We had a fantastic stay at Hotel Duquesa de Cardona and would absolutely consider returning on our next trip to Barcelona. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Our airline had unfortunately lost our luggage, and we arrived without any adapters—but the hotel graciously provided one, which was a huge relief. The team was consistently friendly and attentive throughout our stay.
One of our favorite features was the rooftop pool. It was the perfect place to unwind and take in stunning views of the marina. We ended up spending quite a bit of time there, especially enjoying the rooftop food—so much so that we ordered the calamari twice!
The only thing worth noting is that the room was on the smaller side. It was manageable for two people with two large suitcases, but we did need to rearrange a bit of furniture to make it work comfortably. That said, it was a minor inconvenience in an otherwise great experience.
I was initially unsure about the location, as it’s not right as centrally located as other hotels I've stayed at, but we ended up loving it. The hotel offers easy access to the Gothic Quarter and is just a short walk to multiple metro stops, with plenty of excellent food options nearby.
Overall, Hotel Duquesa de Cardona delivered on comfort, service, and atmosphere. I’d definitely stay here again!
