I wasn’t pressed for time, but the bus was really late, although not necessarily the fault of the bus, could have been traffic problems.

Great bus very comfortable only bad point was at Barcelona bus station where we were confronted by a scruffy man who pushed his way into the lift and managed to get into Sheryls handbag and take the wallet out, he was about 5ft around 40 with a beard and made out he was helping us with the suitcase

The driver was indifferent to passengers. We were not informed by the driver about the length of stop in the middle of the route but from another passenger. The cautiousness on the road was limited and the driving didn’t feel safe.

Very happy with bus line check in easy. Bus loading easy. Driver spoke Spanish which I did not understand. So not sure what his message was. We arrived safely in Barcelona after a very pleasant drive. Easy waiting area for a taxi

The only negative was that the bus was absolutely freezing, but that’s common with coach buses so I should have packed a sweater

Fantastic service! I loved that seats were pre assigned, the TVs with movies and tv shows were genius! This was my first time on ALSA and I’ve got a few more trips booked with ALSA over the next month. I’ve ridden with other brands like OuiBus and Flixbus and ALSA blew them out of the water. I will always make ALSA my first choice.

Overall the trip was very good a little late going and had to change over to a different bus as the driver of the first bus wanted to split me up from my children. As soon as we where all on the 2nd bus anything was good

Great experience, super easy. The bus was about 39 minutes late for departure, but we expected it (it’s Spain). My seat was broken and wouldn’t recline, unfortunate for a nighttime ride, but overall we had no issues.

The trip was good overall. However, the chairs were to close to the one in front and after the passenger in front of me pushed her chair back I didn’t have space at all.:strip_icc():format(jpeg)/kly-media-production/medias/3445191/original/001715500_1619861653-La_Liga_-_Valencia_Vs_Barcelona.jpg)

During waiting time prior to embarkation, may be it would be good to have someone, apart form the driver, to attend to the passengers. Otherwise, everything was fine. The trip was smooth, the bus comfortable and the times of departure and arrival were respected.
