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.

Very nice stay at the Catalonia Born!

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.

Clean, well located and comfortable

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 beds were comfortable and bathroom a great size. Would definitely stay again!
