I have lived in Barcelona for several months and came back to visit the city I love so dearly. I chose this hotel because I think it is in the perfect location. The area is NOT TOURISTY, if you stay anywhere near las ramblas god help you. You can take a 5 minute walk to some of the best restaurants... More

Stayed here for a couple of nights. Easy to find and very helpful staff - changed my room without any problem when I realised I had some very noisy people in rooms around me. Room was a fair size, very large comfortable bed. Window facing onto internal open area, so no view but this meant it was very quiet. Everything... More

Stayed at Catalonia Born in April for 2nites. Have never stayed in the Born area previously, would recommend highly. I wanted to try somewhere other than the ramblas and this was perfect. Hotel although difficult to get to as it was one way, was in great location. Easy to reach a number of bars and restaurants. Right by arc de... More

Spacious room with large terrasse and deck chairs etc. Very clean and tidy. A little od school design but don't mind it. Central - close to the beach and the center. Lots of small bars and cafes around. Breakfast was very good - lots to choose from and everything fresh and nicely served. Staff was helpful.

After asking for a quiet room and shown one facing the street we were assured the street would be quiet once night came. As we gazed upon the two restaurants across the way (but not the bar we would later hear (!) but not see) we foolishly believed them. Friday night patrons' noise was loud and steady until 1:00 AM...

We have stayed here for 4 nights. Overall , I would say it was ok but not a 4 star hotel. Maybe a good 3. Rooms are quite small, the terrace is extremely small, bathrooms are an average size.

We enjoyed our stay here. The location was good, the room was nice, the staff were friendly. The rooftop pool was clean and well maintained although it was a bit too cold for a dip when we were there.
