Hotel Details

Location

Set in the heart of El Born on a pedestrian street off Passeig del Borne, 200 m from the Picasso Museum and 100 m from Santa María del Mar Cathedral.
Jaume I Metro Station is a 5-minute walk, placing Las Ramblas and Barceloneta Beach within 2 km. The lively Born district offers a wide selection of cafés, restaurants, and shops within 100 m, with a bar on the ground floor of the building. Despite the central and active setting, the pedestrian street and solid building keep the studios quiet for sleeping. The location scores 9.6 for its centrality and convenience, with easy access to metro, market, and bakery.

Accommodation

Each studio is a self-contained unit with a private bathroom, kitchenette, double bed, sofa, TV, and air conditioning. Original features include beamed ceilings and exposed brick walls.
Studios are located on separate floors (one per floor, 4 total) and vary: one first-floor studio has a private terrace with views of Santa María del Mar Church, two studios have private balconies, and another has a small balcony with access to a communal roof terrace. Rooms are described as spacious, clean, well-laid-out, and freshly renovated. The double bed is a 160 cm mattress and is considered very comfortable. The kitchenette includes a fridge, coffee machine, kettle, and cookware. A safety deposit box is provided. The building has no lift - access requires climbing a spiral staircase of about 70 steps, which is a significant factor for planning.

Dining

Breakfast is not offered; each studio has a kitchenette. Over a dozen cafés, restaurants, and tapas bars are within 300 m.
The on-site kitchenette allows for self-catering. Within a 0.5 km radius, options include NoSe Cocktail Bar, Del Born, Llamber, Pasteleria Hofmann, El Xampanyet, Bacoa, ElDiset, and La Pizza Del Born. A bar operates on the ground floor of the building. A bakery and market are also steps away, making it easy to purchase groceries for breakfast or snacks.

Wellness and Leisure

The property offers a communal sun terrace on the top floor, ideal for relaxing in a quiet pedestrian zone.
The roof terrace is an unexpected pleasure, providing a peaceful retreat with views over the neighbourhood. The terrace is shared among studios. No pool, spa, gym, or other leisure facilities are available.

Facilities and Services

Free Wi-Fi, luggage storage, and tour desk. Reception is open daily 10am-5pm at an office one minute away. Check-in is possible outside these hours via prior arrangement.
Wi-Fi is stable and provides per-apartment private user access, suitable for teleworking. Luggage storage is available at the reception office during opening hours. Staff are described as very helpful, friendly, and available 24/7 via messaging, with efficient key handover even for late arrivals. The property offers private check-in/check-out and an invoice service. Ironing facilities are available. No on-site parking exists. The property is non-smoking throughout and adults-only.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request the studio with a private terrace or private balcony when booking, as only one studio has a terrace and two have a balcony.

  • 02

    Use the luggage storage at the reception office (1 minute walk, open 10am-5pm) if you arrive early or depart late.

  • 03

    Plan for 70 spiral staircase steps: the building has no lift and narrow stairs, making it unsuitable for those with mobility issues or heavy luggage.

  • 04

    Book directly for the specific studio type you want; each studio is a separate unit with its own listing.
