spent one night while driving to Spain from Holland nightmare could not sleep room 303 traffic noise horrendous room back,s on to motorway don't use this hotel if you are tired checked out at 5am never again

We were travelling by car to Barcelona where I have always had trouble with crime so decided to stay and park outside town. This hotel was okay for what it was - a motorway stop on the outskirts. The nearest train station was a bit too far to walk to so we ended up parking in a dark station car park to catch the train - not the real intention. The hotel was modern and well equipped with an average restaurant.

The Hotel itself was more than adequate for a couple of nights. The main problem is its distance from the centre. There is a good train line which takes you in to the centre in about 25-30 minutes. However its getting to the train station which is the problem - you have no choice but to get a taxi which costs approx 12-18 euros each way. This obviously needs to be factored into the cost of the trip as two + journeys each day can add up.
Overall if you want somewhere quiet that is pleasant then this could be your hotel - if you would rather spend more of your time near the centre then perhaps look elsewhere.

Hello All,
I´ve found an excellend motorway hotel chain
in Spain. It´s called Ashoteles. BEST value for money
you can get. FREE parking for your car, individual garage,Air con, Wireless Internet connection, exterior playground for kids, HUGE breakfast, very close to Barcelona city cenntre. Only 15 min by car.
We´ve been there last summer and we explored the city
with no need to use the car at all. we left it parked at the hotel and used the shuttle bus of the hotel to go to city.
I highly recommend this option. Great rates all year round!
