I found the reception staff most helpful and efficient but I do wonder how much commission is on offer for arranging tickets for the bullfight (for my parnter, not for me...) and the flamenco/dinner show (which was excellent by the way). Perhaps I am being just a tad cynical? The location is excellent (but a map on offer at check-in... More

In 2000 I made a pledge to stay in this hotel because of its location. We arrived early on a Friday afternoon after a all night flight with a five hour lay over in Madrid. The hotel staff was welcoming. Our room was ready and exactly what we had asked for and our three day stay was wonderful. This hotel... More

HOTEL COLON BARCELONA, Avenida Catedral, 708002,Barcelona. We arrived at the hotel early afternoon after our flight from Newcastle-upon-Tyne by Easyjet. The journey from the airport being by airport bus(very cheap, and not too crowded) to Catalunya Square, only five minutes walk from the hotel. When we checked in, we were shown to a room which only had a window looking... More

We just returned from Barcelona with our two children, ages 14 and 20. As many reviews have stated, the location is wonderful. But, unfortunately, I did not use an on-line booking service but paid top dollar and I was amazed at how little was provided for this price. Breakfast was not included, there was no coffee available in the morning... More

The staff is wonderful and the hotel itself beautiful, it's location tends to be quite noisy especially on the weekends. It is centrally located to everything and along with that comes everyone wanting to be centrally located. Keep in mind Spain does not really start waking up until 8pm. Be prepared. The rooms were always clean as well as the... More

Hotel currently undergoing an upgrade which means that there are builders and decorators on the premises from 8am. Also, there is extensive building work going on outside (it's next to a building site) which means between 8am and 7pm you can hear pneumatic drills and "colorful" language! Staff were not particularly helpful and the whole place is in dire need... More

Booked to stay the weekend with my wife here after a week's conference just outside the city. Stayed one night before moving on. Room was shabby and dirty. Awoken at midnight by bottles being thrown into recycling bins, 3 and 4am by other guests slamming doors and shouting, then 6am by metal barriers being erected in the square below. Having... More

I didn't think that the hotel was THAT great. They upgraded us to a Cathedral View room with a large balcony (larger than the bathroom and bedroom combined) on the top floor but I wasn't impressed. For the rating that the hotel has and the price I wasn't expecting: puke/avocado green kitch wallpaper and bed cover that hasn't been washed... More
