Grand Hotel Central Barcelona

Just stayed for 5 nights here and loved every bit of it. Where will i start? We arrived early and they worked very hard to get us into our room ….in by 11 am which was terrific. Front of house staff, obliging and excellent. Our room was terrific…see photos. Very light with plenty of windows…we were in a corner room which was terrific (room 424) Here is my only gripe……..not enough cupboard space and no drawers… (we travel heavy!)…anyhow we sorted ourselves out well. Bed was to die for along with the pillows. Bathroom very well appointed and quite large. Substantial mini bar (as always substantial prices ) The breakfast was buffet style and again very good along with excellent staff always friendly and happy to oblige . The rooftop pool and restaurant were terrific although whilst we were there it was just too hot to sit for long. You need to book the loungers which is a good idea so you dont get any lounge hogs! Sadly the sauna was under maintenance …pity as i love a sauna. Housekeeping 10/10 We dined at the restaurant CanBo which again was terrific ..started with a Negroni at the bar ! Downsides? It was a bit noisy at nighttime even on the fourth floor away from the street….but everyone her in Spain was groping nuts about the World Cup All in all i would stay here again in a blink.

Wonderful atmosphere, beautiful ambiance and design/interior, great service and staff, loved the food in CanBo and the excellent cocktails & cakes on La Terrazza. Don't forget to dip in the exciting rooftop pool when you are there!!

This hotel is amazing! An excellent location, clean and tight rooms, great food. The saunas are amazing so does the swimming pool. On top of it all, it was the last 2 days of our honeymoon. Vueling airlines did not bring our luggage’s and lost them , Pop and the staff of the hotel did all their efforts and we have found it! We strongly recommend!!

We had such a wonderful stay at Grand Central Hotel Barcelona. After arriving Thursday morning following an overnight journey, we were so grateful that our rooms were ready right away. The staff immediately came out to help with our bags and took them directly to each of our rooms, which made check-in feel effortless. What really stood out to us was how kind and thoughtful the front desk staff were. They were very courteous, professional, and clearly understood that we were tired from traveling. They offered us cold water and cool towels, which was such a welcoming touch, and gave us all the information we needed about breakfast and the hotel. Our room was beautifully appointed, spotless, and very well organized. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and it was obvious that the hotel takes great care in maintaining a clean and relaxing environment. Throughout our stay, the staff was always quick to help whenever we needed taxis or directions. The location was also excellent, with easy access to the metro, about 15–20 minutes from the cruise port, and close to plenty of restaurants and shopping. We truly appreciated the service and convenience of this hotel and would happily stay here again.

The hotel provides a great first impression and the staff are welcoming and polite. The main disappointment is with the room and the pool area. The room was dirty. Doesn't matter how many facilities you provide to make it a 5 star, you need to do the basics well too. The bathroom had lots of black mould and the finish was poor (see photos). The carpet was also grubby so needs a good clean. We didn't get refreshed bottled water or teabags each day, which should be at a minimum. The storage in the room was poor. There was one small wardrobe and no drawers. Most of our stuff had to stay in suitcases. The pool area was poor. The pool was very small. The nice lounge area had to be booked in 2 hour slots. The issue was that there was no shade for any of them. Then only shaded area was in the eating area. So if you used the pool you had to sit wet or stand around. The location was great. Easy access to the Gothic Quarter, restaurants and bars. The beach was a 10 min walk too.
