The staff is amazing. The housekeeping was on top of it. Remember this hotel was built 99 years ago. It has that old hotel charm. Some things need to be overlooked to enjoy it. The pool is amazing. The breakfast was great. The restaurant by the pool was not so good. I had a club sandwich. Not the best be it is only one meal in my life.

I have to say, this hotel is a GEM, from arrival to leaving. The hotel staff is courteous and always helpful. The rooms are clean, the pool is great and the bar is a lot of fun. People always say....did you feel safe, and yes I did, Colombia is a beautiful country

Mosquitoes in room, and because I accidentally reserved for 3 people instead of 4, they wanted to charge me for another room. My wife had to stay apart from us at her family’s house.

Hotel El Prado is the best! You are crazy to stay anywhere else in Barranquilla! I travel all the time. I know what I am talking about. Classy, historic, great food, awesome beds and pillows and bedding. Go stay for 2 nights. It is the best mini vacation you can have and super affordable. The only complaint is that the food and drink service at the pool can be very slow.
