Great location in the gothic quarter, a stone’s throw from lots of the sights and the waterfront. Room was small but very well equipped. Great blackout blinds. Well designed space for storage. Public areas are lovely, especially the roof terrace and pool - very welcome after a day of tramping the streets. Staff attentive and knowledgeable

Staff was very nice and helpful. Rooftop pool and bar is great.
Hari, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

They start your stay with a complimentary champagne. The rooftop bar/restaurant with the infinity pool over looking downtown Barcelona was worth a visit. They also gave us a complimentary bottle of Cava wine to enjoy with our dinner along with the room upgrade. One of the best breakfast buffet in all of Europe hotels I have stayed in. The staff we're all awesome. Loved the turn down service specially the little treats they leave for the guests.
MARIE, 3-night trip

This hotel has a great customer service, amazing food and a great location!
Zaraith, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a gorgeous, upscale property with all modern amenities and a helpful staff. The rooms were beautiful and well-appointed.
WENDY, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel was clean & the room was decently sized with comfortable bedding and plenty of clean towels/robes. There was never a shortage of staff around and everyone that we encountered was super helpful and friendly. There did seem to be some confusion with the organization system for the pool bed reservations. I'd recommend reserving the day before if there is a time you are thinking you may want to go. It's definitely worth spending some time up there if you're looking for a mid-day break to your activities. Great views and plenty of sun up there.

This hotel is excellent. Great location close to the seafront about 15-20 minutes walk, center for shopping and nightlife, bars and all transport links. The staff were amazing, super friendly and helpful. The rooftop pool and bar is a great place to relax with nice food and drinks at reasonable prices. Quality rooms and facilities, highly recommended for anyone coming to Barcelona especially if it's for the first time. Thank you all at Grand Central Hotel for your hospitality.
