Travelodge Madrid Alcalá de Henares
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you want a well-reviewed, tidy room at a fair price, especially if you arrive by train or car. If you want to step out of the door into the historic centre, the Budget pick is better placed.

This is our Best Value pick in Alcalá de Henares. It suits drivers, people passing through, and anyone who values a reliable room over a historic setting. Guests say it is close to the train station, to highway access and to local restaurants. Family rooms are listed, so it can also work for small families, though room sizes have not been checked.
Skip it if your main plan is wandering the old town every evening. The walk is long enough that you may end up taking a taxi or public transport at night.
Location and getting around
The hotel is at Fausto Elhúyar, 3, with a location score of 8.6 out of 10. Alcalá de Henares Cathedral and the Archiepiscopal Palace are both about 2.1 km away, roughly 26 minutes on foot. The Palace of Laredo is about 2.7 km, around 34 minutes. That last one is far: plan on public transport or a taxi if you do not want a long walk. All times are straight-line estimates, so real routes can take longer.
Guests point to quick highway access, which helps if you are driving. Parking is not in the listed facilities, and guests mention parking fees, so confirm the cost before you arrive.
What guests say
With 3,232 reviews and a score of 8.5 out of 10, this has the largest review base of our three picks, and its score ranked joint third among the 9 hotels we compared. Guests like the location for travel, near the station and the road network, and describe the rooms and bathrooms as tidy and well maintained.
The criticism is about extras. Room rates are seen as reasonable, but breakfast and parking fees are considered high. If you plan to eat breakfast at the hotel every day and park there, add those costs before comparing prices.
Price and how it compares with our other picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults was €93.49 per night, about €187 in total. That was 10% below the sample median of €104.03. This is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
Hotel Cuatro Caños, our Budget pick, was €69 per night with a score of 8.1, 2 stars and a much more central address. AC Hotel Alcalá de Henares by Marriott, our Luxury pick, was €157.30 with a score of 8.8, 4 stars and a gym. The Travelodge sits in the middle on price and score. You get a restaurant, a terrace and a broad breakfast offer (continental, vegetarian, gluten-free, American and buffet are listed), but you pay for breakfast and parking separately according to guests.
Why it made our top 3
Our Best Value choice balances guest score, number of reviews and reference price. It is not necessarily the cheapest hotel. Out of 9 eligible hotels, this one combined a score of 8.5, over 3,000 reviews and a price below the median. That is a well-tested option for a sensible price.
Before you book
