We spent four great nights at this hotel in early May and loved it. The front desk staff were extremely helpful for any requests or help that we needed. They served as concierge as sort, when we needed help making arrangements. They were always available when I needed help connecting to the wifi. Our first room was not of our... More

What a hotel! It was a true pleasure to stay here, the location is superb with the Gothic quarter, Olympic port and even the Ramblas (if you want to be pickpocketed) in short walking distance. The rooftop bar is superb with beautiful views over the city, although the swimming pool - while impressive - is quite small and feels very... More

The Grand Central Hotel in Barcelona was a great place to stay. The staff were helpful and friendly, free umbrella use and bicycle use was a nice option as well as the free Internet and printing downstairs however free wifi in the room would have been nice. Location was fantastic. Easy walk to the beach and easily accessible to public... More

Stayed 2 nights here on a break with a friend, couldn't have been more perfect. The hotel is stunning, loved the candles, the rooms are a bit small, but wasn't a problem and the price was good. The location is fantastic for beautiful streets, restaurants, harbour, las ramblas and the main attractions. Got there easily on metro from airport and... More

This is a great little hotel in the one of the best places to stay in Barcelona. The hotel itself is very nice, modern and trendy. The rooms are spotless and the service is great. The pool at the top of the hotel gives you an excellent view over Barcelona. There are some great resturants around the area, but everything... More

We stayed at the Grand Hotel Central in 2011 for four days. Its location is perfect if you want to explore the old part of the city--you're a block away from walking into the winding back alleys of one of the most enchanting shopping districts we've seen. It's also close to the Placa where the tour buses stop, so it's... More

We stayed at Hotel Grand Central for four nights and can't wait to go back. From the hotel website we expected the suite room to be small, but it was spacious. The hotel is beautiful. The pool is fantastic. I do agree that the bathrooms are dimly lit, but the other amenities more than make up for this. The reception... More
