The station is served by line L1.

The station can be accessed from entrances on all three streets. It has twin tracks, flanked by two 88-metre (289 ft) long and 4-metre (13 ft) wide side platforms.Hostafrancs is on the original section of line L1 (then the Ferrocarril Metropolitano Transversal de Barcelona) between Catalunya and Bordeta stations, which was opened in 1926.
