Extraordinary hotel! Everything was top notch. I can’t say enough about all of the hotel staff. They were professional, courteous and always helpful. Very clean, modern rooms with all the amenities. The breakfast was outstanding as well as the restaurant staff. I would love to go back!

This lovely hotel really couldn't be located any better for getting out and about in the city. Our room was spacious, with an incredibly comfortable bed (much appreciated after long long days of sight-seeing) and a wonderfully refreshing shower. The staff was, without exception, friendly and helpful. It was too chilly during our stay to make use of the rooftop pool, but it was a nice place to sit in the afternoon to make the most of the last of the sun. Breakfast was excellent, with a wide range of high quality choices. Housekeeping were very efficient and our room was always kept very clean and comfortable bed. I would dearly love to be giving five stars, but our room was at the front of the hotel, over-looking the main road, and there was absolutely no noise-attenuation offered by the windows, and despite being absolutely shattered from all the walking we were doing every day, neither of us were able to sleep right through the night for the whole week we were there. Apart from this, we loved our stay!

Very nice hotel with good location, excellent staff, clean rooms, awesome rooftop pool/cocktails, and terrific breakfast. We had an upgraded corner room, which was VERY small. Like, there was no place to open suitcases, and one person had to move for another to walk through. Almost zero space to unpack our things. We had to ask them to remove a chair so we could open one suitcase, at least.

The Grand Hotel Central is beautiful, impeccably maintained, and has delightful, helpful staff. The rooftop pool and view are spectacular and the restaurant is excellent with a lovely ambience. We intend to stay every time we are in Barcelona.
