The hotel is located in a great area in the gothic quarter in Barcelona. It is very close to the Arc de Triumph and literally a 3 minute walk from the Metro and maybe a 10 minute walk to the city center. The room is not very big, though a good comfortable size. Clean bathroom. Great breakfast. We really enjoyed our stay and would come back!

The room and bathroom were good size for european standards. We were close to the metro - Arc de Triomphe - station. Also close to the Barri Gothic. The staff was very nice and helpful. I would stay there again.

We spent 3 nights at Catalonia Born, and, having booked it on line, were delighted to discover we had found a great deal. It provides services comparable to a much more expensive hotel. It is in a great location. Many places are accessible on foot and the metro is close by. We loved exploring the small streets and alleys of the old city. There is a great bakery down the street and a classic small neighborhood coffee shop immediately across the street. We felt that we saw the real Barcelona. The room was very comfortable, looking out onto a narrow back alley. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

It has really good location near the city center, but not "at Rambla directly", which is super in my perception. Rooms are quite cozy. The only negative point were windows, which opened at the street, and we heard whole garbage collection process every evening.
Food was tasty and nourishing, good morning coffee.

DON'T
We arrived at the midnight and were informed that in spite of pre-paid reservation hotel is occupide and they do not have rooms for us. After few moments of shock, we were proposed to stay in another hotel of a higher grade. We agreed for replacement for one night. Taxi brought us there, and returned back next day. As far as another hotel was very comfortable, and we had chance to visit Park Guel, we were not much angry.
