Only one electricity outlet (and even that was not close to the bed!, and it only worked with European plugs, i.e., not useful for North Americans). the staff were not warm and welcoming (they weren't rude or anything; but I had expected a more chatty staff who would ask us about our day or talk to us about things happening). The room was very dark, the window was very small and it looked over no where! overall, NOT at all what we expected for the cost we were paying.

I highly recommend this hotel. It is very clean. The breakfast they offer is varied and excellent. The hotel looks simple from the outside, but it's really pretty and intimate. Courteous staff. The location is perfect, between 10 and 15 minutes walk from several place to visit. Several excellent restaurants opposite and right next door, not to be missed. I will return to Barcelona and to this hotel! It was a beautiful week at this place. Thanks to all. Sophie Panneton

A suite life.
Hotel was in a great location near El Born district. Staff, were very obliging and made sure our stay was wonderful. The most comfortable beds and fluffy towels I have had in a hotel in a long time. Conveniently located and easy to go to & from when heading to the airport. When visiting Barcelona, I'd definitely stay again

We were very disappointed with Catalonia Born hotel. We were given a room that smell like sewer and they were well aware of this kind of issues with some rooms in the hotel and the receptionist confirmed it. She said “The hotel is old and some rooms have that issue”. However, there was nothing she could do that night. We had to wait until next day when guests check out in the morning and they can assign us another room. Needless to say we had a horrible night and couldn’t sleep well. Next day, no apologies from management, not even offering free breakfast as compensation for the unsuitable room they put us in and the inconvenience we went through all night. Thank God, there was an available room without that issue. This is,Truly, unacceptable, specially, when we had paid a high tag price. The area where the hotel is located, Born, is very unsafe. We were assaulted and robbed on the third night we were there, just a block away from the hotel at 6:30 pm. We spent 3 days of hell reporting the assault, going to the district police and even to Court, as we caught the robber. However, the medallion was passed to another member of the gang and hasn’t been found. The hotel staff is aware of these robberies and should’ve alerted us to be careful in the neighborhood as this an everyday pattern. The robbers have tourists as targets, specifically, those staying at nearby hotels. You can see homeless people sleeping on the lateral streets and the refugees watching you like hawks. Be awar

Great experience
This is a great centralized location. The room is acquaint decent size not massive, but not small and the staff was extremely friendly… The main reason why I picked this hotel was because it is at a great centralized location to access the Gothic area and probably about a 20 minute walk to the club area if you don’t feel like taking public transportation or cab.

Our room was clean and spacious. The bedroom and bathroom were upstairs and there was a seating area downstairs. We had a nice pay. There was a small pool on the roof that we didn’t use. The bathroom had 2 separate showers which made it easier for us to get ready. The AC didn’t work well even on a low setting and there was a sewer/drain smell in the bathroom. We enjoyed our stay.
