    Really good, but check if works are happening before you arrive.

    The noise levels due to some works going on underneath our bedroom was pretty dire. We couldn't really use the room for rest during late afternoon or morning due to it. Together with the roadworks, we had a less than perfect stay, which is what we expected for the price charged. It would have been nice to have been warned about this prior to arrival.

    The hotel location was superb, apart from the roadworks right outside, which were noisy, dusty and meaning that some taxis etc would not venture close. The room was lovely and the bed was extremely comfortable. Breakfast was good, with plenty of choice and lovely fresh fruit. The staff here were also excellent.

    We loved this hotel apart from the poor food selection.

    The Italian restaurant's food choice was poor and for that reason was always empty. The room service menu was also poor, you'd expect basics such as fries and a burger but it did not seem well thought through.

    The location is great, close by to many places and a Metro station that allows you to explore the city easily. There are lots of restaurants nearby and everything you need is within walking distance. The staff were amazing, from our check-in to check-out everyone we encountered was wonderful, really helpful and friendly.

    Not much to be honest! All fantastic. Only small comment was some of the finish on the room wasnt perfect - a wooden strut came off in the bathroom but think these are teething problems. And the concierge's dinner recommendation was very touristy - maybe difficult to please everyone I guess but would have been good if she had asked more questions about what we were looking for.

    Super attentive and thoughtful staff. Little details like a coffee offered while we waited for our room to be ready were lovely (we were early for check in but they worked hard to get us into our room.sooner than planned.) the terrace was amazing and the reservations for sunbeds was brilliant so no one hogged them all day. Great location and everything super new and luxurious.

    The hotel tried to cancel our booking 4 days before we travelled due to refurbishment works not being finished, however it was quickly sorted out by the reservations team.

    Everything about the hotel was excellent, we had the bigger room based on a corner with lots of windows, the shower was the best we have ever had, no pressure problems or temperature fluctuations, The roof top bar was lovely to sit and look out over the city and the food was lovely. The staff all over the hotel were very friendly and helpful, the hotel is situated just behind the Cathedral and a few minutes walk to La Rambla, a perfect location. I would highly recommend this hotel.

    There is nothing I dislike about the hotel, but the traffic works directly outside at the time of my visit were not ideal, but nothing they can do about it.

    The hotel was fantastic, very clean, excellent interior design, and had plenty of amenities. The rooftop bar being one of the best in Barcelona is a bonus. The best part for me, was the staff. Extremely attentive, but not over the top. Spoke multiple languages and treated each guest in a personal way, remembering names and room numbers, very impressive.

    It would have been great if the pool was heated. This way it could be used a few months more throughout the year. Also, a good addition to the gym would be a running machine.

    We really liked the friendly staff who have always been there for us. The rooms were modern and of a high standard. The roof top infinity pool with nice views over Barcelona is a highlight of this hotel along with the fact that the hotel is in a nice central location, so most major attractions can be easily reached.

    Expensive but lovely hotel, great location for being in the centre of Barca.
    • Business trip

    • Deluxe Corner Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    It was difficult to get to and from the Fira Grand Via. I had a bad back and did not really want to use the Metro which was a 10 minute walk away, carrying a bag each day.

    The room was a good size and very clean with a super comfortable bed. All the facilities in the room were fine and as you would expect for this level of hotel. The location was great to be in the centre of Barcelona but not so great for me as I need to get to the Fira Grand Via every day and taxis were almost impossible to get. The hotel staff were superb in try to help me with taxis.

    Hard ti improve on perfect.

    From the moment we stepped out of our taxi to the day we left the staff could not do enough for us! They were very kind, helpful and gracious l The hotel is beautiful, the bed was very comfortable with the best pillows. Breakfast selection was really great. Don't miss the hotel's top floor terrace with it's gorgeous infiniti pool and views overlooking Barcelona. Location is great, just around the corner is the magnificent Cathedral of Barcelona. We truly hated to leave but we will return, there is so much to see and do in beautiful Barcelona and Grand Hotel Central is the perfect place to stay.
