“Great location! Free Internet!”

The location couldn't be better: a metro station just across the street and a couple of blocks from Plaça de Catalunya e La Rambla. Free Internet was also a great plus. Breakfast was great, but it could be a little less expensive (no problems, you can find tons of places to have your breakfast just next door). Air conditioning was disabled because it was still spring, which was unfortunate because we got 80+ degrees in late April.

“I would go back”

The hotel was clean, quiet, and near metro. We arrived at the train station and it was an easy metro ride to the hotel.The staff speak English quite well.

“Well-Run Hotel in Near-Ideal Location”

We checked in 28 June 2006 for six nights, having reserved on Expedia. Everything was in order upon arrival and the room was just as expected, based on the pictures on Expedia. We had requested a non-smoking room and there was no trace of smoke in our room. The room was immaculate upon arrival and was kept in good shape for our entire stay. Laundry service was perfect, with one-day turnaround and no hassles. Our room was in back and was very quiet. At times, we heard a little noise from next door, but nothing really significant. The only fault I could find with the room was that there was no in-room control of the air-conditioning. It ran (quietly) 24 hours a day and kept the room cool -- too cool according to my wife, who had to pile on blankets at night. It would have been nice to be able to turn the A/C off, but everything is centrally controlled. Breakfast was OK, but I was happier walking a block or so to an outdoor cafe on Passeig Gracia. The location is near-perfect for a tourist. You are about 3 blocks from Placa Catalunya, the center of Barcelona. Las Ramblas is another long block away. We preferred walking on Passeig Gracia and La Rambla de Catalunya, which start 1 or 2 blocks from the hotel. Also, there is excellent bus service, with stops very close to the hotel, and will take you right to Mont Juic and other attractions. Highly recommended, unless you are bothered by too much air conditioning.

“Charming Hotel”

The hotel is good, clean and bufet breakfast is quite good too. Hotel building is fantastic, you will love it.

“Gran Via”

My wife, daughter and I stayed here for two nights. The hotel was very pleasant, the staff helpful and friendly and the room was very comfortable with a nice bath/shower and comfortable beds. Our room had air conditioning although not all do. We were at the back looking into a central courtyard so there was little noise despite it being on the main street. Very well positioned for all the main attractions and the metro/tube. A small point is that the hotel is on the left of the street as you drive in to Barcelona from the C31 NOT the right as indicated by the pin on the expedia map, as the street is eight lanes wide with tree lined walkways it was about half an hour before we noticed the mistake.

“Excellent choice for Barcelona; great location, good value, and very cute and charming.”

I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Barcelona for leasure. The location was very convenient, right in the center and walking distance to everything. The rooms are very well kept and comfortable. Hotel staff speaks English, which was great. And the best - the mini bar is very affordable ;)

“Great location, beautiful place, good price!!”

We were looking for a good location, good price for 3 rooms (7 people) and this hotel was perfect. The upstairs courtyard was beautiful, the rooms were very nice, free internet - no complaints at all. We got a recommendation for a great restaurant close by and we were within easy walking distance of shopping, Las Ramblas, and the open top tour bus. Best of all was the good value for the price.

“Great mix of classy quality and value”

Is about 3 short blocks from where airport buses drop passengers in the heart of Barcelona. Classical decor and staff with pleasing personalities who try to help.

“Great Value City Hotel”

Excellent location for all the cities amenities, Metro ,Tourist Buses, Gaudi,s Houses shops ,bars restarants are on the doorstep . Rooms are spotlessly clean with comfortable beds the bath being 1/2 sized only allowed you to soak certain parts of your anatamony on a rota systemn!!!!! I rather liked the walk in wardrobe with the automatic light this housed the safety deposit box well worth piece of mind for a small daily fee. Hotel staff were very polite and when approached are willing to help with any requests left luggage after check out was a god send allowing a few hours of sight seeing and a lovely tapas lunch to be hassle free at Resturant QU QU 300 yards from the Granvia this is worth a visit food and service both excellant both day & night . We had a quiet room over looking the courtyard so a goods nights sleep was appreciated not sure if you would get this if you were at the front of the Hotel as this would overlook an extremley busy four lane road. We would not hesitate to return to the GRANVIA and would recommend this hotel to others who like to be just a little removed from the hustle and bustle of the Las Ramblas and some of the other nightspots but having the option to get there easily if you so wished.
