We stayed here for 4 nights while touring Barcelona. I cannot stress enought about the superb location of this hotel - it is on a quiet side street steps away from the Placa Catalunya. We were within walking distance to everything - even the beach. We took the bus only once during our entire 4 day stay and that was... more

After enjoying a week at a nearby hotel, The Pulitzer, we moved to the Catalonia Duques because our current hotel was booked. We expected to be disappointed, but were extremely pleased with the Duques. The hotel has old school charm, is modernized, yet retains the original charm. The grand door (although hard to open) and marble stairs give you a... more

Spent just one night at the hotel but was quite impressed. Just yards from Plaza Catalonia and the Ramblas. High point is the pool and adjoining bar. Our room was a little small and with no view but we only booked on the day and the hotel was full. Very comfortable bed and good bathroom with a bath big enough... more

Well, after reading all the reviews i booked a room in this hotel - and it was well worth it! The location is absolutely wonderful, 10 seconds walking to the plaça catalunya (the beginning of 'Las Ramblas'). The hotel itself is quiet (it's not located on the main street), and the room we got was a Standard Double bed room... more

What a hotel! A couple of hundred yards from Plaza Catalunya so relatively quiet, but a minute away from central Barcelona's attractions. Highly recommend taking a two day ticket on the open-topped tour buses; two separate routes covering all the sights, and hop on/hop off with never a more than five minute wait for the next one. Had lovely first... more

A gem in this bustling city - close to tourist buses but we prefer to use the metro - buy a T10 ticket and share - at €7.70 this is great value. The hotel breakfast is fantastic with so much choice you can't decide where to start and the staff are so friendly. Our room faced the street and with... more

Have just returned from a stay at this hotel. For a first visit to Barcelona the setting couldn't have been better. You are literally minutes away from the Placa de Catalunya but the good news is that as the hotel is on a side street there isn't much noise. My sister and I had booked a twin room and it... more

We stayed 2 nights in CDBH and we can with full heart recommend the hotel due to its: location, rooms, breakfast, staff, atmosphere. One mionor minus is the rather small pool area and people "owning" the sun beds and towels (3 per person is too much) for too long time. OK, we did not come to the hotel to stay... more

The Hotel is Perfectly Located. The Breakfast is tasty and colorfull and the hotel decoration is charming. Our room was noisy, due to s pipe system that ran through one of it's walls, but the hotel stuff were kind to move us to a much convenient room. Yet one remark: I find it a little anoying that the guests are... more
