Short couples break

Hotel is so central it literally is right in the middle of the city centre so that was great. On the downside the room was really noisy you could really hear traffic and metros, although it didnt bother us too much it might not be ideal for light sleepers! We had a problem with our bathroom the toilet was leaking. I asked twice at reception for this to be fixed they assured me a technician would fix it the next day. It was never fixed. Cheap and cheerful if on a budget but don't expect luxury!

Great Location

Hotel Ducat is in a great location right off of Plaça Catalunya. It's located across the street from El Corte Inglés (department store/supermarket), less than a block from the metro and Passeig de Gracia, and a block from las Ramblas, so it is close to numerous bars, restaurants, and shops. The staff is very friendly & speaks English as well. The room was very clean, had wi-fi & also a terrace easily big enough for 4 people. Because it was on the backside of the hotel there wasn't a view, but it was quiet. The only thing the room was missing was a fridge, but that was not that big of an issue. Overall, my wife & I would definitely stay there again.

The hotel had minimal amenities, but has everything you need for a short stay in Barcelona. The staff was very helpful as well. I recomend for a one or two night stay!

perfect location, poor wifi

The location is perfect, close to everything you need. The WiFi was down, and never came back since the second day of my stay. Don't stay in the lower floor room, Metro passing by day and night.

Barcelona Hotel

This hotel was in an awesome location....right down the street from Plaza Catalunya and therefore near alot of major attractions but overall the room was VERY small but clean and simple. The hotel itself was simply done..nothing too special. Besides this, my only major complaint would be the noise. It wasn't because of our centralized location in Barcelona,,,it was within the hotel itself...the quality of the doors with the younger (and I am 32!) crowd made it hard to sleep at night:(

Sightseeing tip: Short walk from hotel

Definitely hop on the bus tour that starts right in the Plaza Catalunya...we opted for the 2 day pass for 30euro and it was great...it was a hop on/off to all of the major attractions in Barcelona and you need two days to cover that ground! We also used it just to get to places for those two days..

hotel ducat,bcn

the standard of 3-star hotel in Barcelona (may be in other European countries) is for more lower than those in the U.S. or Asia. Don't expect a lobby, concierge, bellman, coffe shop or pool etc. Rather this is a neat place for you to sleep. As a tourist, we shouldn't ask too much because everything is expensive. Furthermore, hotel rate keep rising every day in peak season.
