Hotel just north of Placa Catalona. Easy walking distance of La Rambla, Gothic Quarter and Cas Batillo and Casa Mila. The terrace was great for relaxing

Top Tip
Go into the large departmental store in Placa Catalona. Have a coffee in the restaurant on the 9th floor for the wonderful views over Barcelona

If you get past the grumpy old man on reception this is a great hotel.

Top Tip
Always barter prices. Even in shops. Keep a close hold of your bag.

The tour of Montserrat is a must do!

Convenient for exclusive shops, excellent restuarants, airport bus, Metro and RENFE railway stations.

Top Tip
Watch for pick-pockets. Apart from the amazing Guadi architecture and super buildings a RENFE rail journey from the station below Catalunya Square along the coast for 1 1/2 hour journey costs around 6Euros return.

If you're not fussed about decor this is a great hotel, excellent location.

Attic restaurant near the top of the ramblas is excellent.

the temperature inside the hotel especially in the room (213) was a bit high. At breakfast the tables were not laid.

The Head Receptionist was very rude when I arrived with my daughters, he clearly wasnt happy that I'd not booked through the hotel, he gave us dreadful rooms , no a/c, view from the window a wall and an internal lobby , no air , very gloomy , would never go again if you paid me.

The Gran Via Hotel is in a great location. We did expect a better room for the price we paid, and thought it was very expensive for what we got, basic and a cot bed for 3rd person. we didn't get room on high floor - got level one at the front of hotel which was noisy. You could hear the chamber staff talking from the laundry room across the hall and the people in next room arguing, so that did spoil the 2 nights we spent at this hotel. The main lobby, restaurant, lounge and patio area are fantastic and retain what must have been a beautiful house at one time.

Barcelona has everything to see and do. Tablao Flamenco Cordobes in the Rambla for buffet dinner and flamenco show is a must, brilliant to see and the decoration is in Alhambra style in the building. Be careful at night on the Rambla as you do have pickpockets who pretend to be drunk and they work in twos, one to pick the mans pocket and the other to grab the womans bag we saw it happen. Get from the Tourist Information Office a Barcelona Card which you put money on and you can use this in all shops and places without taking your wallet or handbag out, brilliant idea for tourists. The Palau de Musica you need to book in advance to take a tour of the building the glass ceiling is beautiful.

Be careful of the con artist ex: taxi drivers and restuarant owners.

Top Tip
Taxi driver who over charge for the fare from hotel to airport which the hotel staff had called for their service.
