Hotel Blauet is a clean, no-frills budget property with few extra amenities, situated about a 10-minute drive from Barcelona–El Prat Airport. The property features mostly single and double rooms, all of which are small and simple but well-maintained, with private en-suite bathrooms, seasonal AC, televisions, and free Wi-Fi (though some guests claim it's spotty). Rooms lack the usual perks, though, like toiletries, hairdryers, and kettles. Extra features are limited, too, though a sparse but inexpensive continental breakfast is offered daily and there's a simple lounge and a pretty nice courtyard terrace with sitting areas. Taxis to the airport can be pricey, so guests might actually save money, depending on the season, at a higher-pearl hotel that offers a free shuttle, like Salles Hotel Ciutat del Prat.

Scene
Clean, no-frills airport hotel
Hotel Blauet is a family-run property situated in a three-story building with a flat-white facade accented with blue tiling and a bright yellow doorway. The hotel doesn't pretend to be anything it's not. The interior is clean and simple: tiled floors, a few bright accents (like the mint-green kitchen area or bright yellow entry), and wood-laminate furniture. If guests gather anywhere, it's on the courtyard patio -- a pretty nice spot for a two-pearl property. But mostly this hotel is just a layover place for guests on the go. With straightforward single and double rooms, the hotel mainly draws budget-minded travelers or workers who want to be close to the airport.
Location
Outside of Barcelona, about a 10-minute drive from the airport
This hotel is located in a fairly residential area of El Prat de Llobregat about a 10-minute drive from Barcelona–El Prat Airport and 25-minutes by car from Barcelona's city center. A handful of restaurants line the block, with several more in the center of El Prat de Llobregat, about a 10-minute walk away. Guests note that taxi rides to the airport can be expensive due to minimum fare requirements, though guests who don't mind walking their luggage the five minutes to the bus can also get to the airport in under 15 minutes.
Rooms
Clean but extremely simple and small rooms with AC, TVs, and en-suite bathrooms
Guest rooms at Hotel Blauet vary a bit, but all tend to be extremely basic with tiled floors, wood-laminate furniture, and striped or floral bedding. White-tiled bathrooms are clean and contemporary and usually include a toilet, bidet, and shower situated in a small tub. Amenities are limited to televisions (usually small wall-mounted flat-screens) and seasonal heat and AC. There are no extras like toiletries, hairdryers, kettles, or mini-fridges, but towels, bedding, and toilet paper are included. Wi-Fi is free, though some guests complain service is spotty in some rooms.Most rooms are Singles and Doubles, though some Quad Rooms are available and some Doubles can fit an extra bed. Rooms are small -- Singles measure about 64 square feet, with Doubles twice that size. Five rooms are available for smokers.
Features
Nice courtyard sitting area and continental breakfast for extra fee, but few other features

There's also a kitchen nook with sitting space where a daily continental breakfast is offered. Choices are limited (coffee, OJ, packaged pastries, white bread), but the extra fee is pretty reasonable. There's also a small lounge area with a few armchairs, a couch, and a computer in the corner for guest use. The hotel has a coin-operated telephone and offers fax services or printing for an extra fee. Wi-Fi is free throughout. There's no laundry on-site.
