2-Star Hotels in Badalona

We chose this hotel based on price and local transport accessibility. The hotel is located in 2 adjacent building. The main (older) building is ok but the one in the back of the cafeteria has newer accomodation and a/c and heating provided by individual units which is excellent compared to the older building that has a central system that changes from summer to winter. With climate change and 30°C in november, we are able to use a/c in the new part of the hotel. The hotel has a terrasse with table and chairs just between the cafeteria and the newer building. The room are standard size with one double or 2 single beds. The bathroom is small but well set. Spain being a very noisy country, I was surprised to hear very little noise from the inside and outside of the hotel. Well insulated windows. Some rooms have 4 beds. Metro Artigues (line 2) is 7 minutes away and a bus can take you about 150 mtrs from the subway just by taking an M26 or a B14 bus across the street from the hotel. There is hotel cafeteria but just behind there are a very good choice of restaurants on Avinguda de Catalunya. We are still here until Nov 4th when we will board a ship. The employees are all nice but being understood in English can be a challenge if you dont speak Spanish. A special thank you to Alan at reception who is always there to help. Nevertheless they do their best to accomodate your requests. Also, 2 laundromats at less than 5 minutes walking from the hotel. All in all it is an excellent value with a lot of services in the hotel or nearby. We will certainly be back.

The hotel is quite far from Barcelona, but there is a metro within a 10-minute walk, which takes you directly to the center. Near the hotel in 5-7 minutes there are many different restaurants, as well as a large grocery store. I did not like that the adjacent area was not cleaned, but the rooms themselves are comfortable. Also the price of the rooms is low. On the roof there is a chic veranda. It was very hot in the hotel itself because of the decision of the European Commission to save gas. It is advisable to leave the common area as soon as possible. Also, be careful with the elevator, it can suddenly close and not respond to obstacles in the form of a leg, trying to push it to the end.
