle bus is an excellent addition to the clean rooms, excellent spa services, and extremely helpful staff. My friends and myself booked this hotel on the internet and was extremely pleased with the facilities and would book again. The price was fair and excellent value for money.

"Not a suitable Hotel for Tourists as it is a fair way out of Barcelona."

There were no Tea/Coffee making facilities available in the room.Two mornings out of four we had no hot water for shower.Double room is two single beds pushed together with individual bedding which made making a double bed very diffulcult.Restaurant did not open until 8.30 pm in the evening.Overall we were very dissapointed with our stay.

"Shuttle bus"

No information on how to get shuttle bus. Airport did not know. Phoned hotel and got what sounded to be a spanish answer phone. Plane arrived at 11.30pm so had to get taxi which cost 25 euros. This made hotel very expensive. Hotel very impersonal and very hot, airconditioning did not appear to work.

"Close to the Airport with a free shuttle bus from the Airport and into the City"

Very clean hotel, the staff are very helpful and give you good advice on how to get into the City etc. Note the use of the spa and the pool are extra. Only complaint is do not book the breakfast option as it is not value for money and a very poor choice of food for the price. Location great for an out of the City Hotel as there is a shopping mall next door and some fast food restraunts nearby. Try the WOK for a great value meal.

"Nice but dull....."

Nice hotel overall, rooms well presented however we stayed in room 362 with a lovely view of the side of the hotel. Felt like being in prison. As we were sightseeing did not realise how isolated the hotel was, there is a bus transfer into barcelona taking 15 mins but if you are planning a late night forget it! The bar is only entertainment very polite attentive staff in bar. TV has no english speaking channels not an issue if there was enough to do, more set up for the buisness man. No tea or coffeee making facilities, and the vending machine gladly mug you at 2 euros per can of soft drinks. Oh and yes I dont take kindly to the 3.50 euro charge for just 15 minutes on the internet.Finally if you like commercial parks and supermarkets then this is the place for you, otherwise as I wish I had done look elsewhere if this is a trip for pleasure.

New hotel with difficult links to Barcelona. No train station but to get in, one bus ride then jump on a metro train, In all this takes about an hour - we took the car and paid the price.Hotel very nice with good facilities, BUT: swimming pool is for over 12s only, I was annoyed as we wanted a hotel that my 4 year old could swim at and this was one of the criteria for booking, also, and more importantly, the family room we ordered had a cot with the double bed! Great except that this was for a 4 year old who has been out of a cot for over 2 years and is, in any case, too big for a cot. Happily, the double was in fact 2 doubles pushed together so we all slept in the one bed with no ill effects. Overall, new, sleek, good facilities, cheap when booked here but not the best for families.
