While in Barcelona on a business trip, I thouroughly enjoyed staying in this hotel. Firstly, location: it is next to Placa Espanya, so its quite touristy but not noisy or crowded like Las Ramblas area. 2) Transport: the A1 express bus from the airport stops 50 metres from the hotel. Get off at the first stop, walk back 50 metres... more

We had been traveling around barcelona, staying in basic hotels and even camping, and as this was the last part of our trip we booked this hotel as a bit of a treat due to its promised of a top class service, good location and reasonalble price. On arrival we were impressed by the secure under groud parking, (that was... more

Stayed for 4 nights at the end of April 2008. Hotel was very very stylish, super clean and the staff were really helpful. Only downsides for us were the location - only 4 tube stops outside of town but there isn't anything of interest in the vicinity or any decent bars/restaurants. Also the hotel itself could maybe do with a... more

We stayed at the Ayre Hotel, Gran Via as part of a round-the-world honeymoon trip. We booked the Ayre Hotel at the last minute and got a great rate on our room (admittedly it was the low season). Our room was spacious, tidy and modern. I fell in love with the bathroom, which was huge and well-lit, two things that... more

My boyfriend booked for us to go to Barcelona for 2 nights at this hotel for my birthday. I initially looked the location of the hotel up on a map of Barcelona and thought it was a long way out of the centre......how wrong was I!! The location is perfect for exploring all of Barcelona's beautiful areas. We were welcomed... more

This is an excellent hotel, with great transport connections. The Airport Bus drops you about 50 metres from the hotel, and Metro Line 1 is about a 2 minute walk. In addition to this, there is an FGC station about the same distance away with trains to Montserrat, which was one of the main reasons for our visit. I would... more

Loved the hotel! On the map, and reading other reviews, you think it's a further out than it really is. I've been to Barcelona 3 times now, and this was definately my favorite visit, and the hotel really made it. It's in an ideal location, near the Poble Espana and other tourist sights, and only 5 mins on the underground... more

My husband and myself went on a city break to Barcelona. We were only looking for a cheap and cheerful hotel but struck gold when we got this place. Our room was stunning, very modern, clean and spacious and had a great shower. Only 4 stops on the metro from Las Ramblas, this hotel is a gem. The staff were... more

I was in Barcelona for a company conference and decided to add a couple of extra nights at the beginning and end of the conference to do some sightseeing. Since I was paying my own way for the extra nights, I decided to stay at the Ayre Hotel Gran Via instead of the ridiculously expensive, 5-star hotel that my company... more
