“EXCELLENT Hotel/Location”

My husband and I stayed at Grandos 83 for the second leg of our honeymoon after visiting Mallorca, Granados was extremely welcoming and warm. Considering how unfriendly our hotel was in Mallorca, we were so relieved to find this. Grandados 83 was recommended to us by friends that also had their honyemoon in Barcelona and they loved it just as much. The neighborhood is great and very safe in comparison to other areas. It is also very accessible to the metro which takes you anywhere you want to go. When we arrived at Granados 83 it was late on a Friday and we were first given an interior room with no windows and it was still pretty comfortable. The staff was amazing, brought us a bottle of cava, YUM, and upgraded us first thing the next morning to a larger room on the top floor. Everything we needed was taken care of including helping us get tickets to an FC Barcelona game. I cannot stress enough how happy we were with our stay at Granados 83 and will stay at one of their properties again on my next visit to Europe. Only note would be to make sure you recommend a room with a balcony and the interior room is definitely not where I would have wanted to continue to stay, but still not bad. The hotel has a great little pool on the roof that was great to soak my sore feet in at the end of a long day of siteseeing and the bar serves yummy cocktails and tapas.

“Good Hotel- Great Location”

This hotel was very nice in terms of its modernism. Very cool decor in the lobby. The room was rather small and simple but that is expected in European countries. The room was cleaned daily. My favorite part of the room was the balcony. On the rooftop, there's a little, cute pool. Overall excellent service. The hotel staff was always very nice and helpful. They spoke English, which was great. This hotel is a few blocks away from La Pedrera, Passeig di Gracia, Rambla de Catalunya, and the famous Rambla. I would definitely go back again. Wonderful hotel and staff!

“Barcelona gem”

A modernised, stylish and somewhat funky interior design suits this small hotel which is well situated in the Eixample area. Very close to many of the sights of barcelona, but not too close to the overcrowded areas dominated by tourist traffic. Great bars, tapas and restaurants within 5 minutes walk of the hotel. Staff friendly and very helpful. Only gripe is limited wi-fi access.

“Great little Hotel”

Just returned from my 2nd trip to Barcelona visiting friends. The Granados 83 is a bit further away from the main action around Las Ramblas (about a 10-15 minute walk), but a great little neighbourhood with lots of bars and restaurants surrounding. The rooftop pool and bar was also a welcome relief after a day punding the pavements, and an excellent spot for watching the sun go down over the mountains. It's also really well placed for the train to Sitges (the main station s just off Passeg de Gracia) if you want a day by the beach out of town. Hotel itself is small, and cosy - I only had a single room with an internal courtyard view, but it was all that was needed. Will, on the front desk, was extremely helpful with check-in , and always happy to suggest restaurants and transportation options. I'd definitely recommend this hotel, and will certainly book again on my next trip to this beautiful city!

“Beware of the single rooms”

Despite the website saying the single rooms have a "city view or courtyard view", the hotel told that they ALL have just an inner view. It is NOT a courtyard view - merely onto a tiny internal atrium, at best. The rooms feel like a prison cell and are not somewhere where you would want to spend any time other than to sleep. The standard single was unbearable and the hotel did agree to move me to an "executive single" - the same thing but just a bit bigger. The room door had to be slammed shut and the automatic doors from the lift to the corridor made a loud noise each time they opened. Despite VERY pleasant staff, there are better places to stay in Barcelona.

“Great location”

Great hotel in good location. Only minus was the " pool " - too small to actually swim in. Also, hotel faces construction site. Most of the hotel staff were pleasant and helpful. The interior of the hotel was very modern and chic, yet comforfable. All in all, a great place to stay.

“Good choice”

We were very satisfied with our hotel choice. The most important factor in our decision was the customer reviews. This is a nice clean hotel by European standards. The hotel staff were extremely helpful and went out of their way to help with directions which is more than I can say about many other hotels in Spain. The pool is really not a pool but enough to get you wet. Breakfast was very nice, lots of fresh fruits, juice,breads and cheeses. Location was very good and within walking distance of most attractions. Rooms are very small but adequate and the sink is very contemporary and you have to be careful not spill the water over the edge even when you are washing your hands. You get 1 free hour of wifi but you have to ask for a password at the front desk. A note about tipping in Spain, you don't have to tip, they don't expect it and are not used to being tipped So don't feel bad. I only tipped a few times during our 2 week trip.

“Second visit won't be my last!”

We have visited Barcelona twice, stayed at Hotel Granados 83 both times, and plan to stay again next time we visit. We would also be happy to recommend the hotel to friends. The hotel staff , location and style are great. We had a rate that included breakfast this time and were happy with the quality and thought it offered good value. Only small negative point was noise from the tables and chairs being moved on the roof terrace as our room was below it on the sixth floor. However this was not constant so we decided it was not worth asking to move rooms. The hotel is located in Eixample, a short walk from the main tourist hot spots, but we found the quieter, mostly residencial area more pleasant.
