“Catalonia Born presents a paradox: a contemporary space nestled in Barcelona's historic El Born district. I found its rooftop pool with city views undeniably appealing, yet some rooms appear to suffer from maintenance issues, based on my investigation. The reported incidents of nearby robberies are troubling, somewhat undermining the hotel's otherwise attractive location.”

the air conditioning did not work good in my room. i spoke to the staff daily, yet nothing was done about it. eventually, they moved me to a different room and it was like going from a superior plus to a superior minus. they also didn't apologize or offer anything for my trouble.
