Alexandre Hotel Frontair Congress

I arrived at the hotel and could only park outside, which was inconvenient. I checked in after 1 PM but was initially given a room with two single beds. Upon requesting a double bed, I had to wait 40 minutes before they found me another room. Unfortunately, that room had a leaking roof, so I had to move again. The next room seemed fine at first, but in the evening, I discovered the toilet was continuously running, creating a noisy disturbance. Even more frustratingly, the toilet's inlet valve wouldn't shut off. I contacted the front desk, and they sent security personnel to fix it, but to little avail. Despite these issues, the hotel was surprisingly busy, with no rooms available for another switch. I spent the night moving from room to room until 3 AM when the front desk finally found an empty room. I managed just three hours of sleep before having to leave for the airport at 6 AM. Paying 105 pounds for such an experience felt utterly unworthy, yet the hotel was fully booked, which was astonishing. This was a painfully disappointing part of my Barcelona trip.

Cozy hotel with shuttle between hotel and airport.

Great location. Comfortable beds

It was not great for what the price was, reception was extremely unfriendly. Room was ok, bathroom was moldy. Free airport transfer was fine, you will have to sign up for it - they will not tell you about it at check-in, I had to ask.

I wouldn’t give 4 star to this hotel - small room with a bit old furniture and flooring, bathroom was ok but shampoo dispenser didn’t work. Good location, close to airport and a good breakfast. But free airport shuttle was not available for us at the time we needed because it was fully booked so we had to pay anoter 25 euro for taxi. Awful smell in the area even inside the hotel. Wi-fi had a speed close to zero so couldn’t be used and reception manager told me - we could do nothing until the morning.

Its better than the review said
