Best and cheapest way from Barcelona airport to my hotel

I am flying to Barcelona Spain on Friday 3/12 and wanted to know the best way to get from the airport to my hotel - Barcelo Atenea Mar, Paseo De Gracia Faria, 37-47, Barcelona 08019. If the Aerobus is the best way what stop would we get off and how far would it be from the Hotel?

Take a taxi. Should cost about Euro 30. The Aerobus goes to Placa Catalunya and you are far from that, so you'll need a taxi the rest of the way.

If you're really cheap you could take the Metro to the Poble Nou station and walk the last 6-7 blocks.

All that hassle would save a little if you are traveling alone and almost nothing if you are two or more.

You're in a good spot if you like the beach - we've stayed in an apartment about two blocks away.

The Aerobus is definitely NOT the best or the cheapest way. It only goes as far as Placa Catalunya.

The cheapest way would be buying a T-10 ticket and use it to take the train/subway combo. From the airport, you take the RENFE train to Passeig de Gracia, then change for the L4 line of the subway to PobleNou station.

Pls note that this will be the cheapest (costs one ride out of the T-10 ticket; therefore €0,785); but definitely NOT the "best" as it'll easily take 90-120 minutes for this journey.
