Nice location, clean and comfortable room. Air condition was strong but could not be controlled. No elevator - not as convenient if you’re on 4th floor.

Staff was great. Top floor, 4th floor was a little inconvenient. I would still do it again for the value and friendliness.

Just to set expectations: this is an *old* building. The rooms are tiny, the floors and walls are "rustic", the stairs are plentiful, and the sound insulation is minimal. BUT...if you value customer service, genuine interactions with staff, and a unique travel experience, El Colonial is *unparalleled* in Old San Juan. In the 3 days we stayed there prior to our cruise, we spent several hours getting to know Luis and the rest of the staff, learning about Puerto Rican history, current events and culture, and genuinely connecting with all of them. The open bar was a great place to meet and socialize with fellow travelers and staff, and the lobby was a really comfortable place to hang out after a long day of sightseeing. Being greeted with a cold towel and a bevvie was a real treat. Also, the location is *outstanding* for anyone looking to explore the area on foot...close to literally *everything*, including the cruise port. As my wife said, it isn't often you feel compelled to include a handshake and a hug during your checkout! A truly unique experience, and we will gladly forego some creature comforts to stay at El Colonial every single time we travel to OSJ!

Floors seemed like they haven’t been mopped since “colonial times” we walked with flip flops while in the room. The shower, well we stayed far away from the black mold and the shower curtain. The shower head had no water pressure what so ever. It was disappointing to say the least. There was a ceiling leak in from of our room. Daily house cleaning room service was done via what’s up requests because rooms have no phones / access to front desk. With that there was a day I requested room cleaning and it was missed so we begged for clean towels, we got them but inconvenience. The floors, dirty!!!!
