Disclaimer: The view is not of the Sagrada Familia but is of the Barcelona Cathedral. We stood in a line outside for ~10 minutes and paid a cover to enter the rooftop bar. The hotel itself was upscale and there is seating room only on the rooftop, hence the line outside. We unfortunately were not seated against the railing, but the view was still beautiful. The music was perfect and the rooftop had a nice vibe. We got the sangria, mojito, and white wine and for food we got the fries, cheese grazing board, and chicken burger. We didn't feel rushed and it was nice to people watch. People were having full on photoshoots if seated by the railing and there was really quick turnover for the tables. I would definitely recommend visiting this rooftop in Barcelona! read more

Hotel Colón - Outside views - Hotels Near Me - Barcelona, B

Fabuloso last minute booking was able to accommodate me and my party. 2 night stay. Yet a little pricey yet when in need ...

First time in Europe ever, touchdown Barcelona. Hotel Colón set the bar high as far as first impressions of a city replete with gothic architecture, savory tapas, and rhythmic flamenco. What led me to book this hotel over others was its prime location -- in the heart of Gothic Quarter and right in front of the Catedral de Barcelona, which was awe-inspiring every time I stepped foot outside. No need to book the room with the view either. As other reviewers have stated, there is an quintessential rooftop terrace bar which provides a beautiful view of the cathedral. Wait for an unhindered table and enjoy that instagrammable view. Worth it for a few drinks, not necessarily for the food. However, the hotel breakfast buffet served downstairs is the BEST! Out of all the hotel breakfasts we encountered on our Euro trip, Hotel Colón had the number one spread -- a vast selection of meats, cheeses, sandwiches, fruits, yogurt, salad, and hot foods such as empanadas and sausages, complete with fresh juices and espressos. And a mimosa bar, too? Yes. As for the room, it's clean and modern. Surprisingly spacious with a seating nook. Rain shower in the bathroom and great water pressure. Double twin bed comfortable. And a welcome gift! The employees were all so attentive and friendly. We went in February, so I forgot all the names now, but the doormen always greeted you, helped with luggage, and even took us to the airport (this amenity is not standard, it depends on availability). Overall, excellent stay. Thank you! read more

The Terrace at the Colon hotel was so beautiful. It offered breathtaking views of the City of Barcelona. They do not accept reservations but you can wait in line to be accommodated if they have availability. Their menu was limited and offered mostly tapas. The chicken salad was fresh and filing. It was paired well with a glass of Sangria. read more

This review is for the rooftop bar. You do not need to be a guest of the hotel to go up there and there are no reservations. It has the perfect view of the cathedral, so it is a hot spot to visit. We ended up getting in line for the rooftop around 3pm on a Saturday and were seated in about 20 minutes. The rooftop was smaller than I thought but it did not take away from the views. The menu is mostly tapas and drinks so don't try to get full unless you order a lot. I got the avocado toast and a salad with the sangria. It was the perfect midday snack with a beautiful view. read more

The location couldn't be better -- which is supremely important for travelers visiting Barcelona. The rooftop terrace had beautiful views but it was pretty packed up there at all times. More of a bar vibe than I anticipated. What we were most thrilled about was the breakfast that's included in your reservation... HOLY SMOKES... It was actually one of the best breakfasts we had during our entire Europe trip! The only bummer about this hotel was that the spa/sauna was under construction and it was a big reason why I chose this spot over other options in the area -- however the website didn't mention that this was not available at the time of reservation. PS: One more thing I think is important for me to mention... if you're looking for a chill relaxing rooftop pool, this isn't the spot. The pool is about 1 foot deep of water and it's right in the middle of the roof top terrace bar. Not really an ideal loungey pool area whatsoever. So if that's super important to you, this ain't it. read more

Hotel Colón - Great rooftop bar - Hotels Near Me - Barcelona, B

Price - 4/5 I stayed 7 nights for $160/night. Hotel Colon is priced around 30-50% higher than surrounding hotels in the area because of the location (directly in front of Barcelona Cathedral). I think normal price for the room with a view is $215-260 depending on season. -1 point because I wish it was cheaper. Location - 5/5 The next reason why I chose to try this hotel. Everything was almost within walking distance. Restaurants, bars, sights, activities. Metro/Train is less than 10 mins walk. Plus, if you booked the room with view, you'll wake up seeing the beautiful Barcelona Cathedral daily. Hotel Room - 4/5 Bed was extremely comfortable. Soft but not too soft, it has just the right support for a good nights sleep. Plenty of comfortable pillows as well. Room was extremely dark when you close curtains, which is good for deep sleep. Waterfall shower had good pressure and was really nice and refreshing after a whole day of exploring the city. Also has a mini work desk for business travelers. Comes with a mini fridge which was extremely cold, perfect for storing champagne/wine/snacks. Room was a bit small but that's to be expected in a prime area like Gothic Quarter. Internet speed was stable and fast, I didn't have any issues working while in the room. -1 point because TV was 32" and didn't have Google Chrome so I couldn't connect my phone for Netflix. Amenities - 4/5 Has a beautiful rooftop bar overlooking the Barcelona Cathedral. Perfect for social gatherings or a spicy date You also have access to a pool, which was still overlooking the Barcelona Cathedral. Bar was usually packed at night as many people wanted to enjoy the view. Drinks were priced reasonably at around €9/drink. -1 point because they don't have a gym. Food No rating since I haven't tried their breakfast buffet. I browsed and selections looked "decent". Priced at €20-25 I think. I decided to get daily breakfast outside from local cafes and La Boqueria Market. ‍ Overall Rating - 4/5 If you have a budget of $200/night for staying at a hotel. This is one of the top picks in the Gothic Quarter area (perfect for 1st time travelers to Barcelona). Good balance of price, location and comfort.

My husband and I are very impressed with Hotel Colon. The room is beautiful and the beds are comfortable. Which after traveling for three weeks a good bed is much appreciated ! The private terrace is breathtaking and features views of the Barcelona Cathedral. Location is perfect and we are fortunate to be here during the Christmas market, located steps away from the hotel. We look forward to coming back next year! read more

Great hotel in a great location- best part is rooftop bar view as well as the staff. They were very nice and accommodating to our family- will stay again next time in Barcelona and highly recommend! read more

After a two day stay here, these are my observations. The staff is both friendly and helpful. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The breakfast is the best I've ever had in a hotel, and I've stayed at many. Everything is fine at a highly professional manner. It's location is perfect for seeing the sights in Barcelona. read more

sorry to say, the staff that seated us was really rude and raise his voice at us over his miscommunication with the waiters. He also let us waited for some time while he was chit chatting with others and laughing away. The other waiters are really kind and helpful and overall the view is nice. The sangria is not that great and needs to add 5 euros per glass. Overall not a good experience. read more

Come to the rooftop for the best views of the cathedral during the afternoon or sunset. If they're open in the evening, this is the best way to have a drink, people watch, and enjoy live music from performers busking in the square. The city also hosts and organizes concerts across the street . If you're looking for privacy, decent drinks, and a great view, Hotel Colon's rooftop bar is the perfect spot to hang out for a few hours. You don't have to be a guest to visit the rooftop bar. read more

Hotel Colón - Hotels Near Me - Barcelona, B

Visited the rooftop bar today and received awful service from a very rude and stand-offish server. We had ordered drinks, received them and were immediately handed the check to which he tapped with his finger expectantly. Didn't ask if we possibly wanted another drink or food. The view is nice but honestly out of all the rooftop bars in BCN I wouldn't ever come back. read more

We just returned from five nights at Hotel Colón, and couldn't be happier with our experience! What a welcome taste of comfort and hospitality, especially when extreme heat and the summer crowds left us pretty spent at the end of each day. Highlights included the rain shower, cathedral/plaza view, and that breakfast buffet! Thanks to Serguei, Olga, and the rest of the team for their kind service. read more

What a fantastic hotel! Best location what across the street from the cathedral steps from las rambles rd. 3 min walk to the Boqueria, and everywhere else. I will be recommending this place as I plan to stay here again. They offer on site breakfast for $22 which includes champagne as well. Food was tasted. The staff here is extremely helpful and very welcoming! Thank u hotel colon!! read more

This was my first trip to Barcelona and wanted to find a place that I would be immersed in all of Barcelonas glory. I found it with Hotel Colon.

They really helped make my trip a memorable one. read more

Loved this hotel! The location is perfect and because there is a town square in front of it no traffic comes through. The hotel is beautiful and the staff is amazing. Great customer service , comfortable beds and a great night life around it. There are cabs that you can get next to it and the subway is just a couple blocks away. Highly recommend read more

The hotel is old-world charming, but with modern touches we all find necessary. It sits right on a town square that was bursting with life. Our room was immaculate, the staff attentive, and the included breakfast extremely good. It's situated in the old town portion of Barcelona and has so much within walking distance. We used this as a pre-cruise hotel, but ended up appreciating it for the charm. The staff was very accommodating and warm. read more

Home run. Perfect location, right across the plaza from the Cathedral of Barcelona. Easy walking distance to shopping, dining and transportation. We had gorgeous views from our balcony and even more from the hotel's rooftop bar. (Which fills up quickly). Rooms were super clean even had a Nespresso machine. Their restaurant is good, at least for tapas and drinks, which is what we had. The staff was helpful and even helped us arrange our COVID testing for the flight home. If I ever come back to Barcelona, and I hope I do, I'll stay here for sure. read more

June 2021 post-Covid reopening. 2 New Yorkers spending my 40th birthday in beautiful Barcelona and I had to choose a nice 4-star hotel that was 1. Nice enough to impress my girlfriend, 2. Very centrally located, 3. Had an excellent rooftop terrace. I decided on Hotel Colón based on other positive reviews, and it was absolutely perfect! It's the ideal location, on a gorgeous little alcove of the old gothic quarter. Nearly all the best places in Barcelona are within a 15 minute walk, and you're right in the center. The rooftop was also outstanding, 7th and 8th floor terraces right next to the stunning Cathedral de la Seu, with perfect panoramic views from La Sagrada Familia to the ocean and Montjuïc. In the guests-only section of the roof there is a shallow but nice party pool, deck chairs, and sauna. The hotel itself was just perfect, the lobby and room had a lovely classic style and all was spotlessly clean. And a first rate staff! Everyone from front, dining, and housekeeping staff were all very friendly, professional, and everyone spoke English well. The king bed was comfortable and the walls/windows thick enough to block out the church bells and activity in the plaza below. We had the basic Design room, which looked great. The bathroom had a rain shower and detachable shower head, hair dryer and lit makeup mirror, plush robes and slippers. There were doors on the bathroom and shower, everything was as an American would expect. Our little balcony had a nice view of the public square below and complimentary wine was waiting in the room. To the last detail we could not have had a better experience. There was a promotion at the time to get free breakfast when you booked directly, this was a great deal. The breakfast spread was excellent, far above American hotel standards. We had one lunch and wine on the roof which was also quite good and not expensive. Overall these two spoiled and well- travelled New Yorkers give Hotel Colón an A+. I wish I was there right now! read more

So glad we chose this hotel with a great location in town. You can see from my pics the beautiful views from our room and from rooftop. The lobby looked very nice and checking was a breeze. We arrived early so room not yet available so they kept them while we walked around and had lunch. The plaza in front of the Hotel is nice and when walking the alleys around the church many nice shops. Room was comfortable even in the hot days with a corner view of plaza and church. The roof had a small pool, if you call it that. But the views are worth a visit if your hear. read more

A group of six stayed three nights in Hotel Colón, Rooms 606, 607 and 118. The hotel was wonderful, clean, with very good service from all staff. The elevators and rooms on the first floor The hotel's location in the Gothic Quarter is, I think, one of the best in Barcelona. I plan on returning in the future, and recommend Hotel Colón whole heartedly. Five Stars. read more

The first night we were here, I woke up to a literal colony of ants crawling across my things and towards my bed. I called the front desk who seemed unconcerned and did not even apologize. They only said "we will spray the room when you leave". I was not happy with this and asked for a room change, I'm assuming you can imaging it's uncomfortable to stay in a room where there was such an infestation. Again very unapologetic, no offer to change rooms, I had to ask several times for a room change. No offer of any kind of compensation for this inconvenience and having to change rooms which made us late for a very expensive tour. We literally had to run. The room was changed quickly which we appreciated, however the walls of the bathroom were filthy and the corners near the toilet as well. We have heard almost non stop banging from the floor above, furniture moving at all hours. We also had unfriendly rude service at the rooftop bar. Staff was stand-off and seemed like they didn't want us to be there. It was not busy at all. read more

I booked into the Hotel Colon which seemed like a pleasant enough place with a good location. Upon arriving at my room I wanted to rest a little to get over jet lag. I heard noises coming from a nearby room and assumed it was a bit of work to repair something. The work continued and increased in volume with drilling, hammering, and scraping without let up. I went to the front desk to ask how long this would continue and was told there was work in progress. I asked why this was not disclosed prior to my booking or upon arrival and got no answer. I asked to speak with the manager and was told she was getting out of a meeting and would I wait in the lobby, which I agreed to do. After about five or more minutes of waiting I decided to go back to my room where the noise and work continued. Receiving no call from the manager after sometime I began to search on line for another hotel and found a nice one around the corner (Hotel Barcelona Catedral). I repacked my bags and went down to reception where the manger was now speaking to the desk clerk. I told the clerk I was checking out and did not expect to be billed for the room. The manger gave a half-hearted apology and said there was renovation of the hotel in progress. (You could hear the noise at the reception desk as well). I asked why I was not informed of this in advance and again received no answer. I asked how long the work would continue during the day and was astounded to be told from 10:00 - 17:00hrs each day. I asked where she receive her hotel management training and was told the hotel was privately owned (not by a corporation). I again reiterated that I was not to be billed for the room and checked out. The bellmen assisted with the bags and refused a tip. They were very sympathetic and kind. The manager never offered to help me find a hotel, offer transportation or any compensation. The bellmen should be running the hotel - not the management. read more

We live to travel. This hotel is just amazing. We had Juliet balcony facing Cathedral. The beds were comfy, we kept the balcony doors open to be serenaded to sleep each night by street violin players...absolutely divine. We awakened to the view of the beautiful Cathedral. Location spot on. The breakfast was beyond all expectations...DELICIOUS and plentiful. The staff was welcoming and very helpful. But the best part of staying here was their honesty and integrity!! I left my purse in the safe. I didn't even realize it until the next day unpacking...I called the hotel and they sent me my purse in the 10 day delivery time...ALL INTACT! Nothing was missing!! I cried relief! I found this gem and I plan to come only here the next time. I fell in love with the place my grandfather was raised. Beautiful! Thank you to the staff, especially the maid who brought my purse to safety. I wish I knew who she was. read more

My daughter just checked out and the service here was amazing. She is young and traveling alone. They helped with everything from finding helping order in food, laundry service, and making sure she had a very early taxi who even came inside to help with bags. Truly helpful staff! read more

We can't say enough good things about this hotel and the staff, Jaime and Sclouei (I'm sure I got the spelling wrong), we're exceptionally accommodating. We were a party of 14 and they always made time to make sure we were taken care of. The roof top bar is very popular these days, but guests have priority. There are tons of things to do and places to eat close to the hotel. Would definitely recommend and would book again! read more

Fabulous! I loved this place and the staff so much. The suite was huge, great bathroom, and super comfortable beds. The front desk staff that I met: Laila, Marta, Gregorio, and Surgei were so friendly and helpful. I had such an amazing time here. Breakfast is also delicious, as they have a buffet with everything you could want. Their dinner is good as well. The rooftop bar is to die for, considering the view of the cathedral. I will be coming back. Please anyone reading this, stay here. It is also in a great location and close to pretty much everything you would want to see. We had no complaints whatsoever with this hotel. Just stunning. read more

Overall dissatisfied. After 8 days in Barcelona Hotel Colón had the least Catalonian based tapas than anywhere we visited. It was a menu for Americans. Very disappointing. read more

Very nice hotel in front of the Cathedral. We went during Christmas season and the Christmas market is literally right outside the hotel. A few more steps down to the Cathedral and alleys going to the shopping center. Centrally located to everything. The room is small (like any other hotel room in Europe) but nice. It has toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, lotion, etc that you'll need of you forget your toiletry bag. Two complimentary water as well. The only thing is the bath tub/shower area has no curtain. So if you're messy like me then you'll wet the whole bathroom. Haha. Overall, would recommend this place. read more

The first thing you notice about Hotel Colon, and possibly the reason you are there, is the beautiful location directly across from Barcelona Cathedral. In the streets I heard local music artists who were quite talented. I especially enjoyed the Spanish guitar musicians. There are many shops right by the hotel and it is easy to get around by taxi. The hotel itself has a quiet Old World charm of its own while at the same time being thoroughly modern and comfortable. The views from the windows are incredible and peaceful. I found my room here to be beautiful, comfortable, clean, and all at a fair price. It was refreshing to come back to the hotel and find sweet luxuries such as a towel warmer, warm heavy terry cloth spa robes, and slippers. The bathtub is large enough that you will want to relax in a bubble bath. The beds are comfortable. There are good restaurants in and around the hotel. The staff at the hotel are welcoming and happy to help you with every detail whether it is menu choices, getting luggage to your room quickly, or making sure your airport transfers are on time. Make sure you take time to go out by the Barcelona Cathedral and soak up the culture there along with the afternoon sun. read more

Hotel Colón - View from the roof - Hotels Near Me - Barcelona, B

i wish i could give you no stars at all in order to write my review. i really appreciate all the bad reviews because thanks to that i am definitely not staying here. people complained about your bad sewage smell, complaint about bugs and smoke smell in your rooms, i've seen a review that you guys purposely went inside a guest's room and took out their bed because you needed it for another room, even tho their personal stuff was still inside the room. what type of hotel is this???? that not only dont care about their guests health by not providing a better room with no toxic disgusting sewage smell but also put their private belongings in jeopardy by coming in without the guest's permission???? this is outrageous!! i will definitely not book with you guys. and i am more than sure that all of your good reviews are fake. there are more bad reviews that you actually show on your yelp page. so everyone, do yourselves a favor and check the real reviews on google, online, tripadvisor, reddit and not only yelp because they are easily hiding the real bad reviews. read more

I was excited to try this place because of the views of the Barcelona Cathedral. We waited twenty minutes in line before we were allowed up to the rooftop and then once we got sat it took another twenty minutes for anyone to wait on us. Service was terrible and then as soon as we ordered the waitress cashed us out so we could only get one drink. I would not go again. read more

Stayed for one night at Hotel Colon after cruise. Paid extra for Cathedral view. Church undergoing renovation so they allowed Samsung to erect a HUGE sign on front blocking view of front. VERY NOISY at night. Music and yelling continued to after midnight. We had 7am departure so got VERY little sleep. Beds are like trampolines. Hard and springy. Pillows very cheap. The bathroom shower is a joke. No curtain or doors so water cascades onto the floor into the carpeting hallway. Carpet was soaked when we checked in. Staff was VERY apathetic. I tried speaking to hotel manager about our lousy stay. He didn't even have courtesy to respond to my 3 emails. Area at night is also sketchy. Hotel gives you warning about pickpockets. My recommendation: Stay ELSEWHERE !!!! Overpriced and overrated. read more
