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!

Walkable to all Entretainment bars, theater, National Park Morro and to exercise
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.
Great location and staff was wonderful! Felix handled a rush of people's checking in and checking out with calmness and professionalism and efficiency.

Very disappointed
I booked through hotel.com
Found out that other guest that booked threw expendanc paid 95-150 per night and did not have addional hotel fee
Hotel had me sign a charge fee of 25.00 dollars if i washed my face and make up got on towel
Worst was that you could not flush towel paper down toilet needed to discharge dirty towel paper in trash pail
That was a 45.00 dollar fine is you flushed toilet paper!

Great location and love the welcome drink and open bar for guests. Very historic (aka old) building but worth the value. Got a deal at $48/nt. Staff are friendly.

Water on the floor of the room kept reaccumulating creating risky conditions.
Worse mattress. License should be revoked
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
