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! :)

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.

Catalonia Born was in the heart of El Born neighborhood. Walking distance to everything and lots of options for restaurants. The pool in the afternoons was a fantastic place to refresh and relax during the hot weather.

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

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!
