5 min walk from metro and Arc de Triomf on a walkable street. Great location. The staff were very friendly - let us check in ahead of time and we were able to store our luggage until our evening departure. Rooms clean and nicely appointed (we were on 1st floor, I heard they are redoing rooms on upper floors). Did not try breakfast - not much of a morning person. You can get espresso at the bar. Overall a very good experience.
Catalonia Born is clean, comfortable, has a very good breakfast, and the staff is exceptional.
It's location is easy walking distance to dinning and shopping. And Passeig de Lluís Companys (park) is directly next door for exercise and relaxing.
The hotel is located in El Born neighborhood, which is a medieval area adjacent to the ancient Roman Gothic Quarter Barcelona.
Overall, Catalonia Born is very a enjoyable stay and gave us all we needed for a great experience in Barcelona.
The hotel was very clean with welcoming staff. The shower had great water pressure and the WiFi was fast. It is a cozy place in the city and within walking distance to most attractions. What we really appreciated was the bathroom having a proper door instead of a glass one which made the stay much more comfortable.
The location is good, the beds are good and the service is friendly and helpful. The rooms are small but considering the pricing and location, that’s only to be expected.
Catalonia Born was in the heart of El Born neighborhood. Walking distance to everything and lots of options for restaurants. The pool in the afternoons was a fantastic place to refresh and relax during the hot weather.
This is our second stay at this hotel. The hotel breakfast was superb, the location is in an older part of town, with multiple eating venues with 1- 300 hundred feet. It is within walking distance to
Las Ramblas.
My daughter and I had a lovely stay here. The staff were excellent and the location was perfect for us. We walked everywhere and would often just get out and wander to see what we happened upon and we always found something amazing. We throughly enjoyed the pool and sangria in the courtyard. The beds were comfortable and bathroom a great size. Would definitely stay again!
We had a pleasant stay at this hotel. Staff were helpful and room was quiet and comfortable. It gave us what we needed when traveling and we would stay there again when we are back in Barcelona.
