Renovated hotel but service in all areas is lacking. Took over an hour to get a bowl of soup in the restaurant. Coffee bar does not take room charge or cash or American Express. Please beware check out per person takes over 10 minutes. Room smells like Clorox and we had no hot water in the shower. During the day, the area is very safe, but after the cruise ships leave and the store is closed. Please be careful.

Staff was inconsistent. We had to add a day and we were told we had to change rooms when we were told we did not have to change rooms during our day of checkout. There is one person checking out with like 12 people in line took us a half hour to check out Otherwise hotel was nice plenty of restaurants. Nice beach walkable to downtown felt safe. When you stay in the Bahamas just have to get used to slow and reverse with how things happen. Be patient. We were traveling on business. We are a corporate flight department crew

British Colonial Here is our honest review of our stay at the British Colonial Hotel, and Downtown Nassau; The Hotel itself is very nice, having been recently renovated in 2022. The lobby is gorgeous, as are the restaurant and bar. Very tasteful and classy. The grounds and pool areas are immaculate and lovely. 1 main pool and a secondary shallow pool for kids, (although we didn’t see many kids there during our week there), presumably due to the cost. We had no problem finding lounge chairs, or a good spot by the pool. The private beach area is spectacular…gorgeous turquoise and super-clear water. Can’t say I’ve ever seen a nicer beach with such powdery sand. Great views of the port and cruise ship terminal too. Location is an easy 10-minute walk to downtown. Although this may seem to be a good thing, the whole downtown core becomes a ghost town after 5pm. According to the locals, this is because the cruise ships re-embark around that time. We struggled to find any decent sit-down restaurants for dinner every night…very frustrating! You must take a taxi to find a nice place to eat. Even Senor Frog’s was closed after 5. Our room was a decent size, but only had one chair, and no couch. We had opted for the king ocean view, and got a partial ocean view, but a great view of the cruise terminal, so we could see the comings and goings of some cool huge ships. The room had some cleanliness issues, mostly that the shower had some mold. Otherwise, it was okay. Staff are super-friendly

Hotel is near downtown Nassau. Despite having an ocean view, the beachfront is directly facing a construction site (a future waterpark), so it's noisy even at night. Hotel has terrible noise insulation and I could hear people staying next door speaking loud and clear. Hotel restaurants are low quality with very high price ($85 for a piece of fish filet that's overcooked). The waiter took the wrong order, food didn't arrive until 40 mins later. We flagged down the manager, who apologized, but didn't do anything to fix the bill so we were charged on the dish we didn't order. Aside from that, food quality at the pool bar was equally bad. Overall, it was an extremely disappointed experience.
