Hotel Colón Barcelona

“Stunning, service and location!”

The perfect location. Directly on the square Cathedral Gotica. Walking distance to so much!! The hotel itself is stunning. The manager is very active and helped the bellman bring our luggage in.

The perfect location. Directly on the square Cathedral Gotica. Walking distance to so much!! The hotel itself is stunning. The manager is very active and helped the bellman bring our luggage in. Lovely room with a French balcony and a side view of the square. Roof top deck is a must, even if you stay for just a quick drink. The service has been wonderful and the breakfast surpassed all expectations. Can't air to visit again.

We stayed in Barcelona prior to a cruise and wanted a nice hotel near the cruise terminal. Hotel Colon may not be the least expensive place to stay but the staff was excellent and very professional. The location could not be beat. There were many alleys and plazas for dining and shopping. The plaza just outside the hotel had its own street market with multiple booths with a variety of goods. Make sure you get a cathedral view room, if you want a great view and like to watch the fun in the plaza, but it can get a little noisy. The room is a little small but very clean and had a nice bathroom. The open shower (a glass wall covering about 2/3 of the shower, open at the back, and no floor lip to catch water) was a bit unusual as water would spill out the open end, into the bathroom, unless you soaked it up with the bath mat/towel. I just took quick showers. People to mention: Leti at the front desk was extremely professional and helpful; Anouar was always pleasant and on the spot to help people at the door; Jean Paul was friendly and assisted us with getting us a driver to the cruise terminal; and finally, Mohammad was our driver and he was also courteous and drove with care. We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Colon and will definitely stay there again if ever back in Barcelona.

“Two Nights in Barcelona”

We decided to book this hotel to extend our cruise vacation by two nights on the back end. First of all we are a family of four, my wife, boys age 9, 12 and myself.

We decided to book this hotel to extend our cruise vacation by two nights on the back end. First of all we are a family of four, my wife, boys age 9, 12 and myself. We were able to book a corner suite facing the cathedral and the lively street below. Of course this was not a “cheep” room from a monetary standpoint, however it was able to accommodate a family of four with a king size bed in a moderate size bedroom. On the other hand the suite was spacious and fit two rollaway beds in addition to the desk, chaise lounge chair and large sofa. We had four large windows that opened onto a balcony with wonderful views of the cathedral and street below. There were street performances every night that ended promptly at 10PM, what a treat after dinner. The rooftop bar had a small menu and wonderful views. The best tables are reserved for hotel guests while outsiders waited in line at street level and sat at the tables with a limited view. The breakfast buffet was a wonderful way to begin our day, while the restaurant off the lobby had a small but nice menu and sunset drink on the rooftop bar a perfect way to prepare for an evenings dinner. At the end of our stay the hotel shuttle delivered us to the airport without an additional fee (besides tip). This was a near perfect experience, I would recommend booking this hotel and I’m a little shocked by the negative reviews.

We had a lovely experience at the Hotel Colon. The rooms were well appointed and everything was very clean. The staff were super friendly and extremely professional. We spent most evenings on the roof top bar with a spectacular view of the Cathedral Barcelona. In the late afternoon and early evening there was a line outside the hotel to get into the rooftop bar, but hotel guests were given preference to get in. On Thursday they have a wine tasting (with a few snacks) for guests, and there was a nice variety of Spanish wines. The manager (James, I think) was so attentive to all the guests, and helped us tremendously with a lost phone. We were within easy walking of the Bouqueria, and it is a foodies paradise. We felt very safe there, just taking normal precautions in a large city. We stayed 3 nights prior to a cruise, and it was about $30 Euros for a taxi to the cruise terminal. Highly recommend.
