Recent guest reviews

The rooftop bar and pool were fantastic. The wifi was not always working. Rooms were very small but staff was congenial and helpful.

Good location. The staff were excellent and made traveling with a baby manageable. Breakfast at the hotel was excellent and free minibar was a pleasant surprise. Rooftop pool is small but clean with nice panoramic view of Barcelona.

Wonderful! Staff are all gracious and accommodating!

The ultimate in style, service, and comfort. Perfect situated in the heart of the city. The rooftop infinity pool, alone, makes it wellbworth the price.

Can you tell we liked this hotel? Seriously, when I booked it, I read the reviews with people raving about the service, so I came in with high expectations and they were exceeded. From the moment we got out of our cab we were treated like royalty. We never had to wait for a thing. Our bags were immediately whisked inside and then up to our room once we checked in. We were upgraded at check-in and received a welcome glass of cava me and a water for mu daughter. The staff was super friendly, the concierge (I wish I remembered his name--he was Greek and his name started with an H.) was amazingly helpful and Fadunco was terrific and just made us smile. The rooftop lounge was lovely and the pool was heated and warm. I would go back to Barcelona just to stay at the Grand Hotel Central again. It was busy when we checked out, and Jaime, the manager, was keeping an eye on things to ensure we were waited on as quickly as possible. Gracias for making us feel so welcome!

Fabulous experience from check-in to check out. Great location and attention to details. Champagne check in. When I had ATM troubles and needed cash they quickly provided cash and applied to our hotel account. The staff recognized and addressed us each day when arriving and leaving from our daily adventures. Would definitely stay there again.

The staff is professional and very helpful (especially Marta) the rooms are large and the roof top pool is wonderful. Great location in the Historic Gothic Section of the city near the waterfront.

The Customer service is excellent! We were there for 4 Nights. They took care of all the details. They helped us book our Sightseeing and Dinner. Concierge service is excellent and They understood our needs and helped us out.

Absolutely loved our three night stay! The staff was very friendly, the infinity pool was amazing and it's in a great location. We are actually coming back for one more night in Barcelona and decided to stay here again.

The room is very small. The bathroom has no door and is so close to the bed that there's absolutely no privacy. On the plus side, the room is clean and has all the amenities.
