눉Hotel rooms images do not displayed the real situation. Our room windows facing to the narrow gap between the window and the opposite wall. Since the building was held in repair, workers created a large working noise and voices, as well as the dust began 8 am till the working time finished. One of the reception female employees was very friendly, unlike other.
눇Good location.

눉Only some small things: showerhead could not be fixed into position. No place at the washing table to put your stuff. They should have mentioned in the booking details that our room had no outside view, although they offered to switch rooms the day after our arrival. There is some construction going on at the moment in the building that causes some noise.
눇Very friendly and helpfull staff. The hotel is very clean and looks nice inside. The location is very good.

눇It's true that on TripAdvisor Som Nit Born appears as a HOTEL. It is also true that when you get to Booking.com to make the reservation they list it correctly as a HOSTEL but I'm not sure if anyone notices the difference (we didn't). And that may cause a big (negative) surprise at the arrival once you find the place. We passed in front of it and hadn't we had the address (make sure you have not just the street but also THE NUMBER) we would still be wondering where the Som Nit Born is. Well, the Hostel is on the second floor of a very old (probably, historic and surely beautiful ) building with no apparent sign with it's name and (to make things worse) no elevator. And (as if that is not enough) to top the negative first impression, the entrance of the building is filled with construction materials as the whole building is (currently) renovated and that (combined with the noise of the works in progress that we discovered our next morning) causes a lot of (hopefully, temporary) annoyance to the hostel residents. BUT, then the good surprises come one after the other.... the place itself is in nickel condition, recently (and tastefully) reconstructed, with a lovely reception and impeccably clean. The rooms are minuscule but tasteful with basic but satisfactory beds and mattresses (still they could benefit of some new linen to replace the outdated blankets and bed covers), with private also minuscule but functional (though our sink could be a little bit bigger to avoid a lot of dripping on the floor) baths with italian showers. For (I think at least) some lucky ones like ourselves the pleasant addition was a true balcony, fun to sit outside (when the constructors had left and the resident above wasn't watering his/her plants) looking at the beautiful pedestrian street. But the top of the top was the location, oh my God! the location... At the conjunction of Barceloneta, Bari Gotic and ElBorn itself everything was at walking distance.

눉There was only one mirror, which was located in the bathroom. Another mirror in the room would have worked better for two people sharing the room. Although the staff was very helpful with regards to assisting you with your luggage for the three flights to gain access to the rooms, a lift would have been nice.

“A good base in Barca”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉This essentially is a room only service. Nothing else except a reception desk and luggage storage. Didn't like the entrance as I had to lug very heavy cases up two flights of stairs in dimly lit stair well though young girl (staff) offered to help. Note that they are working on the entrance now and expect to have a lift installed 2018?
눇Modern, basic and clean room well located for our requirements in city centre, great upmarket veggie restaurant directly opposite - best in Barca. Really helpful and friendly staff and the bonus was being able to drop our cases off early on the day of arrival and leave them on the day of departing so no lost time enjoying the city.

눉There were skid marks from the last guest in the toilet and the room wasn't ready even at 2pm. No kettle. No desk. It was basically 139 Euros for a tiny room in a youth hostel. I tried to work but it was so noisy with renovations it was impossible.
눇Only the staff. When the receptionist saw that I was shocked to find a downmarket hostel for the price of a rather nice hotel, she tried her best to accommodate me. Oh and the wifi was very good.

“What an incredible Gem located near the Port and the Old City”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Twin Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉Som Nit Born could not help this but they were renovating in the building so there was hammering and large drilling noises from above for a few days. Luckily it was during the day and not during Siesta time and fortunately not over the weekend!! But the stairs were dusty and lots of plaster dust in the stairwell. The Hostal is located two stories up, in a historic building so if you don't like stairs I would be reluctant to recommend it. Lighting a little scary also in the stairwell even when you press the light switches. But these are minor problems!
눇If you could recommend a Hostal just on its staff you would select Som Nit Born. From our first welcome by Tamara and then Rosabel the next day, plus Fatima in room service, we felt very comfortable and special. They were kind enough to mark specific sights, lovely restaurants and tapa bars. They speak multi languages and made it so easy! Additionally when our air-conditioning was playing up they were onto it very quickly and ensured that we were happy when it was fixed. The rooms are very minimalistic but modern with Scandinavian lines. Timber style floors with a lovely fresh feel about the rooms. Bathrooms clean and modern. We were fortunate to have Room 1 which had a gorgeous balcony on the small lane way. It was so beautiful to wake up in the morning with the sun streaming through the large french windows. We would sit out on the rather small stools but enjoy the atmosphere of Barcelona and the old town. Fortunately Som Nit Born is squeezed between the old town and the port and is an ideal location for night strolls along the port promenade or a lazy walk into the tapa bars in the old town. Best of both worlds. We have paella at the port one night and then a tapa meal near the church of St Maria the next. All 5 minutes away! Recommend you ask for a room with a balcony if you can. There are Mercado's just up the main road of Isabel 11 and a great selection of transport from Metro to Buses just outside on Pla de Palau. Additionally the Touristic Bus stops on Isabel 11 which is perfect for those wishing a simplified type of sightseeing - the girls sell the tickets at the counter at Som Nit Born. My husband attended the Formula 1 and it was a 10 minute stroll to the Estació del Nord Station for the Grand Prix shuttle. All round we had a wonderful time in Barcelona - thank Som Nit Born and your great staff.

“Expensive Hostal in Barcelona”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Twin Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉Struggled to find the entrance to the premises, I didn't believe the plain white sign as it looked like the entrance to a building site. I'm 6'5" and the beds were only 6" long. I complained at "reception" that this was not a standard size but was informed that this was their standard size. Our room was plain, functional and not that clean. I picked up long black hairs off my feet before getting into bed. The room door squeaked like something out of a horror movie. No view, just window to let light in.
눇Location is excellent, I was attending a show at Port Vell and was able to walk there in under 10 minutes. Loads of great bars and restaurants right there.
