Great central location. We spent 4 days here and the experience was great. Staff is ultra friendly and helpful. This hotel has an open bar which is great. Lots of shops and restaurants surrounding the property. This is a nice little boutique hotel in a building that’s 200 years old. We loved our stay here and would recommend it for active travelers looking for a home base.

I had a wonderful stay at El Colonial! From the moment I arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive. The room was clean and beds were comfortable. The location was perfect and the overall atmosphere of the hotel was peaceful and relaxing. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting San Juan, PR.

Only stayed one night and wish we had longer, staff was fantastic as was the room, we really dug the bath & shower on the private balcony. Our flight wasn’t until 9pm and they had no problem holding our luggage until we had to get a cab to the airport. 10/10

The Hotel Colonial was an interesting and charming place to stay, with an excellent location. The rooms were pristine and well cared for, and the service stood out for being warm and personal. From the rooftop, you could even catch a distant view of the San Cristóbal fort. The property has some quirky features, like 3 big bathtubs with showers on the roof. One thing to note: the stairs can be a real challenge if you’re not in good health, as there’s no elevator. Overall, a wonderful stay with a lot of character.

I’m not sure if we received a non renovated room, but our room floors were dirty with mildew and other stains. Other rooms we passed by appeared clean and newer tiled. The shower handle was backwards cold vs hot and we weren’t told until we took cold showers and asked why we didn’t have hot water. Some really easy fixes to get the hotel up to basic standards. I try to support local hotels as I travel around the world each month, and there are always hits or misses and this was a definitely a miss for the high customer rating. We checked out a day early and switched to another hotel for the last two days of our weekend.

Staff are very nice. Rooms and hotel are very clean, chill and nice. I would’ve love to enjoy hot water in the roof top tubs. Had a wonderful time though! Highly recommended.
Beautiful view from the roof top.
