Granados 83

We really enjoyed our stay! For the value, we got a lot out of Granados 83. It is in a great location where it’s easy to get to transit (about a 6 minute walk to the metro), and was also very walkable. There were lots of good restaurants and bars nearby. The staff were all lovely. Everything is well maintained, and we particularly enjoyed an afternoon at the pool- albeit small it was a great spot to relax. We came and went from Barcelona a few times during our stay so we were in 3 separate rooms at Granados 83. All 3 were clean, comfortable and everything we needed. Occasionally we could hear some light noise either from outside (on the lower floors) or nearby rooms, but it was quiet enough not to be a bother. The one morning there was construction next door, the staff did their best to request they delay the noise until a more reasonable hour. I’d highly recommend Granados 83 and would certainly stay again. Thank you!

Centrally located hotel with many interest points around. The subway is pretty close so you can quickly get anywhere. We stayed for 3 nights in room 401. As soon as we moved in, we noticed a mold coming out from ventilation. We didn't report it until moving out because we were already tired after dealing with the previous hotel but I'd say this is unacceptable for a 4-star hotel. I understand that this is a common problem for Barcelona but it seemed like they don't really care when I reported it to the reception at the checkout. Otherwise, the room is spacious. I wouldn't call it perfectly quiet as we could hear some noise from the corridor but this room was closest to the elevator and we were able to sleep without any issues. In the morning we could hear some drilling from the next building so good to note that. It's not the greatest hotel I've stayed and I feel sorry for the money I spent but this is not the worst option as well. You only get 2 coffee capsules as a gift for the first night, the rest is for extra payment. Shampoo and shower gel seem to be watered down.

The Best hotel we have ever stayed in, besides comfortable beds, clean rooms and everything great hotels have to offer, Granados 83 stands out for the friendliness of their staff, their hearts and the feeling you always have someone to count on. Their human touch to everything they approach is somewhat desired in this world but not expected. Our stay, also due to Francesca’s little surprise, made it more than unforgettable for all the right reasons.If you want to feel heart felt welcome every time you walk through the door then this is the place to stay. I recommend it with all my heart. Sincerely

Great location with lots of good food places nearby and a short walk to more central shopping areas and some sights. Everyone at the hotel was very kind and accommodating. The single room is clean and comfortable with space to work out, the bed was comfortable as well. You could however hear very clearly everything happening in the hallway, which was quite disruptive, but the staff were all lovely and helpful.

We enjoyed our stay at Grenada 83 - back after 15 years. Well located so you are mingling with locals instead of tourists. Rooms are well appointed though getting a bit worn. Comfortable bed and great amenities. The breakfast was worth the extra € - good variety and service.

Had a great stay here. The staff were very welcoming and helpful - I left my bag with them prior to check in and when I came back to collect my room key they’d already placed my bag in the room which I thought was a lovely touch. Everything was clean, the rooms were comfortable and had great amenities. Didn’t have any food so can’t comment on that. Would stay again!

As a 4 star hotel I was expecting it to be better. The staff were all very good but it seems the hotel policies aren’t. You have one coffee capsule on the first night of your stay and then you have to pay each day (I confirmed with reception this is the policy) how is this compatible with 4 stars. One of the reasons I chose this hotel was the coffee machine over a kettle. Seems silly but it’s a pain. Rooms are nicely presented, but it was very noisy, people out in the halls and slamming doors at 5am which they can’t control, but could hear every bit of conversation through the wall so no soundproofing. Bathrooms need some work and the showers have poor water pressure. One great thing was the location, lovely neighbourhood. Also as others mentioned the lights are hard to control, we couldn’t turn the light off in the cupboard and had to take out the bulbs. Blinking light in the bathroom too. TV remote is a universal one so you can’t change the language as you normally can in Spain. Edit, thanks for the hotel response but the review is still factual.

Stayed as was travelling for business. Hotel service couldn't have been better. From the start they were attentive and friendly. My room was a great size and had a street view. Breakfast was tasty with lots of choice. Very good quality complementary toiletries from the white company. Huge tv in the room! Room service a little expensive but drinks in the bar more fairly priced. I would visit again and highly recommend

Bad Check in experience, ignored by a receptionist to provide me information about possible check in

Just finished a nice 3-night stay here in late February 2018. I would recommend this boutique hotel as a nice option for the overall value, location and attentive service. Rooms are on the smallish side, as through most of Europe, yet they are kept clean and the beds new with nice firm mattresses. So I really slept great here!! The location was convenient, around 15 minute walk from Plaza de Cataluña and Las Ramblas. And nearby some nice restaurants like Cu Cut and Teleferic. The two minuses were the Wi-Fi which I had to reset 6-7X per day just to get the connection to work. Also, the overactive cleaning person would just open my door w/o knocking at 9am every morning. Not great for jetlagged travelers, so make sure to deploy that 'Do Not Disturb' sign accordingly. Unlike some other reviews, I stayed on the 3rd floor and did NOT notice any funky hallway smells. Hotel Granados 83 is also highly rated on TripAdvisor and for good reason. Would recommend this spot for those staying in Barcelona.

While the rooms are on the small side, the Front desk staff is great, the roof top pool is nice. Noel and Mercedes were very helpful. The hotel seems to have had a recent renovations with modern upgrades. I recommend if you are not into large rooms.

I stayed in a single room for 4 nights. The interior of the hotel is very stylish and modern with a large atrium in the middle. The staff were very pleasant and all spoke English pretty well which was a plus. The room was smaller but exactly what I needed and the bathroom was very large. There were English channels on my tv which was nice. The lights are a bit weird to figure out as there are like 5 switches that dim or illuminate different things, maybe a run through when you check in? Also took me a minute to figure out how to close the window shades, also via a switch on the wall. One thing I thought was weird, maybe it's a European thing, was that there was no washcloth or something to wash with given? My one complaint with this hotel is that I was on the 5th floor and directly above me apparently is the rooftop bar. One night several young ladies were literally SCREAMING (i'm not exaggerating) Beyonce songs in a drunken stupor. I called down to the front desk to ask if they would tell them to pipe down and he basically said no deal with it..... Not pleased. You can also hear all the chairs moving around and glasses being stocked up there. Was close to the metro which was nice, just need to work on a couple of things.

I wasn't sure what to expect because I didn't pay too much for the room. It blew me away when I got there. The hotel was very clean and up to date. The rooms were nice and comfortable. The exposed brick in the room made it such a rustic experience. Location was also walking distance to all the restaurants in La Rambla and close to the Gothic Quarter. The staff was very welcoming and nice. Since I was only there for three days and two nights, I didn't get to enjoy much of the amenities. However, from what I saw, there was a nice pool and what seemed like a nice dining area.

We just returned from a weeklong stay at Granados 83 and, overall, it was an excellent experience! The staff was very welcoming, the location was perfect (for us), and the room was perfectly suitable for our needs. The undeniable negative to anyone visiting? As Pavel F. mentioned, the hallways did have a funky smell to them, which wasn't exactly the best introduction to the hotel upon walking to our room. It was like a scented mixture of mildew and sewage, but I wouldn't say it was overwhelming...just kind of something we grew accustomed to. We didn't spend too much time there anyway. The potential negatives to some people (but not to us)? Street noise. My wife and I live on a busy road in the city in America, so we're used to sleeping through noise, but this is Barcelona (outdoor seating/open fronted restaurants and bars, and people starting their nights around 10PM-12AM through 3 or 4AM) and there are a few bars/restaurants on the block that could potentially keep a lighter sleeper up later than he or she would prefer. This is something you'll experience nearly ANYWHERE in the city, though, and honestly, this location is much quieter than the more touristy parts of town. Location. This area of town isn't as close to some of the places that some tourists may prefer to see. It's possibly too far to walk for some to Barri Gotic, Parc Guell, or the beaches for many, but there's a cab stand on the corner and you're very close to the metro station. You're also only a few blocks from the Diagonal, Rambla de Catalunya (further up from Las Ramblas), and Passeig de Gracia. TV. Unless you are fluent in Spanish, you can likely put the remote in the safe, along with your passport. Haha. There's nothing in English, so unless you're into watching soccer (which was awesome to see on the TV any time I turned it on!), you'll be relaxing to familiar shows in an unfamiliar language. You really shouldn't be worried about it anyway...no need to watch TV on vacation in an incredible city, right? Exactly. Wifi. My wife had no issues with the wifi speed. I'd say the only downside of the wifi is that you only get it for 3 days for free, so for a longer stay, you'll be paying for wifi if it's a necessity. We only used our phones, and only used the data for basic stuff, so if you're there to do work in the room, I can't comment on the quality, but for smartphone usage, we had no issues. The positives for us? Location. We walk...a lot, so covering ground by foot was no problem from here. We walked everywhere, from the Camp Nou to Barceloneta, Barri Gotic, El Born, El Raval, Segrada Familia, Parc Guell, etc. We racked up the mileage covering every part of town, except for the Olympic village, but it was a great location. There are plenty of restaurants nearby and you're far enough from the complete insanity of the primary tourist spots to relax and feel more of the Barcelona way of life. Even if you don't want to stay at Granados 83, the area was wonderful. Highly recommended. Staff. They were all great. Very welcoming, spoke English (and suffered through any of my Spanish), and helpful in every way! We never had the staff clean our room during our stay, so we can't comment on their quality (room was well-stocked and never dirtied it up enough to require service), but every person on the staff that we encountered was pleasant. Room. Our room was pretty simple, but nice and modern, with plenty of room for two people. There's a safe in the room, a nice TV, and a pretty large bathroom. I know there are some tiny rooms in the hotel, but ours was definitely good. The bed wasn't the most comfortable one we've ever slept on in a hotel, but it was perfectly fine. Cleanliness wasn't an issue, either. Overall, I would recommend Granados 83. There are countless hotels in Barcelona and so sooooo many different neighborhoods to explore, so you have to decide on the type of trip you'd like to experience before committing to any hotel. If you're planning on spending your time on the beach, then I'd say this area is a bit far. If you want to spend your time dodging tourists and pickpockets on the lower parts of Las Ramblas, this might not be ideal, either. BUT for us, after seeing nearly every possible area in the city, I can say L'Eixample is a wonderful option, and Granados 83 wouldn't be a poor choice by any means! We may possibly be returning to the hotel next year.

Granados 83 is a clean and thoroughly modern hotel just far enough from the madness of the main tourist areas to afford calm. Thus, it feels like Barcelona, not Disneyland. Fifteen minute walk down the tree lined streets and you are in the midst of Barri Gotic, or perhaps strolling to The Palau de la Música Catalana, or even magnificent la Boqueria. Granados 83 is clean, quiet and feels more like a condo in the City than a hotel. A great roof top bar compliments a day of exploration - and Barcelona is for exploration. The staff was exceptional, the optional buffet breakfast was convenient and delicious. We walked mostly, but a cab was never more than a few minutes away. It is not a raucous place, not a party place - but neither is it a big, indifferent cement box. It feels alive, it is designed to do this, yet it is subdued. Highly recommended. We're middle aged, felt at home and connected to the City.

The Derby hotels team behind the original Barcelona boutique hotel the Hotel Claris, opened this coup, Hotel Granados 83 in March 2006. Like falling into a pool of chocolate - warm wood panelling, rough red bricks, rusted metal and soft colour schemes soothe a traveller's soul. A former hospital, the hotel is situated in the heart of the shopping district near Passeo de Gracia. 77 rooms are spread over 7 floors, with an event room for 40 in the basement, a roof terrace for 70 people for a reception, and a first floor restaurant for 50 with its own courtyard. COmpact and homely, this is a great hang out to stay in the heart of the city.

If I could give them a zero I would. I was doubled booked and canceled one reservation but still charged a fee. The hotel tells you to cancel through Booking.com but Booking tells you to cancel through Hotel Granados!! Needless to say I am charged a nights fee ($208.00). The staff originally stated the double booking was canceled but it wasn't and I'm on the hook. These people are crooks and it's too late to rebook. Beware!! Update: I received notification from Hotel Granados and Booking.com they reconsidered my request and are waiving the cancellation fee. WTBS , I have discovered they have great customer service in resolving conflict.

I wish I could give another half star, but since that is not an option, I will have to go with 4 because I have not stayed in another BCN hotel yet and giving it 5, may not be right for now. The hotel entry and lobby were really cool and modern looking, very inviting. The hotel staff spoke English and was very helpful upon arrival as well. We were able to early check-in with ease as well which was an added bonus (after flying all night, it was nice to be able to freshen up and not have to wait several hours to do so). Being located in L'Eixample, the hotel could not be better located. It was awesome because although BCN is very touristy, this area seemed to be less crazy. There was so much nearby for those times that we wanted to stay closer to the hotel. Our room was nice. I did not expect it to be large being that were in Europe. Anyone who is expecting a huge hotel room, be cautioned, you won't likely find it here. It was modernly decorated, large windows, and was clean. Cannot complain. There is a rooftop bar and deck next to the small pool. It is small, but really nice as well. If there is a FC Barcelona game, they may even have an event in the meeting room - food and bevvies provided for a small charge (Ours was $25 Euros-- so cheap!). If you are visiting BCN and like to explore and walk a lot, as I mentioned, this location was great. It was in the middle of everything and near the metro (we walked 10-15 miles a day and did not opt to use it though). For those who are active and like to walk around a lot and explore, you can easily do so from the Hotel Granados 83. We are already planning our next trip to Barcelona, and the Hotel Granados 83 is definitely a hotel we are considering once again because of our great experience there. The price was more than reasonable as well!

+ The hotel is located in the convenient distance to the metro as well as train stations, offers a huge quantity of restaurants, bars in the hotel as well as in the vicinity. The staff is very helpful. - The corridors of the hotel had an unpleasant smell of lavatories for the whole length of my stay. The wifi speed is sluggish as well as the water pressure in the shower - wasn't able to have a proper shower under it. The breakfast costs extra 18€ and consisted of a very poor choice of hams, cheeses and come sweet pastry.

Clean Modern hotel. We came here for the last few days of our trip in Barcelona. It was $$$, however, it was one of the few hotels available over the weekend during a high tourist season. The room amenities were awesome. You get a full set of shampoo, conditioner, body and shower gel in a nice cosmetic bag. You get a full personal care kit. The shower is large so there is space to move around, however, there is no tub. On our last few days we really needed this so that we could soak our feet from our walking. Beggars can't be choosers since our last hotel could barely fit a single person in the shower. They have free Wifi, however, logging in is a bit of a pain than it really needs to be. They have slippers and bath robes for two. This was appreciated so that we could relax a little bit after. The hotel staff is the nicest that we have experienced so far in Spain. When you check into the hotel they give you a free ticket to the Egyptian Museum (we didn't use it) and they give you a sheet of safety tips for tourists. They also hook you up with a map, however, that meant shit to us 'cause getting around Barcelona is confusing (not really good with directions and maps). My best friend who is like the human GPS even had some frustrations navigating the city. They speak enough English. They have a breakfast buffet for 18 Euro each. It is pricey for a buffet. Check out was a bit of a gong show. It wasn't the fault of the people at the desk. They were trying to resolve a customer service related issue that we knew was going to take long. We had a train to catch to the airport, therefore, left our keys at the front desk with a post it note and left. We just didn't have time to waste and wait in fear of missing our flight. P.S. Instead of a pen they give you a pencil.

Another lunch, another experience... Granados 83 is a typical hotel restaurant, so actually I was not expecting nothing very exquisite. There's not much to say...the food is "ok" but nothing to die for. It's simple, it's slow and it's very tourist oriented, what else can I say? Not much ...

This hotel set the bar for luxury. I truly can't wait to go back to Barcelona just to stay at this hotel again. Such a well designed hotel, I don't think they could change anything. The staff was super friendly and was always there to help.

Granados 83 was clean, quiet and beautiful hotel. It's within walking distance of the sights and close to a metro station. The service was attentive and friendly, and I loved the rooftop pool and bar. The attention to detail in the decor of the room made all the difference: while the room was small, it felt modern and sleek, rather than cramped. Overall, I was extremely pleased and would definitely recommend it to friends traveling to Barcelona.

The best hotel I've ever stayed at in my life... The convenient technology along with the "Top of the Line" front desk staff are ideal!! I will definitely recommend this hotel to anyone that is willing to visit Barcelona... Very close to shopping centers and a few blocks away from Plaça de Catalunya and La Rambla.. The most busiest and most happening place in Barcelona!!! This hotel is a must when visiting Barcelona!!

My family stayed in the family suite for one week. The room was modern and clean. The staff is exceptional. The only issue we had was the noise level. The family suite is located one floor above the restaurant. On a Thursday night, the restaurant had a loud party until 1am. My wife and daughter were trying to sleep. They were exhausted and needed to rise early for an early appointment. I wished the staff or management would have shared this with us and the guest of the hotel about loud parties. My daughter did not sleep and caught a bad cold due to the lack of rest. If staying at this hotel which I recommend. Consult with the staff about evening parties. Otherwise, sleep is impossible. The hotel did offer us breakfast for the trouble but my wife asked for a credit for one night. I had to get medication for my daughter. Both my daughter and wife were so upset that we had to visit the front desk three times. I would stay at the hotel again. They really try hard to make our stay memorable. I plan to return to Barcelona.
