We returned yesterday from our 6 day trip to Barcelona .From our arrival to departure the Grand Hotel Central fulfilled all our expectations. The location is terrific, the Skybar views outstanding, the staff really pleasant and helpful and we would happily recommend this hotel highly to friends and family and return in a moment if we could. The staff here... More

The Hotel is nice and centrally located. The view on the terrase is fantastic, so is the pool. Looks like heaven. The rooms however were rather poorly equiped. No soap and shampoo in the shower (one has to carry the only soap from the sink to the bathtub), few towels, old-fashion small TV, poorly equiped Minibar and almost no light... More

We spent 3 nights at Grand Hotel Central, and enjoyed every second of it. God service from the staff, excellent breakfast, nice rooms and an excellent location, close to everything. I can surely recommend the hotel, and I hope we can stay there next time we visit Barcelona. Lars, Skanderborg, Denmark.

You can't find a better location in Barcelona, right across the cathedral. 5-10 min walk takes you to any place in the old part of the city. The building is completely remodeled inside, the design is very modern and reserved, the room plans a bit strange, but spacious enough and comfortable. Like other hotels in that whole region, the furniture... More

The staff is very friendly and helpful; our suite was very large and well appointed; we had zero street noise and the room was very dark; the breakfast buffet is wonderful and the location can't be...

Four of us took a transatlantic crossing, with Barcelona as our last stop. My wife and I had been to Barcelona once before, in 2012, and stayed at a hotel on La Ramblas. We enjoyed it, but with all the traffic and people, it can get a bit noisy and busy for some. So, I sought a good hotel at... More

A group of us went to enjoy Barcelona, and thought this hotel would be perfect: good location, interesting decor and some great roof top pool action. Unfortunately it rained non-stop for the whole weekend so no pool action, however everything else went according to plan. Rooms are well laid out but maybe a bit dark for my tastes, staff are...
