The Hotel is situated within easy walking distance of the City Centre. It is clean and the staff are helpful and polite. The rooms are good, clean, and functional. The only downside is that the hotel is situated right over the Metro and the trains can be heard and felt throughout the night. That being said we slept well and... More

My mum and i arrived in Barcelona from Venice. After taking the AEROBUS to Placa Universitat we found the hotel within 5 minutes walking distance. You would miss the entrance to the hotel if you are not looking. The Hotel staff were pleasant. The hotel is modern and clean. Our room was on the 1st floor and we had a... More

We spent 6 nights at the gran ronda hotel in barcelona, on september 2011. We stayed on the 5th floor, facing the back of the hotel (not the street). The location was very good (close to public transportation and by foot to all the main attractions), in a quiet and clean area. There were about 3 supermarkets very close and... More

Location was acceptably close to the key site seeing locations eg main tourist bus start points, Las Ramblas, Catalunya Square, and restaurants. Room was fairly spacious, simple and uncluttered, with a good quality bathroom. Tiny balcony on to the street which was noisy however the double glazing did a good job of suppressing this. University Metro stop is about 100m,... More

Nice hotel. Good location for everything. The room was small but it was clean and nice. One strange receptionist who tried to charge us for breakfast that we never had and didn't believe us when we said we hadn't eaten there at all and she then called in the restaurant manager to identify us and when she realised she had...

If you are looking for a plain, nothing special, bland hotel-Gran Ronda is fine. But if you want something more then just a bed, look elsewhere. First we arrived at 10am before any other guests and we told to return by 2pm. We returned by 1:30 and we were last of all those guests waiting to get our room because... More

Nice clean hotel. Central but not on the buisiess streets. Close enough to Plaza Catalunia to walk there. Been here a few times. Will recomend if in buisiness. More

Good location, adequate price We stayed 1 night on beginning of June. The price was 75 EUR for twin-bed room. The hotel is located close (3 min walk) to metro station Universitat. Famous Rambla Boulevard is 10-15 min walking form the hotel. Another Barcelona's “blockbuster” – Casa Ballo is also located not far from the hotel – about 20 min... More

This hotel was overpriced and uncomfortable. Spartan room, broken shower, uncomfortable beds, noisy from street and subway. Rooms were smoking rooms, even though non-smoking rooms were requested. Even worse were the neighboring guests who parited between rooms until 5:30am. Calls to the desk went unanswered. Front desk staff was not empowered to make any decisions - or they chose not... More
