ALSA Madrid Barcelona recent customer reviews
My experience was uncomfortable. There were cockroaches on the bus and my seat recliner was broken. Other than that, the lights were dimmed and it was overnight, but it just wasn’t pleasant. The WiFi also wasn’t functioning.

Bien. Sin embargo, la pantalla de la silla no se apago lo cual fue bastante molesto para viajar toda la noche. No podia dormir de lo que dependia para poder estar despierto para el dia siguiente.

Not a night bus, just normal bus at night time. No comfort at all, no legroom, staff unfriendly.
