Hotel Gran Derby Suite

The good: Staff was just wonderful and very helpful. The room was very comfortable and clean - we had plenty of space and the king size bed was comfortable, especially considering how typically hard EU beds are. There was a fridge and nearby stores. It was very nice and quiet. The cons: The pool was tiny, shallow and the whole experience was unattractive. The neighborhood seemed off the beaten path, which is good and bad, I suppose. But mostly bad because trying to find a good bar with Alhambra beer and clean glasses proved to be difficult (so we went to the store instead). We did find a couple excellent restaurants for dinner there, so that was a plus. We were only here for a night to catch a flight, but it's not a neighborhood I'd choose if I were here for a few days for tourism.

From the moment we arrived, our experience at Hotel Gran Derby Suite was nothing short of exceptional. We were warmly welcomed by Ali and Laura at reception, whose genuine hospitality and thoughtful local recommendations set the tone for our stay. Our room was absolutely beautiful—immaculately clean, spacious, and elegantly designed. The evening turn-down service was a lovely touch, complete with the most delicious chocolates left on our pillows. When I asked about purchasing them, I was told they weren’t for sale. To my surprise and delight, the staff had a small bag of those very chocolates waiting for me when I returned from dinner. This thoughtful gesture truly captured the spirit of the hotel—warm, personal, and attentive in every way. I can’t recommend Hotel Gran Derby Suite enough, and I look forward to returning on our next visit to Barcelona.

I stayed one night at this hotel and had an amazing experience. It's located in Eixample, one of the most charming and vibrant neighborhoods in Barcelona. The room was spacious and thoughtfully laid out, with a separate living area and bedroom that made it feel more like a suite. Breakfast was enjoyable, with a good selection of options. It can get a bit crowded when many guests arrive at the same time, but the staff were attentive and made sure everything ran smoothly. PS: Just a heads-up—there’s another Grand Derby Hotel located across the street, part of the same hotel group. I initially went to the wrong one, and it seems I’m not the only one who’s made that mistake!

This is a small, friendly hotel in a good part of Barcelona. It is easily accessible to trains and a short walk into the main shopping and tourist area. The staff are great - helpful and friendly. The place is clean and the beds comfy. I was happy staying there. Thank you!

The hotel was very nice and clean and the staff was extremely friendly. The area around the hotel was nice with places to eat and shop for snacks. There were several bus stops close by and the tram was also close. The pool is small but the pool area has plenty of seating and is secluded. The bathroom had a shower and a large bathtub.
