Excellent location, right in the center of Barcelona, next to Catalunya Square and Passage de Gracia, shopping streets and major sights. Everythings you need to see is within walking distance. The common area of the hotel is alright, my room (especially the bathroom) was in need of renovation. And one last thing, bring your earplugs, otherwise you will not be able to sleep a second, either from the street noise or from the noise your next-door neighbours are making. Breakfast was EUR 11 and nothing extraordinary. All in all, for a short stay in Barcelona the hotel is OK thanks mainly to its central location.

Noisy! You herar your neighbors very clearly. Also plumbing i noisy, room 111 even has a pump to evacuate water (we were in room 110). Very well situated. Near Guadis masterpieces.

Barcelona is so cosmopolitan we were surprised. The hotel is just down the street from all the shopping and it's an easy hop onto Tour Buses. This hotel was among the featured in our 10 Best of Barcelona book. It was hard to find a good cup of coffee; luckily Dunkin'Donuts is just around the corner.

This was the first trip for my husband and I to Barcelona. We thought the hotel Gran Via was an excellent place to stay and particularly enjoyed the room we were allocated as we had asked for a quiet room. We looked out over the beautiful courtyard at the back of the hotel. We liked our room and the hotel. It felt very much like a grand house in Barcelona and not a chain hotel which might have been any where in the world.

Our second time in barcelona; love the city. Just a two day stay, this time, in between two other legs of the journey. Gran Via was ok, but way under what we like, particularly in terms of quality of the beds. They were very sub-stantard, in our view. Otherwise, the facility felt tired, and in need of a makeover. Location is fine--easy enough to walk to the Sagrada Familia(a must see), and La Rambla.
