Hotel Colón Barcelona
5/5 Excellent
"This was a perfect hotel in a perfect location: the center of the Gothic section, surrounded by shops and restaurants. The staff was nice, rooms had all amenities from toothbrushes and robes to coffee maker and refrigerator. Although it is on the Plaza of the Barcelona Cathedral with constant activity and bells ringing every 15 min, the soundproofing was excellent and nothing awakened us. Rooftop bar also added to the ambience."
