Hotel Regencia Colon

Great location!

This affordable hotel is in an amazing location. Located in the historic Barrio Gotico, this hotel is centrally located close to some of Barcelona's best attractions and nightlife. The rooms could use a face lift, but they were clean and well maintained. I would definitely return and recommend it to my friends and family.

Great experience

Location great. Short walking distance to many sights. Staff helpful and friendly. Online access only disappointment - had to go to sister Hotel Colon next door to use it. All-in-all two BIG thumbs up for hotel and Barcelona!

good value for money

absolutely nice location. but otherwise not so satisfactory. hotel employee of front desk were helpful but not so friendly. the quality of breakfast is disappointing in consideration of relatively high price.(12 euros) I highly recommend to go out for breakfast. room was clean but old fashioned. overall satisfation was moderate. it will be good for business trip or low budget travellers just looking for bed. but not recommendable to couple who think romantic holidays.

Convenient location

Convenient location. Our stay was very short, and we really wern't in the room much but the room was clean and comfortable.

Comfotable Stay

The Hotel Regencia Colon was a very comfortable hotel. The location was great, in the center of everything and easy access to restaurants, shopping and mass transit. A lot to do just in a walking area. The room was clean and comfortable and I got great nights sleep on the beds. A very helpful staff and would recommend staying there. Original comments I heard about noisy and hard beds were not true with the room we had!

Great hotel in outstanding location

Great hotel, great location, great price. Cannot ask for more. Strongly recommed this hotel.

barcelona

we were booked for the regencia colon, instead they moved us to the colon, which was next door. i guess the other hotel was booked. no problems though. the staff was nice and right out the front door was the cathedral. great location for seeing the sites. the metro was only one block away. i enjoyed my stay here.

Yes - with reservations

If you want a hotel reasonably priced in a great location in Barcelona, then this is for you. The major disadvantage is exactly the same reason - it is so centrally placed that there are always a lot of people around and so the area tends to be very noisy all of the time. If you are a light-sleeper then this is not for you. When I arrived I had a room that had a connecting door to the next room. The door was paper thing which meant that when the people next door were talking it was like they were in my room with me. This was disturbing in the middle of the night! There were also people in there who kept trying the door. I spoke with the staff and they were very helpful and understanding and they changed the room as soon as they could. The staff generally were very nice and helpful. Wi-fi is available with a code generated by the desk, but you have to go to the Hotel Colon next door and it only works in their lobby.

Great location, but terrible room

Starting with the positive, this hotel is situated nicely. The location is wonderful, just one block from the cathedral and a couple of blocks from Las Ramblas. We walked to everything with ease because of the great location. The price was high, but given the location was acceptable. The room, however, left much to be desired. We got a corner room, which was small due to its location. Perhaps the other rooms were more spacious, but this was very small. The bed was hard as a rock and didn't even give when you sat on it. Furnishings and linens were extremely dated and worn from use. The downfall of a great location is street noise, and this hotel has plenty. Against our better judgment, we attempted to sleep on the hard bed, but obviously couldn't get comfortable. But even if we could have found any comfort in the bed, the street noise kept us awake all night. It echoed into the room as though we were reveling along with the passers by. As though that weren't enough, every time we or our neighbors used the toilet or ran the water, a high pitched aria of screeching would fill the room for several minutes. Perhaps we should have taken that as a sign to get up and go join in on the fun outdoors! The room was very clean (floors, bathroom, etc.) and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was overpriced. The common areas need a deep carpet cleaning (lobby & stairs)and the interiors would benefit from an update. We wouldn't stay here again, but if you do, ask for a room in the back. That won't soften the bed or eliminate the ear piercing pipe sounds, but it may minimize the street noise.

Great hotel in a fun area. We were not out late at night but the area great and really fun to walk around. Less than 10 min walk to PL Catalunya. Can easily take autobus from airport and walk to hotel.

Good deal for the money

I had read that the rooms could be noisy. Although we seemed to be overlooking a quiet area, it was indeed a bit noisy. After the first night I slept with earplugs and was fine. The location is fantastic, an easy walk to La Rambla, the tourist bureau, good restaurants,shops. If want to book tours,buy bus tickets,book shows, I strongly suggest you go directly to the tourist bureau. The front desk will only accept cash and has limited information regarding what each activity entails. The same goes for restaurant recommendations. I got the strong feeling they refer places they have a deal worked out with. The first night we took their suggestion and found ourselves surrounded by tourists. Bathroom amenities are satisfactory and better than other hotels. If you want a washcloth, you will have to ask for one. We never saw ours replaced. The safe is a little tricky and they will probably have to demonstrate how to use it. We did not take advantage of the buffet breakfast 12Euros, there are too many places to enjoy a light breakfast for much less money. Overall we were satisfied with the hotel,mostly because of the location and the safety.

You won't find a better bargain

This hotel is in the heart of the Gothic area just steps away from the famous and beautiful Barcelona Cathedral. I don't think you could find a better location. Walls are a bit thin and the beds are a bit hard, but considering the location and price, I can't imagine finding a better deal. The staff was incredibly courteous and helpful. After a pickpocket got my wallet the front desk allowed me to use their phone to make all the international calls I needed to notify credit card companies and banks totally free of charge. Rooms are larger than I expected based on general feedback I had heard earlier regarding the size of rooms in Barcelona. If you want to be in the middle of things and are willing to give up a little comfort this is the place.
