Amazing location...very nice to have a 24 hour front desk... the open bar, my husband enjoyed it very much..., fantastic staff...lobby and bar area was fun to meet fellow travelers....and these are all amazing features of this great property. Our room was 408 and had a private balcony with tub and shower outside, how cool! We loved it! Beware however, 75 stairs to get to the room and outside porch lights won't turn off at night. Mute point for the solitude and romance. Highly recommend. Thank you to the staff for helping make our stay wonderful.

Clean hotel in walkable neighborhood. The staff was always polite and helpful. The rooms are clean, but small. The neighborhood is very busy and noise was sometimes an issue at night. The 24 hr. free bar in the lobby, and the rooftop terrace were nice amenities. Note there is no elevator in the building. The bathroom was clean, but small and the shower often had no hot water.

This hotel is ideal to feel like you escape without leaving Old San Juan. As Puerto Ricans we have visited the Old San Juan many times and the Colonial gave us that extra space to enjoy the buzz of Old San Juan (very walkable) but at the same time have a quite place to decompress at the end! The staff handled everything amazingly!

Historical building with an IKEA vibe. Comfortable lobby with a restroom for guests and a bar serving complimentary beverages. Friendly staff. Stairs to guest rooms. Old plumbing that cannot take toilet paper.

Oh this place was fantastic! The included drinks and location are definitely the two best factors. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. The Ubers were easily accessible. I mean, no negatives. I loved the area! Will return.

Great property! Understandable that there is no elevator as it’s an older building. Tentative staff, love the open bar, beautiful views from the rooftop and a great deal for the location.
