Nice staff but that’s it

Staff were very nice. The bed was comfortable but the room was very small and noisy and I was constantly woken up. The bathroom was terrible and the shower had no drainage so I was standing in a bath of water. When I checked in the staff said they upgraded my room…it was awful!

Wonderful renovated historic hotel with helpful, friendly staff, lovely lobby and great Old Town San Juan location. Bedrooms need a bit more work on floors and baseboards. Rooftop area was quiet with views of town and comfortable seating, a great place for a late night drink. Would like to come back soon!

Perfect stay

The staff was excellent, the room was perfect, and the 24 hour bar with complimentary drinks was incredible. Next time I'm in Old San Juan I will definitely be staying at El Colonial.

Location, location, location! Very conveniently located in Old San Juan. And five minutes walk from a taxi station. Service was good. Having said all this, we would not use this hotel again. Most rooms have windows that open inside the hotel on a common area. We asked to change room and were moved to one with a real window! Bathroom was basic, with no shelves and shower with inconsistent hot water. Room was small but had the very essential.
