Booked an Executive Room which promised extra space and the best views. Reality was a tiny room,with horrible views, which was dark and claustrophic Only decent thing is the location, but the combination of poor lighting and black walls did nothing for me. It may be trying to be chic, but it has zero style Horrible more

A great boutique hotel; stylish and smart, but not so dark you can't see. The staff were courteous. Fantastic location just round the corner from the cathedral. I had an executive room which was clean and spacious. The minibar was inclusive in the price, and even contained non-alcoholic beer. Great rooftop pool too! more

I was so confused about which hotel to chose but finally after booking and cancelling a few others, I decided on Grand Hotel Central. We have been to Barcelona several times and we usually stay at 5 star hotels. I booked a loft room as we got a special deal for 259 euro per night. The minibar is free and... more

What a nice hotel! The location can't be any better - a block away from the Cathederal. The rooms appeared to be recently decorated - dark colors and wood, but very nice. All of the hotel employees were very friendly and helpful. I was staying at this hotel for work and it was paid for by someone else, but at... more

We stayed here during the last week of May 2008. Overall a lovely hotel and staff very friendly and helpful. The free mini bar is a welcome touch and the rooms very spacious and modern. The only fault which has made me write this review is that it is very dark in the hotel due to the rather unfortunate choice... more

Highly recommend this hotel, location was excellent for the major attractions, very close to the old city with easy walking to reach the metro & sightseeing buses. Staff were pleasant, buffet breakfast was ample. Really thought the complementary soft drink mini-bar was a welcome change. Our room faced a corner street & was very quiet. Lighting is quite subdued in... more

Its taken me while to get around to this, but here it is. Stayed a long weekend at Grand, it was superb, staff so helpful; and dare I say their English was much better than my Spanish. Rooms were clean and spacious, mine had a walk in shower room, could have had a party in there. We didn't eat in... more

The decor at the Grand Hotel is lovely and the amenities are nice. Everything in the mini bar is free, but there is no alcohol. The bathroom was very cool and modern. The roof-top pool was definitely the higlight of this hotel! The pool is beautiful and there are plenty of comfortable chairs to lounge. There is a bar on... more

This hotel is in a great location for exploring Barcelona on foot. However, when we stayed the weather was dreadful from arriving to leaving (two days early), this was nothing to do with hotel. However, the bad weather highlighted certain points. 1. No radiators in room for drying, but hotel staff took clothes away and returned them promptly. 2. The... more
