The bus was clean and comfortable, with a kind driver who assisted passengers in finding their stops. However, some users reported the absence of toilet facilities on board and unclear instructions from the driver regarding locations during the journey.

Plana Barcelona Salou recent customer reviews

As a disabled passenger who used plana's service for the 1st time I can only say that I was really satisfied with the way the driver was dealing with checking me in and my 8 years old son especially that I missed my actual coach at 17.40 due to a flight delay and I was worried that i wont be admitted in the next one but the i have been given a top service from the driver. The only thing that I can complain about is that I couldn't find any socket to charge my phone but overall I'm satisfied with the service .

Can't say it was much good tbh. 2 hour journey with no toilet facilities on board. Driver didn't know where our hotel was so had to get dropped off at another hotel and then get a taxi to our hotel. No clear instructions from the driver where we actually were at any one point. Thank god I had purchased additional data for my phone to look on Google maps. Pretty disappointing. Also signs at airport unclear.
