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.

Not for the weak at heart. We walked 8 flights of stairs; at least 65 steps to our floor just below the roof top. We didn’t’ get a choice of rooms.

Recently stayed here and it was amazing. I would stay here again and again. The hotel was in the most perfect walkable location. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Had a nice surprise waiting in the lobby at check in that many would be pleasantly surprised by. So many restaurants and stores nearby. The pier was in walking distance to get to other areas in Puerto Rico. A few historic sites within 10 minutes walking distance. Rooms were nice and rooftop was nice. I really can't say enough great things about this property. If you are a very light sleeper my only suggestion is to bring something to cancel noise (we listened to sleep sounds) as the streets and sidewalks of Old San Juan are close together.

This place has no elevators!!! If you are in floor 4, I hope you have been hitting the gym because you are going to need it. Don’t even try to request a new floor. You will be told it’s a full house and there is nothing available. Also due to the historic nature of this building. You CANNOT flush any tissue in their toilets. If you do, you will be charged!!!! My overall review is this hotel is located in the heart of Old San Juan which means everything is within arms reach, however be aware of the above mentioned inconveniences if you are considering this location.

Enjoyed the stay at the El Colonial. Drink bar was a pleasant surprise. Staff was friendly and responsive. A/C for the rooms was superb. Lack of an elevator was a downside to the stay as we had to climb up and down 4 floors.
