Stayed at this hotel prior to a transatlantic crossing and thought it was an excellent choice for cruisers. The room we had was very spacious with a balcony and the breakfast buffet was great. I found a special rate of 125 Euro including breakfast on Travelzoo. We walked everywhere and our cruise ship was a 5 minute cab ride. I... more

We booked the hotel for several purposes; it was close to the cruise ship, it was close to the Ramblas (approximately 2 blocks); and the price. We weren't disappointed! We stayed three nights at the hotel, two before the cruise and one more when we returned from our cruise. Yes, the beds are hard--ok-very hard-but we had no problem falling... more

I've stayed at Grand Marina just for 3 days but can say that this hotel is great. The staff is very polite, efficient and speaks on a lot of languages (on Russian too). The hotel has great location, very close to Columbus monument and La Rambla. The tourist bus of Barcelona also stops near the hotel, so if You want... more

Simply fabulous. The hotel rooms was big sized, with a huge bathroom. Bathroom had a separate shower area and a bathtub with jacussi. When we reached the hotel, we were upgraded to a higher class of room because it was available. We spent a lot of time in the hotel because it was so nice. There was free wi-fi in... more

This is a standard hotel (not 5 star along the lines of Four Seasons, more like 3.5 star like Hyatt). The beds are VERY HARD, it is quite noticeable. A few things missing in the room such as alarm clock/radio and mixed amenities, some days they left soap, others they didn't, not what I would expect at a hotel of... more

Hotel staff had excellent customer & professional service. Stefan at the reception was very courteous & helpful. Rooms were nice & big. We were given... more

This hotel is situated in an absolutely fabulous location. It is approximately 20 minutes from the airport by taxi which cost 20 euro for two people and two suitcases. The location of the hotel is the real draw here. It is located on the marina with water on both sides and a 3 minute walk from Las Ramblas. The suites... more

Has everything except so poorly sound insulated that when ships dock you can hear talking from the ships. Not good for sleep. Unlike the Waterfront hotels in Cape Town with excellent engineering. Also most rooms have a very depressing view: best views given to offices. more

The title says it all. We stayed here the night before a cruise. The hotel is VERY close to the cruise ships and walking distance from Las Ramblas. Very clean, nice rooms, nice front desk staff. VERY VERY unhelpful concierge (wish I'd have gotten her name). Iberia airlines had lost our luggage and she refused to help us translate in... more
