What people say
Great location, 3 blocks from Passieg de Gracia train station, 5 blocks from Las Ramblas. Very convenient for a flyin holiday. No need to rent a car. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Their English was much better than my Spanish! Rooms were clean, comfortable and quaint. Hotel is an old 19th century mansion conversion. Excellent location right in the heart of Barcelona, very close to drop off point of Airport Shuttle. Good spacious family room. Inclusion of breakfast for a small price would have been even better.all reviews »

It is a very beautiful hotel. It is an excellent kept old house and very nice staff. Clean rooms, central location. good location. World class cleaning staff: so very very clean the room after I had spread soil from my shoes all over the floors; beautiful hotel and friendly staff giving good advice and accurate directions, good security! I was challenged and asked if I was a hotel guest when I was investigating the stunning hotel interior, this was good, and reassured me about the diligence of the staff. Although on main road, hotel is very quiet. Convenient location, close to metro. Within walking distance of Las Ramblas and other attractions. Shops and restuarants nearby.Location, double bed -- instead of 2 twins pushed together, interesting architectural details, excellent shower. The magnificant building and decoration which created a lovely atmosphere. It was comfortable and in a good location and the staff was very nice. Location and excellent wifi internet access. position of hotel, grand salon. Location! Only 5 minutes walk from Las Ramblas, and the very lively Place de Gracia only a minute away. Good sized room.

The terrace is nice. The staff is kind and nice. good sized family room -- plenty of room for all of us. They were flexible for a late checkout the next day.End of day my trip, They checked my airflight tieck. It was so kinds. The hotel was very central; it was clean and a lovely building.Staff were helpful and location very good. The location,, the size of the room.We found it to be in a very central spot, a little noisey at times as our rooms were in the front of the hotel, on the main street.................there is a very nice court yard that you can sit at and be outside away from the main street. The location is excellent with easy accessibility to all parts of the Barca. Outstanding central location, very cool old entryway/lobby, quiet room. The hotel was very nice, I like the design, the room was quite big. Centrally located for easy sight-seeing on foot. Very centrally placed hotel full of character. Central position and very helpful staff. location, old style of decoration. good location. Very good breakfast: very nice staff. Location and price is good. Location,helpful staff. The room was relatively good and price was reasonable. I've chose the hotel because of its location to the city centre and the price. It was very well located and spacious. Staff were very helpful. We were stuck in the elevator one time for about 5 minutes.The breakfast could be better than this. Breakfast buffet's cooked food not attractive. Cheaper limited choice would have been appreciated.Twin beds, not a double bed, that was all. Slightly noisy street in the day, but not an issue, and with airconditioning you can close the windows, and was quiter at night. Worth it for the convenience and all other points of this hotel. the breakfast was great for Europeans....not so good for Americans. Twin beds were a kind of surprise. Breakfast is charged separately. Got a little noisy at nights when guests returned drunk.The cost of using the safe in the room was $2.50 extra per day in cash. The receptionist gave us outdated directions to the nearest American Express office (they had moved) and seemed totally unconcerned when we told him the correct address for the next request for directions. It would be better to include breakfast into the price for the room.The rooms facing the street are noisy. staff not always friendly. a bit old. I could not obtain a uk/spain adapter plug. In the night, after 12pm, I asked several questions to be told that I was not understood, upon rephrasing and perserverance my questions were answered.No "do not disturb" signs. Housekeeping knocked on and opened door every morning. We found the bed a bit hard, thus a little bit uncomfortable. No tea/coffee making facility in room. No room service. Double glazing at the front not as effective as it could be. Beds were a little small for toddlers (too narrow), so we had to move mattresses to the floor. But we're used to that, so that's nothing against the hotel. Breakfast was a little sparse relative to $$ paid for bfast. Small elevator, and no one helped us with our many bags.One of the reception staff was very surly and miserable. It would have been good if they did evening meal in the hotel. The English channel for news was unavailable and the free internet was iffy at times. You couldn't always get on line. The air-conditioning was not very good. Luckily it was not real hot while we were there. I think that for the price we paid, the breakfast should have been included. The rooms need a llittle work as they are quite rustic. We had a front facing room on the Gran Via - It was also a twin room and we had booked a double. Not a big complainer and happy to be on holiday I pushed the beds together and got on with it.
If asked when booking make sure that you request a room to the back of the hotel although the Gran Via is nice to look out onto it is extremely noisy and the main thoroughfare for ambulances.Night clerk seemed to forget he worked in the hospitality industry (though others were quite nice). Also, room was a little musty and small. The bed was quite uncomfortable and the hotel staff did not understand english so good.The shower was in bad condition.The elevator did not work and the bellman threw a fit about having to carry our bags up three flights of stairs and slammed one of our bags on the floor. The desk clerk did apologize for the bellman's actions. Bed was very uncomfotable. the desk staff was decidedly unfriendly; no ice in the evening; soap was good but towels were thin. Staff at reception rather sturdy. Room was quite noisy and bed was not the best. I´ve got single room with no view but to an interior space, prison-like.I hope it is was not reserved to letsbookhotel.com customers. Breakfast not included but it becomes universal!. It would have been better if the room has a electrical or a small kettle jug to boil some water and the wood flooring is quite dusty. With the hot weather, the room wasn't cold enough even with the air-condition turned on. Room was very shabby.

Hotel information details
The Granvía Hotel building was built in 1870 by master architect Jerónimo Gralls, and was originally designed as a palace for the Serra-Chopitea family. In 1935, it was converted into a hotel.
Today it is still home to important 19th century works of art previously owned by Doña Dorotea Chopitea, a patron of Salesian works in Barcelona. Among the sites that have been maintained are the Salón Gran Vía, the Salón Don Bosco, la Capilla, the room of Doña Dorotea and the entire Principal Gallery, with its arcades and columns. Its beautiful, original walls have appeared in numerous films, and have been the focus of countless reports, interviews and official presentations.
Located in the city centre, the hotel is right beside Plaza Catalunya and Paseo de Gracia, two of the major architectural landmarks of the city. Famous and original structures such as the Pedrera, Casa Batlló, Palau Robert, Casa Fargas and Casa Ametller all stand majestically along this distinguished avenue.
The privileged location of the Granvía Hotel allows its guests to get around the city easily on public transport. Buses, metro, regional trains, night buses, tour buses, and taxi stands are all easily accessible from the hotel.
Discover the feeling of living in another age, and with the pleasure and comfort of professional services in this historic palace-hotel.
