Great location in the heart of old city. Terrific breakfast buffet and helpful front desk. Housekeeping not great. No tissues in room or ice machines anywhere. Only one large towel per person and when I requested an extra for my granddaughter who has thick long hair and prefers a separate towel for hair, head housekeeper refused.

We were so happy this was our hotel for the 8 nights of our 9 nights in Barcelona. Our room was spacious and very clean. The best part of our room though may have been the small balcony overlooking the front street. Our daily late afternoon ritual was to sit out there to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the action on the street below as we rested from our busy days. Hotel staff were all so professional and friendly. The hotel location is perfect too. Walkable to almost everything. Metro stations nearby for getting to places further away. Buffet breakfast was worth it. Food was good and it was so nice to not have to find a restaurant first thing every morning. The only negative was the lack of sound proofing between rooms. We could, and did every night, hear our neighbors talking, snoring, and unzipping their suitcases! We were on the 1st floor so the street noise was quite intense throughout the night too. But we each used ear plugs and were able to have decent sleeps most nights. Would recommend staying on a higher floor or at the back of the hotel to reduce street noise if you are a light sleeper. For us though, I don't think we'd have changed a thing because we loved the city bustle outside our room. I would stay here again if I ever go back to Barcelona.

Positive: Very friendly staff, spacious room, comfortable matress and pillow, very clean and tidy. Ideal spot, in walking distance of basic must see city highlights.Negative: Restoration work took place next to our room, resulting to intensive noise during rest hour one day out of the four we stayed... Never had that experience before. When complained to the reception, they proposed changing room the next day, but it was our departure date. Also, blind windows that made it difficult to understand the difference between morning and night.

This hotel is definitely a three star. The location is great with only a 2 minute walk from the Metro, which was excellent for getting around the city. The room was basic but clean, and the beds were comfortable. Double-glazed windows were excellent in keeping out the very noisy street. Good restaurants and shops nearby. On the negative side, the complimentary toiletries were a little stingy and could be better. The breakfast is worth paying the extra and there was a good range of food to choose from.

No Kleenex, no coffee or tea in the room, no table, very small tv screen, no liquid soap just a very small round soap bar and on top not even a smile at the front desk. You can easily find better along a highway anywhere in the world.

Pros: Good location, access to the major walking points and restaurants, a tiny balcony that overlooks kinda gothic streets. Cons: The rooms look dated and so does the items inside the room. Too much bedding provided with not enough storage to put them aside if you don't want to use them. Bothersome: There was a foul smell emanating from the bathroom in the morning hours, luckily dissipated when the door was kept open.

Turned air-conditioner off the 2nd day of our 4 days stay. This was "seasonal function (OCT 8, 2022)" that is stated nowhere in their information or told us when we checked in the hotel. We asked the front desk to get the AC running and when we returned, they told us the owner had it turned off and there was nothing they could do. We spent the night with no AC and checked out 2 days early and was told by the front desk that they couldn't give us a credit on our credit cards, but our card would issue the credits. Put a dispute of 50% of the charge with the card. Gran Hotel denied the disputed amount... DO NOT STAY HERE

We appreciate your time to write your impressions. We apologize for the inconvenience with the air conditioning. It is centralized and is activated automatically with the change of season, taking into account the unusual high temperatures of the last few days, it was hotter than usual for this time of year in Barcelona. Any issue of charges must be resolved with our reservations department, reserve@gargallohotels.es We look forward to welcoming you back to our hotels. Anna Ruiz. Customer service

Booked for one night before a cruise. Well positioned - once booked in went out for a walk around the Gothic Quarter. Stayed in room 504 Good value It was the perfect size for two of us. Had all the amenities you could need. And an amazing terrace. It was beautiful to be able to go and sit outside in the morning before breakfast. I would have happily stayed there for longer. No restaurant facilities other than breakfast. But you are in the centre of hundreds of restaurants so it is not a negative Breakfast was good, staff were efficient and the perfect start to the day Check in and out was smooth. Had no reason to contact reception for anything else during our stay. When we return to Barcelona we will be staying there again and requesting the same room

Unfortunately, due to a flightless strike in France, we were unable to travel. Despite our description of the situation, the hotel was in no way willing to accommodate us. we only asked to give us the opportunity to arrive three weeks later. We have been traveling around the world for years. Even because of Corona we couldn't go on a trip (without travel cancellation insurance), there was always a concession. This behavior is absolutely unfriendly and inflexible. In my opinion, the hotel does not attach much importance to tourist friendliness. Therefore not recommended
