The hotel location is absolutely perfect. The staff were very knowledgeable and multilingual. The breakfast which was included with my Deihl was spectacular. The rooftop pool sitting area and a restaurant is unmatched. The bed and room were very comfy with great coffee, towels etc. Honestly, no complaints and many compliments. read more

This is where you want to stay when visiting Barcelona. And this is the only place we will stay for every future visit. They knocked it out of the park from the first minute. Check in was easy and they hurried to get our room ready since we arrived at 9 am. I think they had us in our room by noon. They brought our bags to our room and we puttered around the city but after traveling and being awake for 40 hours- we fell asleep at 7 pm. There was a knock on the door right before we got into bed and it was the concierge with a gift of figs. There were enormous complimentary water bottles next to each side of the bed. Replaced daily. Even though we fell asleep early the first night- we were on the move daily. Our bed was made daily with fresh linen and fresh towels provided. The complimentary breakfast was amazing. There are so many choices and selections ranging from fried/scrambled eggs and bacon to assortment of cheeses, mini breakfast sandwiches, assorted breads and muffins along with cookies, waffles and pancakes, yogurt, fresh fruit, cereal and more. Fresh juices and amazing coffee. Something for everyone and unlimited and ranged from 7 am to 11 am. Being new to the city- we weren't sure of the best places to eat or where we should see other than the main attractions we had pre-bought tickets for. We were given amazing recommendations and had reservations made for us. We even were given a tip to hop on a train and head to one of the coastal towns about 40 minutes outside the city. A beautiful coastal town with 9 beaches we escaped to for the day. The hotel is cleaner than any other place we have stayed- and we travel a lot. There are automatic black out blinds you can lower with a click of the switch and we have never slept so well or so late. Comfortable bed and pillows and beautiful bathroom. Stocked mini bar and fridge. We reluctantly left for the airport at 5:30 am. Not only did the front have a cab waiting for us- they packed us a breakfast bag because we wouldn't have time to eat at the hotel. A nice ham sandwich on baguette and oj, water, yogurt, breakfast bar and apple. I will miss our hotel and their amazing staff most of all. Thank you to Grand Hotel Central for everything. And- it is in the best location ever. read more

There's nothing but good things to say about this hotel. The entire staff always have a smile on their face and are always willing to help. We were checked in by Irene and were assisted to our room by Victor. Both of them were friendly, professional, and polite. The rest of the staff were equally amazing, I just forgot their names. My apologies. Although there wasn't any junior suite available at the time of our check-in, we were given a corner room, which was perfect. The toiletries and linens were luxurious (The only issue I had was with the lotion. It curdled. I don't know what's up with that) I found the bed very comfortable for my back. It was somewhat firm. The room was a good size. The bathroom; acceptable size as well, although it would've been better if we had a separate shower. It's not a big deal, nevertheless. They have a turn down service. And of course, bottled water every day for elite members. We had a tiny issue with the lights because of all the mix and matching of the lights switch. It was so confusing that we couldn't get the hallway light to turn on. But thanks to the assistance of one of the staff, it was sorted out right away. The rooftop bar and infinity pool are epic. Too bad, I only got to see it during the daytime (because we spent our days exploring the city that we forgot about the hotel). The view up top is probably spectacular in the evening. Complimentary breakfast every day (for elite members) at Bistro Helena was satisfying. We had to skip a couple, though, due to our hectic schedule. If I were to visit Barcelona again, this would definitely be at the top of my list. Highly recommended! read more

I stayed at this hotel for about a week during my stay at Barcelona, and I absolutely loved every second of it. I remember the first day I checked in. I decided to walk 1-2 miles from my previous hotel near La Sagrada Familia all the way to the gothic quarter (where Grand Hotel is located). Halfway thru the hike, I realized I made a terrible mistake, especially considering that I was lugging my heavy backpack and a suitcase.. WITH a Fanny pack AND an FC Barca jersey on (can not get more touristy). After 40+ minutes of walking, I made it. Sweating and heaving as I walked in the door. The staff immediately greeted me with cold water and an espresso. The building itself is a beautiful old renovated building with marble staircases, a nice lounge area, and a cozy restaurant. After I checked in, the staff escorted me to my room and explained all the features and offered recommendations. The location of this place is amazing - I could see the Barcelona cathedral outside my window. And I was right in the heart of the historic gothic quarter, what a beautiful place. The room itself was huge - large windows, big bed, tall ceilings, a powder room, and a large bathroom area. Everything was super modern and clean. The rooftop bar is pretty awesome too. It's a bit small for the size of the hotel, especially the infinity pool. But the vibes are phenomenal. Good music, good food, good people. I wish the pool stayed open past 7PM, would be nice to go for a late night dip! Awesome place - made my trip very memorable. 5/5 read more

Wow this is the best hotel I have ever stayed at. And I have stayed at a lot of at first I was a little anxious due to the construction but they are the most accommodating hotel I have ever encountered. They checked us in even though we had just booked minutes before at like 1 in the morning. I booked a suite but they did not have it but they were able to accommodate and I was very grateful I don't even care how much the room cost. At the end of the stay I got a flat tire and they were able to check me out at 2:30 which is unheard AND I forgot my shoes and they sent me this email stating they would ship them. My experience was jadropping and I NEVER LEAVE REVIEWS BUT I JUST HAD TO LEAVE THIS for this hotel. Not to mention how nice staff was if you're thinking of staying here and thinking the price is high it'll be worth it !! read more

Grand Central is not only in a great location, but overall a great hotel and experience. The service was excellent. Everyone was very attentive and pleasant to talk to. The rooms were clean and housekeeping did a great job for both normal room cleaning and turn down service. The amenities of the rooftop bar, fitness center, and lobby restaurant are all and worth a visit and nice to have on premises. Both Bistro Helena and Skybar drinks were delicious. We would definitely recommend someone staying there. Perfect for walking to La Rambla, nearby neighborhoods, and then coming back to relax in comfortable and clean room with great service and amenities. read more

Great hotel, terrific staff, amazing location. Great rooftop bar and pool. Unfortunately during my stay, constantly rained so it was closed.

Pros - Very clean/well maintained Friendly, helpful staff - found us a wheelchair at no charge; ran one block to find us a taxi during a busy time Great views at rooftop bar/pool Good housekeeping staff - rms were well equiped; nicely cleaned each am Great location - convenient to cafes/pharmacy/bars/taxis/markets/shopping Three elevators Blackout curtains in bedrooms Very comfortable bedding/linens Cons - Rooftop area is on the small side Reserved chairs at pool make it hard to find seats because of empty reserved lounge chairs, even signage states no reserving allowed Hard to get ice Poor drainage in room sinks/showers read more

My friend and I came here on a trip from the U.S. Staff - The staff are very helpful and pleasant. I got assistance from the front desk and concierge getting tips and info. They also helped us scheduling cabs at set times. Housekeeping was great too. I am messy and they organized my stuff. They replenished items too such as bottled water, Godiva chocolate square, towels, and complimentary toiletries. The last night of our stay we discovered they came back a second time in the same day after 8 pm. Location - The hotel is nearby restaurants and markets about 10 mins. to the Hop On Hop Off tour buses. There are also common chain like Starbucks and Burger King a few blocks away. It is nearby the cathedral so at certain times the bell will go off. Amenities - It has a gym and lounge/infinity pool on the roof. Check it out, beautiful view overlooking the city. The hotel offers free wifi but it was spotty. My connection was intermittent. Room - It is small if you are sharing with a travel partner. They have two twin size beds that are pushed together. The bathroom is separated by a curtain from the bed area. If you are a light sleeper and someone is getting ready in the bathroom it wakes you up. Behind the curtain is the sink and a small closet. Then a sliding door with the toilet and shower behind it. I'm not sure if I liked the room layout. The walls were also thin and I could hear our neighboring guests' tv and laughing. Also if you like to sleep in late and are a light sleeper housekeeping comes around early and you can hear them cleaning. One last note, if you are from another country, you will need to bring a travel universal adapter as the outlet in Spain may be different than your country's. read more

This small boutique hotel is very well located in the Gothic district. Easy walking access to restaurants, shops and bars. The hotel is very clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend this hotel and I plan on staying here again when I return to Barcelona. The restaurant inside the hotel has excellent food and service, so upon arrival no need to trek out. Just eat a light meal in the lobby and then return to your room for a good nights sleep. read more

Grand Hotel Central is a beautiful upscale hotel in the perfect location of Barcelona for walking & site seeing. My husband & I stayed here before a cruise we boarded in Barcelona, and we were truly treated like royalty. We were greeted with a welcome drink and taken care of immediately with early check in. The rooms are very nice, spacious & clean. The staff is truly awesome. One can not beat the location of this hotel. You can catch the "hop on, hop off" bus just diagonal from the hotel, as well as walk to the Arch & Barcelona cathedral. There are many restaurants & shops shops near by as well as a great restaurant right in the hotel lobby. It was also only about a 15 minute walk to the Columbus monument & Guiell Palace. As for the hotel itself, i also want to mention the luxurious robes in the room. I would have loved to take one of those home with me! Our room also came with slippers and a feee mini bar with a few beers, chips, orange juice & water. I am not sure if the mini bar was a free perk to our credit card, or if it is for all guests, but it was nice to have at no cost to us. Right before dinner, the maid knocked on the door and brought us a tiny plate with two fresh macaroons on it... what a cue and delicious little pre dinner treat! The best thing about Grand Hotel Central is the rooftop bar & infinity pool. It has an amazing view of the city, even beautiful at night. I highly recommend checking out the roof top for a dip in the pool and a drink at night. I would absolutely recommend this hotel to travelers going to Barcelona. It is very expensive, but worth the money in my opinion! Thank you to Grand Hotel Central for a great experience in Barcelona! We will return. read more

We loved our stay at this beautiful boutique hotel in Barcelona. It's central to shops and restaurants which is nice since the city is very walkable.

I love the cool boutique vibe of the place, located just a few blocks from the cathedral. And did you see the pool on the roof?! There is no better way to recover from a long day in the city than with a drink and dip in the pool. The room was a bit small, but not unusual for a major city in Europe. It was very comfortable and well appointed: overall, a first rate hotel in the center of the city. read more

Great location. Walking distance to restaurants and shops. The checkin was seamless and they were very accommodating with getting us a room at 9am despite the 2pm checkin time. Room was decent size with normal king size bed. Not 2 twins pushed together as I experienced elsewhere. Free drinks and snacks in the room. Coming in at 9am, I was so pleased to be able to take a nap in an extremely comfortable bed. Once we lowered the black out shades, room was perfectly pitched black!! Decent well equipped gym for its small size. We had an early flight and didn't get to try the breakfast. But had a coffee and tea in the adjoining cafe - great service. Will stay here again the next time I'm in Barcelona. read more

Very central, really nice location and all major sites are in walking distance. Try to get the rooms at the rear of the hotel as it is less noisy. Stuff is very friendly and speak English if needed. Wifi is provided and pass code allows up to two devices and 24 hours cost 5€. The hotel does not only have a superb restaurant which starts serving at 20.30 but also has a cafe/bar. Be aware though that can be booked for private functions. One thing I am not a favourite of is the nespresso machine coffee. I prefer "real" coffee. Definitely recommend read more

We enjoyed our stay at Grand Hotel Central. The concierge service was very helpful with booking us two dinners during our stay. The front desk was wonderful with tips and directions. The bellmen were awesome with getting us cabs and sending us in the right direction. We felt we were treated so well during our stay. The rooms are more typical of a 3.5-4 star hotel. Loved the location!!! read more

In my 1000 nights of hotel stays, this must be one of the absolute worst hotels I've ever had the displeasure of staying at, and having just checked in from the W Barcelona it's like putting salt on a wound. Literally feeling the pain right now. Let's start with the accommodations. The king bed is 2 twins smashed together and held with 2 cables. The bedding is thin enough that you actually FEEL the cables. The sheets are stained. The bathroom does not have a scale. The TV is so old that it takes 30+ seconds to turn on-- and this is not a joke, the bellhop even told me before hand because they must get so many complaints about the TV not working. The phone suffers from the same problem because you have to press a number and wait 2 seconds for it to dial it. Press again and so on. All services require 4 numbers at this hotel, so plan to wait. The phone further is so old that it crackles and sound cuts in and out. Please note that this is an upgraded room and I'm paying 400 Euros per night for it. The room overlooks the street and you can hear the street noise all day and night. This is Barcelona. There is no view though, so it's not like you're gaining one for the other. But the most insulting thing was the room service. I ordered a Caesar salad. The salad they brought had no cheese, no croutons, no romaine, no anchovies, and no Caesar dressing. Instead I got mixed greens with oil and vinegar. When I queried the hotel staff about the discrepancy between this a garden salad and a Caesar salad, I was told this is what they have... This is their Caesar salad. When I requested that they instead inform guests that they don't have this type of salad, it's a garden salad, the room service staff became quite defensive and belligerent. In the end they removed the charges, but the damage had been done. I will not be returning to this location ever again. Stay here at your own peril. read more

At night we could walk to a wonderful local neighborhood around the corner with lots of very good restaurants. The only things that I did not like was the room was a little dark in decor, if you know what I mean, dark color walls. Not a big deal! A hidden gem if you ask me! Loved it! read more

My new wife and I were booked at another boutique hotel not far from here for a 4 night stay. We were on the second week of a two week honeymoon in Spain and by this point we really needed a break from the tiny boutique hotels of Europe. All the sight-seeing had caught up to us and arriving in the heart of bustling Barcelona on night one was an overwhelming experience. The first hotel was that typical Europen boutique hotel providing a tiny room overlooking a dark alleyway with people's laundry hung up throughout. "Charming" would probably be the best way to describe this hotel room. After spending half a day in Barcelona, I started yelping for a more upscale place to stay- this was our honeymoon after all and we desperately needed an upgrade. Grand Hotel Central turned out to be the perfect choice. Sandrine at the front desk was incredibly accommodating when two Americans walked in saying they had no reservations but would like a great room for the next 3 nights. She not only got us a great room but she was able to find a reasonable rate as well. We loved the room, the hotel felt modern and inviting at the same time. Best of all there was an infinity pool on the roof with gorgeous views of Barcelona! All in all, I think this is a great place to stay for first timers in Barcelona who want to stay central to the heart of the city but also want to escape within a nice hotel when necessary. read more

They have 5 stars, although I would describe them as good 4. Modern and elegant boutique hotel. Located in the very center of Barcelona, between the Gothic district close Cathedral and "el Born" district. It's a walking distance to all Barcelona main attractions: Las Ramblas, Placa Catalunya, Born district, shopping and even the beach. A little bit far from Sagrada Familia, but that one is far itself. The rooms are cozy, comfortable, spacious and contemporary decorated with a huge mirror standing on the floor. The mattress is soft and disposes to a good night sleep. Good that they have nice electric blinds and shutters, that help you to stay asleep after the sunrise. Bathrobes and slippers. From the infinity roof top swimming pool you can enjoy the greatest view, see the sunset and even the sea. It's really spectacular to observe the living city. By the way, the pool is pretty small itself, but after a walk around the town it's a pleasure to stay there for a while, relax and forget the chaos of big city downstairs. Buffet breakfast downstairs at the restaurant, not till 10 or 10:30am, but till 11:30am and till 12pm on Sunday. Lunch and dinner are served in their restaurant too, delicious Mediterranean cuisine. 24 hours room service, bar and a Sky bar at the roof top pool. Gym is pretty small as far as I remember, just a couple of cardio machines, kinesis and a space to stretch or short exercise. But enjoy your run along the beach, it's pretty close. You can get a massage too. They don't have SPA, but offer something like a Thermal suite that you should book in advance. We haven't tried it. When staying in Barcelona we always have other priorities and no time for massage at the hotel. They don't have their own parking, nor valet. That's a bummer if you have a car. They give you special rate to park in the close garage next to Cathedral. Still, it's not convenient go somewhere, if you have luggage with you. Free Wi-Fi. read more

What a wonderful way to start our vacation. Upon our arrival we were greeted with graciousness and helpfulness. We felt very welcome and comfortable. Concierge got us into great restaurants, when the ones we wanted were booked. Got us Picasso Museum tickets so we didn't have to wait an hour in line. Our teen daughters Iphone got kicked into the pool (long story), but the man working at the pool bar, literally ran and got us rice to put her phone in. Had to leave his bar to help us. Just overall very kind, friendly staff...I would highly recommend this hotel. Plus we like modern, cool "W" type hotels. In a great location as well. read more

Positive - great location and central to everything. The most helpful member of the staff here was the door man. He was awesome. Great recommendations on where to eat and how to get to places. Now the rest of the story - room was tiny for the price. Heard water or toilet flushing all night long. The concierge- on the rude and abrupt side but i attribute that to the fact that he is the only one and over worked. I have stayed at smaller hotels with 2 in service 24x7. read more

Cinco astras (five stars). Five stars for the service and staff. Five stars for the location. Five stars for the hotel itself. But I must give three stars for the rooms. The rooms are beautiful, however they are too trendy for their own good. They choose form over function in a big way. They have tiny little night stands just big enough for a little lamp, but absolutely no room to put ones personal items (watch, wallet, etc.). The bathroom was also beautiful and ultra-modern, but no basic, practical little touches like a hook or two to hang your towels on. All this aside, the Hotel Grand Central is an excellent choice for a visit to Barcelona. It's right in the heart of the action, close to Las Ramblas, great restaurants (like Arcaro, only 100 meters away), the cathedral is just across the street, and there's an excellent indoor food market right around the corner. High marks to the well trained staff who were able to help with tickets, transportation, and advice for first time visitors to the city. The rooftop bar and infinity-edge pool are spectacular, but unfortunately the weather prevented us from using those amenities. It must be a great spot on a nice summer evening. If you are looking for a great hotel in a great location, you will not be disappointed in the Hotel Grand Central. Gracias again to the wonderful staff for making my stay memorable! read more

I don't often review hotels but I have to say this is the worst experience I've had in 20 years. For a $400 euro a night fee I feel that I'm overpaying by 300. The hotel reminds me of a Marriott I stayed in in the late 90s. The wifi service is horrible. The fact that I constantly get disconnected and don't have enough band width to load images on social networking constantly. At the sky bar on the roof the food was horrible and not as described. As an example The chips with salsa were lays chips with a drizzle of sour cream, guacamole, and a chili sauce. I'm not sure where that qualifies as salsa. The bed is rather uncomfortable, and even though I'm on the 5th flood street noise is audible at all times of the day. I would recommend staying away from the room service as well. What they deliver doesn't match the expectation set by the name of the item and the best thing I can say about it was the flavor was at most bland. The only positive thing I can say is the hotel is centrally located. Tomorrow I will gladly go to a different hotel. read more

Just got off a cruise ship that set sail from Rio De Janeiro to Barcelona. The cruise ship line Oceania made a reservation for us to spend four nights at the Grand Hotel Central, which my wife and I had never heard of! Uh Oh, that could be dangerous. Let me tell you that this has been without a doubt the best hotel experience that my wife and I have ever experienced out of all the great hotels that we have been privileged to stay at. Fantastic location in the middle of downtown Barcelona within walking distance of any and everything that you could possibly visit in four days. But what really mattered to us the most was the true quality of service that we experienced from the entire staff from the time we arrived until the time we left. The bartendress Emily, in the main bar and lounge was one of the most delightful and professional servers that I have ever encountered. She was truly a delight to be around. The sky bar staff was equally diligent and was very attentive to our every need. They made us feel like we were the only guests there. Isn't that how it's supposed to work? Let me tell you, it certainly worked that way for us when we were there. I seriously can't imagine anybody experiencing anything less that what we experienced there and we will be there again without a doubt the next time we come back to visit the lovely city of Barcelona. Adios mi amigos y mi amigas. We love you. read more

I would recommend coming here for the Sky Bar. We did not stay at the hotel but the employee was nice enough to let us eat the Sky Bar even through we weren't residents( not sure this is common for most cases. ) The view was amazing! The pool was also beautiful. The food was pretty good. We ordered the Cheese Plate, Caprese Sandwich, and Side Salad. DO NOT order the side salad if you are expecting lettuce and veggies and dressing. It is a scallop/tuna/fish salad. Was great, just ordered 1 wrong thing. Everything else was good read more

Stayed 3 nights in a deluxe room. This hotel is good - no doubt about that. Excellent staff are a highlight. Rooms are pleasant, clean, reasonably well appointed. Bafflingly limited mini bar. Bed quite hard and unyielding. Synthetic pillows not to my taste but replaced immediately with feather ones. Efficient and quiet A/C. Sky Bar is another highlight but 16 Euros for a cocktail is a bit eye watering; I suppose it keeps the crowds away. City Bar was really quite good. Breakfast buffet also good but blighted by Nespresso (rather than fresh) coffee which is never hot I find. Would have avoided breakfast on the grounds of high cost were it not included in our deal. Would give 4 stars but the road noise in our 3rd floor room was a killer (slept very badly), and it's really expensive. read more
