Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Staff are wonderful. The hotel and cafe are charming and comfortable, though a tad spare, like a historic inn. Breakfast is a set menu served to you by the staff in the cafe: quite filling and delicious. Only drawback is street noise from about 6:30 to 23:30, as the location is close to the main tourist area. With that caveat, highly recommended.”
“I enjoyed the Colon Hotels. It is a smaller family style operated hotel. I had an inner room that had a window that opened to an interior patio. This was fine as it was very quiet which is great for sleeping. It had a good AC. The hot water is plenty hot. The bathroom is a decent size and comfortable to use. There is a restaurant on the bottom floor that is part of the hotel and you can get your included breakfast there. The ladies that run the hotel are all very nice. The hotel is right close to the La Merced parking garage. We had a car so this was very convenient. I would stay here again if I were to visit Ronda again. It's a nice stroll to the famous bridge in Ronda. I have attached some pictures from around Ronda.”
“We loved our stay at Hotel Colon, has an old world feel with modern take. Room was cosy and well equipped and the sun terrace off the room was fabulous. The ladies that look after this hotel are all very lovely and very welcoming. Thank you to all at Hotel Colon and we hope to return some day.”
“We stayed here 2 nights. Service was outstanding. The woman at reception didn't speak too much English but with our poco Spanish, we were fine. Room was comfortable and bright. It is next a semi busy street but I am a light sleeper and typically wear earplugs so I was fine. Location was great. Nearby restaurants, new bridge 5 min walk, overlook 2 min. A lot of food at breakfast. The tomato puree was delicious and fresh squeezed orange juice, yum! Recommend”
