Hotel Regencia Colón - Barcelona

9.6

Definately recommend this hotel as a great mid price hotel in a v central location. Spacious rooms, helpful staff. Only negative point is that the area around the hotel is v noisy but as we were forewarned we took earplugs - problem solved!

9.8

This is a great hotel for the price. The location is perfect and the staff friendly and most helpful. We would stay here again and recommend it to friends.

9.7

A clean and comfortable place to stay. Location was terrific - right next to the cathedral. Desk staff were particulary helpful. We would definately stay here again!!

10

Great location and great value.

8.7

Excellent location in the Barrio Gotic near the cathedral, resturants and the metro. We were given a triple room with more space than we had experienced in our Madrid hotel. The hotel is located directly behind the Hotel Colon that fronts the square. Our taxi driver confused the two.

9.8

The Regencia Colon was one of the best hotels I have stayed at. The rooms were clean, modern and of a decent size. The bathroom was large and bright. The staff were amazing - friendly, helpful and welcoming. I would go back without hesitation.

9.4

An extremely helpful and pleasant staff complemented an excellent hotel in the perfect location near the Cathedral and just a short walk to Las Ramblas.

9.7

Very excelent hotel

9.5

7.9

Albergo magnificamente sistemato a due passi di una splendida piazza e in pieno quartiere gotico, il più sugestivo e centrale della città. Gentili e disponibilissimi tutti i dipendenti dell'albergo. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo (in modo speciale se in offerta!). CONSIGLIATISSIMO.

8.5

Nice hotel, great location. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Central location makes touring the city easy

8.9

Hotel trés bien situé en plein centre du vieux Barcelone.Rapport qualité prix excellent Parking de la Cathédrale hors de prix

7.4

Excellent location. Helpful staff.

8.2

The location of the hotel is very good and gave easy access to the city either by foot or getting public transport. We stayed in a triple room and there was ample room for three adults and plenty of wardrobe space. The reception staff were extremely helpful and friendly and spoke excellent english. Would definately stay there again if I return to Barcelona.

8.6

Nice place to stay,but we had one of the rooms where it is some noice from the street.The hotel could have had internett-connection for the guests.The breakfast is expencive, but there are plenty of cheap places near by,in Calle Anna we found a very nice and cheap one.

7.6

Regencia Colon is in proximity to a busy square, Los Ramblos and the waterfront - centrally located - our check in time was delayed by about 2 hrs which was inconvenient - as a whole, the staff was semi helpful, the breakfast at 11 eu was greatly overpriced & not to our taste...we paid about the same at a local cafe but the food was edible. The room was acceptable - nothing horribly wrong w/ this hotel but not one I would presonally return to.

7.2

Posizione strategica, ben servita. Hotel da consigliare. Unico problema: rumore esterno.

9.1

Very good quality for the money paid. The hotel is far from fancy, but if you're looking for a place to sleep in the center of Barcelona, this hotel is very ideal. We had a twin roon and the room was spacious compared to the other hotels in the big cities I've stayed before, like Paris and Milano. Although the hotel itself seemed pretty dated, I was satisfied with the cleanliness of the place. The location was fabulous. Very convenient for sightseeing and also there're plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. Although the hotel was located in the center of the city, I had no trouble with the noise from outside. I would definitely recommend this hotel for travellers who would like to see the city and go out for drinks at night rather than enjoy the hotel life.

9.9

We were very pleased with this hotel. Large comfortable room. Located a minute from the main plaza of Bari Goti area. Beautiful 700 year old church, dozens of restaurants, shopping, live Spanish music & within easy walking to the beach area & Las Rambla. Accomodating & friendly staff. We would definitely stay here again.

8.8

Great location,just across from the Cathedral in the center of Barri Gotic-300 meters from Placa Catalunya Metro and Airbus terminus. Very nice rooms,good beds,and well priced @89 euros/nite. Breakfast not included,but many AM cafes in the neighborhood with 4 euro breakfasts.

8.2

Albergo in posizione strategica,pulito, bagno piccolo e senza finestra, ma ben accessoriato, purtroppo PESSIMO ISOLAMENTO ACUSTICO, molto disturbato sia dalla strada che dagli sciacquoni dei bagni confinanti. Forse per una notte va bene, noi abbiamo fatto 5 pernottamenti, ma abbiamo dormito veramente poco e male! A parità di prezzo, sempre in centro storico, abbiamo visto di meglio.

7.7

The location is very convenient and the staff are very helpful.

7.8

I will use it again :-)

9.8

We were travelling with SAS. Booked travelagency and hotel ourselves. The Hotel appears as it looks like in the advertisement: Nice, clean friendly with an better than average breakfast treatment. In the good end of the classification. Very helpful portiers and nice, well equipped clean rooms. ( You are allowed to smoke in the roms, though it does't smell like it!). It is situated in the central part of the old city, and in all ways a perfect place to start Your exploraton of Barcelona. If You do not crave for exquisit luxury and have other things You'd rather spend your money on, this is a very good hotel to choose.

5.6

Very good location. Very clean. Very noisy. Air conditioning not working

6.2

Our room (on the right hand side of the hotel when facing it) was very noisy at night which was the biggest drawback. Everything from bottles being tipped, to mopeds and just loud people going down the alley at the side early in the morning and very late at night! The location however was excellent, just off the Cathedral Square. It would be helpful if the directions pointed out that the hotel is tucked away behind the much bigger Hotel Colon (we spent an hour walking round with our cases and wish we'd known this as the map is very unhelpful). Would stay here again, but definitely in a quieter room!

9.8

This is an excellent place for somebody that comes for a quick visit: centrally located, good price/quality, friendly and helpful staff.

9.5

Good clean hotel, reasonably priced & superbly located. Who needs more?

9.1

Excellent location, good price per service and space.

8.7

A good choice of hotel, right beside the big cathedral square. Breakfast was good continental. It was close to a stop for the city tour bus, which was convenient. We bought a two-day hop-on hop-off ticket, which worked out very well. However there was plenty of interest nearby also.

9.2

Good hotel, good location for visiting Barcelona, excellent staff, Needed to change room after first night, room opposite hostel was very noisy, other side of hotel was fine. Asked at reception and no problem with room change. would go back again and make sure we were in the rooms on right as you look at front of hotel.

9.2

Excellent value and location. Staff were very friendly.

8.4

Great hotel for the price. Excellent location, a 10 minute walk from Placa Catalunya. The front desk staff were very helpful and most of them spoke English very well. The room was very spacious. I would definitely stay here again.

9.4

The location of Hotel Regencia Colon was excellent. Right around the corner from the Barcelona Cathedral and I was there just in time for an annual Christmas street fair. The metro is only about 5 minutes away and it makes getting around the city easy and fast. Beware of pick pockets on the metro and any place with crowds. I felt comfortable on my own even coming back to the hotel late. I would stay at the Hotel Regencia Colon again when I return to beautiful Barcelona!

8.6

Excellent location for meeting cruise ships.

8.9

Stayed overnight as going on curise following day so close to Port. Hotel was excellent for the price very pleasantly surprised.Rooms very clean staff very helpful and pleasant. Brilliant location for La Rambla. Would definatley reccommend this hotel.

9.7

Exactly as described. Excellent staff who answered all questions and helped with any and all arrangements we needed. Great location. Definitely a "keeper."

9.7

The hotel was exactly as represented. The location is great, the staff very helpful and the price was very good. We have been to Bacelona many times and this is the best value we have found.

9.5

Fabulous location and great hotel. The room is a bit small--other than that, there is no reason to stay at a more expensive hotel

7.9

The location of this hotel was perfect- just opposite the gothic cathedral. Lots of little restaurants within walking distance. The staff always greeted us with a smile and were most helpful. Bit noisy from the bathroom next door and from the street but got used to it. Would definately go back here.

7.8

The staff was extremely helpful to us and our room was great. We loved staying near the cathedral in the Gotic area, The hotel is a bit hard to find. Our taxi driver didn't know where it was even using her GPS. She took us near the cathedral and said we'd have to walk from there. When I looked around, I saw she was at the front door of the hotel and did't know it.

8.7

Hotel was central and well located for the old town and hop-on hop-off bus. Good value restrurants nearby. Overall I would recommend.

10

Great welcome after long journey, very helpful and informative front desk staff. Lovely clean rooms and all the staff was very friendly, nice breakfast. Best location for Las Ramblas nice easy walk, very close. Would not hesitate to stay there again.

7.8

My wife and I sayed at the Regencia Colon for 4 nights in July and thought the hotel was excellent for price and location and the beakfast was good value. Very little noise from outside considering it is across the square from the cathedral, however the people next door were noisy although that could happen anywhere. We would definitely stay here again.

8.8

Perfect touristclass-hotel, within walkingdistance from "everything" in the Barri Gotic, and also from La Rambla, the beach, the aquarium, the touristic bus, shops, restaurants, the market - so to speak everything! We didn't hear anything between the rooms, but it was some noice from the streets outside - anyhow, the surroundings are very quiet. The breakfast wasn't that good (not included, and somewhat expensive), but we found a coffeshop a feew meters down the street that was perfect! Could perfectly recomend this hotel to friends, a small family, couples; everyone!

8.7

Mi novia y yo solamente nos quedamos una noche. El hotel está muy bien ubicado, sobre todo para llegar a la Plaza Cataluña y para admirar la Catedral. Los cuartos son excepcionales, considerando el precio que pagamos. Hay un poco de ruido de la calle, pero eso termina temprano, ya que no hay muchos bares cerca, así que pudimos descansar como lo planeamos. Cuando regrese a Barcelona, seguro me quedaría en esta opción.

8.8

Hotel Regencia Colon is well placed to reach the famous Gothic area of Barcelona and a short walk to the Ramblas. I would highly recommend a visit to the vibrant city of Barcelona

9.8

Brilliant hotel in fantastic location. Spotlessly clean throughout. Spacious room, powerful shower,lots of piping hot water, flat screen tv with loads of channels. Very helpful friendly staff. Excellent value for money, would definitely recommend to others and use again. Breakfast, which is not included, is bland and overpriced, so either eat out or get something from the local shops and eat in your room - we had plenty of space and a table in our room to do this, plus we used the mini bar to keep our drinks etc cold and fresh in.

8.2

The room was a bit run down, however, for the price it was ok. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was awesome.

6.5

My husband & I flew in from NY. We stayed at Regencia Colon for 2 days-1 day pre-cruise & 1 day post-cruise. For both stays, we arrived at appx. 8am & were told we couldn't check in until 2pm. After traveling such a long way, we were tired & it was a bummer to have to kill all that time walking La Rambla (most stores don't open until 10am). They should provide earlier check in, especially since the rooms get cleaned early in the morning. Case in point: the next morning at 9am, the maid walked right in on us without even knocking! However the hotel is in an excellent location-convenient to all the action. We didn't eat at the hotel, so I can't rate the food there. The rooms are smallish & the area is somewhat noisy, but they were very clean. The first time we stayed, we had twin beds pushed together. The next we had a double bed. Both were board hard & not very comfortable. If you're traveling from the US, make sure you bring 220v electrical appliances. When I plugged in our converter, it blew the fuse & we lost all electricity in our room. I had to go out & buy a hair dryer, since the one in our room didn't work. We told the desk agent the times a cab would be needed & he efficiently arranged for it to be there on time. Cab fare from airport was 45 euro and it's about a 15 minute drive.

9.9

Had a wonderful 5 days stay at the Hotel Regencia Colon. Lovely spacious and clean room, which overlooks the cathedral. The front desk staff was very helpful and friendly. Not any noise, no thieves. Excellent location in the heart of Bari Gotic. We didn't have breakfast in the hotel - as recommended by other "veneries" -, and this was a good choice. There are a lot of nice bars and cafes nearby. Next time we will stay again in the Regencia Colon.

9.3

Excellent stay. Very polite and professional staff. Clean. Quiet. Centrally located. Excellent all the way around.

8.6

Staff particularly helpful.

4.5

The hotel is in a fairly good location for seeing the city, however with the exception of one receptionist it was not very welcoming. Breakfast was OK but not worth the extra money. At night during the weekend there is a lot of noise from the adjacent square.

8.3

The only problem that I experienced was some construction noise coming from above during the day. The noise did not start extremely early, however, it was a bit of a bother towards the end of my stay. Other than that, my hotel stay was excellent.

7.0

I went on my honeymoon. This was not my first time in Barcelona although it was my first time in the hotel. The room was smaller than what the pictures showed. The room was very clean, although it was very noisy from the street below and the noices from other rooms and the hall. The location was excelent, walking distance to the main attractions or by subway.

9.7

Our group of 3 ladies were indeed satisfied with this hotel. Service was excellent and staff was really helpful. Very good price & quality combination, and the best thing was great location of this hotel.

6.6

We chose this hotel based on price and location, knowing we were not in need of many facilities. It's really well situated if a little noisy and the staff were really helpful. We thought breakfast was on the expensive side. The room was clean and fine except for a strong smell of smoke on arrival despite it being a "non-smoking" hotel. We would stay there again.

9.7

Had a wonderful 4 night stay at the Hotel Regencia Colon. Lovely spacious room for 3 adults. The front desk staff were very helful and friendly. Took their advice on travelling by tube and not the bus. Centrally located. We would stay here again without a doubt.

7.6

Some street noise (rubbish lorries?) at night. Noise from people talking loudly in the passage outside the room.You could hear people talking in the adjacent room, but nothing unbearable.

9.9

We stayed two nights at this wonderful Hotel. Very convienient location. Great staff. Room was spacious and clean.

8.2

Excellent hotel ideally located in the heart of historic Barcelona. Only complaint was the constant (and late) noise from the streets that permeated the room we were staying in.

8.6

The desk staff were very helpful with all queries and organising transport around the city and to the airport. fantastic location.

10

The hotel is perfectly located. Much better option than it's more expensive Hotel Colon neighbor. We had a lovely stay. I would definitely return.

7.3

Good central location close to sites, bus to airport, Turistic bus, etc,

7.3

I would definetly recommend this hotel to anyone that looks for an excellent position right in the centre of Barcelona. The room I got was spacious and clean. My advise is to call the hotel in advance to make sure you get a double room and not a twin-bed room, if you indeed pay for such a facility. The staff was friendly and helpful.

9.0

Excellent location, but you have to put up with some late night noise. Decent double - glazing would improve matters. Very friendly and helpful staff. Decent breakfast, (possibly a bit pricey), but overall extremely good value, and we would definately stay there again. A word of warning to those who have not visited Barcelona before though - WATCH OUT FOR BAG SNATCHERS AND PICKPOCKETS. Apparently, this is the European capital of petty thieves, a greasy little guy sneaked up behind my wife and tried to make off with her bag, but thanks to the advice of the Hotel concierge, she had wisely wrapped the strap closely to her wrist, and he legged it once I turned on him! More good advice - NEVER take your passport out with you, use the hotel safe.

9.4

We had four wonderful days in the Regencia Colon in Barcelona. It is located perfectly, so that we strolled every day around the Ramlas and went running at the beach front. The important station for public transport, the Placa Catalynua, is some minutes to walk. From there you can take the bus to the airport, to Prac Guell and to the Montjuic Castle. Perfect! We didn't have breakfast in the hotel - as recommended by other "veneries" -, and this was a good choice. There are a lot of nice bars and cafes nearby. Next time we will stay again in the Regencia Colon.

8.6

Excellent location in the heart of Bari Gotic. Close to all amenities and within walking distance of the Port and beach. Only a couple of metro stops to fabulous Parc Guell. Lots of good bars/restraunts close by.

9.9

Turists Double bed

7.4

It is a good place to stay in as it is near the Rambla and Barric Gothic. Basically, it's very central but you are paying for less in this hotel. It is one of the better 3 stars hotels that I have stayed in, most importantly, the rooms are spacious and it is near the Metro Jaume 1.

9.6

I consider the Regencia Colón and its upscale sister, the Colón, which overlooks the cathedral, to be the ideal hotel and location for visitors to the city.

9.2

We came from a cruise and were accommodated with our luggage being stored until the room was ready. Staff was friendly and spoke good English, recommended tours and provided valuable info. on orientation and safety (there are frequent attempts to approach tourists - either by some conartists or just pickpockets, so a word of caution - stay away from "friendly" locals offering their help or asking questions. Room was surprisingly spacious and clean, including completely renovated bathroom with an excellent shower. Heavy automatic shutters absorb most of the noise, which seems to be a constant factor from the outside (hotel itself is rather quiet), so we were very comfortably resting at night. Location is great - in the center of Barre Gothic and short walk from tourist buses, taxes, main Cathedral, etc. Just note - there is only l night clerk at the desk, who can't help with the luggage if you arrive or leave early am.

9.1

Very nice hotel, perfect location. breakfast is to expensiv.

10

We loved the hotel Regencia Colon - right in the center of "old" Barcelona - close to everything - staff were most accommodating and helped us with places to visit. Breakfast was excellent. A super place to stay in one of the nicest cities in Europe. We would recommend to others, in fact, have already.

8.2

Loved the hotel and staff were very helpful, location was great, only complaint is noise during the night but as the location was so central, I don´t think it would be possible to avoid this.

9.3

Excellent location for searching all around Barcelona because of metro station in distance of 200 meters.

8.7

A friend and I were traveling in Spain and we stayed two nights at the Colon Regencia. The location was wonderful and the hotel staff was very helpful in our needs at the hotel and information regarding Barcelona. The breakfast cost extra but was very substantial. This hotel sits directly behind its sister hotel the Colon. We rented a triple room which was simple and typically European in its size, but the price and location made it a good value for the money. Restaurants, shops and plazas abound in this area as well as the Barcelona Cathedral. It is close to the tourist bus. I would definitely stay at the hotel again.

8.5

Very pleasant location, nice rooms, we decided to take the breakfast outside (more choice and best prices). I recommand this hotel!

8.2

This hotel is located in Gothic main area It takes only 3min from Cathedral. Urban staffs behaved properly and kindly. Accommodations are snug and clean. I suppose my room is large enough to seat a couple.

8.4

We had never been to Barcelona before and selected this hotel based on comments on Venere and Trip Advisor. The rate was very good and the location is outstanding. It was an easy walk from Placa Catalunya, which is an easy bus ride from the airport. The hotel is on the edge of the Barri Gotic, which has tons of restaurants and shops. The staff were very helpful and indulged my wife in her high school Spanish, switching to English as needed. The room was clean and bright and featured very reasonable minibar prices as well as a corkscrew and wine glasses if you wanted to bring your own. We will definitely return. Just be aware that Barcelona is a noisy city and bring earplugs. The hotel itself isn't noisy but the street noise goes on well into the wee hours.

9.3

hotel posizionato nel cuore di Barcelona.. camere pulite e personale veramente cortese e professionale. lo consiglio a tutti. benissimo il solo pernottamento in quanto intorno varie possibilità di colazione. Hotel da tenere in considerazione

8.8

More as expected. The hotel is very well sited, close to the Cathedral and all the entertainments. Rooms are better as we supposed (including LCD TV). It is an extension of 4* Colon Hotel in front of the Cathedral. They don´t have internet service

9.4

Excellent location,we had a comfortable triple room and enjoyed the optional breakfast (plenty of choice), overall a pleasing hotel and good value for money

10

we were there during a festival and it was pretty crowded but still easy to get around. the hotel is across from the gothic cathedral and close to Las Ramblas. We took the hop on and off tour bus which was great. It stopped at about 40 stops. The people at the hotel were very friendly answering questions,giving directions etc. The pictures of the room on the website were accurate, no surprises. I would surely stay there again. The only thing it didnt include breakfast, but there was a Starbucks on every corner.

9.9

I was very satisfied with this hotel. The room was clean and more spacious than I was expecting and the hotel was in great location. I arrived early that morning direct from a cruise ship, the registration staff welcomed me and offered to store my luggage while I did some sightseeing. They spoke English and were extremely pleasant and helpful with my questions about how to make the most of my day in Barcelona. I have no complaints and would gladly stay there again.

9.3

Welcoming staff, spacious and clean room, central location and good value. We hope to return to Barcelona and this hotel soon!

10

We had a great stay in this very convenient location. Close to shopping, dining, and historical sites. Friendly and helpfull made our stay very enjoyable right in the center of everything.

8.2

Location. Location. Location.

8.4

Hôtel très très bien située en face de la Cathédrale et de La Ramblas (quartier animé). Restaurants nombreux à proximité. Accès difficile par les petits rues.

8.9

l'hotel si trova in una posizione meravigliosa, dietro la cattedrale, a 10 minuti a piedi sia dalle rambles che da barceloneta. Il rapporto qualità/prezzo è ottimale anche perchè l'hotel è molto piu' bello di quanto presentano le foto del sito, che non rendono l'idea. Per quanto riguarda la colazione che non è inclusa nel prezzo, vicino all'hotel c'è una catena di bar chiamata "cappuccino" che ha un'ottima scelta e con 5 euro a testa si può fare una splendida colazione all'italiana.

9.5

We were 2 adults in a beautiful double room. Very quiet surroundings. We enjoyed the stay very much,and can only recommend the hotel to any other that wants to live near by where it happens.

7.9

Although the room was spacious and hotel in an excellent location for seeing all of Barcelona, we had quite a problem with street noise every night. The garbage trucks came three times between 12:30am and 3:00am every night and the sound echoed up the stone walls outside and right into the room. We were only on the second floor, so maybe it would have been better higher up. I was only able to sleep with the help of earplugs, which fortunately I always travel with. Other than that, the room was excellent for the price. We were actually charged slightly less than the rate we were confirmed for. We were able to walk everywhere with ease and the closest metro stop was only a few blocks. We would recommend this place again, but try to get a room on the opposite side of the building from the entrance, and on a high floor.

8.3

Special mention for this hotel, ideally located in the center of the town. The only problem is noise coming from outside during the night : double glazing would be necessary ...

9.4

Very good hotel in the centre.

9.6

We were very happy with our stay. The staff was OUTSTANDING. Helpful, courteous, gracious - even allowed us to use their phone two days after we checked out - when our cell phone died and we were in a jamb. Room was not large but exceptionally clean. Only downside - internet access only possible from the main hotel and for a 10E/day charge. Fantastic location

8.6

Great location near cathedral and 5 mins walk from La Rambla. Contrary to other reviewers, I didn't hear the cathedral bells; perhaps it's wise to check there is no festival taking place! Much better hotel than expected for three-star; very good value. Breakfast nice spread, but water for tea never really hot as it was in a thermos flask; I went out last morning. Friendly staff who spoke good English.

9.0

I booked 2 rooms in this hotel a double and a triple, both rooms were excellent. We have been to Barcelona many times in the last few years, always stopping on or around the Ramblas, this is by far one of the best hotels,we have stayed in A really good location, and a lot quieter at night than previous visits. I will without a doubt be stopping here again

8.7

We had a wunderfull time in this hotel. Location was excellent, but a bit noisy. Perfect hotel, this was our 2nd time in Barcelona and we decided that if we come back again it must be in this hotel.

7.6

Very nice hotel at a very central location. Staff at the reception was very helpful.
