Hotel Colon Barcelona

Worn down hotel in Perfect Location

Tired and worn hotel, with old, noisy rooms and tired and a bit surly staff in the absolute best location in the city.

Excellent location but...

...that's about all i can brag about. For a 4-star hotel, my single room was barely big enough to fit the single bed. The window overlooked a court yard used as storage or something so window was basically kept closed the entire time. the bathroom was ok. The tub didnt drain too well so i had to shut the water while shampooing and soaping. The most "modern" thing in the entire room was the small flat screen tv. In the end though, as a tourist, we spend minimum time in the room so location is the key. If you're willing to sacrifice comfort and quality, then Hotel Colon is hard to beat. My biggest problem is the 4-star label (and the price it comes with).

Hotel Colon Barcelona

The hotel is in a very convenient location and has lots of "old-world" charm. Saying that a person needs to realize it is an older facility, so if a person is looking for modern conveniences, one would not find it at this hotel. However, the staff there is wonderful and the location is perfect! The bed was comfortable and the shower was great.

Fabulous Hotel

The Hotel Colon is one of the nicest hotels we've stayed in during our European travels. It is located in the Gothic Quarter across the plaza from the Cathedral, and one short block from Las Ramblas. Location could not have been better for sightseeing the entire city! Staff was great and extra-ordinarily helpful. Our room was large, clean and comfortable, with a generous bath. We will definitely stay there again when we return to Barcelona! Our highest recommendations!

Great Location, Classic Elegance

Super location across from the old part of the city across the square from the old cathedral. Real old time elegance with great front desk hospitality. Parking is convenient and they provide valet parking. Room was nice, although small, but as expected for an older European Hotel. Great Lobby and sitting area with WIFI in the bar and lobby. Ask for a room with a view, the rooms on the internal courtyard look across to other rooms 10 feet away.

This was just right

Hotel Colon is exactly what we wanted (we booked 4 rooms the day before our cruise) Everything was right there, tour buses, cabs, outside cafes and we were even treated to a street concert..We really enjoyed the hotel and its location. The staff was really great, everyone spoke English and they did or helped us in every way they could.

Great Hotel, Great Location!

I thought the hotel was very nice, and the staff was quite helpful and friendly. The location is great, near lots of great shopping and attractions. I would definitely stay here again.The only thing that was a little frustrating is that to get on the Internet, I had to take my laptop down to the lobby area to get connected. The wireless was not available in the room. However, it was free, just not convenient.

Great hotel ina great location

This is a nice hotel in a very good location. It is in a plaza with a cathedral and is a short walk to Las Rambles, Arc de Triumph and is close to at least three metro stops. There was satellite tv with three English stations in addition to a few in German, Italian and French. The satff was curteous and helpful. I would stay here again.

Great Hotel

Great hotel, location. All staff friendly and helpful. I would stay there again and strongly recommend it.

Wonderful Accomodations

I chose this hotel for its high ratings from others who had stayed there, which turned out to be accurate. I was extremely pleased as was my husband. The only suggestion/recommendation (perhaps complaint) is to consider that it is in a great location but which translates to noisy street activity throughout the night. You may want to request a room in the higher floors which might help or shut your balcony doors. However, consider that most hotels in popular European cities may have the same issue.

Excellent location, comfort, price

Everything about my stay at Hotel Colon was great. Clean, nicely appointed room, updated bathroom, reasonable price, TV selections in English, helpful hotel staff, fun outdoor drinks and dining on the busy promenade and a perfect central location.
