The Hancock House

Antiques, view

Dubuque was a surprise for us - walkable (with hills) and the restaurants, L May Eatery and Roses & Berries were a delight. The view from Hancock House is amazing and if you enjoy antiques, you’ll love the furnishings. Our room was upgraded for free but we had no shower and the windows didn't work well. The wallpaper needs to be repaired or replaced. The proprietor was absent after he received us but we were able to navigate by ourselves. Having privacy in the public spaces was nice.

The property was excellent, Expedia screwed up the vacation by sending me a confirmed booking without telling the Hancock owner. As a result we weren’t able to stay there !

This was a beautiful historic mansion. Room was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was excellent and host was very responsive. Beautiful neighborhood overlooking downtown.

Very nice place, Great view. Great service.

IT was located in a truly unique location. Beautifly restored rooms and the breakfast on Sunday morning was wonderful. Other guests were very pleasant.

The Hancock House is a beautiful Victorian mansion. It sits high above Dubuque and offers spectacular views of the city and the Mississippi River. Simon is a gracious host. He takes pride in the house and it shows. Each room is beautifully appointed. The gourmet breakfasts served on Saturday and Sunday are delicious. The Hancock House is by far the best B and B in Dubuque!

Lots of character with a beautiful view over the city. Host is accommodating, breakfast delicious, beds and room comfortable and clean. A few updates on especially the exterior of the house would make it a fantastic experience (building noticeably deteriorating on the outside compared to homes surrounding it including banners). Otherwise a great choice for a unique experience!

Lovely view and terrific host

The room we rented was comfortable. The place was clean. The host was friendly. The place needs a little upkeep on small items, nothing major. A couple of cracks on the walls and possibly a sagging on the bathroom floor which was likely causing the shower door to not stay closed and some water to stagnate on the wrong side(the shower itself was otherwise clean, modern and neat). But given the age of the house it was good. The experince was good overall. Parking was a little confusing, especially since on-street parking looked full when we arrived. Some additional instruction on parking would've helped. Host was helpful and with the local area.
