El Born Centre Cultural

Trying to find the hotel can be a bit of a problem going around the one way system. We suddenly came across it by driving into the back of the property. We used it on our way to France from Spain. Very large shopping centre within five minutes walk with a large Carrefour and Mercadona.

My husband and I stayed for a week. Great service and very clean and modern looking. It is in a very safe area. We had no issues. Less than 10 min walk from Sagrada Família. Our room was cleaned every day and they had the mini fridge conveniently stocked up with drinks and snacks. They refilled it every time we took something out. Staff knows multiple languages. We spoke to them in both English and Spanish. Lobby also has a nice seating/waiting area, great for waiting on taxis. Would definitely stay again.

Our bed was enormous…a rarity at most hotels, so that was a plus. We didn’t have a view, per se. But, we did get light so we didn’t care. The temperature of the shower water could have been a bit warmer, but again, we didn’t care. We chose to eat breakfast one morning; we were impressed with the offerings. Our only “negative” was.,,there seemed to be an unpleasant smell in the hallway. Luckily that did not permeate into our room. For us, the location was wonderful!
