Ayre Hotel Gran Vía

The style of the hotel very modern, nice washroom/shower and heated towel rack. But not enough lights, too dark.

The room was facing the main street. No noisy reducer, the noise of cars and people walking by (talking) 24 hours caused me not to get enough sleep. It kept me waking up. The walls too thin!!!!

Location,location,location. Next to a subway station and the airport shuttle buses. Its central Plaza Espanya is wonderful as it is next to the magic fountains and the museums. 3 subway stops from Plaza Catalunya. The rooms are roomy and the shower is enormous. Loved that the floor was dark wood and rug free. Greatly appreciated the in room fridge as well as complimentary bottles of water.

We slept with ear plugs and had a wonderful night of sleep. A light sleeper could find front rooms noisy. (Although not half as noisy as any room on the Rembla)

The design was great. The breakfast very good. Staff very kind and polite. The bathroom clean and nice.

The room could be more cozy

The hotel is just 200yrds away from the airport bus stop. We arrived at 10.30am and there was a room available for us. Hotel is situated in good position for sightseeing

The restaurant was very small 2 members of staff not enough information as to what was available

The room was spacious and clean. The hotel was close to the Metro/Espana and only three stops from the centre of town Catalunya/La Rambla. There were shops and a supermarket close by. If you stay there on a Friday or Saturday night go around the corner of the plaza Espana towards the Museum and experience the amazing 7.30 and 8.30 pm Light and Music displays of the fountains. It's awesome!

The beds were too firm and the trafic noisy as it's situated on the Gran Via, the main drag.

Close to the Magic Fountains

Hotel staff was, by and large, rude......Air conditioning was not adequate and room thermostat could not be set below 15C. Was charged for breakfast which we did not eat. When I pointed out the mistake, the staff said they could not issue a credit although the restaurant had a record that three of us (all in our party) did not eat there.

I booked the hotel long time in advance at a fair price - breakfast included! (106 euro per night). Obviously this is more a business hotel than a vacation hotel. Nevertheless I paid a fair price - had a good room - no problems with staff and the breakfast was excellent (despite all the negative criticism in the guest reviews) The price for the breakfast is indeed at a high level but everything is mentioned on the internet, so people should know in advance what they have to pay. We have nothing negative to mention.

The customer service was great the staff were very helpful and the room was spacious and clean. Thank you

closenss to some of the shopping markets, closeness to the airport, and easy to take 'turist' and 'public' buses

Stinginess of the hotel staff was so remarkable. Breakfast was not included and we had to pay 15 Euros/person. This breakfast definitly did not deserve 15 euros. Even they aksed me to pay for my 3 years old son!!! I did not like this attitute. Before booking this hotel I read guest reviews about this hotel but said no it can not be possible. But now I witnessed all the weak points of this hotel.

Great location near important node in the city, clean room and lobbies, friendly staff, cosy design in rooms, good service, very good rate.

No balconies and only one window can be opened, some problems with the internet, very expensive breakfast.

Location was excellent

There was no Ironing room and one had to pay 5 euro's to get an item ironed which is poor for a 4 star. Secondly breakfast was a staggering 12-15 euro's

Service was excellent, the place very convenient (next to metro), the fact that the rooms were very quiet. In the room there is also a city guide, with extremely useful information about the city.

The breakfast price (too expensive, 15€/person!). If they reduce it, the customer will be able to stay and take breakfast too (for example we did not, we ate outside). Also they should reconsider how good is the car rental company they work with (they couldn't give us a car when we wanted and were noo punctual in informing us).
