Barcelona has no end of high and low end hotels, with all points in between, and plenty of apartment rental services too. After renting a little flat for 3 nights in the heart of Tourist Land near the endlessly-crowded and noisy Gothic Quarter, I returned for one night and stayed at the Gran Derby, one of four hotels in a...

I liked it quite a lot. It's clean and very modern. Nice decor on the inside, hardwood floors, two level suite, two tv's (one downstairs, one upstairs). The only downside was the air-conditioning, too cold - might've been broken. Lot of restaurants in the area. A bit of shopping, good area although it's more of a business central rather then... More

During my work in Spain, I am being used to the Gran Derby in Barcelona since 1997. The always repeating choice does not come from simply using vacant places, cheap stuff, necessities etc. It is a long-time relationship of excellent services, trust, familal behaviour and warmness, as well as reliability. The staff of this hotel had not a high turnover... More

I was offered an upgrade upon my arrival and took it. I think this was a smart move on my part because the size and quality of the room and furnishings were appropriate to a junior suite. The bathroom (size, amenities) was a much appreciated luxury! The staff was helpful and well versed in all things Barcelona. While the restaurant... More

I have stayed twice at the Gran Derby and I have appreciated the hotel both times. Large rooms with remarkable bathroom space and if you get a room with a view facing the backyard you might get a bay window with a glimpse of the swimming pool. The only thing that could be a bit better is the breakfast. While... More
