Good Location
Stay in this hotel at the end of May. Had a room on the 6th floor. The room was very clean modern and it was perfect for a city break. The hotel is in a good location short road to La Rambla. The staff were always were nice and helpful but we didn't have to speak to them that often which is a good sign. Would highly recomend this hotel for a city brreak.

Great base for a weekend of exploring.
The hard bed was great for us, because that's what we're used to but wouldn't be for everyone. It was like trying to sleep in a drum when the person next door was stomping round at 3am with heels on, because of the wooden floors. Other than that, the breakfast was good & it's great central location was excellent.

The tapas bar on the corner advertises a complete menu for 18 euros each. It isn't 18 euros!

Perfect Value For The Money
It's close to La Rambla, just about five minutes by walking. Room was quite good for a 3 star hotel and it was nice to have breakfast included.

Young Couple from Ireland
When we first checked into the hotel Gran Ronda, the receptionist was only lovely and very helpful. The room was super clean, spacious, the bed a little hard but it was fine. The room was cleaned at any time during the day, so if we slept in and left the sign on the door, the room was always cleaned by the time we got back. Very efficient. Only 1 negative remark, the floors are wooden so noise travels...so if you had noisey neighbours like we did, you would hear everything. Overall the location was fantastic, the aerobus was only 6euro from the airport and it dropped us 2 mins from the hotel. The room was clean and the AC was good. Only complaint was noise. Would stay here again for the price!!

Just the Basics
I chose this hotel for a single night stay after a 7-day European cruise. I was simply looking for a bed and Internet and got that with this hotel. This is no-frills, but is easily located of the Universitat Metro station (L1) and easy walking distance to La Rambla. My only concern was with the AC which didn't seem to want to function properly. After speaking with the front desk several times, they did offer to move me to a new room, but since it was only for one night, I decided to stay in my initial room, which did eventually cool down in the evening.

A Bargain?
Your kind of place if you like sleeping on a piece of plywood. The room was so small there was only a desk chair to sit on. It was unseasonably warm, but no AC as the system was still in winter mode. Bathroom tiny but clean and serviceable .

A Perfect Three on Five
Most of the staff (kudos to Laura) - were very helpful. Some staff may need little more training. Room was comfortable and overall good location. On our last night, Alarm was tripping ALL NIGHT (yup, 11 Pm to 6 AM) - I don't blame hotel for that.
