We went to Barcelona to combine watching England v Andorra with a long weekend break. We therefore booked this hotel as it was near to the Olympic Stadium (in the Montjuic area). The hotel is about a mile from the stadium and a very pleasant walk. It's also about a mile from Las Ramblas but there is also a metro... more

The Ayre Hotel Gran Via is a modern, stylish hotel located close to Placa Espanya - just a couple of minutes walk from the metro stop. It has a very "boutique" hotel look and the bathrooms (shower only though) are fantastic. However, the hotel has one or two problems which some travellers might find annoying. Firstly, the beds are rock... more

As we were staying for 7 nights in Barcelona we wanted to make sure we stayed at a comfortable hotel. The hotel was easy to find and the location not bad. Its generally a tube ride into the very heart of barcelona but its only a couple of stops and is very fast, efficient, cheap, and the stop is only... more

This hotel was perfectly positioned for my short stay in Barcelona. It´s right beside the Plaza de España and Montjuic Park. It´s also a 12 minute walk from Sants Station. Arriving at the airport, exit the terminal building and turn right. The blue Aeroport bus stops at a stand which is at the front of the building to the right.... more

My teenage daughter and I stayed at the Ayre Hotel Gran Via for a week while exploring Barcelona. I had emailed the hotel prior to arriving, asking for an inward-facing (quiet), non-smoking room with twin beds. When we arrived, everything was perfect! The English- speaking staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The room is large by European standards and it was... more

We loved several things about the Ayre: (1) it is QUIET. You hear no noise from other rooms or from the hallway. Our room did not face the street. Ask for one that faces the interior. (2) it is clean and very modern in decor. The rooms are large. (3) the hotel left us two bottles of plain water and... more

Have just return from a wonderful stay at the Ayre Hotel Gran Via in Barcelona. The Hotel is situated within walking distance of a number of sights, such as the Magic fountain, poble espanyol and a great shopping street. Its also 5 mins from two of the open top bus stops which is a great way to view the city.... more

I'm just back from Barcelona where I stayed in the Ayre Hotel Gran Via for 3 nights. The rooms are nice and clean but very basic. I wouldn't rate this hotel 4 stars as it gives you no extras as you would expect in a 4 star setting. There is no mini bar, just a fridge with free water, no... more

We stayed 2 nights at the Hotel Ayre Gran Via in Barcelona. We were really impressed with how clean, comfortable, and roomy it was. We also got a fantastic rate by booking on venere.com, it was less than $150 in USD per night!! Although it's a good distance from Las Ramblas and other attractions, It's very close to the Metro... more
