Hotel Colon Barcelona

Too hot

No air of any kind. It was very uncomfortable. The bed was atrocious.

Barcelona quick visit

We stayed here prior to leaving on a cruise. It is in a great location. Across from Cathedral and short walk to La Ramblas but without all the La Ramblas noise. Walk to the tour bus lines and plenty of resturants and cafes. Room had no view so that was disappointing. Room was clean and housekeeping was very nice. Overall a good place to stay when you have a shorter visit. If I was staying longer I would have wanted more of a view.

Good Value

This is a good hotel for the money. Free internet was a plus though you'll need a cable. The room was larger then other hotels I've had in Europe though the shower was a little small (acceptable though even for a guy who's well over 6 feet tall). The location was excellent. Near enough to things but far enough away. Las Ramblas is an easy walk. I couldn't find any places that I would feel uncomfortable taking my wife. It was very quiet except in the morning when there was the usual hustle and bussle.

Right in the Heart of Barcelona

This hotel surely met every expectation: it was in the heart of the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona, rich with so much history from the times the Romans conquered and inhabited Spain. When you walk right out of the hotel, you are facing the Barcelona Cathedral and have restaurants and bars less than thirty seconds. All the metro lines stop within a five minute walk; you are only twenty minutes from the Mediterrean or two train stops. The hotel itself feels very antiquated, but has the important features one needs: High speed internet (free of charge-you just need to bring the blue cable), safe and minibar. I would recommend anybody visiting Barcelona seeking a safe, comfortable and convenient location to stay at Hotel Colon. Lastly, the hotel staff are all friendly and always willing to make suggestions where to visit. They are all very welcoming and make you feel at home.

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).

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.

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.
