Duquesa Suites Hotel by Grup Duquessa

The area surrounding the hotel was under construction during our visit which is not the fault of the hotel. As a result of the construction, a lot of homeless were around who would urinate in alleys and building walls creating an awful smell nearby the entrance. Obviously once construction is done, this should cease. But worth knowing in the near term. The pictures on the website are not true to form for the pool area. It is outdated, small and not well maintained. View is great though. What makes this hotel worth every penny is the staff and the gigantic rooms. The location is fantastic as well. They have a much nicer sister hotel a few doors down, too. Loved our stay. The pros outweighed any negatives I listed above.

Great location and suites are well laid out. The pool is very small and shallow, so you can't swim.

Meget velkommende personale. Værelset var ikke klar til tiden, så jeg fik en voucher på en drink på søsterhotellet (hvor også et lille, beskidt træningscenter ligger). Men et par minutter efter fandt receptionisten et andet værelse højere oppe - rigtig fin service. Der er meget trafikstøj ved hotellet, men det er ikke overraskende for placeringen. Hotellet ligger lige ved de gamle og meget turisttunge, smalle gader. Pænt værelse med en god seng og et lille, funktionelt køkken med udstyr nok til at lave et almindeligt måltid. Desværre er der lugtgener fra kloakken i den gamle bygning; jeg fik styr på det ved at dække afløb i køkken og bruseniche. Udsigten fra 4. sal mod havn og by er fremragende gennem de to store fløjdøre, men nogen rigtig balkon har man ikke.

Chambre au top, hotel situé à proximité du port et des ruels où on se perd pour les bonnes choses. Piscine au dernier étage. Ensuite piscine est un grand mot, plutôt un point d eau pour enfant en bas âges. Réception, plutôt un comptoir.

The views from the rooftop bar and pool were fabulous!

Elevator broken, A/c went out 2 times. Had to move rooms. Then it happened again the next day. Place is run down.

My family had a fantastic 3-night stay. We enjoyed the location and the rooftop. Although the pool was closed the entire time, the bar and staff were great.

朝食は、近くの系列ホテルまで1分くらい歩いて行って食べる必要があります。

Rooftop with great views, dipping pool

Enkelt greit hotell m sentral beliggenhet og et lite svømmebasseng og bar på taket. Frokosten var på nabohotellet. God service og imøtekommende ansatte.

Chambre d’hôtel moyenne, peut de luminosité si ce n’est pas de luminosité extérieur, douche avec une mauvaise évacuation dès l’eau Mais sinon bien équipe produit d’hygiène de qualité, linge propre, lit confortable sauf le coussin de mon lit qui sentait l’humidité. Dans l’ensemble c’est un 6/10 pour moi bien pour un petit week-ends mais pas plus

Las suites están muy bonitas y en excelente estado, pero lo que más me gusto fue la amabilidad de los recepcionistas, sobre todo de Ana. Regresaría sin dudarlo.

Très belle chambre mais une odeur de remontée d'égouts dans la salle de bain pendant l'entièreté de notre séjour malgré l'aération continue de celle-ci en ouvrant la fenêtre (chambre 401). En dehors de ce point fort désagréable, le séjour s'est très bien passé.

Riktigt bra rum, rent och snyggt, fantastisk personal och en suverän frukost på systerhotellet. Terrassen och poolen på våning sex ett superplus.

The A/C didn't properly work and the room had some smell. Overall, I don't think the experience is worth it.

Shower did not closed and water got all over the place reported also drainage problems. They never fixed and overpayed thinking its a nice hotel, if you find another option better go there.

Trevligt bra hotell i en bra läge nere vid båthamnen. Mycket trevlig personal. Lite sliten inredning i rummet - men rent och fräscht. Enda nackdelen är att frukosten är på ett annat hotell typ 150 meter ner längs gatan.

Linens were stained with ink on the first night and blood on the second night and the elevator was broken. The staff was friendly and the location was great, but highly do not recommend staying here.

Das Zimmer sieht gut aus. Jedoch fehlen Kommoden oder Ablagen im Bad. Der Spiegel im Schrank ist leider nicht zu gebrauchen, da sich die Tür nicht ganz öffnen lässt. Zudem ist ein Fernseher dahinter...??! Das Zimmermädchen reinigt die Zimmer täglich und sehr gut, jedoch scheinen die Vorhänge etwas fleckig, brauch ich im Hotel mit 400,00 pro Nacht nicht. Ferner sind neben uns auf der Straße 5 Müllcontainer, die riesig sind. Alle kommen vorbei und schmeißen etwas weg, gestern Nacht dann Abholung der Flaschen. Super. Stadt ja, aber so nicht. Der Wäscheservice wurde mir beim Check in vorenthalten. Toll, wandere jetzt mit dreckiger Wäsche weiter. Vielleicht finden wir ja ein Hotel mit kommunikativem Personal. Überhaupt ist der Check in Bereich sehr übersichtlich. Es gibt KEINE Lobby. Ich meine so ein 4 Sternehotel sollte doch eine Lobby haben. Evtl. auch Personal, das einem ein bisschen etwas über die nähere Umgebung erzählt. Oder einem mal einen kleinen Plan in die Hand drückt. Der Junge am Empfang wusste nicht einmal, ob am Sonntag ein Bäcker in der Nähe geöffnet hat. Hallo!!! 4 Sterne. Die Dachterrasse war genauso groß wie meine Terrasse letztes Jahr auf Kreta. So und da soll ich dann in den Pool gehen, der so groß ist wie meine Badewanne und so tief wie mein Waschbecken. Dann feierten da gerade welche Kindergeburtstag, ja genau das brauche ich in den Ferien. Es war laut, zu laut. Zumal die Terrasse ja naja Balkongröße hat.

The room was spacious with beautiful views. I would come back. They should have early check. Check in at 3:00 pm and s very late.

Rooms were spacious, well kept, and had lovely views. Rooftop pool and bar tables. Nice location at end of gothic quarter, easy to walk into shops and restaurants and also easy to access by taxi on main road in front.

On Expedia they showed an exterior room as a picture and we had an interior room. Quiet but no view of any kind. Lobby area was weak

Lage ist gut am künstlerischen Viertel El Born und sehr nah am Hafen und zum Strand ist es auch nicht weit. Wir haben uns extra für ein Apartment entschieden, damit wir nicht jeden Abend essen gehen müssen. Das Apartmant hat aber wirklich nicht zum verweilen eingeladen, sodass wir doch wieder jeden Abend essen waren. Leider sehen die Möbel und das Apartment insgesamt teilweise schon sehr mitgenommen aus. Der Lack des Esstischs war an allen Kanten abgeplatzt. Die Federkernmatratze ist auch nicht mehr die Beste. Es war okay, vier Sterne waren es aber nicht. Preis/Leistung eher mäßig.

This hotel fell very short of our expectations and the reviews. It felt like a 3 star property at the most. The room we were assigned (family suite) bedroom windows open directly to the huge outdoor rubbish bins and the smell will not allow you to keep your windows open. There is mould I. The bathrooms, the furniture is very old and the inconvenience of having breakfast in the sister hotel is not ideal which is down the road in a bit so safe area. The pool is a small shallow dipping pool. And there is no staff until 2pm. So if you arrive early you need to wait in the hot sun until you can even get a glass of water. Drinks are super expensive. 14 euros for a non alcoholic drink. And the front desk was not able to arrange a taxi back to the hotel. The only convenience of this location was the 2 single beds but unfortunately they were attached as well.

The staff were very pleasant and extremely helpful throughout our staff. The room was well equipped, tastefully decorated and very comfortable. The location provided easy access to shops, restaurants, attractions and the train station. We would definitely stay here again when in Barcelona!

Spacious room and amazing area!

Very responsive to need to move to another room as Wifi was not working.. Gracias!!

The first impression of the small foyer does not reflect the hotel itself. We had lovely suite facing the Port Vell area. Our stay was quiet, room was small but nice in this boutique hotel. The toiletries were lovely Rituals brand. Robes and slippers provided. Only issue that we found were the beds were not good. This could be a perfect stay except for the beds that the hotel should upgrade. This would make it perfect. 4 star rating based on this. There is a lovely rooftop pool and bar. Great view of the harbour Port Vell. First stop as we got in since our room wasn’t ready as we arrived early afternoon. FYI, breakfast is a short walk to the neighbouring sister hotel. The America’s Cup was on when we were there and it was a nice spot to enjoy it. Sundays most shops are closed except the Maremagnum is open. We could walk to La Rambla easily and the hop on hop off is across the boulevard. We enjoyed the location and transportation available near this hotel. We enjoyed our stay.

Great hotel, we'll located for exploring the city. We stayed in the Duquessa Suites which have a kitchenette and was great for a family of four - the room was big with a separate bedroom for the adults and single beds for the kids. The only downside is the noise from the road from our room - solved by ear plugs which we always take just in case!

Staff is attentive and helpful, front desk Anna and the night shift gentleman were cheerful and passionate to guide you through the check in process and take care the luggage storage and

Location couldn’t be better, in the Gothic quarter with a view of the marina and a 15 minute walk to Barceloneta beach. The staff was amazing and friendly, helpful, always with a smile. Shout out to Jostin and Victor for going above and beyond.

Las suites están muy bonitas y en excelente estado, pero lo que más me gusto fue la amabilidad de los recepcionistas, sobre todo de Ana. Regresaría sin dudarlo.

Anna and the other members of the staff were awesome!!

This hotel is fantastic. The staff was probably the best I've ever encountered at a hotel. The room was comfortable, clean and they allowed us to check in a little early. It isn't an issue to walk a short distance to their sister hotel for breakfast. The buffet was outstanding with a lot of choices and open 7 until 11am. Their staff was amazing as well. Both hotels have roof top bars with great views of the harbor. They also gave my wife and I a voucher for a free drink for my wife and me. Also, the location was perfect to walk around the city. I can't praise this place enough.

The customer service was outstanding at the hotel. I also loved the location, walkable to the beach and gothic quarter, shopping area and the market.

Excellent staff with great service

The staff were very helpful. They went out of the way to make us comfortable aiding in directions, and helping with the difficulties we incurred. Thank you for a great stay.

Edgar was excellent! He made is feel safe and at home. He recommended some good places to eat and even called a taxi for us. He was very helpful and nice!

Amazing location, great rooftop, and close to everything. Daniel at the front desk was very helpful.

Right near Marina and Beach but also basically in Gothic Qtr…beautiful old building woth amazing rooftop, tight on space but plenty of livong space and a kitchen!!!

Spacious apartment in a great location. Able to get all over the City form there and very convenient for the entertainment on the harbour.

Great location

Great location, but a massive amount of construction nearby. Quiet but dark room. Avoid interior rooms if at all possible.

The rooms were excellent, as was the communication and helpfulness of the staff. The entry was sparse as there was no actual hotel lobby. The location itself was super convenient but underwhelming, located around a somewhat dingy and quiet corner off a main street. Some of our impression of the street may have been exacerbated by all the construction on the streets outside.

This property is as central as you can get. Close to waterfront, restaurants, transit … an ideal location! On the edge of the ultra cool Gothic district and across the street from the marina and the waterside promenade and bike paths that go for kilometres. The property itself is equipped with useful kitchens and cool old balconies. It is older but nicely maintained. The rooftop deck is equipped with a bar, a plunge pool and a beautiful view. The front desk staff were all awesome. Congenial and very helpful! The location is very safe but one thing thing that I would caution is that there is a lot of traffic outsidr so if you are a light sleeper, ask for one of the inside rooms. I would highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It was walkable to many attractions in Barcelona. It felt secure as there was always someone at the door or the door was locked. There are restaurants on nearly every block around the hotel. There is a market just a few doors down. The front desk staff were always friendly; addressing us each time we went by and providing directions when asked. We would happily stay here again.

Outstanding staff, extremely friendly and helpful. Terrific location. A bit of a walk to the nearest subways, but there were many to choose from (including Francia Station for fast rail trips) and the buses were everywhere. So convenient to everything in the Old City!

Trevligt bra hotell i en bra läge nere vid båthamnen. Mycket trevlig personal. Lite sliten inredning i rummet - men rent och fräscht. Enda nackdelen är att frukosten är på ett annat hotell typ 150 meter ner längs gatan.

I loved the location of the property, everything is within walking distance.

Väldigt tråkig med hotel utan restaurang och bar samt ingen frukost eller roomservice. Frukost kunde dock fås i annat bygg några 100 m ifrån. Men jag är av typen att jag vill ha allt i samma bygg. Så för mig blir det inget återbesök på detta hotel.

Beautiful room & location, friendly & helpful staff. Delicious breakfast in sister hotel.

Excelente acomodação. Localização excelente, cama boa, banhos de qualidade tb. O café é servido no Cardona que é muito bom

Great location. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Went to sister hotel for buffet. Was over priced and not stocked very well.

Great location!!!! Definitely hit Boda B for best sandwich Ever!!! We loved the location of this property ~ clean ~ friendly and wonderful breakfast

Great stay, great location, spacious clean and comfortable rooms. Enjoyed the rooftop food, drinks, plunge pool and atmosphere. Would definitely stay again!
