Scene
Caters to business travelers outside of the city center
Considering its location, this hotel caters mainly to people in transit or on business. There are several meeting rooms and a small fitness center, but families can occasionally be found splashing around the pool. The hotel also attracts budget leisure travelers who are willing to forgo a convenient location for low rates.
Location
A few miles from El Prat airport and outside the city center.
Salles Hotel Ciutat del Prat often attracts guests awaiting a flight or headed on a cruise, and as such the location outside the center of Barcelona is not necessarily a negative. Instead, the quick shuttle ride to the airport makes the location perfect for a business or leisure traveler who wants to sleep until the last possible moment. The Prat de Llobregat area in which the hotel is located is the home of many businesses, and there are several bars and restaurants in the area. For those who want to visit popular Barcelona sights, the city center is about 15 minutes away.
Rooms
130 clean, air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen TVs
Rooms at the Salles Hotel Ciutat del Prat, while not exciting when it comes to decor, are perfectly clean and comfortable. They air on the smaller side, but the flat-screen TVs, air conditioning, minibars stocked with free drinks and free Wi-fi are hits with guests. Bathrooms come with hair dryers, bidets, and basic assortments of bath products. Room service is available.
Features
The hotel offers a free airport shuttle, plus an indoor pool.
With a location close to the airport and many guests spending the night before a flight, it makes sense for the hotel to offer a free shuttle to transport guests back and forth, which the Salles Hotel Ciutat del Prat does. The hotel also offers a sauna, indoor pool, and free Wi-Fi throughout the property. There's a buffet breakfast (for an additional charge) and an on-site restaurant, Sinfonía, serving Mediterranean cuisine. There's also room service available. The hotel also has a fitness center, but it's tiny.
