Colon Hotel has a fantastic location right across the street from the Barcelona Cathedral. It's about a 5-10 minute walk to Las Ramblas and has easy access to a couple of Metro stations. The rooms were alright, but not updated. My wife and I had a double room, which came with two twin beds pushed together. The room size was... More

Very nice staff, attractive and classy common areas. The rooms were a not modern or very well appointed, but adequate. By the looks of the lobby and lounge I would have thought the rooms a little nicer. Breakfast was very good. Location is excellent, though you can hear street noise into the evening, it wasn't too bad. Overall I liked... More

We stayed here for five nights and have nothing but compliments for the property. Some people have called it old fashion but if having a wonderful lobby, friendly staff, a complete buffet for breakfast, clean big rooms, big bathrooms with showers, located across the church in a main square is old fashion then old fashion works. People of all ages... More

The location of this hotel was fabulous. The bellmen were gracious and helpful. The outside of the hotel was very nice. And did I mention the location? Perfect. You can walk everywhere, the metro is nearby, and the express bus to the airport is a close walk. However, I found the desk people kind of rude. I was especially upset... More

We stayed here at the end of a holiday in Spain and it was a lovely place to spend our last two days in Barcelona. We had a suite as we were with our children and there was plenty of room for us all. It is definitely worth paying extra for a room with a balcony and cathedral views, we... More

I cannot imagine a better location. My only complaint was that the buffet breakfast was pricey. The rooms were comfortably with a classy upscale elegance. I had heard from other reviewers that the staff was rude. I did not have that experience at all.

We stayed two nights after a cruise and enjoyed our stay very much. The bellmen/porters and front desk staff were all helpful. The breakfast buffet had a good selection and we had sandwiches in the dining room in the afternoon that were very good. Our room was on the back side away from the Cathedral square so we did not...

A lovely gothic feel in a breathtaking setting overlooking the Cathedral. Lovely spacious rooms tastfully decorated. Ideal location for exploring Barcelona and only a few minutes walk from the famous La Rambla. Only negative, breakfast poor so would give it a miss and eat at one of the many cafe bars around the sqaure.

Hotel Colon was recommended to us by fellow passengers on a recent cruise. We are so happy we stayed there after our arrival in Barcelona by cruise ship. It was the perfect place central to all the sights in the city. You could walk to just about anywhere.. The service was excellent, the rooms large and comfortable and right on... More

The motorized window screens were a touch weird The hotel had a distinct electrical burning smell. Smoking odors were noted. The marble was a nice touch. On an amazing public square. Food and transpo are near. SUPER helpful staff. Beds are better around the corner at Hotel Catedral.
