Barcelona hotels near the train station

[metsfan47]

We will be flying to Barcelona, spending one night in a hotel, and then taking the train to Girona.

Can anyone recommend a good hotel that is not far from the train station?

Thanks.

Even better, there is one on top of Santa station. Very decent property.

There are 2 or 3 stations

Barcelona Sants, Estacion de Francia and Passieg de Gracia.

 

Worth checking

After checking the train schedules, I see that it is Barcelona Sants that I need.

You can take direct Renfe train from T2 airport terminal to Sants. They go quite often, at least 2 per hour. From 5am to 11:30pm.

Excellent advice about the train from the airport. 

Which hotel should I stay in near the station?

See my post above. Barcelo Sants. It's literally above the station

Ahh, I thought that was the station name.  Sorry for the miscommunication.

That hotel does look great.

Thanks so much.

Sants is the name of the neighborhood so you'll find several businesses/locations with Sants in the name.  Here is the Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sants

 

We had an extended stay at The Bicycle Apartments in Sants this summer though you're probably better off with the Barcelo Sants for one night.  It was about a 15 minute walk for us from our apartment to the Sants train station.

 

A random fact is that MaTeS shoes are made in Sants, you'd never even know the store or the factory workshop were there unless you were looking.  I'd never heard of them but found them as part of our exploration, the company has a great story, it's still owned by the founder's daughter.

Thanks for the explanation.

We did this a few years back, and stayed at the Europark in Eixample.  I can't remember which station it was, presumably Sants.  I do remember that we walked to the metro and on to the train station, with no problem. 

 

It was a nice time.  We spent the night in Girona and then went on the next day for a day trip to Figueras to see the Gaudi Museo.
