A truly lovely hotel with fabulous staff and phenomenal location! we had the most pleasant experience here. The receptionist and bell hop were so incredibly friendly on check-in, we felt right at home immediately. The room was a tad small but beautiful and clean. The location was great and right next to the cathedral of Barcelona. The staff provided us with a voucher for a free bottle of wine at their restaurant to celebrate our honeymoon which was so sweet. The restaurant Can Bo was also SO good and the staff there was amazing too! We were so sad when we left because it was such a lovely experience! Would stay here again without a doubt.

I had a wonderful experience staying at the Grand Central Hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcome and well taken care of. Special thanks to David at the front desk and Paul at the concierge; both went above and beyond with their warmth and hospitality. The room was spotless and cleaned daily, with a thoughtful touch of chocolates left on the bed after each service. It’s small gestures like these that make a stay feel truly special. Since I traveled to Lisbon for the weekend with only hand luggage, I asked the hotel to hold my suitcase. On my return, even before I officially checked in, my suitcase was already waiting for me in my room, along with fresh fruit and more chocolates as a welcome treat. That level of attention to detail and care left a lasting impression. Overall, my stay was seamless and delightful. I highly recommend the Grand Central Hotel for anyone visiting Barcelona. It’s the perfect blend of comfort, central location, excellent service, and thoughtful hospitality.

I absolutely loved my time at the Grand Hotel Central. The location is perfect, right by the Gothic Quarter and El Born and the hotel itself is stunning, with beautiful rooms and an incredible rooftop pool and terrace overlooking the city. The room was spotless, stylish, and very comfortable, and the little touches (like the Nespresso machine and soft linens) made it feel so special. What really stood out, though, was the staff. Everyone I met was genuinely friendly, helpful, and went out of their way to make my stay easy and enjoyable. They made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. I can’t recommend this hotel enough if you’re looking for a mix of luxury, great service, and a fantastic location. I’ll definitely be back!
