Travelodge L'Hospitalet

I am just back from barcelona and would recommend this hotel to anyone either if you are going there on business or pleasure. As for directions to the hotel none i found where of any great help as we searched the industrial estate where the travelodge is located for what seemed for hours and hours in a temperature not seen in the uk in February (20C). So here it is, make your way to Placa Espanya on the metro from there change on to the L8 line, when you go down there are 4 trains just grab the next one leaving as they will get u to... more

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Barcelona. This Travelodge is some way out of the city, but with a travel card, we cheaply went by bus to Espana metro station, and from there used the metro. The buses (number 72) from the hotel are fairly frequent, and you can change on the Pg Zona Franca to one of many and frequent buses that go to Espana (9, 37, 109). Metro services are very frequent, so getting around Barcelona is easy. Travel back and forth to the hotel is time-consuming, so starting each day knowing that you won't... more

We've stayed in Travelodge hotels both here in Ireland and in England before so we knew what to expect. To paraphrase another advertisement, Travelodge does what it says on the tin. It was clean, the room was fine, the staff were helpful and they even had CNN on the TV. (We NEVER watch CNN at home but, hey, it's in English - or American, anyway.) It was also extremely good value - €35 a night. Having read another review - obviously by someone younger and fitter than ourselves - we set out from Barcelona Airport by train.... more

When I return to Barcelona I will use the Travelodge again. I have just returned from a week’s stay and I was very satisfied with the accommodation. It cost €120 for the week for both my daughter and I. The hotel was very clean and the room (418) was spacious enough for two of us. The decor of the room is the same as any other Travelodge, except this one has wooden floor. The room has air conditioning, TV, kettle, bath towels and an extremely powerful shower with bath. The breakfast is €7.50 per adult and free for under 16’s... more

Newly built hotel across the road from exhibition centre. Clean, excellent rooms with quiet air-conditioning. (Do keep your windows shut or you will be bitten and the aircon will not work properly) From EUR 35 per room. No local amenities apart from the next door petrol station and a restaurant 500m away. The nearest shops are about a kilometre away. There are major roadworks in the area due to the construction of a new metro line. The 72 bus halts nearby and with this you can interchange to other buses to Plaza d'Espanya etc. (or one... more

This hotel is a little away from the centre and there is a 15min walk to get to the train station but it was great value for money. Myself, my husband and our 2 teenage children were £24.50 a night for a basic but comfortable room. As our flights cost just over £100 each we had a 7 day, 6 night holiday for £550. Excellent. There is a lot of construction going on in the area and no view to talk about but Gran Via 2 which you pass on route to the train station is ideal for shopping and has several resturants. It also has a super... more

A group of eight of us stayed at the Travelodge L'Hospitalet for three nights during April 2007, and had a good value for money experience. We found the hotel to be excellently located for Palau Sant Jordi, which is an impressive concert venue. Although it is over an hours walk to Le Rambla from the hotel, it is a very pleasant stroll through the Olympic park, or only 10 euros by taxi. The staff could be more cheerful, but they were exceptionally helpful when approached for information. It appears that they have taken previous review... more

Warning taxis rip you off.. they charged us 20euros from bus station. Hotel was in a bad area would not advise it for girls traveling along or families with small children. The staff where not very helpful with directions to barcelona and a map showing where the hotel is would have been a great help. There was no atmosphere what so ever.. no music in bar and no cork screw to open the only bottle of wine in the building. In spain no cork screws.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The room was clean I will give them that, but no hair dryer... more

If your looking for a hotel that offers good rooms, security, sheets and a breakfast at a very competitive rate, this hotel will suit you fine. What you had better have, though, is either your own car or money to pay for taxi trips. It's stuck in the middle of a bizzarely designed industrial/commercial area. One day the acres around l'hospitalette will look splendid- but meanwhile you will have to [if walking] negociate pothole-ridden pavements to the metro station. However for Barcelona the prices can't be beaten and i recommend... more

We stayed at the Travelodge Barcelona in July 2006. The hotel was clean, and our room cost 60Euro for 4 of us.Bathroom was clean with bath and shower.Staff were welcoming and friendly-reception staff spoke English.Undercover car parking was free.Downside was the location of the hotel with regard to public transport - 20+minute walk to closest metro station, but I would be happy to recommend the hotel to anyone wishing to visit Barcelona and not wanting to spend a fortune on accommodation!
