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.

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.
Ellen, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Jenny, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This a very good hotel. Rooms are quite small perhaps because it is located in a historic zone, mostly pedestrian. For the same reason it is overpriced comparing other same category hotels. Breakfast is very good. The only problem we had in the six days we stayed was the lock of the room that needed several attemps to recognize out card keys each time we tried to enter the room, although we had to remagnetize these cards sometimes.
RAUL, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff (front desk, dining, cleaning) were so kind and accommodating from check-in to check-out. The room was very nice (shower, bidet, fridge, AC), the gym/pool was good (I didn’t use the pool but it looked relaxing and the gym had enough for my workout), breakfast was delicious, and the hotel is close to the metro and the bus as well as multiple walking destinations. Since there are minimal cars in the area it is also a very quiet area that I felt safe enough to walk around at night. I would go back and recommend to others! :)
Benjamin Joseph, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Staff was not friendly, whole floor smelled like smoke even though it was supposed to be non-smoking. No noise proofing so lots of noise from other guests. Air conditioning did not work well.

Clean, well maintained property with capable and coordinated customer service staff, both at the front desk and at the bar. Air conditioning that can get reasonably cold (~22c) in the hot weather although it doesn't easily cool further below that
