I had a very comfortable and relaxing stay at the El Colonial in Old San Juan for the Thanksgiving holiday. Firstly, upon entry, the staff is doting and guests are greeted with a complimentary cocktail. In fact, the bar is open 24 hours with beer, wine and water. Water includes Perrier sparkling water that is nicely chilled. Drip coffee is also available at all times. Up arrival, I was also checked in and given a little briefing on the workings of the hotel. The walkā€™up is not a problem, and the character and charm of the hotel are reflected in the interior architecture, with classic tile and ornate ironwork on the handrails. The rooftop is nicely appointed with chaise lounges and some bathtub-shower setā€™ups. I was up there every morning, and only saw another guest once. While the hotel was fullyā€™booked, it was generally quiet. There was a very nice set of guests when I was there. The location is convenient to all of the major attractions, and for a walker Condado Beach is about a 45 minute walk. Escambron is also about 20 minutes away. Definitely do not rent a car because it is totally unnecessary. Plenty of shopping for both clothes and necessaries at local convenience stores. There is also excellent dining, including Marmalade around the corner. The staff is very helpful in suggesting local places to eat and shop. I will go back!

Dear Expedia, I am writing to express my profound dissatisfaction and frustration with the substandard quality of the room during my stay at El Colonial. While the hotelā€™s location in the heart of Old San Juan was ideal and initially promising based on the photos and reviews shared on both your website and theirs, the room itself fell far short of expectations. The propertyā€™s central location and the added perks, such as complimentary drinks (including spirits, soda, wine, and champagne), were definite highlights. I also appreciated the safety measures in place for entering and exiting the property. However, the condition of the room was deeply disappointing. It lacked basic amenities such as an iron and a microwave, which should be standard for a room at this price point and location. Additionally, the hotel policy charging $25 for any damage to linens felt unreasonable. The roomā€™s design and upkeep also posed challenges. Leaving the window open led to condensation on the floors, making them slippery and uncomfortable to navigate. This forced me to rely on air conditioning at all times, which raised health concerns for me, especially in the days leading up to my cruise. I even had to take daily medication to avoid getting sick. The roomā€™s condition further detracted from my experience. The window gate overlooking Old San Juan was rusted and deteriorated, making it unsafe and unattractive. What should have been a highlightā€”a scenic viewā€”was obstructed and unimpressive.

We had a lovely one night stay before our cruise. Our room was small but adequate for one night. Love the security and location. Very helpful and friendly staff. Loved the open bar that was included and appreciated the bottle of sparkling wine that we received as a VIP member. Great stay!
