This place has no elevators!!! If you are in floor 4, I hope you have been hitting the gym because you are going to need it. Don’t even try to request a new floor. You will be told it’s a full house and there is nothing available. Also due to the historic nature of this building. You CANNOT flush any tissue in their toilets. If you do, you will be charged!!!! My overall review is this hotel is located in the heart of Old San Juan which means everything is within arms reach, however be aware of the above mentioned inconveniences if you are considering this location.

Enjoyed the stay at the El Colonial. Drink bar was a pleasant surprise. Staff was friendly and responsive. A/C for the rooms was superb. Lack of an elevator was a downside to the stay as we had to climb up and down 4 floors.

Just believe the hotel explanation when it says “no elevator”, it is true. Not suitable for people who have issues with walking up and down stairs.

It’s got that vintage charm a lot of us look for, but you can find that and have a way better experience—especially if you’re traveling solo for work. The place itself is pretty great, but it’s clear the staff is overwhelmed with the recent spike in tourism. If you’re looking for a spot where you can just exist and get some work done (without worrying about being kicked out by the manager), I’d recommend heading to the west side of the island instead.

Beautiful and quaint hotel in an excellent location. Close to attractions and restaurants and a short ride from the airport. Small but clean room with basic amenities. Staff was friendly and helpful. Nice rooftop and the open bar was a gem. Pros: Great location, amazing staff, open bar. Cons: Small bathrooms, no elevator, no pool. I would recommended this hotel for its location and wonderful staff.
