El Born Hotel Guide - Boutique Hotels in El Born, Barcelona

"Very nice hotel and friendly staff. Breakfast buffet truly amazing. Not much to see in the surrounding area. Had to walk 5-10 minutes to get to the Barri Gothic. One weird thing: the room came with everything, except Kleenex."

"This was our second stay at Arc la Rambla and we enjoyed this stay as much as the first. We were pleased to see that the high standards of cleanliness, staff attentiveness and friendliness has not changed. This hotel is an excellent choice for a short or long visit to Barcelona. The location can't be beat. This time we had a room with a small balcony which was very nice; the natural light made the room even more cozy. We had a huge bathroom with a large tub - and that was very much appreciated. The buffet breakfast is loaded with a wide variety of choices -- so you can definitely start your day with a light or substantial breakfast. We'd absolutely stay here again on future visits. (p.s. the large storage units for your luggage are a perfect. only 2 Euro for a locker spacious enough for two large luggages and our carry on wheel-aboard size bags. We even received a phone call when our room was ready -- which was a full hour before standard check in time.... we actually didn't hear the phone ring but when we saw the missed call, we headed back and were immediately given our room key. Little things like that matter -- and we really appreciate that kind of service. "

"The hotel is at the ultimate spot for transportation. The train station is right outside the hotel's front door and it could not get more convenient than that! It is also very close to the port, Las Ramblas, Gothic Quarter and other sites! The breakfast took us by surprise because based on our previous stays in different countries in Europe, we did not expect the buffet to have so many options and the food was delightful! On our first night, there was loud commotion on our floor and we are not sure what exactly happened since we do not speak Spanish well, but eventually the police arrived to settle the situation. It would've been great if the situation was taken care of a bit quicker since it felt like it went on for at least 30 minutes, but these types of things can't quite be predicted so it's understandable. Overall, a great hotel at a great location! "

"Lovely hotel in a perfect location to walk and explore many areas, plus easy access to metro. Our room had a beautiful terrace to enjoy as well. While not a problem for us, important to note the elevator between reception and first floor is broken so you must be able to walk up one flight of stairs to access elevator to rest of hotel. "
