Overview and Location
Antiga Travessera 2 is a student housing property located at 38, 08906 L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain. It sits just southwest of the city centre, near Camp Nou stadium. The immediate area has fast‑food outlets, a metro station and bus stops, according to resident feedback. The property offers non‑ensuite rooms and is described as a “branded independent house” in the listing. Facilities include laundry, bills included in the rent and an elevator.
Who This Residence Suits
This residence works best for students who prioritise proximity to Camp Nou or the southwestern side of Barcelona. If your classes, sports activities or daily routine are centred around the L’Hospitalet de Llobregat district, the location could save you commute time. The property is within walking distance of metro and bus connections, so getting to the stadium or nearby facilities is straightforward.
Residents who value cleanliness and basic comfort have reported positive experiences. One reviewer noted that rooms are “clean and the room is comfortable to sleep deeply”, and that the locker room “has door lock it was really safe”. Another described the hostel as “very clean and maintained”. If you are looking for a functional, well‑kept space where you can rest without noise issues, this may be a reasonable option.
Budget‑conscious students who do not need a private bathroom may also find the pricing attractive. The rent range is 520–660 EUR/month (indicative — confirm with the operator), which, while above Barcelona’s lowest available price of 250 EUR/month (for 189 listings in the city), is still below what many private studios or ensuite rooms cost. For shared accommodation with bills included, the price can be considered moderate.
Who Might Look Elsewhere
If you need to be in central Barcelona — near universities, main transport hubs or the historic core — this location may not be ideal. One resident wrote: “it is a bit far from the city center.” The property is in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, a suburb that requires a metro or bus ride of 20–30 minutes to reach Plaça Catalunya or neighbourhoods like Gràcia and Eixample. Students with early morning classes at universities in the city centre should factor in extra travel time.
Those who prefer ensuite bathrooms or more privacy will not find them here. The unit types are non‑ensuite and shared independent housing, meaning you will share bathroom and kitchen facilities. The property also appears to operate as a hostel‑style residence, so if you need a quieter, more isolated living environment, this may not be the best fit.
The same resident added that “for this price, you can find better options in Madrid” — a comparative note that does not affect Barcelona’s market, but suggests that the value proposition may depend on personal priorities. If you are willing to pay more for a central location or a private room, many other options in Barcelona exist.
What Residents Actually Say
Three Google reviews provide a direct picture of the experience.
Emre Ç. (rating 3) wrote: “The location is quite convenient if you are planning to visit Camp Nou, with fast food chains, a metro station, and bus stops all nearby. The downside is that it is a bit far from the city center. Honestly, for this price, you can find better options in Madrid. That said, it was not bad overall. The air conditioning ru” (the text cuts off, but the sentiment is clear: acceptable but not outstanding; proximity to Camp Nou is a plus; distance from centre is a drawback).
유니 (rating 4) stated: “Hola hostel is clean and the room is comfortable to sleep deeply. Their locker room has door lock it was really safe. Compare to their price, this accommodation is great :)” This reviewer highlights cleanliness, comfort and security, and considers it good value for the price.
Deanna Hauser (rating 5) said: “Can’t beat location or price for Barcelona. Very clean and maintained hostel. Staff very pleasant. Super shout to Eamon who was very helpful, professional and joy to speak with.” This glowing review emphasises the same strengths: cleanliness, pleasant staff and perceived value.
Overall, the Google rating stands at 3.8 from 232 reviews. The verbatim feedback confirms that residents consistently appreciate cleanliness, safety and staff friendliness, while the main criticism is the distance from central Barcelona.
Price Positioning
The rent at Antiga Travessera 2 ranges from 520 EUR to 660 EUR monthly (indicative — confirm with the operator). For context, across the 189 student housing listings in Barcelona, the lowest advertised price is 250 EUR/month. This property thus sits above the entry‑level segment. However, its price includes bills (electricity, water, internet), laundry facilities and an elevator, which can add 50–100 EUR/month to a cheaper rent. Additionally, the minimum lease is 4 months, offering flexibility for shorter stays or exchange semesters.
When compared to other non‑ensuite rooms in Barcelona, 520–660 EUR is typical for a decent shared accommodation with utilities included. The property does not charge a deposit (deposit: null in the data), which is a financial benefit for students moving with limited upfront cash.
Room Types and Booking Guidance
The listing describes two unit types: non‑ensuite (a room in a shared apartment or dormitory) and “branded independent house”. The “branded independent house” likely means a professionally managed property (possibly under the Hola Hostel brand, as suggested by one review) with standardised amenities. You will typically share bathroom, kitchen and living spaces with other residents.
Booking timing: Since the minimum lease is 4 months and the property is popular enough to have 232 reviews, availability can fluctuate. It is advisable to start inquiries at least 2–3 months before your intended move‑in date, especially for a 4‑month short stay. Given that Barcelona has 189 student housing options, you may also want to compare several properties before committing.
