Lovely centrally located hotel. But don't go if you suffer from S.A.D. unfortunately style rules. Grey corridors with grey door and awful lighting in the room, you'll wish you had got a torch. Great in the day! Get up on the roof and see the pool and great view more

...would come across as a little pretentious but this uber-cool boutique hotel manages to pull it off. The rooms are cramped, dark and frankly a dissapointment - however when you are in Bracelona, how important really is the room? The fashion shoot rooftop pool is probably this hotels best asset - apart from the staff who were awesome, always friendly,... more

This boutique hotel is fantastic - central location and great design, but for me the rooftop infinity pool makes this hotel the only place to stay in Barcelona. In the summer heat this city gets HOT, and there is nothing better than chilling out on the roof of this amazing hotel, taking in the views of the city, ordering a... more

We loved this hotel, in particular the location and the friendly and helpful staff. The rooms were large and beautifully decorated. Lovely rooftop pool, good restaurant and well equipped gym. We got great tips from the staff for restaurants and nothing was too much trouble.We would recommend this hotel without hesitation. more

We are delighted that we chose to stay in such a fabulous hotel. It is trendy without being impersonal and the little extras like the free goodies in the mini bar were much appreciated. Rooms are a good size and the bed comfortable. Its location is within easy reach of the harbour, la seu and the old town. We enjoyed... more

The staff were all great especially the manager, who helped us greatly when we had to report my husbands wallet being stolen, more about that later. We stayed in a club room which was beautiful, the bed... more

I have just returned from a short break with my daughter and this hotel is made great by the great staff. Having read the reviews on this forum we requested a room at the back to alleviate noise. Unfortunately we were given a room on the second floor which,although at the back, still meant we heard a considerable amount of... more

We spent a rainy and grey long weekend in September at the Grand Hotel Central and have to admit, we found the darkness of the interiors a bit depressing. But I also believe, this is a very rare condition in Barcelona and most guests will appreciate the suffused lights and the dark walls, which create a restful atmosphere. The Central... more

Perfect location for someone who wants to do sightseeing and enjoy shopping and restaurants/bars nearby. It's half a block to a metro stop, across the street from the Cathedral and its Thursday antique market, 5 minute walk to Picasso museum and the Born, and 30-45 minute walk to the beach. Sleekly designed in a minimalist sensibility. Good sized rooms --... more
