The British Colonial is a historic hotel in Downtown Nassau, it is spacious, wifh a friendly staff, updated rooms, and a great private beach and conveniently in the heart of downtown Nassau. It is close to paradise island, the must not miss fish fry, and about 15 minutes to Baha Mar and jaws beach. I cannot wait to go back.

The property is great but the area surrounding the property shuts down once cruise ships leave port which gives the impression they cater to the ship clientele needs.

Staff were professional, house keeping was great, beautiful place. Minor things: Shower had very weak pressure and would take a long time to become hot. Hold for the hotel was charged to my card even though they said it wouldn't be, still waiting on it to be returned which can take up to 14 days.

In general we had a nice stay. The hotel itself is beautiful and in an ideal location for tourists that want to explore downtown Nassau. The pool area and private beach were the highlight, and the staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. However there were a few details that could use improving for the price. The gym is small, our bed was a lot firmer than expected, and all the food sold at the hotel is pretty expensive. It’s also tough finding dinner outside the hotel because many of the nearby restaurants close when the cruise ships leave around 5 or 6 PM.
