As others have said, the location is amazeballs. Right next to the pedestrian streets of the Born district & the Bari Gotic. Very helpful staff. Lovely lounge with Nespresso coffee and various fancy loose-leaf teas available for free all day long. The decor is pretty hip & weird. I mean, I liked it, but I can't picture my grandmother staying... More

Excellent location, lovely staff, very cool room with everything you need (we had one with a balcony) and nice and quiet at night. The breakfast is not included and the one offered was lovely but you need to eat a lot for the price! Would recommend if you are looking for something chic and basic in a very cool part... More

The 2 things that stand out for me about this hotel are the staff and the location. The staff were incredibly friendly and chatty straight away. The lady on reception gave us a great recommendation for a tapas lunch, just down the road and it ended up being our favourite tapas restaurant we went to. Check it out - it's... More

I stayed in the chic and basic born hotel for 2 nights with my partner. I thought the rooms were very nice, maybe a little bit too funky for some. The bed was firm and very comfortable for us. Some may not like the coloured lights or the shower being in the bedroom, but for me that's what made this... More

Location in El Born area is excellent and a block away from the Metro. There's a small tapas restaurant right next door that open from breakfast and dinner, but that's about it, which makes the area a bustling during the day but quiet at night. We couldn't believe that we're actually in the city of Barcelona! We were welcomed and... More

Great concept, extremely good value, astonishingly helpful and friendly staff (seriously, could have stayed in the lobby and chatted to them all day!) and Born is fantastic. The hotel is in a stunning old building with a very grand staircase and a contemporary design. It's definitely got a bit of wow factor, is original and had some nice touches, though... More
