We take the Supra bus to Barcelona in the midnight. There are some suggestions for ALSA. 1.The driver give the introduction or guideline not only by Spanish but English. 2.I know driving in the night is tired, but the driver should wear the earphone when listening the music, avoid annoying the sleep of passengers. Sincerely, Spencer
This time the bus wasn’t as comfortable as the first, the leg space was way less, there was no electric plug the Wifi didn’t work. It wasn’t an Alsa bus it was a bad quality one
The bus restroom did not work so it was a nightmare for all of us passengers.. the driver did not let us know until the bus was already in transit.. the bus had to do several stops because of that and there were some very angry customers some almost got into a fight.. bad words were used on confrontations with no respect for families with kids like me
Really good service. Timely and comfortable and very nice staff.
Bus is comfortable, everything is ok with the trip, though due to some reasons it skipped Barcelona Sants (I have ticket to the Sants) and arrived at Barcelona Nord.
Good company, staff wasn't very polite to some of the passengers, and the screens didn't show movies in English
Wifi- internet was not working Request to make announcements in the bus in English too- please.
Facility was good. Bus condition was nice. Staff was friendly.
Smooth ride, they even gave us water and an inflatable neck pillow to sleep which is exactly what I did on my overnight bus. The toilet wasn't in great condition, that's my only complaint.
The bus was in poor shape. The window creaked so loudly that I couldn’t sleep for 7 hours overnight. The driver didn’t attempt to fix it or even care when I asked.
All good but I was still asked to download the boarding pass at the last minute which was only possible after my sons IPhone was used. I showed 4 reference numbers on my phone to bus staff member but was asked to download the boarding passes. The booking system clearly says digital or printed pass was "optional". A little panic but the journey and service was first class. Many thanks.
Really reliable and comfortable bus service with free WiFi and entertainment services.
Overall good but would suggest that driver or at least recording/screen giving information at stops etc in English

Much more than a mere vehicle taking you from Madrid to Barcelona, riding the bus will expose you to some of the most stunning panoramas while enroute to your final bus stop.
Buses are energy-efficient. Carrying a passenger over 100 kms by coach only takes 0.6-0.9 liters of gas. Compare that to the 2.6 liters required by high-speed train, 6.6 liters by airplane and 7.6 liters by gas-powered car, and it's clear that the bus is a more environmentally-conscious option for your bus transportation from Madrid to Barcelona.
Make a music playlist for your bus ride from Madrid to Barcelona, and enjoy the scenery to tunes from your own personal soundtrack.
