This is a wonderful hotel. It is actually very grand on the outside when you see the wonderful architecture. The rooms are very nice and modern. The service is way better than the normal European standard at hotels. Staff are very friendly. The property is very clean and convenient. The location is amazing. You can walk to Rambla and Exiample.

Nice hotel very well placed to explore the city, with the cathedral being very close by.
Friendly and efficient staff, our room was comfortable, with quality fittings and clean.
Enjoyed the buffet breakfast with plenty of food options.
Would be happy to stay here again.

An elegant experience in the heart of Barcelona!

I booked via The fork to enjoy the rooftop during my solo trip to Barcelona in August, and I was pleasantly surprised as soon as I entered the hotel: perfect central location, refined and elegant lobby, truly worthy of a 5-star property. From the moment I arrived, the hospitality was professional.

The rooftop offers a beautiful view over the city, with the highlight being the Glòries (Agbar) Tower designed by Jean Nouvel. It’s definitely a nice spot to enjoy a drink in a chic atmosphere. That said, I expected the rooftop to be a little more spacious , but the vibe remained very pleasant.
Service was efficient, the waiting time for my drink was fine, and the staff were genuinely kind and attentive.

We recently held an important corporate meeting at the Grand Hotel Central, and it was a great success - thanks to their outstanding event sales and service teams, especially Carla!

As the event organiser, I truly can’t thank the team enough. Our guests were thoroughly impressed by the hotel’s convenient location, beautiful and historic venue and interior, and the delicious food with a great range of options.

The staff, particularly Carla, were incredibly accommodating, attentive, and supportive throughout the entire process, from the moment we expressed interest in the venue to the end of the event. Every enquiry was handled with care and professionalism.

We highly recommend Grand Hotel Central for meetings and events, and we’ll definitely use their facilities again when we’re next in town!

Best wishes

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.

The hotel has a great location, right next to Barcelona Cathedral and adjacent to a shopping street; the rooms are okay, just a bit old. The breakfast is plentiful, overall it's decent.

Excellent location close to the airport

Great hotel staff. Very helpful and friendly employees! Always ready to help: with a taxi, with recommendations, with booking tickets.
Very good breakfasts, they meet and see you off.
The only thing I can say is the air conditioning in the room, I couldn't get used to it and I was cold, the robe saved me 😁😅
Everything else, and especially the location, is great! Very nice Spanish restaurant, which greeted me in a friendly manner even at 22.00😇

Our family recently stayed at the Grand Hotel Central in the historic gothic district in Barcelona and we had an amazing experience. The hotel was immaculate and the beautifully furnished. The rooftop bar had amazing views and an infinity pool. The restaurant on the ground floor had a great bar and terrific food and the breakfast in the main salon was delicious. What really set the hotel apart was the service, from the front desk, to the concierge, to the doorman, everyone was gracious, warm, kind and helpful. Every morning we were seated at breakfast by Carla who started our day off with a smile and a warm greeting and a perfect cup of coffee. The hotel is within walking distance to many museums and historical sites-we can't wait to visit both Barcelona and the Grand Hotel Central again.
