Stayed for three nights in early April 2007 in a Premier room overlooking the City, so a superb view from the small balcony. The hotel is certainly modern and perhaps appears a bit focused on the business traveller, but we also found it very well appointed and comfortable. The room was modern and well equiped, The young staff were all excellent - very friendly, efficient and happy to help. The location we thought was great - OK it's a ten minute walk to the bottom of Las Ramblas, but once you have been there for a promenade up and down, you don't really need to do it again (in reality the best bits of Barcelona are slightly further afield) so you are going to be jumping into taxis anyway, and these were plentiful right outside the hotel entrance. Compared to some hotels we have stayed in in Barcelona the Grand Marina is very quiet, but be prepared for the rumble of the occasional ferry docking or departing from the marina. Overall, would definitely go back. But if you want a more quirky boutique hotel then this would be too "high end corporate" for you possibly.
