The host, and our greeting, felt rushed and as though we were inconveniencing him. The home is beautiful although it smelled musty and the bed was uncomfortable. It offers a beautiful view of Dubuque.

Wonderful views of the city and river from the Doll Room. Very comfortable room full of old school charm. Breakfast was also excellent and Simon's history of Dubuque was an added bonus.

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 !

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!

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.

What a charming discovery! A beautiful old home on the top of a hill with a gorgeous view of the city. Gorgeously decorated and appointed with attention to detail. We are enchanted!

It was my first time at a bed and breakfast. The property was pretty. The house was beautiful. Very very quiet. Staff was very nice and accommodating. My only complaint was the bed was very uncomfortable so I didn’t sleep well at all:/

Hancock House is one of the best B&B's I've stayed at ever (business or pleasure trips). The room furnishings, a good firm mattress, fine shower AND superb brkf made this a memorable trip. Will plan on staying again next spring & will encourage my sisters to as well (our annual sibling get-together). Note: II grew up in Dbq so know the city well; a great location just above 'downtown' but placed aside a cliff and the old 11th St. cable car site.

The building was impressive and the furnishings seemed very authentic and worn. It could have used some vacuuming and dusty. Our room was untouched when we came back from a long day out--the bed was unmade, nothing had been made tidy. The morning coffee was very weak the first morning and wasn't even made the second morning. We would not stay here again. But it was an interesting setting.
