Hotel El Colonial in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, is a hidden gem that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel like family—so incredibly friendly and attentive, always going above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Old San Juan. You're just steps away from charming streets, delicious restaurants, and lively bars, making it easy to explore everything the area has to offer. One of the highlights is their 24/7 open bar service—whether you’re in the mood for a cocktail after a day of sightseeing or want to relax with a drink in hand at any hour, it’s a game changer. The atmosphere is cozy, yet vibrant, and the entire hotel has a warm, welcoming vibe. If you're looking for a place with both character and convenience, Hotel El Colonial is the perfect spot to stay in San Juan.

Great little escape in Old San Juan w open free bar! Extremely friendly and accommodating staff! Easy walking distance to food shopping and municipal inexpensive parking. This is my second time there. They must have noted and gave me a free bottle of wine for the room. Great terrace view.Safe area.

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.
