I loved my stay. Charming hotel, great staff. The late checkout was a plus! However if you value hot water and soft towels this might not be the place for you.

My experience of this hotel was phenomenal. Great location absolute absolutely fabulous staff. My first night there Tatiana had me sit down on one of the lovely sofas and brought me a glass of wine and we finished checking in. Everybody was so helpful and so friendly and upbeat. A very safe place to stay as a solo female traveler. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful property in heart of Old San Juan. Walkable to historic sites and the water. Lots of shopping and dining options close by. Building itself is quaintly old and well maintained. Open bar and free bottle of wine were nice plus.

Lovely place to stay. Friendly staff, pet friendly, and quiet. Simply perfect, chill and relaxing. Puerto Rico never disappoints and El Colonial was nothing short of great, as expected. Definitely recommend staying there.

Does not have an elevator and my room was on the 4th floor. Not very convenient or easy to get to. The building /Hotel was hard to locate because the outside sign with it's name on it was very small. Also, street names are virtually non-existent.
