Hotel Granados 83 - Barcelona

Well designed on one hand (except transparent WC door - if you're a couple it would be a surprise). But i lived in two rooms and can say they have to be repaired. Rooms are pretty noisy, breakfast is okay. Staff is very helpful. Location isn't impressive but there're different car rentals and subway station nerby. Also you'll find a bunch of nice restaurants not too far from Granados 83.

The pool shown on the photographs is extremly small in reality. There is no chance for swimming. the pool is only about 5 meters long. Okay, 4 Person can sit in it, which may be fun to people located in a desert. Another point that was not okay: The walls in my room were a little bit dirty. Painted with shoe polish and other things. I better don´t wanted to know the details... The rubber around the bathtub should be renowed. There was mud on it. That´s not the guilt of the cleaning personal, it´s a case for renovation. Besides to those points my room was really clean. Cool furniture and flooring in it, good TV. And the room size was only adequate. Okay, maybe the rooms in a highly recommended 4star hotel should be greater. Just bad: it was very loud due to very thin walls. The design of the other parts of the granados83 is simply great and the service was demonstrative friendly. Location is okay. You can walk to all the points of interest in the city and if you don´t want to walk - there is a medro station nearby. The district (near balmes and the upper rambles) looks quite safe - there are quarters in barcelona i don´t want to walk throgh at night. I paid 91€ per night for a single room without breakfast. This was absolutly okay and a good deal. But the regular price (up to 140€ and more) is too high´in my eyes. But you should know: Even if you get cheap rooms - it´s an design hotel and a real cool location, which means that you may look kind of dislocated with leasure wear. Zebrano wood, marble and lot´s of glass suits not really to trekking clothes in my eyes. :-)

The hotel is modern and very striking in its design - the lift and access to the floors are spectacular! The room was perfectly clean and of the same modern design. The lighting system took a little getting used to as the room key is necessary to make it work. The breakfast was good but expensive and the restaurant prices were high. An very enjoyable stay.

Good Hotel. Rooms spacious and clean, but... definitly noisy !

One of the funkiest, coolest hotels I've stayed in. Achitecture/decor are ultra-modern, but warm and welcoming at the same time. Beds are very comfortable, shower is excellent. VERY CLEAN. Great outdoor roof bar. Location is GREAT -- close to Ramblas to walk safely even later at night, but far enough to be quiet. Plent of great restaurants/bars within the surrounding blocks. My only complaint, which was common to all of my hotel experiences in Spain, is that staff are not as forthcoming with information or as helpful with arranging activities/reservations as US hotels. Granados was much better than others, but still not what I'm used to.

A very well located hotel with a friendly staff. There are many fine restraurants in teh area, so you can come home to the Granados in teh evening and freshen-up and then enjoy a pleasant place to eat close by. The neighborhood is very quiet, yet you can walk to the Gaudi houses and Cathederal in ten minutes.
