An overview
In a lively spot near Placa Catalunya, the location of this property suits people who want to be in the middle of the action. It would be difficult to get closer to Placa Catalunya since the BCN Urban Hotels Gran Ducat is only a few steps away from the crowds, street performers, and general hysteria that is Barcelona's central hub. Occupying a 19th century building, the property has been completely refurbished to reflect a functional, modern aesthetic with Wi-Fi Internet access and a few computers in the lobby for those without laptops. Everything is catered for in this location. Las Ramblas is just across the plaza, department stores are opposite the hotel, and there are airport and tourist buses departing just meters from the front door.

Simple Eurpean room, convenient location across from metro and easily walkable to many things. ”
Because of its close location to the metro, you feel like the vibrations and sounds constantly during its hours of operation. We went to bed late so it didn’t really bother us, but it did wake me up early every morning...so if you are a light sleeper this may be something you want to consider. Other than that we didn’t have any complaints. We only used the room as a place to sleep for 2 days and didn’t require much.

Small room with great location”
Location was great - very close to the Plaza Catalunya and airport bus stop. Room was quite tiny but had a large balcony with outdoor seating. Perhaps it would have been better for the balcony to be converted into room space instead. We had difficulty finding an area in the room for our large suitcase. Disappointed that we had to pay to use the lockers to deposit our luggages after check out as we had expected to be able to leave our luggages in a storage room for free, as with most hotels in Europe.

Average okay!”
They said the Gran Ducat under renovation, hence transferred me to another hotel which is near to Universitat Metro Station, in which I found that the location not as good as Gran Ducat which very close to Metro Catalunya and shopping mall. Anyhow, the reception staff was very friendly. Allow me to check in early around 10am.

Really handy location.”
Location,Price and the breakfast was very nice
The staff here are fantastic,really helpful and very friendly.The hotel is really well located if you want to be near the Rambla but not right on it,the breakfast was very nice and a great price of only 9.90euros.I have only one thing to say in a negative sense and that is it's a very noisy hotel and this is only because there are tiles in the corridors that echo the sound,I found it very difficult to sleep,which is a shame because this otherwise is a fantastic place.

Couldn’t have asked for more! The hotel is in the perfect location—walking distance to everything downtown, and right between the metro and bus stations to take you everywhere else. Our room was very clean and quiet, enough room for 2 people (considering the average size of hotels in the area), great shower pressure, comfy beds...what more could you ask for? Highly recommended!

Great Location but bad room wall”
I stay on fifth floor and it's not too noisy from outside.
But the sound from next room is too annoying. There's a guy who talk loud, smoke drink and shut the door too loud. We can heard everything in next room.
The hotel wall should be improved. Unless guest must have "Bad" sleep all night.

Convenient Location ”
The location is convenient to Plaza Catalunya where most tours start.
The location was good - we could walk to the Gothic area and to where the tours (Hop-on Hop off buses and other tours) started. Lots of eateries around - Starbucks, MacDonald, local bars and restaurants, etc.
A short ride to the airport by taxi. Cost us 42EUR - the driver claimed that there is surcharge for weekend and also an airport taxi. The hotel staff told us that it would only cost 35EUR. Not sure if the taxi driver ripped us off but we weren't about to get upset over 7EUR
Staff were friendly and helpful. The standard of English was good.
The room was clean and good size for the price we paid. The only negative is that they use a locker system to store your luggage if you arrive early or need to store it on the day of departure. Each locker costed 2EUR - not much but would be nice gesture to have free storage.

Location, at Plaza Catalonya, close to Las Ramblas. Value for money. Friendly staff.
The hotel has central location to the best sights in Barcelona and bus stop Hop-on-Hop-off bus for further sight-seeing. The room was small but adequate and clean. Value for money.The staff was friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel to travelers on a budget as great choice.

Holiday in Spain”
location , wifi, friendly and English speaking staff
Location is key for this hotel. If you are seeking for a central hotel then this is the one. However, room comfort could be a problem if room size is one of your key indicator, standard room are 13sqm while deluxe room are 16sqm. It could be a problem opening your luggage. The rest about the room are pretty basic but decent. Staff are english speaking and are very friendly. Overall hotel stay was good and hotel is not only near Gran Via or Gracia but also near to 24H mart, metro and also a few pretty decent restaurants as well as Mac, BK and KFC if you fancy some American comfort.

Location, easy access to restaurants and helpful staff
My husband and I had a pleasant stay except for the one evening our neighbors were up until 4 AM talking VERY LOUDLY. Also, the shower is pretty small. The staff was friendly and made great recommendations for restaurants and places to see. Also, the hotel was central to most of places we wanted to see and and didn't feel unsafe.

nice value for money hotel”
good location, clean room, excellent staff
Gran ducat offers the right service and ample room size. Definitely value for money since it is centrally located and all the best shopping and dining areas are well within a 10 min walk from the hotel. They have friendly staff who can suggest all the must see locations in Barcelona as well as the best routes to take to get there. This hotel is a stop and go type of hotel - I wont recommend it for couples on a honeymoon. But overall I am happy with the hotel and will recommend it to all my friends.
