Grand Hotel Central Barcelona

Friendly, accommodating team, nothing was a problem, we enjoyed 3 wonderful nights here. The hotel is in an amazing location, wonderful roof top bar/restaurant and pool. Rooms are super quiet rooms and the blackout blinds really work. Breakfast was bountiful. I highly recommend staying here.

I just wanted to leave a review to highlight the staff at this hotel. They were absolutely wonderful. So helpful, so accommodating, just generally excellent. Everything else about our stay was great too! Would definitely recommend and stay again, (although I would bring earplugs next time because the walls were really thin). But the amazing front desk service really stuck out to me!

Impractical design but pretty. When I experienced the finer details of the room I found it lacking in practical detail. The bathroom was terrible with a shower over bath, extreme slip hazard and no protection from water going everywhere. Had to ask for a slip mat, this should be standard. There was a grab rail which was in an unnatural position. I was dreading having a shower in this room. There was a tiny garbage bin and a tiny bedside table, both were impractical. There were no working USB ports. All this and it was very very expensive. The common areas and breakfast were very good. Staff were reactive to requests for extra towels and when safe wasn't working. The pool was impressive but I didn't fancy taking a swim with everyone in the bar overlooking me. Overall it didn't meet my expectations for the price

We enjoyed our stay at Grand Hotel Central. Its location was very good albeit we took a Taxi to the various sites which are spread across Barcelona. Our room was large with plenty of seating. Our window view was limited and backed onto a service back road which was occasionally noisy. More soundproofing required here. Breakfast covered most european cuisine which tasted good, however the seating is cramped and sparkling wine available could not be drunk because oddly on both mornings they had run out of clean glasses to serve it and when asked they could not find the staff to replace them. This was a theme when asking for something - upon arrival no glasses were available and the right person was never there to replace items. We booked 2 Taxis and on both occasions they were incorrectly booked earlier than we had requested resulting in a large bill while it sat outside. This might be a Barcelona Taxi thing or staff training required. This is an expensive hotel catering for mostly tourists, and we felt they need to up their game with service and staffing or fall further behind the numerous alternatives.

Our stay was AWESOME! The hotel is beautiful, chic, and comfortable. Based on our experience, we praise the staff (Concierge, Front Desk, Housekeeping, Luggage-Helpers, and Restaurant) in the HIGHEST REGARDS! Individually and collectively, the staff members were EXCEPTIONALLY engaging and helpful. Also, I was very impressed with how they balanced being so personable and professional.
