Catalonia Gran Via BCN

"Wonderful experience. Very friendly and helpful staff. Above and beyond. Excellent location. Wonderful breakfast. Highly recommended. Will be happy to stay again when back to Barcelona."

"We very much enjoyed our three-night stay at the Hotel Catalonia Gran Via BCN. It was a quiet location, and reasonably close to a subway station that made transportation in the city seamless. The front desk staff were welcoming and efficient, and there are numerous room amenities (kettle for in-room coffee and tea, housecoats and slippers, a tasty cookie on arrival, a rain shower, very comfortable bed and pillows), a buffet breakfast available (some have it included in their room cost), and a bar near the lobby with friendly staff. There is an outdoor pool as well as a fitness centre. This was a top notch place to stay in Barcelona."

"The hotel front looks small but inside is big enough. The front desk staff are all nice and friendly. Upon checkin they said they upgraded us to Superior room. We had iced Cava in our room with a small box of lindt chocolate. The aircon worked well. We also found out they change our sheets everyday. The towels replenished (unlike other hotels they talk about saving water and you can re-use your towels etc) Our room was facing other houses/buildings at the back (not gran via st). One night there was loud music playing that woke me up at 2am. BUt other than that, my stay was great. There is tourist fee that will be added to your bill (EUR6+ per person per night) this is standard - some hotels depending on whether 2 star, 4 star, will charge less, like EUR5+ per person per night."
