This hotel was booked thru a conference we attended & I was a little leary after reading reviews here. We ended up thinking it was a great place to stay! It was quiet despite being on a busy street, close to the metro & easy walking distance to some of the Gaudi houses, shops & restaurants. The metro was right... More

It was ok for Barcelona. We walked a lot, took cab a few times and used subway twice. It was hard to find a grocery restaurant near by. There was not any nice restaurant near by. We wished it was a little bit in the center of tourist area. Anyway hotel room was bi enough for the money. They make... More

Stayed here two nights as part of a package, and was extremely please. Rooms were comfy and quiet with all mod cons and the breakfast was absolutely superb. Staff were helpful and friendly also, spoke impeccable English. Location was great, metro station approximately 30 seconds from the hotel. Would stay there again without doubt More

Hotel lobby looks quite elegant and modern, if you like the sterile type. The rooms are small, we were a group and at least two of the rooms didn´t have AC that worked or mini bars that were in function. Bathrooms were not fresh, and the floors were quite old and marked. I also noticed in my room something that... More

Gran Hotel Catalonia (or by it's new name Diagonal Centro) pretends to be a four stars hotel while three stars are more appropriate.

We stayed in Gran Catalonia Hotel five days and it was really nice. The staff was so helpful and worried about our thinkings. The only point that we didn't like it is that they need to check the features,the building is quite old. More

just got back from a weekend in the hotel & it was great! i was a bit worried reading the reviews in here, but it turned out to be a great choice! we stayed at the 5th floor so the metro noise didn't bother us at all. the staff were lovely & helpful, breakfast was much more than i expected... More

First of all the people working there were very rude and even tough we were facing some problems with our stay ,they did not show any interest. The area of the breakfast is terrible. a basement without natural light. The rooms where ok but not appropriate for a 4 star hotel. There was noise also and some characteristic smell. The... More

The reception was rude. The room was adequate overall but dated. The mattress was hard. The worst part was the vibration and noise from the underground trains passing directly beneath the hotel every 10-15 minutes from early in the morning until late at night. Water pressure was very good in the shower. The windows had nifty electric blinds. The internet... More
