Again you look at the previous reviews & some are raving about the hotel while others do not. In our case WE LOVED IT. 8 great days spent here.We knew from previous visits to Barcelona that the hotel was in a great location. You can catch all the tour buses only 5 minutes walk away at the Columbus Column. The... more

Hotel was great. We travelled here with friends in February celebrating a 40th birthday. The weather was great too, although it started to get a little chilly around 4.00 pm and when travelling on the open top bus, but walking around during the day the sun was warm and very pleasant. We were located on the front of the hotel... more

Stayed here on a room only basis and would recommend this hotel. As mentioned in several other reviews the location of the Duquesa is ideal for seeing the sights. The staff were polite and helpful and the room (which looked onto the courtyard) was clean, comfortable and quiet. The bathroom facilities were excellent with a large walk-in shower and a... more

The building and rooms are beautiful. The staff was barely pleasant. Did not offer assistance unless asked then answered our questions sparingly, without offering any additional advise or ideas. Also of importance, upon departure we realized that two bags of souvenir items (food and knicknacks) were missing (which we didn't bother reporting since we listened to another guests' complaint of... more

Great hotel in a fabulous spot! We stayed three nights and then moved to another hotel because the Duquesa was booked for the weekend. What a difference! If you visit Barcelona (and you really should!) this is where you want to be. The hotel staff could not be friendlier. The rooms, while small by American standards, could not be lovelier.... more

We stayed in this hotel during the exhibition in CCIB that we were a part of. Staying previously on Avenguida Diagonal, we've decided to choose a more central location, even though it would mean a taxi drive to the venue. And we were so right! The hotel is located right on the sea with a beautiful view on the harbor.... more

I did stay in this very good hotel in Januar. I asked for a room with harbourview and got one. Everything in the room and the bathroom, which were both very well-sized, was tip-top; Nice style, good materials, comfortable. Real four-stars luxe. The people at the desk were very friendly and helpfull. And of course the roofterrace is marvellous to... more

We had a nice three night stay from 1/26 - 29/2008. The location of this hotel was great with just a short walk to Las Rambla, the Gothic Quarter and a nice view of the Sea; a quick walk to the Christopher Columbus statue to catch the Bus Touristic tour bus, which is a great way to get to the... more

Stayed at this hotel for 5 nights in November - very pleased with our stay - staff very friendly and professional - spoke English surprisingly well - property well maintained - rooms very clean and well appointed - location excellent as it's only a couple of blocks from Las Ramblas and on the edge of the old town and harbour... more
