Scene
A charming bed and breakfast
El Balcon del Born is a welcoming, small property with personal service. There is a quality breakfast served each morning in an intimate dining room (or guests can enjoy breakfast on their small balconies). While this B&B isn't overflowing with luxury, the building charms with exposed brick walls and nice light fixtures. An intimate pick, this B&B is popular with couples or groups that reserve the whole property.
Location
Walking distance from two metro stops and the beach
Located in the heart of El Born, El Balcon del Born is ideally located for tourists who want to explore Barcelona. There are two metro stops within a 10-minute walk, and the beach and Las Ramblas are also within walking distance. The area immediately surrounding the hotel is busy with restaurants and shops and the district of El Born itself is regarded as one of the top in Barcelona for dining. The property's location on a quiet plaza, however, means minimal noise from the streets despite the activity in the area.
