“Centrally located in the Gothic Quarter, the hotel occupies a modernized building dating back to the 1800s, placing guests within easy reach of Barcelona's historic sites. Some rooms feature balconies with views, although street noise and dated interiors are considerations. For travelers prioritizing location above all else, this hotel presents a reasonable option.”

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Barcelona Hotel Colonial impresses guests with its vintage style and large, comfortable rooms, some featuring balconies overlooking the street. Its prime location in the Gothic quarter places you steps away from Las Ramblas and a short walk from the port, beach, and attractions like the Barcelona Cathedral. Guests appreciate the generous breakfast, while some have noted that certain street-facing rooms can be a bit noisy.

The breakfast buffet had a great variety. It included fruit, breads, pastries, and cooked food. The staff was friendly. They were helpful with recommendations for local restaurants. The hotel location is quite close to the Gothic quarter.

This meant noise and traffic bothered me. The room key cards had issues. They frequently stopped working. I found only one coffee sachet provided for two guests. It felt insufficient.
