Wonderful hotel and staff
We had a fantastic stay at Grand Hotel Central. There was construction work just outside of the hotel so it was a bit harder to get to, but inside the hotel, the construction noise never bothered us. We could barely hear anything which means the insulation at the hotel is very good. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. They took good care of us from the check-in all the way to check-out. The rooms were clean and well-equipped. The couple of times we hang out at the rooftop bar, the staff kept bringing us with complimentary food and drinks. I wish we had more time at this hotel. We will definitely stay again when we are back in Barcelona.

I just wanted to say what great staff you have. Easy and friendly check in for sure. But mostly it was my Hotel Concierge . . JUAN !! He arranged first class and hard to get soccer tickets. Juan was spot on when he recommended a perfect new night life spot . . and was the perfect host at Grand Hotel. Make sure he gets this acknowledgment in his inbox. Thanks, Wade Stock

Very well situated. Beautiful property - main level, room, and rooftop pool. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Loved the whole thing. Can’t wait for the restaurant on main floor to open. Of note, there was quite a bit of roadwork being done on road outside. It made it challenging to get cabs.

The hotel is conveniently located and the rooms are great. The one drawback of the concierge is never around and the hotel staff while helpful Are not in the position to do that job. Information we were given was incorrect and conflicting. The concierge arrived at noon. Left at 5. So we never were around for them. A big problem especially if it’s your first time.

Great place to stay near the Gothic quarter. After a long day of sightseeing it was the perfect place to relax in the pool and enjoy the rooftops views. Rooms were a great size. Beds were very comfortable. Everyone who worked there was very friendly and accommodating!
