Hotel Colón Barcelona

Great hotel directly across from the Catedral de Barcelona. Convenient to shopping and food. They have a pretty busy restaurant on site. The room was amazing. Stayed with a friend in the family suite/penthouse. We had a terrace with a view of the Catedral, a patio dining set, a double chaise lounger and a couple of chairs. Tall lamps outside for nighttime. Raquel at the front desk was amazing. She was so nice and knowledgeable. Really helped us enjoy our stay.

The junior suite is very luxurious! However it could be more decorative and is pretty empty. Elevator is too small and too slow. Overall excellent customer service. Raquelle was very nice. The roof top can get little busy at night. So if you plan to go there it’s recommended to go on daytime. However when we went there, it was closed for maintenance. That might be unlucky on our part. Overall it is great! We’ll stay here again.

Our experience at Hotel Colon was not what we were hoping for, it was very disappointing. On the plus side the Hotel was clean, with a beautifully decorated lobby, nice breakfast and dining room and great views of the Gothic Cathedral. We were in the family penthouse suite, which had an amazing terrace.It was late March and pretty cool outside, but still lovely. The room itself was much smaller than we anticipated. The closet space was completely insufficient. There were only 3 of us, but the pull out was a double so there could have been 4. There was no dresser and only night stand tables, so no drawers. The closet was completely insufficient for a family considering it was the only storage. I've had bigger closets in Paris in a double occupancy room. The pull out was another problem. It set up as pulled out all the time and could not be put back to a couch . We asked the hotel to do so and they said it could not be done without great effort, so they were not going to pull it out each day we just had to live with it in bed mode. The bathroom was also very disappointing as there was a frosted class door on the toilet and shower, but no other door. This makes no sense in a suite for families and photos online were deceptive and did not reveal this or I would not have booked it. Worst of all the staff was about 60/40 on not acting irritated by request that were standard items.

The hotel is located on the gothic quarter perfectly centered to walk to all of the main sites like las ramblas, casa Milan and sagrada familia. There are plenty of restaurants and shops to choose from that are just a short walk away. The hotel is nice and the lobby is beautiful. I stayed in the junior suite. My only qualm was that while staying there , we experienced a water outage, an unexplained fire alarm, and sometimes no hot water. For nearly a whole day the water ran brown. On the upside the workers were extremely kind! Families with young children beware of staying in the junior suite as much of the furniture is glass . Overall great stay and very nice hotel!

Perfect for families!

Very good location at the heart of the city. There are a lots restaurants and shops nearby within walking distance. Safe and clean, and with very good service and helpful staff. Highly recommended for family travels.

Great location in Gothic quarter, the hotel is nice the staff is nice the pool is the size of a kiddie pool. The rooftop bar is probably the best we found!

Great Hotel & Great Location , saved a ton of money on taxis because everything was so walkable ! Loved it and will recommend to family and friends.

We had an excellent time at Hotel Colón. It is in a great area of Barcelona and convenient to dining, shopping, and museums. There is a metro station nearby as well (Jaume, L4). We stayed in a cathedral view room and absolutely loved the view. A caution for light sleepers though: that side of the hotel is on a plaza, which can be noisy at night. We didn’t have an issue with it, but others may. Earplugs or a sound machine may help. The hotel staff were extremely helpful and attentive. The property was well-kept. They appear to be updating the rooms floor by floor. It looked like floors 1 and 2 were nearly complete. We stayed on floor 3, which wasn’t updated yet, but still clean, charming, and maintained. I’m unsure of the status of the upper floors. The rooftop terrace was a fantastic place to enjoy cocktails and the views were incredible. Do yourself a favor while staying here and visit the small family-owned restaurants in the side streets. We were never disappointed with where we ate. For travel: we rode the Aerobus from BCN airport. It was around 6 euros per person. Waaay cheaper than a taxi and the bus was nice. After a 30 minute ride, it dropped us in Plaza Catalunya, which was about a 5-7 minute walk to the hotel. A taxi will drop you at the back of the hotel though, if you prefer.

Excellent location, very central. Very clean, great staff. We were travelling with a toddler and the staff always helped yluscwith the buggy etc. Great experience overall
