Gran Hotel Torre Catalunya - Barcelona

No Comment because everthything was above expectation.

Long wait to check out in the morning.

The Front Desk personnel were extremely informative and pleasant. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome.

The staff was well informed about the events in town and always willing to help. They have the rooms cleaned and tied twice a day.

The hotel is fairly new and thus provides an excellent experience - the facilities are great and the staff was very attending and helpful - in short, we had a fantastic time!

restaurant at roof top excellent food excellent service

Excellent room especially bathroom

No free Wi-Fi

The staff were super friendly. The hotel's room service was excellent.

No complaints.

For travel the location is great, very close to Sants Stations. There is also a market and very nice shopping centre (old converted bullring) walking distance from the hotel. The hop-on hop off tourist bus also has a stop across the square, as well as several car rental agencies.The hotel offers fair value for money. Staff were very helpful and always able to assist us when we had any questions. Got a great paella restaurant and Tapas bar recommendation from reception.

For me a big one, no free (or even paid) WIFI in the rooms, had to come sit in the lobby to use my ipad, I expect more from a 4 star hotel. Bathroom could also be a little cleaner. It wasn't dirty as such, just not what you would expect from a 4 star hotel. That aside, our stay was great, and I would still recommend this hotel.

Their service was really excellent. Hotel staffs are well disciplined and think of the customers' comfort first, I felt quite satisfied with their hospitality. The location is the best for international travelers(about 20 min. From the airport by bus) and ave travelles(Sants station is just in front of the hotel). I also had a nice view from the room. I'm sure to be back to this hotel with my family again.

On the days I stayed at the hotel, a big festival was held. The noise was so loud that I couldn't sleep, but they kindly accepted my request and changed the room which was on the other side. Thanks to their treatment, I had peaceful sleep there. In addition, they left 'sorry sweet' in my room next day! Eventually, this is not a complain at all!!

I did chose tc because of the delightful room photo that apear on the Booked.net, however when I've checked in the room was far to be near from the photo, it was said that the room that I booked was on a superior floor,... The one I got was on the 11th floor... Which for a building of 23rd floors...the 11th is not realy considered on the superior floors...after making this remark on the reception I've gotten a suite for extra 12euros per night on the 17th floor! I did not really thaught was fair...but here's my comment with hope that it will change, however I must say that we're very well welcommed by Georgina on our check in, and this building is wonderful with very nice rooms and it's worth to invest On furniture renovations!I Might comme back to tc on my next trip to bcn.T.C.

See my comments above.... Even if forgot something important for the future tc guests:... If you book directly through the hotelpage the access to Internet is free, If you book through Booked.net: you pay 4euros per hour! It's a small detail... But details make the quality!

I realise this hotel is marketed at the business traveller, however, we were a couple on a 10 day leisure/independent visit to Spain and Barcelona was the first stop on our itinerary. We stayed at the Gran Hotel Torre Catalunya over the weekend and the hotel suited our needs perfectly. The views from our bedroom on the 21st floor were spectacular. Our room was extremely comfortable, clean, quiet and the city views were stunning. We found the receptionists to be always extremely helpful and informative and we received helpful service from the business centre. The breakfast is also excellent value! We much preferred to stay in the quieter location. The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya and the former Olympic site. Also within walking distance is the Caixa Forum - which is a stunning gallery that we visited to view the (free entrance) Goya and Delacroix exhibitions, which were excellent. Across the road from the Caixa Forum is the Pavello Mies van der Rohe, which is amazing. The hotel is placed at the centre of brilliant transport links - it is directly opposite the main Estacio Sants mainline train station, bus station and Metro station, which makes it an ideal trip to/from the airport. We found travelling by both metro and local buses to be extremely easy and the underground system is very simple to navigate. Top tip: buy a ticket at the metro station for 9,25 euros to get 10 trips. It works out much cheaper than buying individual tickets and you can both travel on the same ticket and also use the ticket on the local buses, where you just insert the ticket into the machine at the front of the bus. I would recommend the hotel and I would definitely consider staying here again on any future visits to Barcelona.

Nice hotel, convenient locations for station, metro and tourist buses. Quite a walk to centre of Barcelona. Rooms good with fantastic views if you go to the upper floors (costs a bit extra). Car park was convenient. Resteraunt had a good menu , the food was good and not ultra expensive.

Breakfast was good but the hot food was cold!!! Only English news channels so a dvd would have been nice ( we saw this advertised at other hotels)

The hotel room was huge. The staff was amazingly nice and helpful. It is in a perfect location to get to everything in Barcelona. Right across the street from the main rail station. I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay at a great hotel. It is rated a 4 star hotel, but should be a 5 star.

Neat, clean, attentive staff, central location.
