muzzy 10 Posted April 2, 2004 #1 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Would like some feedback on this hotel which is located right by the Colon, near the cathedral in Barcelona. Great location, less money than the Colon, but not as fancy. Muzzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samet822 Posted April 2, 2004 #2 Share Posted April 2, 2004 I have friends who stayed there and really liked it. They said the hotel was ideally located and decent clean rooms. We are staying at the Colon in May. We have opted for the Colon because we found a special rate for the days we will be there and the price difference was only about $25 a night. My husband likes to have a 24 hour English speaking front desk when we are in a country without knowing the language. Other than that requirement, we would have picked the Regencia.

muzzy 10 Posted April 2, 2004 Author #3 Share Posted April 2, 2004 Thanks Diane. The hotel got thumbs up from trip advisor.com and Frommers lists it. Tell me more re: no english speaking staff on duty. That concerns me too. Did it create a problem for your friends? We'll only be ther one night.

CruisinD Posted April 2, 2004 #5 Share Posted April 2, 2004 We stayed there a couple of years ago. I had been at the Colon earlier in the year on a different cruise and noted the Regencia so booked that next time around. We were quite happy and I'd book the Regencia again. The people at the front desk certainly spoke English when we were there. Denise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samet822 Posted April 3, 2004 #7 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Absolutely, they spoke English during the day according to my friends. I understand there is no 24 hour front desk - or at least when they were there. We have a 6:45 a.m. flight home after our cruise and were concerned that we might need help getting a cab at 4:45 in the morning. So we opted for a place with a 24 hour front desk.
