Meliá Colón is one of Seville's oldest hotels and in some ways it shows. But it continues to attract customers because it maintains high standards in service and dining. The traditional feel outweighs the fact that is not one of the city’s modern hotels nor is it a chic boutique property. It has a great location, in the heart of the old quarter, between the cathedral (a fifteen minute walk), La Giralda, the Torre del Oro and the Real Maestranza. And it is just 12 kilometers from Seville’s International Airport.
Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?
The Meliá Colón is staid and traditional. It is not the most up-to-date hotel in Seville but it does have an Internet corner. You’ll get value for money here whether you are a business traveler or here to see the sights. The staff tend to be more professional than friendly. And it’s been that way a long time.
