Your comfort will depend on...

Liked: I stayed for 3 weeks during business trip at a 4-star Catalonia chain hotel in the middle of El Born district. The hotel itself is very clean. Breakfast buffet offers both hot and cold food, AMAZING organic coffee and local pastries plus unlimited access to drinking water. Top floor has an open rooftop bar and a pool (during renovation!) plus gym. The staff is very welcoming, super helpful and professional. They will try to help you enjoy your stay at the hotel (big thanks to Mohammed for huge support with changing the room twice during my stay :)). Make sure to check the photos of the rooms and book the feasible one well in advance - even during low season the hotel seemed full especially during the weekends. I highly recommend staying in one of the rooms facing inner patio (I was very happy with room 302), which will allow you to escape El Born's noise. The average tourist booking this hotel is a middle-age American or German tourist, so no need to worry about noise or disturbance during night time.Close neighborhood offers a wide range of bars, pubs, restaurants, cafes, shops, laundries and tourist attractions. I was able to walk almost everywhere with no need for taxis/public transport. The hotel offers renting an e-bike (for a fee).All in all, a bit overpriced, more 3-star, than 4-star hotel, with amazing staff and a very good breakfast buffet! If I were to stay in the neighborhood again, I would definitely book it again.
Disliked: Some of the rooms face the street with busy restaurants - expect noise and smell if you decide to keep your windows open. Other rooms are a bit outdated (the other room I stayed at had a very bad smell from plumbing). Generally speaking sound insulation is not the best: you will hear some noise from the rooms and from the corridor, but not to the extent that it would interfere with your stay (I am a light sleeper and had absolutely no issues with sleep when using my sleep mask and earplugs). During rainy days it was a bit cold in the room, but that could've been a one-time thing (my colleague was happy with her room's temperature).

Pleasant

Liked: Location, Breakfast
Disliked: Rm 802, a Penthouse???? Small, dark room. Downstairs seating area with small window. Very overpriced. At night, when hotel / room quiet a constant humming from outside the room (corridor or ceiling) made it very difficult to sleep. Told reception and no action or communication. 24 hrs later asked Maintenance guy directly. First he'd heard of my complaint. He came to the room, acknowledged the noise, and came later to say it was a pump. Still nothing done and never mentioned by reception over a four day stay. Hugely disappointing
