Eurostars Grand Marina Hotel

Possibly the most important factor when choosing a hotel is the location. Situated in the port, the Grand Marina is a little off-centre, but not too bad. It's an easy walk to the Ramblas (literally minutes), and from there you MUST check out the La Boqueria fresh food market http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Boqueria

But back to the hotel. It's clean, well laid-out (very nice wide hallways), and has great facilities (the gym is fantastic). The food was nice too, from the few room service meals I ordered.

One thing did irritate me about the hotel, however. I received a wake-up call (which I did not order) at 6:20 one morning, and upon drowsily asking "who is this?", they hung up on me. I can only assume it was the hotel reception, because they then phoned again, and when I (more alert now) asked who it was, they hung up on me again. Five minutes later, a knock at my door shouting "wake-up call!" actually got me out of bed, where I peevily informed the hotel employee that I didn't order a wake-up call. The poor sod with a similar-sounding hotel room number that slumbered on, they'll never know.

Nicer, more central hotels exist in Barcelona, but if you're looking for accommodation near the harbour and beach, the Grand Marina is perfect. Just make sure you set a back-up alarm yourself when ordering a wake-up call...

This place is very upmarket and the staff are very helpful. The beds are very comfortable and lots of blankets. Its nicely situated next to the marina where luxury ships arrive, makes the views interesting.

Hotel in Barcelona is very well situated. The hotel has several bars and shops. The hotel is situated in a quiet area. The hotel has very good facilities. They offer two swimming pools, spa and sauna, massage. The hotel overlooks the sandy dony and lift, view from the hotel I liked. Our room was modern, the room we had the wifi conections. The room is air-conditioned and we had even safe for jewelry and all were included the hotel. The hotel has tennis courts, which I use every day. This Barcelona hotel is really excellent. And to reserve it for next year.

Amazing hotel in the middle of the port in Barcelona. The bath or more precisely the bath landscape is enormous, the room a dream. It's best not to talk about prices spent in these kind of hotels, almost priceless. The food was great, the service perfect. All this would already make it a top hotel. But added to that there is the location and the full-on panoramic view over the port (look at photos). Oh yes, the cable-car goes right to the door ; )
