Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Great hotel, location is perfect. Can take airport bus directly to hotel, within 2 blocks. Metro is 2 blocks. Easy to use metro system. Mall is 2 blocks away. Couldn't be more convenient. Hotel is a couple metro stops from Las Ramblas but very easy to get to other locations in town.2 blocks from Magic fountain. Quieter area than Las Ramblas. Hotel was […] quiet, well maintained and friendly. Let us check in at 9:00 am! Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Room was very clean, beds were good. Small refrigerator in the room, although it never got very cold. Would highly recommend this hotel! Read more

The Ayre Hotel Gran Via was an excellent hotel, very modern, with an excellent staff. Its location was excellent just a few minute away from the metro, trains, and shopping areas.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Beutiful modern hotel with access to aerobus, train, and taxis. English is spoken by the staff and they were very helpful.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

First trip to Barcelona. Ayre hotel was moderately priced and convenient. Breakfast was excellent with good variety. Service was friendly and helpful. Front desk staff spoke fluent English. Would definitely recommend the hotel. Only downside was room was a bit warm which was solved by simply opening the window.

Ok so my last review was obviously for the wrong hotel. But this hotel is great. Location to the metro and airport bus is insanely close, staff is nice and helpful. Rooms are large and roomy. TV is small, but who is watching TV. Great stay, surrounding area is very lively but not much for tourists to do.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

My room was not huge, but was great for the price. Location was fantastic, right around the corner from the Blue Mosque and Aya Sofia. Even closer to the tram.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Very smart hotel. However the, to get charged a room service fee to have a kettle of boiling water brought to your room is ridiculous and to be told by the room service manager to ask for this at the restaurant was abit obsured

Very modern and clean. Close to the airport bus stop and metro station (within 200 meter).

Excellent location, nice service and nice price. It is a great place for business visitors.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Great location for: rail trip t oMontserrat , to the crosstown metro, the weekend dancing waters, and the Aerobus pickup to the airport--all within 1-2 blocks. Would have liked more more than just the one tiny bar of soap for our four day stay, and the phone to the front desk never did work the whole time.

Genuine Expedia guest review

it was fine. but the streets around were too noisy it was difficult to sleep well because of the noises. I think it would be great if they use two layer windows to reduce such noises.

We came right from our two nights stay at Fira Palace Hotel (severak blocks away). The comparision is so obvious. From room, service and everything, Fira Palace was way much better.

Staff was very freindly and helpful. Room was comfortable with a updated bathroom and good internet connection. Easy walking distance to everything. Choices for transportation(subway, Bus, cab) within 200 yards of the entrance to the hotel. Aero bus to airport right out the front door(5.65 euros one-way to airport). Did not try the breakfast due to […] schedule but looked great and was offered at 12 euros. Would definitely stay for business or pleasure(two people) again. Read more

The location of this hotel is the best feature of it. It is very close from the metro and the train station. A big mall is close by that closes late with good restaurants. it is also very close to Palace Montjuic where you can see the fountain light and music spectacle. The rooms are clean and big though the view from the hotel is just a small hall […] to other rooms. The air conditioning took forever to slightly cool the room and the breakfast buffet could have more fresh fruit and better prepared eggs. Make sure you pay for your breakfast in the reception otherwise they will charge you more. Read more

Ayre Gran Via is a good business-like hotel in a very convenient location, next to Plaza de Espana. It’s just steps from the airbus stop, metro station, Barcelona tour bus stop, and the train to Montserrat Monastery. There’s plenty of sightseeing nearby – the magic fountain, Poble Espanyol (“Spanish village’), and the museums on Montjuic mountain. But […] to get to the center, you need to take metro, or it’s 25 minutes walk. The breakfast at the hotel is good with free Cava, and it’s not very expensive. The Hotel is located on a busy street, and I asked for a courtyard room to ensure sound sleep. They accommodated my request, and the room was ready for early check-in at 10 am, which was very impressive. The mattress is a bit hard. Good thing that after all the sightseeing, you’re so tired, so you don’t notice it anymore. The bathroom is modern, and clean. But we could have used a box of tissues, which is standard in the American Hotels. Also there’s no coffee/tea maker in a room. Overall, it’s a good hotel with friendly service, and I can recommend it. Read more

Excellent location, close to major attractions. The rooms were clean and comfortable.

Walking distance to Plaça d'Espanya & train station and many bues. We did not spend enough time there. It is a beautiful place to visit. The hotel was in an ideal location to many tourest sites and the MALL at the bottom of the Stadium. We were only there for less than 24 hours but do to the fact it was so close to so many places we got to see alot. […] The night life was great and close to the hotel. The breatfast was not inclued but there was a breatfast place directly across the street which was very resonalble. Read more

Overall a reasonable choice - close to bus/metro at Pl. Espana. Front desk helpful. Got given a smoking room (in spite of preferences) at first until we asked for another non-smoking room. The hotel did accommodate an early check-in which was nice of them. Hotel hallways smell a bit funky - kind of a cross between stale curry and smoke. AC cannot […] quite keep up with summer weather - the only cool spot in the room was below the AC vent. Free water in minibar. Read more

We had a great time in Barcelona. The Ayre Hotel Grand Via was less than 2 blocks to all the transportation we needed. We did the Hop-on Hop-off bus tour, and rode the subway. We rode the Aerobus to the airport. Everything was easy use and got us to all the places we wanted to see. The hotel staff helped us with places to eat and what was available […] around the area. We enjoyed the "neighborhood" feel when walking on some of the streets. The only unusual thing is the European two narrow twin size beds where in the US it would be two double beds. We had a great stay. Read more

I loved this hotel! Great location; a block from the Plaça d'Espanya & metro station. The staff is very helpful, kind, & professional. The hotel is also very clean & modern. Great buffet breakfast too!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Well located, very modern hotel. It is a bit dark and metallic; the former may well be a green thing. Limited services and although nice and reasonably priced, this is not a 4-star hotel. 3 is more reasonable.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We stayed for 2 nights and while the room was clean and large the AC was not working properly and we woke up at 2am sweltering. However, the staff was helpful and accommodated a room change at 2am. Our next room across the hall was a bit smaller but the AC worked and we enjoyed the rest of our stay

We stayed at the hotel for 5 nights. The first night we stayed in a room that used to be a smoking room, so we can still smell the smoke at night (I assumed it came from the surrounding rooms). The breakfast the next morning was also confused because the hotel system didn't show that our room came with the breakfast. I had to show them a copy of the […] email from Expedia in order to correct this mistake. However, both of these incidents were corrected after the first night. The location was great. Only ~100 meter walk to the Metro, so very convenient. The noise is a bit high in the room, but considering it's right next to a big street, it's understandable. Enjoy it and believe the hotel is worth the money. Read more

Lovely modern hotel in a good location. Excellent room. Avoid the restaurant (high prices, slow service, indifferent food). Hotel is 3 fast subway stops from the heart of town. Tourist bus stop is one block. Cab from airport is about 25 euros. Airport bus stop within one block (8 euros) We have visited Barcelona several times in the past. This was […] easily the nicest Barcelona hotel we have stayed in yet. Highly recommended. Read more

The hotel was in a great location, close to the metro. The hotel room was clean and modern and beautiful. The bathroom was large with a great shower. The only issue, the bed was harder then we are used to.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We've been to Barcelona before and stayed on the Ramblas. For our second leisure trip, we wanted to stay out of the fray and selected this hotel because it was near a Metro station and in an area we hadn't explored yet. As it turns out, the hotel surrounding areas weren't remarkable and we ended up having to use the Metro and buses to go elsewhere for […] not only sightseeing, but also to experience the general atmosphere and find restaurants. The hotel itself was nice, but it didn't really make up for it's location. Next time we'll try the Eixample area. Read more

Ayre Hotel Gran Via is a modern building, with contemporary décor and furnishings. Clean and spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and black-out curtains on the windows. Rooms quiet even in this busy location. But the maid folded the used bathmat and hung it on top of a clean bath towel. Free wi-fi & wired internet. Reception service decent but not spectacular. […] Location is on a very busy street, 1 block from metro & bus stops, and near Museum of Catalynian Art, but otherwise not that close to things. Several cafes and lunch shops nearby, but no reasonably priced restaurants nearby. Hotel’s breakfast buffet is way overpriced (E 13!) Read more

The hotel is walking distance to the Magic Fountain, which is a must-see. Hotel is also close to their Metro, so it's very convenient for commuters. If you have taken the subway in New York, then you'll be fine taking the Metro here. La Rambla - the most famous street in Barcelona is only 3-4 stops depending on which Metro line you take. This wide boulevard […] connects the Plaça de Catalunya, a busy square, to the Monument a Colom, a tall column erected in honor of Christopher Columbus. Read more

I thought this hotel was great and is everything others have said. Good for airport bus, and transport via metro and bus. Staff and facilities really good.

The hotel is modern and clean with friendly staff and a new feel. Free wif-fi. The room was a decent size although the pilows were very thin and you only got one each.

A few local restaurants […] in the big shopping mall on the other side of Placa Espana. A metro ride into the old town and Catalunya or a 20 minute walk. Good value at £45 a night for the room.

Stayed for 3 nights on b&b. breakfast was great and well worth it. Location is really wonderful.

I was travelling with a relation who was mostly in a wheel chair. Everywhere in the hotel is easily accessible, and one room on every floor is specially adapted for wheelchair use: a shower with wide door, "wet room" floor and a seat, and a hanger rail in the cupboard that can be pulled down to wheelchair height.

We took the A1 bus from the airport. 5.50 euros each. (A2 if you're going from T2 :-) Bus stop is 1 min walk from hotel. We were in the middle of everything. 5-10 mins walk from the hotel was the Pueblo Espanya and the colored music fountains. La Rambla is 30 min walk, or 8 euros (10 mins) via taxi. Rooms were super clean. Quiet. Clean. Absolutely no […] issues. Read more

Service is good. I sometimes pester them about directions around Barcelona and they gladly help. Some standard stuff are lacking sometimes in the bathroom and have to ask and they come up with it pretty quick. The hotel is clean and design modern. Free wifi but good enough for low data usage only like browsing and email stuff, no multimedia stuff. If […] you want faster internet access, they have a premium access. Location is near the Plaza Espanya and the Metro station so very convenient. Tip, if you are bothered by noise from traffic, request for a room away from the Gran Via. Read more

An outstanding hotel in every way, no buts just great service and advice no problems with English. Rooms with great comfort and always clean.
