My husband and I booked the Gran Derby for 4 nights to celebrate my 30th birthday and first impressions were quite good. On arrival we were offered the option to upgrade our room for €10 per night which we accepted. The hotel lobby/foyer was neat and clean, the staff spoke English well, and our room was large and decorated to... More

I had a great experience at this boutique Hotel! Gran Derby location is not the best however it has indeed a great decor and charm in a sort of Africa mood with Zebra Carpets (replica)! The suite room is very comfortable with beautiful ambiance and great bathroom! The pool facilities are also great. Nearby there are local markets and you... More

I was a bit skeptic about the hotel as their low season rates were lower than in much worse "hostales" near Catalunya square. However, I took confidence in their Small Luxury Hotels affiliation and took the plunge. I am really happy that I did, because the Gran Derby turned out to be really nice. It also helped that I was... More

Let me first say that i gave a low rating based solely on my experience of the appalling way in which the theft was handled... On my first morning we popped down to breakfast for about 45mins and I left my bag in the room...to be honest I didn't think that anyone would be cleaning the room so early. When... More
