My granddaughter and I spent 4 nights at the Grand Hotel Central and loved every minute of it. The desk staff was friendly and helpful, the rooms were very hip, beds were fabulous, and the roof-top pool was icing on the cake. There were a number of restaurants nearby, and public transportation was only a block or so away. more

Just got back after a long weekend break in Barca, celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary. The City is amazing, and the hotel is in a great location for you to get the best out of your stay. If you're there for a short time, then this place is ideally situated for you to get around to all the best... more

Spent 4 nights here Mon - Fri. chose the hotel after reading the reviews from others and the pictures. The real selling point was the location and rooftop pool. Glad we chose it! stopped in 424 (city suite) which is a corner room and had 5 windows all with electric blinds. Yes as stated by others both room and halls... more

Booked an Executive Room which promised extra space and the best views. Reality was a tiny room,with horrible views, which was dark and claustrophic Only decent thing is the location, but the combination of poor lighting and black walls did nothing for me. It may be trying to be chic, but it has zero style Horrible more

A great boutique hotel; stylish and smart, but not so dark you can't see. The staff were courteous. Fantastic location just round the corner from the cathedral. I had an executive room which was clean and spacious. The minibar was inclusive in the price, and even contained non-alcoholic beer. Great rooftop pool too! more

I was so confused about which hotel to chose but finally after booking and cancelling a few others, I decided on Grand Hotel Central. We have been to Barcelona several times and we usually stay at 5 star hotels. I booked a loft room as we got a special deal for 259 euro per night. The minibar is free and... more

What a nice hotel! The location can't be any better - a block away from the Cathederal. The rooms appeared to be recently decorated - dark colors and wood, but very nice. All of the hotel employees were very friendly and helpful. I was staying at this hotel for work and it was paid for by someone else, but at... more

We stayed here during the last week of May 2008. Overall a lovely hotel and staff very friendly and helpful. The free mini bar is a welcome touch and the rooms very spacious and modern. The only fault which has made me write this review is that it is very dark in the hotel due to the rather unfortunate choice... more

Highly recommend this hotel, location was excellent for the major attractions, very close to the old city with easy walking to reach the metro & sightseeing buses. Staff were pleasant, buffet breakfast was ample. Really thought the complementary soft drink mini-bar was a welcome change. Our room faced a corner street & was very quiet. Lighting is quite subdued in... more
