Outstanding Stay... skip everything else and just come here Just spent a week in Barcelona staying at the Casagrand Luxury Suites with my family celebrating a milestone birthday.

First: Our group. 3 couples and a single woman. Birthday boy turned 40, and included parents who are in their 70's. Others were somewhere in the middle, but all experienced travelers who have generally high standards for lodging.

First: Our group. 3 couples and a single woman. Birthday boy turned 40, and included parents who are in their 70's. Others were somewhere in the middle, but all experienced travelers who have generally high standards for lodging.

Second: Our room: Principal Floor, Room 1 (only room on the floor). 5 beds, 4 baths.

Location: I sorta did zero research into Barcelona before booking or arriving on site, so I didn't know what I was walking in to. After a week, I can tell you that this place is right smack in the middle of everything - open google maps and type in what you want to go to - seems like everything is a kilometer in any given direction, so it couldn't be more centralized if it wanted to. There is a lovely walking district across the street for breakfast (Bo Pan was great!), Starbucks if needed. Fantastic restaurants such as Catalona Cerveza as recommended by Sasha at the front desk - fantastic tapas. There is a pharmacy next door, and several small grocery stores on the next block if you decide you need some supplies, or want to make dinner in the unit as we chose to do one night. One block over is the high rent district if you feel the need to buy a Prada bag or Channel scarf or whatever people buy in those places.

The Unit: It seems that all the units are close in spec, but not identical like a hotel would be - ours didn't match the pictures in terms of exact layout, but style and general layout was close enough. Bright white walls, minimalistic and stylish appointments such as artwork and decor that are calming and make you feel like you're staying someplace special. Floors throughout are wide planked wood (guessing an engineered floor, but not a cheap laminate). The building was built like a tank - very solid construction and therefore sound doesn't travel through walls, etc. Appliances are all modern and top notch, as are cabinets, plumbing fixtures, etc. The unit is laid out as a long hall, with the bedrooms in a row. I never heard anything from any of the rooms, despite my parents blaring CNBC in the next room. Someone did say they heard someone snoring one night, but I find that hard to believe. The windows are well sealed - we heard street noise for the first two nights, and then I realized that my husband neglected to properly latch the window - once that was done, it was virtually silent except for the occasional siren.

Bathrooms came with daily refresh of Molton Brown products, luxurious towels, and a basic cleaning. The beds are very comfortable with fantastic sheets and pillows.

The Staff: This is what makes this place so awesome. There is a 24/7 front desk that is manned by one staff member across 3 shifts. You could call down at any time and request things like refreshed bottled water (as we frequently did), taxis (though they could always be hailed right from the street, but with a larger group it was easier at times to have them just come on request), or recommendations for dinner or things to do. We especially enjoyed working with Sasha and Minerva who were always willing to answer our questions or help us out. Sasha insisted that we always call her on the phone rather then coming to the lobby, but we enjoyed her company so much we would often just go down stairs and surround the desk and throw questions at her. The cleaning crew were often like ninjas - we didn't see them, but we'd come back and the place would be all picked-up and reset. Each night, another gentlemen would come back to get us more water. Since there are only a handful of units in the building, the service is very personal - after a day, the staff knows who everyone is, and you build a true rapport with them. They learn your preferences and what you like, and they're able to provide better service as a result.

In my professional life, I visit a lot of 5-star properties, mostly in the US, and I can say that this place stacks up. It's all the benefits of a hotel, but with the freedom and space of an airbnb - couldn't have chosen a better place to go with my family and friends. If I return to Barcelona, no doubt this is where I'll stay. –

You will LOVE this place Rented a 4 BR 3 bath unit for a girls trip. The accommodations were superb, the location excellent and the staff very accommodating. We were very happy with all aspects of our stay, including the comfortable beds, the luxurious showers with tons of hot water and the beautiful rooftop terrace. If you are looking at a rental at CasaGrand, do not hesitate to book it, you will LOVE this place.

Amazing, clean property in a great location! I cannot recommend highly enough Casagrand for families and friends travelling in groups! My girlfriends and I stayed in this truly beautiful and luxurious property for a fraction of the cost of what a luxury hotel would have been.

My girlfriends and I stayed in this truly beautiful and luxurious property for a fraction of the cost of what a luxury hotel would have been. The location was excellent, only a block and half away from the closest subway station, a block away from Las Ramblas with all its shops and cafes, and just two short blocks away from major attractions such as La Casa Mila and Casa Batllo.

We stayed in a five-bedroom, three-bathroom unit that was extremely comfortable and well-appointed. There was a lovely balcony that wrapped all the way around the entire building. Bedroom 2 had its own private patio area too. Upon check-in to our apartment, we were greeted with a bottle of cava and a nice milk cake. The apartment was also furnished with a bottle of milk, bottles of filtered drinking water (which were replaced as often as we required, which was very often), coffee pods for the Nespresso coffee machine, and a full set of glassware, dinnerware, kitchen utensils and cookware, among other things. The bathrooms were furnished with quality towels and Molton Brown bath products. The beds were also very comfortable! Because the weather was cold, we did not avail of the rooftop patio and pool, though I'm sure it's lovely in the warmer months.

The staff were also extremely helpful and friendly. Other than a few instances of miscommunication due to the language differences, the staff all handled our needs graciously and promptly. Agradecimiento especiales a Cristiano, Teresa, Sasha, and all others. We had a fantastic stay! –

Water bottles get filled up daily as well as daily maid service. There is a mini-mart just 2 minutes walk away and the Mercat de la Llibertad is 10 min walk. The neighborhood is full of places to eat, bars, tapas, etc. Bus stops connect you easily to the rest of the city and the Metro line is 5 min walk. Highly recommend this place to stay a few days.

Best apartments anywhere in the world Casagrand must be the best apartments I've ever stayed in anywhere in the world.

Amazing staff that were super accommodating for us. We had a large group stay here and with their help it was super easy for everyone. The apartments were absolutely gorgeous!

Perfect Rooms with Terrific Service We stayed at Casagrand for two nights in the Summum Suite, which can house 9 people at maximum capacity, sort of an overkill for our group of 4. The first thing you nitice about the suite itself is how spacious it is. Then you notice the individual features, like separate thermostats for each room, the kitchen which probably has every tool you need and then some, and so on.

The first thing you nitice about the suite itself is how spacious it is. Then you notice the individual features, like separate thermostats for each room, the kitchen which probably has every tool you need and then some, and so on. The rooms are remarkably clean and well kept, and they stayed that way for the remainder of our trip. The rooftop pool and the sauna provide nice accents for the stay.
While the hardware of the property is excellent, the people of Casagrand are also superb. They will help you with standard concierge tasks like finding amazing restaurants and calling taxis. They will also go beyond their duty and help you track that phone you left on the taxi to the airport.
The superb location doesn't even require an explanation. Look at the map!
All in all, a great place to stay, and with these prices, I do not see a reason not to choose Casagrand for your next group trip to Barcelona. –

Best place in Barcelona for groups! This could be the best place for groups in Barcelona. Location: Central with easy access to anywhere in Barcelona yet not in the crowded touristy area. Flat: very spacious +200sqm with 5 rooms (summum suite), very clean, high quality furnishing and amenities. Staff: Always available, accommodating and nice, Facilities: small gym with a rooftop terrace and plunge pool! Highly recommended for a group of at least 4 people.

Fantastic apartment in the heart of Barcelona We stayed as a group of 8 in one apartment and had an amazing time. The space is beautiful - and so large! The staff were wonderfully helpful, considerate and helped organise something for our guest of honour as a surprise. The apartment is clean and wonderfully equipped, we didn't want to leave! Would recommend highly.

Fantastic apartment Casagrand absolutely made our stay. What an amazing apartment - so spacious, so much better than staying in a hotel. Great kitchen, well equipped, Nespresso machine and dishwasher. Bottled water provided daily and cleaning service - couldn’t fault anything. Reception staff happy to help with any queries/recommendations. Good gym and lovely roof terrace. The service providing daily pastries you can order the day before for breakfast was also a big... +Casagrand absolutely made our stay.

The service providing daily pastries you can order the day before for breakfast was also a big bonus and unexpectedly didn’t even carry a huge surcharge for the convenience. Very impressed indeed, wouldn’t stay anywhere else if we return to Barcelona. Location was also great - nearest metro, Diagonal - very well connected. –

Will be back ! The name of the Hotel says it all, but it was more than we expected ! The staff, the Apartment, the surroundings were excellent ! We were so delighted, and all 7 of the family group really enjoyed the stay. The 4 bedroom suite was very well equipped, clean, etc.. My husband and I live in Spain, and we will definitely stay at Casagrand the next time we visit Barcelona.... +The name of the Hotel says it all, but it was more than we expected !

One of the few places where it looks better in real life than the pictures. One of the few places where the rooms look better in real life than on the pictures. Extremely impressed with the quality here, and staff were caring! Only slight negative was the 11am checkout. We all had a night out before, so this was brutal. I do however understand that they need to clean the large rooms before the next guests arrive.

By far the best apartment I've ever stayed in...anywhere!
The space, facilities, number of bathrooms, size of rooms, quality of the bedding, helpfulness of the staff (Thank you again for your assistance all week Sasha!) and even the small finishing touches were all second to none.... +By far the best apartment I've ever stayed in...anywhere!

Totally blown away by the size, luxury and quality of the apartment, and the service from the staff. We were visiting Barcelona for half term with kids and a granny, and the apartment was perfect both as a base and for hanging out. Kids loved it (not least the chance to watch Netflix in their downtime), as well as the adults. Casa Mila / La Pedrera is only a short walk, and we even walked to the Sagrada Familia (c. 25 mins). With the Metro close by, it's easy to get down to La Rambla / across the city. The staff at the front desk were very helpful and gave us great advice on local restaurants (some nice Tapas and a good Italian close by). The rooms were spacious and high quality, with nice touches like Molton Brown products, and even the free tea, coffee and cake on arrival was appreciated! Can't recommend enough. Perfect for a stay in Barcelona. –

Very nice stay. We we're in Barcelona for five days and it was the ideal hotel. The building had one of the best pools that I have been to.

Our apartment was stunning and was absolutely huge, (sleeping 8) - filled with books, beautiful contemporary furniture, lighting and art. Also every possible thing you might need was there, inc toiletries, bath robes, slippers, nespresso machine, all kitchen equpt etc etc. The staff at reception could not do enough for us and were extremely helpful whenever we needed a taxi or information on how to use the metro etc. 15 minute walk to centre of town - perfect place to stay. –

We rented the five bedroom apartment, which was of impeccable quality and top of the line appliances. The location is the best, being on Avinguda Diagonal, and away from the tourist areas with proximity to shops and restaurants. Service is of high quality and always available for you - both in terms of tourism recommendations and needs for the apartment hotel. –
