Olwyn Posted May 22, 2009 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Has anyone stayed at this hotel? :confused:Is it in las Ramblas? I will be travelling with my 2 older parents and want something close to restaurants and sites, as well as being clean and comfortable. We are off on a Grand Med Cruise with Princess on Sept 1st. Has anyone stayed in a place with a complimentary breakfast buffet?? That would be great too. * Unfortunately the Continental is not available during our dates of stay..Aug 30th - Sept 1st.:rolleyes: Thanks so much!

DoniaG Posted May 23, 2009 #2 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I made a reservation last night based on Trip Advisor's recommendation. Good reviews and it ranks very high for a small hotel. Yes, I believe it's near Las Ramblas. If you want more info, check http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotel_Review-g187497-d230832-Reviews-NH_Duc_de_la_Victoria-Barcelona_Catalonia.html. At EU15+, their breakfast is pricey - and doesn't appear to be worth the money - according some of the reviewers. Be sure to check all the booking sites - prices are all over the place. The best rate when I booked last night was booking.com. Good luck, Donia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie-Claude Posted May 23, 2009 #3 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Hi Olwyn: This hotel is about 2 blocks from Las Ramblas into the Barri Gotic - it's at about the same height as the Continental hotel on Las Ramblas (ie closer to Placa Catalunya). I think this will be a more comfortable hotel than the Continental - I know a lot of people like it here on CC but I didn't think much of it personally. We stayed in the Royal Ramblas, across the street from the Continental, right on Las Ramblas and it was fine. Breakfast are often extra - it was 15 euros at the Royal and was a nice buffet. But there's lots around that area so you could go out as well - bring a croissant and some juice in the room if you need something as you wake up, then walk around a bit and you'll find something. As an FYI, right on Placa Catalunya, you'll find the El Corte Ingles department store. If you go on the last floor, there's a cafeteria there - food is OK but the view from there is AMAZING!!! You have an amazing view of the Placa and the Passeig the Gracia... I know my Mom was happy when we went up there for a cup of tea, a catalan flan and the great view!! A nice respite from the hustle and bustle!! Have fun! MC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmk Posted May 23, 2009 #4 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I have stayed at the Continentl and the NH Duc De La Victoria. I highly recommend the NH, both for location and comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOOKIENY Posted May 23, 2009 #5 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Stayed at the NH three weeks ago. It was in a great location, about two blocks off Las Ramblas on a quiet street. Very clean and the front desk staff was very helpful. Not far from Plaza Catalunya, Barcelona Cathedral and there are restaurants nearby. I would not hesitate to stay there again.
