After reading the negative reviews, my husband and I were apprehensive, to say the least, about our stay at the Melia Colon. We were pleasantly surprised when we stepped into the elegant circular lobby with its stained glass dome ceiling and period décor. Our room was enormous and featured lovely hardwood floors and two balconies offering panoramic views of Seville.... more

We arrived at the Melia Colon hotel on the 16th March 2007 (after going around the block several times, driving in 3 to 4 lanes of traffic and navigating policemen’s directions, we only found this hotel by myself jumping in a taxi which my husband then followed). We were pretty stressed by the time we go to the hotel. The... more

I was concerned about staying at this hotel considering some of the reviews below. I think some of the concernslisted herein are a bit exaggerated. Yes, the hotel is on the older side, but it's very classy and professionally run. Try to speak some Spanish with the front desk staff rather than simply assume that everyone speaks English. If you're... more

This hotel is billed as five-star, and no doubt it ticks all the tourist organisation boxes that need to be filled to justify that rating, but it really doesn’t warrant anything near that. Think 3-star and perhaps work round that, if you feel generous. We booked through a local travel agent, based on the fact the hotel was of a... more

Located close to the Cathedral, the hotel is absolutely in the old district of this fantastic town. But not only the district is old, also this hotel. This place needs absolutely maintenance. Room was quite spacious, that was not a problem, view from the room was at the inner concrete wall of the hotel..... You need to be lucky to... more

I stayed in this hotel with my wife and son in August 2006. Yes, the bedrooms (we had 2) were a iittle faded but the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were superb. The location when you have finally found it, if driving a hire car down all the tiny winding streets, is great for the cathedral,... more

Melia Colon is not as great as you hope it would be. The location is a little wierd, I wish it was closer to the river. This hotel is more inland, which is a disadvantage in my opinion. It feels like a 3-4-star hotel, not a 5-star like they give themselves. The buffett-type breakfast was great though. I probably would... more

We have just returned this week from a two night break in Seville. Yes we agree that the hotel needs updating especially the bathrooms. However our bedroom was large and clean, the breakfasts were superb with excellent choice and quality. Location was good and staff were attentive and helpful. So many restaurants in the city but we found eating at... more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Melia Colon for 3 days 2 nights in early September. The hotel is located in the middle and walking distance to everything, which is important to me. The river and Calle Betis (a good place to go for restaurants and bars at night) is about 3 blocks away. It is located in a... more
