Hotels near Centro comercial Gran Vía 2, L'Hospitalet de Llobregat

Nice hotel Near to Metro Very friendly and good facilities!

Returned yesterday from a 4 night stay at this hotel. We stayed in a 'comfort double room' (as described on **********) and it was compact yet spacious enough for the two of us. The room was clean and well equipped; TV, large and very comfy bed, minifridge, safe, shampoo and shower gel, towels and a hairdryer (full sized not a little travel one.) There was also a small, modern style Juliette balcony. Having the air con on and complimentary water in our room on arrival was a welcomed touch. The staff were friendly and attentive. Can't say anything about the rooftop bar as it wasn't open during our stay, but the area itself was. The pool is shallow and narrow but you can swim in it, just one at a time if you want to do lengths! We didn't have breakfast so can't comment on that, but across the road is a cafe doing coffee and a croissant for €1.85. Some reviews have penalised the hotel for its location but that's hardly the fault of the hotel. It's full address and location are available when booking so we strongly recommend always looking up a hotel's location and links to the transport network (if required) BEFORE booking. It wasn't our first time to Barcelona and we know how great the metro system is so we walked about 7 mins to Torassa station each day. We got the metro from the airport to Torassa (line L9S ) which took around 25 mins, was direct, and around €5.50 each. You can also get a T casual ticket (formerly the T10) which allows you 10 journeys (train/metro/bus) for approx. €13. Totally understand why someone would want to stay more central, especially if on a short break or first time in the city, but just letting you know available options. Overall, a great hotel

This apartment block is nicely located by the metro being 5 minute walk away. It’s in a bit of a run down neighbourhood with limited options for dining out. There is a mall 5 minutes away which did have the usual chain eating establishments. We didn’t check out the shops as they were closed when we went there. Check in was easy, staff were friendly enough and our room was on the 2nd floor, overlooking a park and a police station. The apartment was a good size and the kitchen well equipped. The only bathroom was a let down. The shower head poured water from all directions and the seal on the bottom of the shower door was not fit for purpose as water poured everywhere and into the hallway no matter how much we tried to contain it. After 5 people showering a day I spent a lot of time mopping the floor! This has clearly been an issue for some time as the laminate floor had lifted and the bathroom door swollen so it couldn’t be closed. The noise from outside and other residents in the block made it difficult to sleep. Dogs from the police station constantly barked, which set neighbouring dogs off! Not that this was an issue with the hotel. But this combined with people in neighbouring apartments chatting laughing and dragging chairs around made it very noisy. There appears to be no quiet hours here and the smell of other guests smoking **** on the balcony at night was a little too much Kids loved the pool and it is open until 9pm. There is a lovely courtyard in the middle of the block which is quiet and a small cafe which we didn’t use. Check out was easy and we were offered luggage storage even though we didn’t need it. All in all some good points and if you want a decent sized apartment not far from the metro and don’t mind the outside noise then this ticks the boxes. If you are given room 207, ask for another apartment unless you are handy with the mop and bucket!
