A definate "MUST" for the perfect stay in Barcelona. If your flying into Girona airport, then taking the coach from the airport (25 euros pp return, valid for 30 days) to nord coach station is a 1hr 10 min journey. The coach park is 5 minutes from the Arc d Triomphe and this amazing little hotel is a further 5... More

The location in the old city and near the park was pleasant but a little too far from the centre to be easily walkable. Our executive room on the top (9th) floor was spacious with a large terrace with a couple of sun-loungers (very pleasant when the sun shone) but with no view to mention. Although we enjoyed our stay... More

This is a great hotel in all respects at a great price. But what makes this hotel special is its location. The Catalonia Born is located in the Born historic section of the city, next to the Arc of Triumph subway station. El Borne (The Born) is one of the oldest and best kept sections of Barcelona. I always adored... More

Honestly, the main reason to choose this hotel was to have a place very close to the start of the barcelona half marathon (mitja maratona). But it turned out to be a good decision, because the hotel is clean, affordable and nice. It's not outstanding but fair value and a good place to explore the city. Metro + train station... More
