With Spain in lockdown and our Foreign Minister telling all Canadians to return home as quickly as possible while we were still able, finding the Tryp airport hotel at the last minute was reassuring, knowing we were one step closer to flying home.

Even though the staff were tired and also stressed, we had a quick and efficient checkin and were able to relax in the spacious and comfortable atrium lobby while waiting to do so. There are several stands with books for swapping, a TV sitting area and plenty of space to wander around. Very peaceful and quiet.

Our room was on the third of 4 floors and faced the highway. It was very clean and well stocked with kettle, tea and coffee. This is a ‘green’ hotel and it was nice to have glass mugs and drinking glasses. There was noisy traffic all throughout the night. I’d request a room on the other side, same side was the checkin desk. Despite this, we slept well.

Buffet breakfast was available for €12 and was delicious. The restaurant was closed for lunch and supper but a few takeaway items were on offer. We stayed 2 nights and took advantage of the free airport shuttle when we left. Sad we had to leave Spain earlier than planned but we will be back.

We stayed here for one night, amidst the CV19 scare, as we tried to leave Barcelona the next day. The hotel was an oasis of calm. The staff were very kind and accommodating. Including finding us a room at 8:30 am.
The hotel is dark and could yse some renovation updating, but it was very clean. As stated previously, the staff were do nice and helpful and upbeat, that it made this a pleasang stay on an otherwise gloomy day.

The breakfast buffet was more then adequate.

We stayed recently at the similar BW alfa and we give the nod to Tryp. The rooms are very similar, but we found the shuttle to run more reliably and the hotel is much closer to the airport. Otherwise, there is nothing remarkable about the room. it was comfortable and clean and there were no problems with the bathroom.
