We had a lovely stay at El Colonial! The staff were so friendly and attentive - they could not have been nicer! Our room was also comfortable and clean, with great A/C. We had a room on the 4th floor that didn't face the street, (windows opened onto an interior courtyard), so it was also very quiet (apparently, some of the rooms facing the main street can be a bit louder on night). Our room was a little small, with fairly bare-bone features, but that is to be expected at a historic hotel - it overall had everything we needed to have a comfortable night's sleep and "home base' during our 3 days in the city. The open bar in the lobby was a huge plus, as was the gorgeous rooftop deck! The hotel is located right in the heart of Old San Juan, easy walking distance to all major sites in the historic district. Overall, highly recommend this lovely hotel, and we would definitely stay again! FYI - as mentioned on their website, there is no elevator, so probably not the best option for guests with mobility impairments. But the hotel staff will happily move your luggage.
