Hostal Colon Antequera

Initially I was extremely disappointed by the overall look of the hotel, the reception area especially. It has an air of some of the old hotels of Spain’s past with many authentic framed historic photos of street life in Antequera, and of El Torcal and the ancient dolmans, and many unique fixtures and fittings…which have the hotel its individual character. Many of these old Hostals have gone or been turned into “boutique” hotels, lacking in any individuality, so a refreshing change.

I think that the Hostal had become run-down and somewhat neglected and uncared for..many of the facilities were below standard. The rooms needed re-decorating and many things fell short of what are present day expectations. There was little care of the maintenance and replacement of essential items,like lightbulbs and a shower-holder and plug. Not really acceptable in today’s hospitality market.

Pleasant staff, good price. Beautiful old building.

Bottom sheet hadn't been changed. Top sheet was clean but had cigarette burns in it. Bathroom not clean.
