For a hotel that trades on its legacy, I expected something closer to timeless — not tired. The first surprise was being charged local taxes because my American passport apparently wasn’t sufficient proof of living abroad. That conversation alone set the tone. I’m still waiting to hear back from the manager who promised to “review” the issue. The room was… fine. Not offensive, just uninspired — sparse furniture, little character, and none of the polish you’d expect at this price point. Service felt reactive rather than attentive. And the poolside food? Cold, forgettable, and wildly out of sync with the hotel’s self-image. My overall impression is that this place peaked about 20 years ago and is now relying on cosmetic updates to preserve the illusion. Unfortunately, hospitality isn’t about makeup — it’s about execution. And execution was lacking. I’ll be back for Carnaval in 2027. Just not here.

The staff is amazing. The housekeeping was on top of it. Remember this hotel was built 99 years ago. It has that old hotel charm. Some things need to be overlooked to enjoy it. The pool is amazing. The breakfast was great. The restaurant by the pool was not so good. I had a club sandwich. Not the best be it is only one meal in my life.

Hotel El Prado is the best! You are crazy to stay anywhere else in Barranquilla! I travel all the time. I know what I am talking about. Classy, historic, great food, awesome beds and pillows and bedding. Go stay for 2 nights. It is the best mini vacation you can have and super affordable. The only complaint is that the food and drink service at the pool can be very slow.
