Gran Derby Barcelona Location (Map)
Gran Derby Hotel is located between the two main avenues in the city, Diagonal and Sarrià, easy to reach from the airport and the trade fair grounds.
Located on the upper part of the Diagonal Avenue and surrounded by other broad streets, this is the ideal base for going shopping in the prestigious and fashionable shopping malls including L’illa, one of the largest in Barcelona. The range of goods available is complemented by a succession of boutiques by the most prominent Spanish and international fashion designers.
Just a short stroll away is the Pedralbes monastery and palace, which houses the ceramics and decorative arts museums. The Bus Turístic, ideal for guests wishing to see the entire city in a short time, has a stop right next to the hotel. The historic city centre is 15 minutes away and across the most iconic Barcelona landscape, the Eixample district.
In the hotel vicinities, you will find a myriad of shops and links to the rest of the city.

Service, clean, breafeast was excellent20 Jul 09
Good location but be prepared to walk to the metro or catch a bus into the city centre. we up graded to a superior room and were very glad that we did as it was well worth the extra cost (not too much)the staff were very civil and helpful, the pool was fine and the bed was very comfortable!we stayed an extra night.
Its a quiet location and thats a great thing if you dont fancy the noise from the ramblas!15 Jun 09
Lovely small pool nearly always empty sunny from 10-5 every day so had best of both worlds - near to green open bus tour and walkable to harbour in 40minsWe booked a junior suite due to the web images and were advised they were of a different hotel so 1st room was shabby and upgrade cost extra £20 a night for which we could have stayed at a better hotel from the website 11 May 09
In general nice hotel, liked the design and location in barcelona however far from metro station. staff was friendly and polite.Noise from other rooms. bathrooms in duplex rooms need to be upgraded. looks old. service staff need to communicate more with guests during the stay. tv poor quality not enough channels. does not meet 4 stars standards.13 Apr 09
Great hotel staff, even though it was a bit out of the way from the train/metro station, it was in relative to the cost of the hotel, which was an excellent value.In general, most of the hotel staff were very good, there was one or two that did not seem to spend the effort to answer the inquries i had.26 Nov 08
Located 5 minute walk from sants metro and mainline with links to the airport and to other parts of spain. it is out of the main city but that was perfect for us as it was quiet. the tourist bus is 1 minute walk away and an excellant pizza resaraunt almost next door, which is run by an award winning chef.
the hotel is decorated to a very high standard with individual art work all around the hotel. the hotel staff were all very helpful and friendly and were always able to answeren any questions we had. our bags were taken to and from our roomand we were always greeted at the door.In winter the terrece and pool are shut, there is no indoor pool.
our room wasnot sound proof, there was a young family nextdoor and the children could be heard often running upand down the stairs and shouting. this did not effect our stay as it was just 1 or 2 days and the hotel did not generally have children in it.01 Sep 08
All the staff was most helpful and courteous. nice place plenty of room. convenient to both synagogues.The night manager was pretty nasty when we had to ask him to do a favor for us because of our sabbath observance.
