Fantastic hotel - breakfast is wonderful - but do outside the hotel for lunch or dinner. The food at the hotel restaurants is ordinary at best - very expensive - and the service is poor.

This is a beautiful colonial hotel! Stayed 2 nights and enjoyed my stay. Beautiful grounds and atmosphere! Comfortable bed and the A/C worked very well, important on the Colombian coast! The staff are excellent and you are always greeted with a smile. The breakfast too was superb with a wide variety. There is also good safe parking. The only thing I would say is that the hotel is almost 100 years old and could use some love in a few areas. The shower had some chipped tiles on the floor and the pool is great but again had missing tiles on the pool floor. However I will certainly return to Barranquilla and stay at El Prado again! Thanks for a nice stay!

For a hotel that trades on its legacy, I expected something closer to timeless — not tired. The first surprise was being charged local taxes because my American passport apparently wasn’t sufficient proof of living abroad. That conversation alone set the tone. I’m still waiting to hear back from the manager who promised to “review” the issue. The room was… fine. Not offensive, just uninspired — sparse furniture, little character, and none of the polish you’d expect at this price point. Service felt reactive rather than attentive. And the poolside food? Cold, forgettable, and wildly out of sync with the hotel’s self-image. My overall impression is that this place peaked about 20 years ago and is now relying on cosmetic updates to preserve the illusion. Unfortunately, hospitality isn’t about makeup — it’s about execution. And execution was lacking. I’ll be back for Carnaval in 2027. Just not here.

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.
