...would come across as a little pretentious but this uber-cool boutique hotel manages to pull it off. The rooms are cramped, dark and frankly a dissapointment - however when you are in Bracelona, how important really is the room? The fashion shoot rooftop pool is probably this hotels best asset - apart from the staff who were awesome, always friendly,... more

This boutique hotel is fantastic - central location and great design, but for me the rooftop infinity pool makes this hotel the only place to stay in Barcelona. In the summer heat this city gets HOT, and there is nothing better than chilling out on the roof of this amazing hotel, taking in the views of the city, ordering a... more

Unfortunately we were given a room on the second floor which,although at the back, still meant we heard a considerable amount of... more

We spent a rainy and grey long weekend in September at the Grand Hotel Central and have to admit, we found the darkness of the interiors a bit depressing. But I also believe, this is a very rare condition in Barcelona and most guests will appreciate the suffused lights and the dark walls, which create a restful atmosphere. The Central... more

Perfect location for someone who wants to do sightseeing and enjoy shopping and restaurants/bars nearby. It's half a block to a metro stop, across the street from the Cathedral and its Thursday antique market, 5 minute walk to Picasso museum and the Born, and 30-45 minute walk to the beach. Sleekly designed in a minimalist sensibility. Good sized rooms --... more
