El Colonial Open Bar Adults Only

We really enjoyed our stay. Superb staff. Great location. Complimentary lobby bar for guests open 24/7. Nice rooftop area. Some umbrellas on the roof would be nice. We'll definitely stay there again.

We stayed at this property prior to going on a cruise. The property is lovely. Bonus was the complimentary open bar!!! This was a hit! Cristian greeted us with a huge smile and answered our questions. He provided us with restaurant recommendations of where the locals enjoy authentic Puerto Rican food. All places did not disappoint! The food and culture was amazing! He remembered our names though out our stay! Tatiana aka boarding school was amazing behind the bar. She also educated us on local culture and places to check out! We highly recommend staying here! Service was impeccable and very friendly!

This beautiful property is in a great location. A walk to the cruise ship pier, we did it easily in 10 minutes with luggage. On arrival we were offered a welcome drink and our room was upgraded to a corner room with two Juliette balconies on the first floor. It was clean and comfortable with good air-conditioning, great water pressure in the shower, a little fridge (no hair dryer in the room) but I had my own. The bar downstairs is a great feature, a cold beer, champagne or other after a day sightseeing is lovely in a beautiful environment. The staff were friendly and helpful. The negatives and this one is important: there is no lift and you may be on the top floor. The roof needed attention, overflowing bin, needed a sweep. It is beautiful up there but you have to carry drinks/snacks etc up 5 or 6 flights of stairs. The furniture was worn in comparison to the beauty of the rest of the hotel. Finally, it is loud in the old part of San Juan. It didn't bother us but people party hard until the early hours so an inner room opening onto an atrium maybe preferable. We loved the energy of it all but some people would be bothered by the noise.
