Location
Guest Reviews
This is not a 5* hotel. Excessively expensive for what it offers.
1) Facilities:
Underwhelming entrance, lobby area and elevators. Corridors and carpets worn-out and interior design dated. It looks more like a 3-4 star hotel with its glory in the past.
2) Rooms:
Small rooms with cheap and unattractive furniture. No fridge in the room. No proper wardrobe. A few hangers on a rail in an open cabinet. No desk. The interior design involves a bare wall with a cheap TV hanged on it. More of a 3* room vibe. The bathroom layout is awkward: the sink is part of the room and the toilet is separated by a glass door from the room. Not sufficient privacy. The windows cannot be opened, so no fresh air for 4 days.
On arrival, the room was cold. I asked the reception for help with setting up the heating. They said they would send somebody to the room that evening. Nobody came. Hence, I slept with my jumper on that night.
3) Breakfast:
Definitely not 5*. No chef on site and no cooking station. The menu repeated intelf for 4 days. The only fresh vegetables are some cherry tomatoes in a bowl. Very limited choice for vegan people. As I am a vegetarian, I asked for some fresh vegetables cut on a plate. I was told that I needed to pay 10 euros for this. As I paid £400 per day with breakfast included, charging me extra 10 euros for a few vegetables seemed very poor understanding of what a 5* standard should be.
4) Extra charges:
I was charged 100 euros per day for a deposit (400 euros in total), in spite of the fact that the Booking.com site mentioned that the total deposit should be 100 euros for the entire stay. In addition with them taking 400 euros deposit at the check-in, they also took £26 euros per day as city tax.
Overall a disappointing experience. If you want a 5 stars experience, this is not the place to be.
The reception and lounge area are beautifully decorated.
The Rooftop is stunning.
The staff were very efficient and friendly.
The rooms are beautifully decorated and very clean.
The breakfast had plenty of choice all very good.
Staff were so friendly and helpful with me, an English speaker. My room was cleaned and freshly stocked with coffee every day. Turn down service with chocolate at night was an additional plus. The location turned out to be perfect for the metro and many places I wanted to see. Ate my best dinner in walking distance to the hotel. I was visiting my daughter at the university and that was also convenient. As a solo female traveler, I was so thankful for how generously I was treated. I had a post dinner dessert and wine in the hotel restaurant--same lovely treatment. Would definitely return here.

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!
Très bel hotel, très bien situé, grand hall d'accueil, grande salle de petit déjeuner
Fiche Booking présente une "piscine extérieure à débordement" : rien n'indique que la piscine n'est pas chauffée !! avec cette information, je n'aurais pas réservé dans un 5*, et en plus la manière dont vous l'annonce d'une manière très évidente à l'accueil est très frustrant. Donc je ne retournerai pas dans cet hotl, il y en a pleins d'autres qui sont bien situés et qui n'ont pas de piscine. Petit déjeuner pas à la hauteur d'un 5* et personnel très variable.
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!

This is a first class hotel in a really convenient and interesting part of Barcelona. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and nothing seems too much trouble. The rooms are very well-appointed - a real pleasure to have stayed here.
I think the lovely rooftop bar and pool would be better without canned music - there's a magic to hearing the seagulls and the distant noise of the city...
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.
My friend and I came don’t stay here but we came here for some drinks and had an amazing time! Highly recommend the Cava and their cocktails. Charles took pictures for us and provided great service. I would come here again!!
Very welcoming check-in set the tone - everyone wanted to help, and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms are very well-furnished, comfortable and quiet - ours had a lovely view out over the rooftops to the sea. At the top of the hotel is an infinity pool and a cocktail area - super at sunset. It's situated in the heart of the old town - the Gothic area - with fascinating alleys and sites all in easy walking distance. The restaurant attached to the hotel was one of the best we visited in Barcelona: top-quality food and superb friendly service. We can't recommend this place too highly
