Great choice, perfect for solo as well as couples

I was overall very satisfied with El Born Guest House. The staff was very service minded, great location and cosy building. Central but quiet and calm. The bathroom was fresh and refurbished.

Pleasant stay

Easy to check in. We enjoyed the communal area with kitchen items, coffee machine, and complimentary bottles of water and small baked goods. The only downside was the very small shower (my husband is 6'3" and had some trouble), but overall a great stay! Definitely recommend.

It was clean. The room was a little small but to sleep OK!
Arne, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The place was centered in the heart of wonderful shopping, museums, and dining. The only drawback was the front door key was tricky so getting in proved to be a challenge at times and the shower was incredibly small and not easy to get in and out of.
Leslie, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

El Born was perfectly located adjacent to the gothic quarter and across the street from train and bus stations. The metro and beach were also easily walkable. We would stay here again! Guillermo was super friendly and helpful. We felt welcome and that he would accommodate whatever needs we had. Water pressure was great and got plenty hot. The room was cool and the bed was comfortable.
Tori, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

The room is too small. Way too expensive compared to other hotels in the area. We will not come back.
Anna, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The bed is terrible. Luxury hotel prices with what feels like hostel accommodations. Online photos make room look much better than it is. The mattress was rock hard with a skimpy blanket.
Debbie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good.

Someone threw away the food I had in the fridge. The check-in times seems very limited, but it worked out good.

Lite men praktisk og rent hotellrom. Balkon var liten men grei for to personer. Sengen var god. Badet bar preg av å være gammelt og mye brukt. Skuffene på baderomsmøbelet var tydelig skadet av vann, dusjkabinettet var rustet der emaljen var slitt vekk i bakkant, dusjhodet for «regn» virket ikke da det var tett av kalk samt at det lakk på oversiden som resulterte i at vann sprutet på utsiden av dusjkabinettet og opp i taket.

8/10 Very good

God placering men lille og klemt til prisen

Det var er udmærket ophold, men vi havde forventet en mere hotel-agtig feeling. Det var mere som at bo på et hostel med enkeltværelser. Værten var rar og flink og servicen var fin. Bedst var dog placeringen, som vi synes var helt i top. Kvarteret var levende, fuld af barer og restauranter og med en fantastisk park i “baghaven”. Rengøringen var fin på værelset men badeværelset kunne godt have brugt en kærlig og renlig hånd. Alt i alt et fint ophold men til den dyre side.

Good location

The location is great. Taxi to the airport was about 35€ the room itself was small but had what we needed. The shower was extra small but it worked. The people working were very nice and helpful.

Very Different

The guest house was nice. Different from our usual choice. We were looking for a different experience and we certainly found it. A little more expensive than I expected but overall a very nice stay. Barcelona was beautiful and the experience part of the adventure.

4/10 Fair

Euro charm but BROKEN AIR in August.

El Born REVIEW: I paid about $40 more per night for The El Born Guest House due to the rarity of its advertised air conditioning. It is the traditional smaller European size room, on the edge of the historic old section of the city. I went in August with two of my adult daughters. The small wall-mounted air conditioning unit DID NOT WORK all four nights there. Barcelona is hot and muggy in the summer. The nights were insufferably hot for us. Night air just as hot outside as inside. We couldn’t sleep much until it cooled down outside at 4:30am. This made our day touring difficult as we were all tired from lack of sleep. The on-site manager seemed very sincere in his efforts to fix the air conditioning unit, but to no avail. The manager also said he would try to contact the owners, to see about compensating for suffering through not getting what we paid for. However, he did not secure any discount prior to our departure. If El Born does come through with some recompense, I will note that and offer some words of satisfaction in the face of this suffering. We did not go to a different hotel because for the first three days while we were out, the manager called my cell to tell me the problem had been fixed. Strangely, the manager told me that other guests were coming to stay in this sweltering room shortly after our departure. What is he telling them? Why would he want anyone to stay there?

普通

8月4日〜7日の3泊で利用させていただきました。スペイン語も英語も話せませんでしたが受付の方は地図を開いてジェスチャーを加えながらわかりやすく近隣の観光や施設のことを教えてくれました。 部屋はエアコン付きで広さは日本のビジネスホテルくらい。天井にホコリがありましたが他は綺麗に清掃されていました。毎日清掃がありましたがトイレットペーパーの補充が無く最終日ギリギリ無くなり足りなくなるところでした。共用の冷蔵庫や無料のコーヒー紅茶、マフィンなどありました。 私は受付・入り口の前の部屋で、人の出入りや受付での話し声がすごく聞こえました。 他の方が書いている通り、この受付にはあまり人がいませんでした。何かあれば電話をかけてくれと電話番号を知らされましたが私はwi-fiのみだったので電話はかけられませんでした。 地下鉄最寄駅までは徒歩4分くらいで目の前にはスーパーがあり便利でした。空港発着のバス停があるカタルーニャ広場までは徒歩18分。地下鉄でも行けますが私は歩いて移動しました。 ひとつ困ったのが…到着は14時くらいで外にあるインターホンを鳴らすと返答があり、それと同時にその建物に入っていく方がいて鍵を開けて中に入り「どうぞ」と促されたので一緒に入りました。エレベーターに乗りホテルのフロアに着くとホテル入口にもう一つドアが。ドアはカギがかかっているようでインターホンらしきものも無いしドアも開かない。ドアをどんどん叩いてみても反応なし。二つ目のドアは建て付けが悪いと口コミで見ていたので私の開け方が悪いのかとしばらくあれこれやってみましたがダメ。外のインターホンでは返答があったので人はいるはずだし、予約者が来たこともわかってるはずなのに…。で、再び外に出てインターホンを鳴らしましたが今度は出なくて、数分何度も鳴らしてやっと返答が。ドアが開かないと言うと下まで来てくれてやっと入ることができました。ひとつ目のドアを他の人と入ってしまったのが良くなかったのかも。 トータルして普通ですが、受付の方の感じが良く、英語も話せない私にとても親切に接してくれたので私には良かったです。

Tres bon séjour accueil parfIt d hernan toujours disponible Chambre très petite mais refaite à neuf et propre
caroline, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room with a twin bed was smaller than expected (about the size of a walk-in closet), but adequate for one. You have to maneuver to get out of the shower, as the bathroom was very cramped. Also, this room is located literally right behind the check-in counter and hotel front door, so you hear every guest enter/exiting/checking in, which affected my sleep. Other than that, all the basics needed for a single hotel room were covered. The check-in process can be confusing, as the door to the street is locked, so be sure you have the hotel phone number if the buzzer does not get you in. It also helps if you call the hotel and coordinate your arrival time prior, as I witnessed 2 guests sitting and waiting for the owner to arrive during my stay.
