Guest Reviews
Location
Travelers appreciate the short distance to the Renfe and high-speed AVE train stations, enhancing its desirability for those continuing their journey or using the hotel as a stopover. The nearby highway facilitates effortless road transit, perfect for travelers heading further into Spain or towards France. Despite being slightly removed from the immediate hustle and bustle of downtown, the hotel’s location in a quiet neighborhood offers a tranquil retreat without sacrificing convenience.
Parking is both ample and secure, further highlighting the hotel’s practicality, especially for guests traveling by car. The idyllic combination of central yet quiet setting, coupled with easy walking access to Figueres' main attractions, makes Hotel Checkin Travé a well-regarded choice for both short stays and extended visits.
Breakfast
Some guests mentioned a pleasant and extensive breakfast with a selection that included Spanish, American, continental and vegetarian dishes. Despite a few comments on insufficient quality and limited options, others found the breakfast quite good or decent enough to start the day. The friendly, responsive staff also received praise for their attentive service during breakfast.
However, there were criticisms about the lack of fresh bread, eggs and juice with some diners finding the selection sparse and repetitive. Issues were noted concerning the buffet's organization with reports of long waits and inconsistent availability of certain items. Some reviewers missed the previous unlimited buffet format and felt that the current menu service did not measure up.
In summary, breakfast at Hotel Checkin Travé has received mixed reviews but shines with its variety and staff engagement. While there is room for improvement, many guests found the meal sufficient and satisfying, especially considering its inclusion in the room rate.
Dinner
The restaurant is praised for its traditional Spanish and Catalan cuisine with some reviews even describing the food as 'superb' and 'excellent'. A few guests mentioned specific dishes and experiences that stood out, such as a hearty and tasty dinner, a delicious menu and a professionally run establishment. The possibility of enjoying a meal on the premises with the convenience of an internal restaurant, was also noted as a plus, especially considering the value for money.
However, not all reviews are glowing. Several guests expressed disappointment with various aspects of the dining experience. Complaints primarily focused on the limited variety of the menu, the occasional serving of cold or tough food and the perception of cafeteria-style meals. There were mentions of mediocre and even abominable quality for some dinners with specific grievances about pre-made and microwaved dishes and inconsistent food temperatures. Additionally, the restaurant closes on Sunday evenings, which caught some guests by surprise, especially those who had chosen the half-board option.
In summary, while Hotel Checkin Travé's restaurant has impressed many with its delicious offerings and good service, it has also faced criticism for limited choices and occasional lapses in food quality. Guests seeking a convenient and reasonably priced dining option may find it satisfactory, but those with higher expectations or seeking variety may experience some letdowns.
Rooms
However, the hotel's interior does show its age. Multiple reviews highlight that rooms are outdated with some decor dating back to the 1980s. Several rooms require renovation and specific complaints about old and worn-out bathrooms, musty smells and broken furniture were noted. Issues such as poorly maintained facilities, limited soundproofing and basic or unimpressive room decor indicate a need for significant updates.
Cleanliness is generally praised, yet some guests reported arriving to rooms that had not been cleaned properly. Despite the throwbacks to older styles and occasional maintenance problems, the rooms are functional for stays, especially for those stopping over for a night or seeking budget accommodation.
In summary, Hotel Checkin Travé's rooms are a mix of space and simplicity with effective utilities that work well for short visits. However, the dated and sometimes poorly maintained interiors suggest that a facelift could significantly enhance the guest experience.
Beds
However, not all guests were satisfied with the sleeping arrangements. Numerous reviews pointed out issues with bed comfort, including terms like uncomfortable beds, hard beds and beds that make a lot of noise. Detractors highlighted problems with mattresses, describing them as rock hard, too soft or even worn out. Complaints also included beds that creaked terribly and those that were not clean with some guests remarking that the bedding was in a pitiful state or smelled musty.
In summary, while many guests have found the beds at Hotel Checkin Travé to be quite comfortable and adequate, a significant number also reported issues with bed quality, ranging from hardness and noise to cleanliness and outdated mattresses. It appears that bed comfort at this hotel may vary significantly from room to room.
Cleanliness
However, criticisms highlight several problem areas. Some rooms were deemed unclean, dated and suffering from poor maintenance—issues such as dirty sheets, smelly hallways, moldy bathtubs and stained walls. Reports of musty smells, ants, dust and even creatures running around were noted. The cleanliness in specific high-traffic areas like bathrooms and hallways sometimes fell short with mold, rust and unpleasant odors cited.
While the staff's efforts in maintaining a clean environment are frequently praised, it is clear that certain areas require a fresh touch and more thorough cleaning routines. The mix of positive remarks about general cleanliness and detailed complaints suggests that while the hotel does achieve good standards often, there might be inconsistencies that need addressing to ensure all guests enjoy a spotless experience.

A few guests even described the wifi as nonexistent or very weak in their rooms, indicating inconsistencies in the service.
Overall, while many guests found the wifi service adequate and beneficial, others experienced significant issues that detracted from their stay.

Overall, Hotel Checkin Travé stands out for its dedication to providing a family-centric environment, ensuring a pleasant and convenient experience for families on the go.
3 Star
Guest reviews highlight that the rooms are spacious and the cleanliness is satisfactory. However, several issues detract from the overall experience. Many point out that the hotel falls short of typical three-star standards. Specific complaints include non-functioning air conditioning and wifi, a leaky toilet, moldy and chipped bathroom fixtures and an inadequate breakfast.
Service at the hotel also appears inconsistent with late check-ins and inattentive staff noted by several guests. Given these drawbacks, some users feel the hotel is overpriced and suggest it might be better categorized as a two-star property. While it may not be highly recommended for those expecting typical three-star amenities, it remains a viable, budget-friendly option for visitors prioritizing location and basic comfort.
Dog Friendly
The hotel's pet policy allows dogs and cats with some guests mentioning reasonable fees for multiple pets, although others noted higher charges and suggested this could be an area for improvement. Nonetheless, the overall experience remains positive with pets being allowed in many areas of the hotel, including the restaurant.
Travelers appreciate the hassle-free environment for staying with pets, ensuring that dogs can be comfortable and well-accommodated. Whether traveling solo or with a small dog, the hotel provides a welcoming space that values its guests' four-legged companions, making it an ideal stop for pet owners journeying through Spain.
