Staff was amazing. Rooftop had a great view. We were on the 4th floor so kinda rough but they staff helped with out luggage. Free drinks definitely didnt hurt. I would recommend for sure
Security was safe. Lobby area is very nice and modern. Friendly staff. Gave us a beverage from the bar while we waited for our room. Our room was on the third floor. No elevator. And no help with luggage. They held our luggage after checking out behind the open front desk. No storage closet.
El Colonial was wonderful! I gave them 5 stars regardless of the water situation I experienced during my stay. I loved the open bar, my room and its view!! The staff was friendly! I'll definitely stay again!!
Charming place, very clean but beware there’s no elevator if you’re traveling with heavy luggage or have knee problems, also some of the the workers are not the nicest, I was left talking to myself a couple of times.
My stay at El Colonial was better than expected. I needed a single night’s stay and my expectations were exceeded. The hotel is beautiful the amenities were amazing and I would most definitely stay here once again with more time.

Disliked: Amenities
Open bar was helpful, staff was friendly, and location was good. Bathroom shower was dirty, and especially the shower floor (mold on floor, I showered with flip flops). Water pressure was very low so it took twice as long to shower.
Loved everything about El Colonial! Even though there was a water break in the island, the staff really went above and beyond to care for all the guests.
Overall we enjoyed our stay. The location is great for Old San Juan and the staff was friendly and helpful. There are no elevators but we did not mind. The open bar was great as well.
The hotel was clean in good location and friendly staff. The open bar is excellent.
The only issue we have is the instability of water pressure depending on the time of the day.
There was a day and half that there was no water at all that we have to buy gallons of water from the stores to bath and flush toilets. We were told it is problem with city water that they have no control over. Nevertheless it makes our stay thoses days to be very uncomfortable.
