Hotels in El Born, Barcelona

The location was excellent and I felt very safe when out for a run in the early morning. The staff were friendly and helpful. We took advantage of the hotel breakfast and it was perfectly acceptable -- nothing spectacular but no problems either. The shower in particular was a problem in that it drained poorly, was very slippery when wet (see: drained poorly), and caused a lot of flooding on the floor of the main bathroom, which increased the slippery danger. The beds were comfortable and I appreciated the staff leaving an extra pillow in the armoire if we wanted it.

It feels somewhere between a motel and a hotel rather than a hotel. There was no view from the window, but the exterior wall was visible. Even with all the lights turned on, it was a dark room. I like dark places, but this is pitch dark. It's the first time I've seen a place that doesn't give you a bottle of water when you check in. It's okay. You can buy a bottle of water for 1 euro at a nearby Indian supermarket. Basel Hotel? It was cheap, but prices are very high these days, so if you want to go to a better place, you have to spend more money. I felt like I was in a museum because there was an old-fashioned hair dryer in the bathroom that looked older than my age. This was an opportunity for me to decide to bring a hair dryer with me. The location is close to Baselneta Beach and the subway station, and it's nice to have a bus stop right in front. It's close to the Picasso Museum and La Chinata Hoffman Bakery. This is a cheap hotel, right?

L'Hotel è situato in una zona della città ben servita e dotata di tutti i mezzi pubblici (fermata del bus e della metropolitana), inoltre la spiaggia può essere raggiunta tranquillamente a piedi. Ho da ridire sulla dimensione delle camere, in quanto in 2 persone si faceva molta fatica a muoversi e a gestire i bagagli insieme a tutto il resto. Nulla da ridire sulla pulizia, in quanto le stanze venivano pulite accuratamente, ma la cosa che ha lasciato un po' perplessi è stata la mancanza della cassaforte e del mini frigo. Va bene che sia economico per la posizione in cui si trova, però almeno un mini frigorifero per metterci 2 bottiglie di acqua o altro non deve mancare assolutamente!!!

Absolutely lovely hotel - don’t be out off by it’s 2* rating, I’ve stayed in worse 4* hotels. Fabulous location, next door to Franco train station. Great, helpful gentleman receptionist who checked us in at 12:30 on 18 Oct. Our room was lovely- extremely plush and immaculately clean. Great value for Barcelona too. Highly recommended!

Definitely a unique boutique hotel. Pros- The location in Born was close to all the Barcelona stops we wanted to see, and the neighborhood was safe and quiet. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Cons- we could hear everything that was going on in the hallway. It was so loud. The decor was interesting. We didn’t love how tiny the room was. A glass shower was directly in front of our bed. If you were traveling with anyone other than a partner, I imagine that would be awkward. Also, sexual innuendos were listed everywhere. We didn’t mind them, but it’s something to be aware of.

Answer the question in the previous comment that the boy strayed into the bathroom. The washroom is separate for men and women. The outside shower is inside the shower. I encountered a boy who accidentally entered but pushed the door of the outside bathroom and closed it with embarrassment immediately. The shower room is inside and the lock cannot be used. worry. The entire first floor is a public area. Breakfast is 3.5 Euros for one person. The door is Jaume 1 subway. It is very close to the main church of Barcelona. For those who are used to Beijing, the scale of the whole Barcelona is not large. There are many attractions in the city. Can walk, this location is OK. For girls in the eight-person room, the floor will squeak. For me who is used to staying in youth hostels, I am tired after playing for a day, and sleep is not affected. Everything else is OK. This price is ok in Europe. The front desk can buy a lock for 3 Euros or bring your own. You can put an S hook on the wall of the shower room in your bag. It is also possible to bring it without a shower. When you open the door of the shower room, you can reach the opposite side by the hook. It is not closed for 24 hours, and it is the same for Christmas. It is very convenient. Generally speaking, it is cost-effective in the youth hostel.

First of all the rooms look nothing like the photos on their website. We booked a superior queen room with a terrace and a view. The view was a solid concrete wall around our balcony that couldn't be looked over even if you stood on the bench provided. The bed also wasn't a queen. I know in Europe they push two single beds together, that's fine, but in photos online and in other hotels they put a piece in the middle to join the two beds and dress them as one queen size bed. Ours was two separate beds. My husband and I stayed here for 9 nights and we sleep close together. It was terrible having to sleep in a little twin bed. And did I mention how hard the beds were? We didn't sleep the first few nights because we had to keep tossing and turning otherwise the side of your body would go numb and ache from the hard mattress. The weather channel was saying it was going to rain the next few days in Barcelona so I asked the front desk if they had umbrellas to lend out. They had none. I've been all over to many different countries and I'd say probably all good hotels offer such amenity. Lastly, 100% I know I left a few pieces of clothing behind. I know exactly which pieces were left behind. I remember hanging them in the closet and I specifically remember not packing them. I contacted the hotel immediately. First I got the, you need to call back and speak to management. Then I got the, I need to speak to housekeeping. Three days later they told me no clothing was found in our room. Liars! Straight up liars! I would completely understand if they told me that the clothing was thrown away as standard policy or whatever but don't blatantly lie! The positives were that the rooms were clean and spacious enough and the location was great. Walking distance to the beach, the metro and many restaurant and bars at your doorstep. But we won't be back. I don't support liars and poor management.

Very nice hotel located close to the park and le born area. Lots of restaurants close to the hotel and only a short walk from both Barceloneta beach and la ramblas. Enjoyed the roof top bar and pool. Staff very service minded and friendly. Stayed 5 nights and will definately consider this hotel again next time we visit Barcelona.

We had an amazing stay at the NH hotel during our city break in Barcelona. All the provided services are perfect qualities. Whatever you wish to print your boarding passes at the concierge desk or order the room service the staff is more than happy to assist you. The room was ready for us much earlier than the check in time. The hotel is perfectly located, right at the La Rambla Street and the skybar at the roof offers amazing landscape of the city with DJ taking care of the music. We highly recommend the hotel for everyone who is looking for an accommodation in Barcelona. At the end we would like to award Laura and Mike from the front desk and a bellboy Kevin who were giving us an extraordinary assist since we only crossed the door of the hotel.
