Rough Guide Star
"It might be on one of the city’s noisiest thoroughfares, but the soundproofing does its job handsomely in this wham-glam designer hotel beloved of all the style mags."
Michelin Guide "This contemporary hotel emphasizes modern design and functionality."
Frommer's "Avant-garde and with an astute blend of hedonistic and practical amenities, this dazzling 1920s' office conversion... is one of the latest fashionable hostelries to hit town." Full review
Fodor's "At the edge of the Gothic Quarter, very near the Barcelona cathedral, this fashionable midtown hideaway is popular with business and pleasure travelers alike." Full review

"The 147-room Grand Hotel Central is an upscale property located right on the border of the Gothic Quarter, within walking distance of major attractions and the subway." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This large, elegant hotel has a great location close to the Gothic Quarter and Born. But the real draw is the stunning rooftop pool with spectacular views of the city."
Condé Nast Traveler "With a relaxed atmosphere, this 147-room hotel in the heart of Barcelona—everything seems a ten-minute walk from the front door—is hip without the attitude." Full review
Star Service "The beautiful streamlined tile and marble baths are perhaps the highlights, bright and blessed with good toiletry kits from Gilchrist & Soames, robes, flip flops, hair dryers and magnifying mirrors." Full review
Afar Magazine "This luxury hotel melds historic art deco charm with 21st-century designer sass." Full review
Time Out "Charming Born hotel with one of the best pools in the city on its roof." Full review

"Although the guestrooms are on the small side, this is counter balanced by cutting edge technology and the superb contemporary interior the work of several famous designers."
Frommer's "This eminently stylish addition to the hip Barcelona scene is not as crowded as its name implies, and has a special appeal to cool 30-somethings." Full review
Fodor's "The result is a cheerful avant-garde aesthetic with luxurious details such as high-pressure shower heads." Full review
Lonely Planet "The standard rooms are indeed a little Cramped, but full of designer twirls and a light, white and timber toned décor, all hidden behind an (often illuminated) 1892 façade." Full review
Oyster Upscale
"The Cram hotel is chic and colorful, with more style than a lot of competing properties." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler99.6
"The name may be a bit off-putting, but rest assured the Cram isn’t crammed with anything except a very cool Barcelona crowd." Full review
Star Service "Situated right in the heart of the Eixample, Hotel Cram is well-positioned for shopping and nightlife." Full review
Jetsetter "Modern masterpiece with a Michelin-starred restaurant and a buzzy rooftop pool in Barcelona’s Eixample quarter." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Close to the University of Barcelona, this design-minded property in the Eixample neighborhood is also close to Casa Mila and La Sagrada Familia." Full review
The Telegraph7.0
"The Hotel Cram is more spacious than its unfortunate name might indicate, with a bright, unpretentious design, a Michelin-starred restaurant and a rooftop bar with an enviable view." Full review
