Big Hassle

We arrived at hotel with proper paperwork. We were being sent to another hotel as they overbooked. Desk clerk and manager were very rude. They wanted my credit card for the new hotel but wouldn't give comformation that they were transferring me due to overbooking. They threatened to call police if I didn't comply! They took my paid reservation papers from online and wouldn't give them back. Luckily I had duplicates in my suitcase. I wanted them to acknowledge that the room was paid for and that they were transferring us due to them overbooking so I had some recourse should I be charged twice. They wouldn't do it. After 20 minutes they signed a paper for me but then they all but threw us out of the door. My daughter and I dragged all our luggage across the street ourselves. We ended up staying at the Colon Hotel. Older but nice looking. Desk clerks were better but not by much. All in all a bad experience. I've traveled extensively and have never had an experience like this.

We also depended on the reviews but were still leary. This truly is a gem. We were very happy to find a view of the cathedral out one of our windows, with a view of the plaza. We took a bus from the airport and walked to the hotel. This would have worked great but plan a head and do a map quest, as there are many tiny side streets and alleys. The location was great. The staff was very friendly, but don't bother calling down to the front desk for anything, they usually won't answer. That and the late night garbage trucks would be the only complaint. We would never stay any where else. This is a true gem.

Great value and location!

Front desk personnel were very friendly, spoke excellent English, were very helpful on giving us tour information, etc. Great location! Easy to walk to shopping. Made taxi arrangements for us to get to the cruise ship terminal. Wish we had more time in Barcelona and we would stay here again.

This hotel is the 3 star "sister" hotel of the 4 star Hotel Colon. We've stayed in both and prefer this one. If you insist on a room over looking the Cathedral (which is covered in scaffolding) then stay at the Hotel Colon. If you don't want the view stay at the Hotel Regencia Colon and save some money on the room. Keep in mind some of the Colon rooms look out to the Regencia! From our room you could even see a corner of the Cathedral Square! Hotel was not offering breakfast so we walked up-the-block to the "local" coffee chain "Cappuccino". Skip Starbucks and have breakfast here with the locals. For dinner run -- don't walk -- to Neyras and eat in the tapas bar. Regencia Colon is right in the Gothic Quarter and within 3 or 4 winding blocks of Las Ramblas.

Great location!

We had depended on the reviews here to help us narrow our hotel selection down, but were still leary about what we'd find upon arrival...What a relief to find a great little hotel in a fab area of town! We loved being a stone's throw from the Cathedral Gotic and just a few blocks from the Placa Catalunya and Las Ramblas! The shopping, dining, wandering and people-watching in this area is endless, and the Metro is easy to navigate from 2 close by stops that connect to 3 different lines. Our main focus is always on location, location, location, so this was perfect for us. As for the accomodations, our room was bright and roomy with all of the necessities readily available. The bathroom was great, there was a quiet elevator, and the staff was friendly. As for criticisms, the hotel still had central heat going, so we had to turn our unit off and open the balcony door to keep cool during a temperature spike. Also, I would recommend packing a hairdryer, as the one provided is not very effective and gets too hot to hold after a few minutes! Several reviewers commented on the loud street sounds, and while there were some, we were not bothered by it at all...perhaps we were just too exhausted every night, but we slept with our balcony door open every night, which faced the Plaza, and weren't bothered at all except for one late night garbage truck! Overall, a great spot- we'll stay again!
