Beach Hotels in Castelldefels

I had high hopes for this ”4star hotel” From the pictures and the previous reviews everything seemed like it was too good to be true... Arrival was average, had to ask which way to go to get to my allocated room (normally you are directed by a member of reception atleast) Arrived at my room (104) 1st floor. Opened the door to a bright airy room..my first thoughts were this is lovely. Dropped my bags and took a shower and that's where things started to go downhill...let me explain... Now I am aware this is not 5 star but if im being totally honest I have stayed in cleaner 2 star hotels... The attention to detail from the cleaners is just way below par for a 4 star establishment. Shower door covered in limescale (easy to put right with a bit of Elbow grease) Mold and nasties around the outer edge of the shower door (see pics) Splash marks all over the tiles at the side of the sink (like old toothpaste marks) Sink wouldn't drain properly (seemed to be blocked) Skirting boards definitely hadn't been given a wipe for a good few weeks/months All standard/basic stuff that you would expect from any hotel and certainly from a 4 star one or am I being picky? Then there was the call to reception to ask for some milk so I could make a coffee (kettle is provided in room) Receptionist said they don't have fresh milk only 'powdered sachets' of the most vile tasting milk I've ever had (think baby milk/gone off normal milk) Apparently the restaurant was closed so they could not access it to get some fresh milk? Receptionist advised me to go to the supermarket..which is a 25 minute walk from the hotel 🤦♀️ As it happens there is a coffee machine outside the reception entrance so I found myself nipping downstairs to buy one from there. (Not the most convenient but we move forward) I had read that there was a rooftop restaurant in the flyer as advertised but when I asked about it apparently it is no longer there? The restaurant is only open at breakfast times so no food is available not even snacks? However they advertise room service so unsure how that works? Outdoor pools closed which is fine but you couldn't even sit on the loungers hence....nowhere to sit outside the hotel itself. Such a shame that all these little things build and in turn let it down as a 4 star advertised hotel. Now for the positives... The view from the room of the sea is beautiful It is literally across the road from miles of sandy beaches There are a couple of lovely restaurants nearby that are open from 12 noon for brunch/dinner and reasonably priced. The area itself is super quiet and feels safe enough as a solo traveller.

A good hotel near the airport, cheaper than in Barcelona, but if you have baggage, then plus the cost of a taxi. Rooms are clean, breakfast is modest, cleaning is good, resepshn is welcoming. Near the hotel there are cafes and shops, up to the sea minutes 30-40 I liked it. There is a castle near the hotel.

I have stayed countless. There are two buses 94/95 at the door of the hotel, which go directly to Plaza de España and Plaza Catalunya. Without traffic jams, it takes about 20 minutes to half an hour to reach the city center. It is about a self-driving car from the airport. Ten minutes' drive, it is recommended to rent a car!

Super nice, help continue at any time, you come even without speaking Spanish without problem, everyone speaks English. Rooms very clean, especially tiles and finally no hotel with old tape floor. Great bathroom. Reserve the hotel.

Excelente lugar, un apartamento amplio, completo y con un personal muy amable y respetuoso; cerca de la playa, y enfrente tienen paradas de buses que conectan directamente con el aeropuerto y el centro de Barcelona. Muy recomendado.

The hotel was unstaffed after 10:30 PM. The bed was quite small, making for an uncomfortable night's sleep. And the air conditioning was excessively noisy. It's easily accessible from the city center by bus. It's also very close to the beach, so I'd recommend it for leisure trips, but not for business travel.
