Gran Hotel La Florida

The location is the best you can get in Barcelona. I had a rented car so it helped to reach Tibidabo and get into town almost every day.

The mosquitos were fierce!

Air condition not up to standard, gym lacks freee weights.

It's everything you want from a 5-star hotel plus, of course, the beautiful location. The food and drinks are okay, not very swanky. The pool and terrace are top. Plus the staff is very friendly. Rooms are large, tidy and luxurious.

With the risk of sounding very old... but I think the management of Gran Hotel La Florida decided to make the hotel more appealing for a younger target audience. And in their wisdom, they probably decided it would be cool to have a DJ on the terrace, playing very loud deep-house. Every evening. And that's just annoying. Especially when you have dinner on the terrace with your family, you can't even hear each other speak. You try to enjoy the hotel, the view, you try to get some rest after travel, but all you hear is the boring and irritating boom-tssj-boom-tssj-boom-tssj from the DJ.

Location

Diner in so called signature / gastronomic restaurant ; better find a restaurant down town

The renaissance style and high class feel to the hotel. Much more than what I expected it to be. I stayed in a deluxe room so can’t comment on the standard rooms but amazing!

Nothing

Food and views were excellent

Not the place to be on your own. Didn’t really cater for people eating in their own. Staff at dinner a bit abrupt.
