We've recently spent three nights at this lovely hotel and we must say that it totally exceeded our expectations. The hotel is absolutely fashionable and located in a quiet central street, not far from main sightseeing.
We got a very attractive rate for a standard double room directly through the hotel website, but once at the hotel we were happy to accept a special offer they made for an upgrade to a duplex suite. This room, with huge terrace and private plunge pool, was absolutely marvelous.
Breakfast is not included but we got a 2X1 deal, this way we got our buffet breakfast for only € 17 for the two of us, which is really cheap for this type of breakfast.
The room was spotlessly cleaned every morning with turn down service every evening.
Staff is very friendly and helpful, at reception we got excellent restaurant recommendations.
We'd love to come back to the Granados83 for our next visit to Barcelona and we will definitely recommend this place to our friends.

Stayed here for 2 nights just before Xmas 2011 during which time the hotel was very well priced. The hotel is very stylish though a little older than some of the Barcelona design hotels. The general feel of the place is moody with pools of light and dark throughout. We had seen this hotel on a previous trip and were interested to see what it was like. We were not disappointed. The room was very masculine in feel with much of the furniture made from sheet steel but this is softenend by the use of exotic woods and warm exposed brick. My only criticism, and it is a minor one, is that the bathroom was a little worn in places, inparticular the marble sink had rust stains round the drain which were unpleasant.
Other than this it was a really good overall experience and I would definitely like to stay there again.

We stayed in this hotel December 24th and 25th and had an excellent experience. We got there around 8 am after an overnight flight from NYC. We were told there would be a room available in about an hour, and so they held our bags while we walked around and had breakfast. The room was incredibly quiet on the 3rd floor (facing the street), very clean and the staff was great. It's about a 15 minute walk to Sagrada Familia and a very easy subway ride (or longer walk) to the old part of the city - the subway is just a few blcoks away and easy to navigate). The staff was very helpful with directions and maps and very gracious. We had no issues with this hotel. The price was great as I don't think there were many people there at this time (but check prices as it greatly increased when I checked to see if we could book a room on January 2nd) It was a great place to land after flying into Barcelona on Christmas Eve.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at the Granados. The staff was always friendly and gracious, and helped us call ahead to confirm reservations or take care of things for us. I had read some of the other reviews and was on guard for poor service or dirty rooms, but we had nothing but positive experiences. The room was small, but nicely appointed. The Eastern art and exposed brick were trendy, though perhaps a bit 90s, but it had the feel of staying in a New York loft at a cool friend's house, which is appealing. We were happy with it for the price we paid in the low-season (check prices, because they seem to have a great deal of variation depending on when you are visiting). I was more than happy to pay for the room at the winter price, but would have been disappointed had we been paying high season rates for what we had. The location was convenient, near good restaurants, walking distance to high-end shopping, and just a few blocks from the metro - from which you can easily get to anywhere.

Downsides were the views were either a construction site from the front of the hotel, or looking back into an inner court-yard of the surrounding block complete with people hanging out their laundry. The breakfast buffet was adequate, but not astounding. The mattress was thin, particularly by luxury hotel standards. I did not like the cloying smell of the incense or fragrance they use in the lobby, made it smell like a 70's shag-pad too musky and sweet, but that's only a minor complaint. All and all well recommended for the winter, but you may want to comparison shop during the tourist season when prices get unreasonable.
