I just don't understand the bad reviews. I have stayed all over the world in some of the finest hotels and am a fairly harsh critic. I must say we loved the Grand Marina Hotel. Our room was fabulous, large and beautiful decor (I'm an interior designer so this is always of great importance). I only wish the outlook (view) was better. The balconies overlook an interior courtyard of the complex (no water views) or city view with slight water views of the port. The location is wonderful for touring the city and I had no problems what-so-ever with any of the staff, they were always helpful and friendly . The restaurant was quite lovely and the food was good. As far as the beds, they were quite comfortable (where did the people who complained sleep...the chaise lounge?) and they offer you a 'menu' of different pillows you can call and order up (I loved the marilyne pillow, ultra soft down filled). When I return to Barcelona, the Grand Marina will be where I stay!
