Rare little britain Posted March 10, 2007 #2 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Mixed reviews of the hotel here http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g187497-d602764-Reviews-Renaissance_Barcelona_Airport_Hotel-Barcelona_Catalonia.html If you do a search on this board for 'Barcelona port' you will find lots of previous posts asking for transfer suggestions. The taxis are plentiful and only cost €25-€30 which works out a lot cheaper than a private transfer - it only takes 25-30 minutes. €25 = $32.80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne8100 Posted March 10, 2007 #3 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Just ask the hotel concierge or bellstand to call you a taxi if there are no others there. Charge should be 20 to 25 euros to the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatfish Posted March 10, 2007 #4 Share Posted March 10, 2007 5 people with luggage will not fit into a Barcelona cab....There are some small mini vans but you will probably need 2 of them......Far will be around 30e per cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseluv Posted March 10, 2007 #5 Share Posted March 10, 2007 We used Barcelona Taxi. Very reliable. I am just curious.... Why would you stay in an airport hotel? The port is in the city and the airport is less than 20 mins from the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelintra Posted March 10, 2007 #6 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Staying at the same hotel, because we are using our marriott points. As a restult 3 nights = $40. can't beat that in Europe or US;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monterey Girl Posted March 12, 2007 #7 Share Posted March 12, 2007 We have reserved Aurelio with Barcelona Taxi Van for Oct 2007. He was highly recommended by several posters. You can email for info at : info@barcelonataxivan.com. I sent in the date, # of passengers and luggage. They sent back a quote. I have also seen recommendations for Angie's taxi. Info at : 33@yahoo.com. They both require payment in Euros, CASH. No credit cards. Hope this helps, MG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longislandfamily Posted March 13, 2007 #9 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Thank you so.......much MG. It really does help. Patricia PurtyPat1, we used Angie's taxi, as recommended. They definitely have a van, because we were 8 going to two hotels. They provided a van and a taxi to accommodate us, and they were terrific.

Longtime Cruiser Posted March 13, 2007 #10 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I just had a little annoying experience with Angie's Taxi. I emailed here for a request for pick up at the hotel on a Sunday to the port and the following Sunday for pick up at the port to the airport. Needless to say, I gave her dates and ship. I had to email twice for a confirmation--finally got back a confirmation, that was so wrong, a pick up of 4 adults on Saturday, July 1 (actually a Sunday) and pick up 2 adults on Thursday, July 8th (actually a Sunday). Now I am concerned about booking her. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
