8.2(1886)9/10 Warm and welcoming stay in a relaxing hotel
As soon as we arrived the staff were welcoming and friendly. They efficiently checked us in and offered us room early if we wanted one as we'd arrived earlier than the check in time. The foyer area was exceptionally clean and was filled with a fresh and welcoming scent from a diffuser. The room was clean and comfortable with a good selection of toiletries and other useful items. We had requested a quiet room and that need was met - the room was air conditioned but also had a large window that could be opened for fresh air.
The location of the hotel is ideal - easy access to main attractions and within walking distance of many good restaurants and shops.
Breakfast was fresh with a wide range of options available to suit all tastes included gluten free and a range of dairy alternative milks. Such a lovely hotel - I would definitely stay there again.

8/10 Great location; friendly staff

9/10 Lovely hotel in great location
The location was great with many restaurants, points of interest, farmer’s market, shopping and public transit within easy walking distance (less than 1 mile). The front desk staff was extremely accommodating and welcoming. The room was comfortable and bathroom nice with good towels. The lobby was lovely and there was a cooler in the lobby with fresh lime and mint water that was delicious. The only reason I didn’t give the hotel all 10s is because the mini fridge was dirty when we arrived, but quickly cleaned when I told them, and it would have been nice for the coffee packets to have been replaced after we drank the 2 provided the first morning.

10/10 Best Hotel to stay while visiting Barcelona
Hotel located walking distance to most beautiful places In Gothic Quarter. It was very clean and the bathroom was spacious. Rooms in Europe are generally smaller than in USA so look at the square ft before reserving a room, for 2 ppl was perfect. I always want to have small fridge and kettle in the room and this is in the standard. The staff were very nice and helpful. They make us reservations to great restaurants or booked taxi in seconds! Hotel doors were locked at night for extra safety. Breakfast was SUPERB! Next time I’m in Barcelona I’m staying at Hotel Colonial again!

9/10 Beautiful but noisy.
The Hotel is marvelous and the staff is amazing. Gorgeous room, roomy, beautiful high end bathroom, comfortable beds, staff outside ready and waiting to help you luggage etc. The only thing we disliked was beyond their control. We were on the third floor overlooking a busy street with a bus stop nearby; every night there were people out there yelling, screaming, fighting until about 4:00 in the morning. I would definitely stay in the hotel again, but I would ask for a room that wasn’t on the street. The views were great and there were huge windows to look out of, but the noise was too much.

Fantastic location. Exceptional is the word we would use. Staff were incredibly polite and we loved Jose in the bar, what a lovely man. We were a family of 9 and they ensured all our rooms were together. The rooms were exactly the same as the photos. We would definitely go again.

The Hotel is in an excellent location, and our room was quiet from any external noise. The room was compact, but very clean. The bathroom was modern, with plenty of hot water for a shower. There was a good selection for breakfast.

10/10 Wonderful Barcelona Hotel
The room looked exactly like the picture, maybe even better. It's the perfect location right next to the gothic quarter but not in the middle of the chaos. It is also a 10 minute walk to the marina and a few extra to the beach. The staff is really wonderful. I will come back!

6/10 Not worthy of money
The money I spent for this hotel it wasn’t really worthy. They call it’s a four star hotel but the facilities of this hotel is like a 2 or maximum 3 star hotel.

10/10 Excellent staff and hotel
Absolutely amazing hotel staff were genuinely nice and so helpful. The staff- I cannot say enough nice things about every single person that worked there that we came into contact with. I messed up my reservation and the front desk staff went above and beyond to help my family out. One young man that worked that spoke to my son about football and was just so engaging. Everyone that worked there seemed genuinely nice and helpful. They were all amazing.
The hotel- gorgeous. Great location. Clean, well appointed, absolutely lovely. Amazing location. Right in front of the cathedral of Barcelona. The view is outstanding. The location is excellent.
My entire family enjoyed this hotel. The rooftop bar was excellent. Ribs were delicious and sangria was amazing. Again the staff were incredible. We had good seats with really good view. Another table opened up with a a better view and the staff asked us if we wanted the better table and helped us move our drinks etc.
We will 1,000% stay at this hotel again!! LOVED it!!

6/10 Hotel colonial at half term
Nice enough hotel.
Positives: location; spacious rooms/bathrooms; great breakfast.
Negatives: very noisy (roadworks outside, plus general road noise, rubbish collection, etc. at all times); used plaster found in ‘clean’ bed; a bit tired in terms of decor; WiFi intermittent.

Erghhh!!! Usually I don't give bad feedbacks.
1. I checked in on Oct 30th around 9pm & the reception assigned us to room. I & my partner walked into the room & realized after entering it was occupied by someone else as soon as we saw the bags inside. We got so scared & luckily they were not in room. It was our first time in Europe & we got so scared/strange. We ran back to reception but the reception was so calm & asked question if the room was occupied. Honestly he didn't apologize & noted someone made mistake in system. If he had a doubt, he should have atleast checked it before assigning it me. What a shock.
2. Day 2 of my stay - Another shocking!!! My room was cleaned around 11am from housekeeping but I returned to room around 4pm as I was tired & was taking a power nap. All of a sudden, housekeeping (lady) entered the room by using her credential without even knocking, thinking nobody in the room. She left immediately but I went out to ask if everything is okay, but she apologized and left right away. I went to reception to ask why she entered but reception said he will look into it & get back. It was so strange!!!
3. I stayed here 4 night & my bathroom toilet FLUSH didn't work on last day. The reception came & fixed it few times.. It is outdated.
4. Rooms are very small.
Only thing I liked in this hotel is location. It was near for everything but service is extremely bad & disappointed...

8/10 Great hotel for city break.
We couldn’t have been more pleased with the location of the hotel. It was in walking distance of the centre and marina - we didn’t require any taxis the whole time apart from to and fro the airport.
The room was clean and comfortable - only downside was that our view was of a wall. But we weren’t overly bothered as we didn’t spend much time in the room, as we were out exploring.
The breakfast was fresh and delicious. Great scrambled eggs.
Staff were very friendly and always accommodating and greeted us every time we came back and they were extremely helpful at booking our taxi back to the airport.
I would definitely recommend this hotel to others.
