Duquesa Suites Hotel by Grup Duquessa

Staff were courteous and very helpful, location was perfect!

There was some construction work on site that was a bit noisy, and there was no sign for the hotel on the front main road that made it difficult to locate it when first arrived!

Ideal set up for a family of 4 - our girls had a single bed each in the lounge. Kitchen facilities allow for self catering as required. Location was fantastic for exploring all key sites in Barcelona on foot or by bus, and close to copious Waters edge restaurants as well as eateries in all of the winding streets. Rooftop pool is shallow which is ideal for the kids to play and cool down safely - quiet in May due to the rooftop bar not yet being open. The suite was cleaned daily, it was great having clean dry towels and bed refreshed. Staff were friendly and helpful. Access to the gym and alternative rooftop pool of the sister hotel was a bonus.

We needed to ask for pool towels, but in the meantime used the towelling dressing gowns available in our suite. As the suites only have Juliette style balconies, there was nowhere to sit out of an evening whilst the children were in bed, or to dry wet towels/swim costumes.

The staff were quick to sort out issues

Roof top bar wasn’t open

The property is located very centric, the room view was great and the size good enough for 3 people. The beds were comfortable ok. I did not try the food. The bathrobes were a good touch.

The room temperature felt very hot despite AC, even though the mattress was kind of comfortable I did not sleep well, and don’t get me wrong it’s not that I’m spoiled, but for the cost of one of those rooms you expect at least a good temperature in the room. The bathroom was small.
