The location is perfect. It's the biggest plus of this hotel 100%! Hotel Colon is in the heart of Old Town and a few steps from the beach! Everything is around the hotel. Not far from hotel Colon is a shop/Mercado very well equipped. In the building is lift. Good for ppl with mobility problems. Very good pressure shower and you can set up from very cold water to very hot water. What you like 😉. Between hotel Colon and hotel Marisol is bus stop. You can take the tour bus. The taxi is next to the Colon. The cleaner comes every morning but she only changes towels 2 times during 12 days, cleans the sink and sweeps the floor. You can buy breakfast every morning for 8 Euro, but to be honest it is a mini buffet with a small choice of food. Nothing special food. The best is only fresh squeezed orange juice. Next to the hotel is 3 restaurants with a good choice of food and English breakfast 😉 for the same price. I have asked about the kettle and mugs. Very fast it was delivered to our room with 4 bags of tea. If I need something like forks or a knife I can bring it from the canteen. No problems at all! Thanks. I didn't meet a lot of English ppl, mostly Spanish... it's okay. The staff was nice and friendly and helpful. At night shift some guys didn't speak English but were always polite and respectful. They took our baggage in a locked/safety room. ----------+++---- I have to write about the bad sides of the hotel, because if the Hotel Colon advertises that it has balconies or other facilities that we pay for, it needs to be verified! I chose H. Colon because there is a lot of positive feedback, so let's talk about it😁 I've booked an economic twin room. Yea I realized that it is only a budget room, but... 👎The room is a very small! To be honest I was disappointed because I expected a minimum of comfort. 👎Very narrow beds. One of bed has a wheels🙄 you can imagine what was in the morning🙈?! The bed moves in any way! 👎 Air-conditioning. Not possible to change settings. Poor aircon as it is blocked and you are not able to set the right temperature! Of course you can try but save your time😉is blocked. 👎Very very small fridge, MICRO fridge. You can put in a few pop cans, that's it! 👎Balcon🙄? I don't think so the balcony only a very narrow small piece of concrete. It is not possible to take a sit and enjoy time in the evening or night, because no table and it is not possible to fit 2 people there! I don't want to mention the table, chairs and more than 2 ppl. 👎Bathroom, not ventilation in. Every day I felt a specific, unpleasant smell. Something like mold, bleh. 👎The view from the room is a view of the second massive building.That's all! 👎Our flight to home was late at night. So I had to spend time in a hotel or walking around town. Check out at 12 pm. Lobby is small with small sofa separate from canteen but only transparent paravane. Rest room but no Aircon so you can boiled because 1 of July temperature shown 39°C. It is not possible to take a shower becaus
