We stayed here for 3 nights last week, and it was as we expected considering what we paid. Very comfortable bed and very clean. Only a small desk provided and only a very small space in headboard to place a clock/watch. English channels on TV. I asked at reception for a kettle when we arrived, not sure why tea/coffee facilities aren't provided without asking as it would be here in the UK at Travelodges. I kept a small plastic bag topped up with ice from the bar and this kept the milk, which we brought from a shop, fresh all the time. I also took 2 china cups from the breakfast area as paper cups were only provided. No glass allowed in rooms, I'm guessing there has been issues with broken glasses too many times?
We asked for a quiet room and the room was at the back of the hotel away from the road and at the end of the corridor away from the lifts.
Breakfast was adequate, no thrills but good value. We booked breakfast at time of booking, you can pay for it each day but payment has to be made before you go in. Nothing can be added to the room.
We paid for the WiFi in our room, don't really understand why this isn't included in room rate as its a given to have WiFi nowadays.
Staff were very friendly and spoke good English, very helpful with local maps and information.
Store room available for luggage if needed on day of departure, very secure.
The area-the metro station is a 5minute walk. Do watch out for pickpockets, my purse was very nearly taken from my handbag as I was putting my ticket in the barrier at Llucana station (nearest one to the hotel) the chap was hanging around the machine where tickets are purchased and saw me get my purse out of my bag. I heard the zip being opened and managed to turn around and stopped him. A good reminder to be very careful of belongings.
10euros will buy 10 journeys-T10 I think it was called.
Poblenou has its own Rambla with lots of shops/restaurants. 10 minute walk to the beach and a nice walk all the way along the front into the centre which took about an hour.
There is a new hotel being built next to the Travelodge so development is ongoing in the area.
So it does what it says on the tin, our expectations were met and we were pleased with our stay
