Very friendly and helpful staff. Made me comfortable as soon as I arrived (so nice after hectic traveling). Great location. Inclusive drinks was a nice touch (and very convenient in the morning when I wanted tea or a Diet Coke).

Friendly service and the free bar was a bonus !
Very small rooms. Due to the amount of rain it was very damp. Not as clean as I am used to.

I absolutely loved staying here, the open bar is definitely a bonus. Everyone was very attentive and kudos to Cristian, he is very personable and friendly, my husband and I enjoyed our evening talks with him @ the bar, he definitely made my stay a lot more pleasant.
The location was also great, you can walk to any restaurants, bars, stores etc. You really do not need a car.
The bathroom was very small so that did not meet my expectations.

The staff and cleanliness
10.0
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Free, open bar was wonderful for quick small pick-me-up drinks after hot time in the sun. The location was perfect for walking all of Old San Juan. We picked up a rental car for a visit to Rincon, after our stay in Old SJ. That was the right decision. It was a quick Uber from airport to hotel then to the car rental.

After traveling for 8 hours, being greeted by drinks was a very pleasant surprise. Especially because they are complimentary!!! Staff went above and beyond for us to accommodate all of our request (Giancarlo, Adriel, Cristian, Hector). The view from the rooftop is amazing. The rooms are cozy and very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay here far more than the Fairmont El San Juan, by far better service better rooms, easy access to Old San Juan and the bakery on the corner takes the win. We will definitely be returning to El Colonial and recommend to others.
Honestly nothing, it exceeded our expectations.

The open bar is great. Staff is very attentive and nice. They are always ready to refill your drinks if you want. Awesome location for old San Juan.
Stairs…
10.0
Rating based on now the property was described, not what I hoped it would be. Yes, stairs were involved as expected - 4th floor. Staff was great and carried luggage up and down. Arrival reception was great. Staff very, very helpful. Welcome cocktails to start. Staff very attentive, and offering free water, sodas or drinks anytime we passed through lobby. Location is great! Temporary check-in parking near entrance was very helpful. Discounted parking at nearby (3 blocks) was appreciated - discounted heavily for hotel guests. Bathroom was clean and functional. Had warm water in shower at various times throughout the day, and great water pressure.
Would stay here again. However, did lose water pressure (no pressure) for the 4th floor due to hotel pump issue. Hotel was very accommodating during the outage and allowed us to shower in an unoccupied room on a lower floor where there was water. Water was restored overnight and resumed normally the next morning. While inconvenient, the staff did all they could to minimize the discomfort. While everything didn't go perfectly, the pluses more than made up for the annoyances. While the drinks are free for guests, the selection is a bit limited. However, free is a nice bonus.

Staff is exceptional! Free bar
No elevator. I realize that this building is over 150 years old, and shabby chic is popular. It's a completely different vibe than the new downtown, but I prefer the area. Shower was a bit of a disappointment, very low pressure, and my wife took a shower in the evening, and there was no hot water left.
All in all, a great stay, but make sure you are up for the "boutique" experience
Would stay again

El Colonial is simply the best experience anyone could ask for en Old San Juan! the staff and amenities are amazing, specially the 24/7 complimentary bar and customer service. The building is very well cared for and, while very charming and restored, has a modern lifestyle feel.

Excellent location. Wonderful, welcoming staff - made up screw drivers for us while a colleague brought bags upstairs. Nice roof top area. One block from meeting place for excellent, pay what you can San Juan Tour. Lots of restaurants, bakery and supermarket nearby.
Not a fan of the artwork in the room. Some noise from street.
