Gran Hotel Torre Catalunya

The place to stay in Barcelona

The room we had was spacious and nicely decorated even by American standards. The bathroom was larger, clean, all marble, with a tub and a walk-in shower big enough for 3 people. My wife is very sensitive to noise, so I asked the front desk for a quite room and they gave us a room on the 10th floor that was not only quite, but had a panoramic view of Barcelona. The staff were very helpful in giving us recommendations and directions. The hotel is right next to Sants terminal which is very convenient for taking the metro to any place you want to go in the city or taking the regional train to other cities or to and from the airport. I would stay at this hotel every time I'm in Barcelona.

Great staff

We returned to our room after a day of touring and found that something in the bathroom ceiling had sprung a leak. I called the desk and within a few minutes house keeping sent someone to clean the mess. The manager immediately upgraded us to a better room with free drinks and free internet. The 23rd floor restaurant with its great view of the city is a good reason to book this hotel. We can highly recommend it. The train and bus stations were across the street. No need to pay the high taxi costs. Just take the train to and from the airport.

Outstanding Hotel

The room was fabulous! Very roomy and the view was great. Spacious and clean

Good for brief stay before/after cruise

My wife and I stayed at the Torre Catalunya for the night before, and the night after, our cruise out of Barcelona. We were pleased. It's location by the train station is excellent for many transporation options around Barcelona. The staff were very helpful and friendly, including working directly with the airline (who lost our luggage) on our behalf. Further, even though we arrived early on one stay, and left late on the other stay, they accommodated us in the room for our extra time with no questions or problems. The room was clean and comfortable. We got the breakfast (extra 12 Euros/person if you sign up at check-in), which is a bit expensive - but the breakfast is a full buffet (fruits, breads, eggs, meats, cheeses, juice, tea/coffee, etc.) and is in the top floor dining room with impressive view of the city. The main disadvantage of this hotel is that not too many things in Barcelona are in easy walking distance, so you need to use bus, subway, etc. Also, neighborhood to the northwest is a bit sketchy.

Great location for travel, nice staff

We stayed here for the last night of our honeymoon, since we were flying back to the states out of Barcelona. It is just next door to the train and metro stations, which made it super convenient for easy travel to Las Ramblas and the airport. The concierge, Miguel, was exceptionally friendly and informative. He helped us navigate the train and metro. The breakfast buffet was overpriced, but had pretty good food and a large variety of it. The view from the top-story restaurant is not to be missed. Really enjoyed soaking in the large bathtub. Our only complaint is that when we called down to get an iron delivered our room, we never got one. But otherwise, everyone was friendly and our stay was very pleasant.

Great hotel!

We choose this hotel after reading the other reviews from hotels.com and tripadvisor. The room was very spacious (Esp for Europe), very clean with a modern feel. The hotel is located right across the street from a metro and train station which made getting around the city extremely convenient. The staff all spoke English well and was quite friendly and helpful. The spectacular Font Màgica show was a short 15 minute walk up the street.

helpful staff.easy meeting location

Our experience was great

Great location, 2 minute walk to main train staion, subway and the terrific BusTouristic. Room/beds were good, view of the city from our room and especially from the 23rd floor restaurant were spectacular.

Best yet

Clean and comfortable, close to the train station (train to airport for 1.35 euros). Close to metro station, quick trip to La Rambla. Bar/lounge food is excellent, prices are reasonable. Highly recommend to everyone.

Good hotel for the price.

Very convenient location close to train station and the metro. Can get to virtually any of the spots of interest in Barcelona by metro within about 15-20 minutes. Outstanding view of the entire city from the top floor restaurant, which serves a very good, reasonably priced buffet breakfast.

Good room for the money

Room was a good size, housekeeping was okay, but the staff were very helpful and the hotel is next to the train station and metro - very convenient.

Fabulous

Rooms were great, bathroom was incredible. And the location cannot be beat -- right next to the central metro for access to all the city. I will most definitely stay here again!
