Our stay at the hotel was good! The room was clean. We were most impressed with the location—it was incredibly convenient, with restaurants, shops, and attractions all just a short walk away. It made exploring the city so easy and enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again!

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
