Hotel Colon Barcelona

Convenient location

The hotel was across from one of Gaudi's churches. The square was closed off to cars and open to walking tourists. There were lots of street performers performing in front of the hotel every night. The action was entertaining and fun, but unfortunately it never ended. Our roomn was on the second floor facing the street and the Church. The street performers tapped on their drums all night long and we did not get any sleep the first night. I finally called the front desk at 05:30 am and complained. they were very apologetic and told us that they have called the police and the city many times to complain about this group of uncoperative performers. The next day they moved us to the fifth floor facing the back street. the room was huge with a huge balcony. We loved and enjoyed the accomodation for the next four nights. the people at the front desk were very helpful.

Location is stellar! Staff quite helpful!

The *perfect* location! The staff did its best to be helpful, especially Gregory. All spoke English and appreciated it when we *tried* a bit of Spanish. The goings on just outside the hotel's doors, in front of the cathedral will surprise you: Dances, flea maerkets and good ole people watching! A VERY short walk to a few amazing restaurants including La Vinateria del Call. I recommend this hotel *highly!*

Great price, great service, absolutely adorable room

I loved this hotel. For the price I could not believe the room, the look of the whole hotel, the amenities, and the service. The service was truly exceptional, the hotel was very accomodating and knowledgable. The location could not have been more convenient!!! You are literally right in front of the cathedral which is the center of the town. You are a very short walk from Las Ramblas the main drag and La Boqueria Market. I stayed for 5 days and would return here in a hearbeat.

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 Hotel

Great location

Great location in center of historic Barcelona. Staff were friendly and helpful and spoke excellent english. Rooms somewhat old fashioned but bathroom and entertainment system (TV/internet) modern. Very happy with choice and would recommend.

Wonderful Hotel

We could not have asked for a better hotel stay. The Hotel was in a perfect location in the heart of Las Ramblas where we could easily walk to wherever we wanted to go. The staff was very helpful and all spoke English well. The hotel room was exactly what we expected, kind of bare minimum nothing fancy but very comfortable and clean. Our room opened to the view of the cathedral, very beautiful. The hotel staff was very quick to warn us of the pick pockets and to be very careful but we never experienced any problems or felt uncomfortable while we were out walking day or night. The hotel was a bit pricey but then everything (especially food) was very high. The dollar is not a good exchange to the euro so be ready to really spend a lot on everything. We would stay at Hotel Colon Barcelona again and would Highly recommend it.

All about the location

This is an older hotel located on the plaza across from the old cathedral, which is both the best and worst thing about it. From a sight-seeing standpoint, it could hardly be better. It is within easy walking distance of shopping, restaurants, Las Ramblas, and several major tourist destinations. The room was a good size with 2 closets, though drawer space was somewhat limited. The bath was large with 2 sinks. However, even though it was Spring, the AC had some trouble cooling the room. We opened the french doors to our small balcony and enjoyed the breeze. However, the plaza is a favorite gathering place for locals who hang out until after midnight. There were loud conversations and a string of motorbikes which echoed off the stone walls. The garbage collectors made nightly visits too. Even with these inconveniences, I would recommend the hotel.

What a Location

For the price this place cannot be beat. Excellent location in the center of everything. Okay, so the furnishing are a little run down but this is an old Barcelona hotel. The bathroom is large and the staff was great. Would stay here again in a minute.

Great room for the money.

The hotel is centrally located. IT's great for tourists.

Good Location

Good location: within walking distance of LA Rambla, The beach, and close to subway. Service was good, all hotel employees that I spoke with spoke very good English and were knowledgeable of the area.I would definately stay here again.
