The hotel is beautiful, beach is small but private. I wouldn’t go back just because it’s cashless. Didn’t buy anything in the hotel. Spent my money outside paying cash. Manny by the beach was very pleasant and same with the housekeeping, thank you! I found majority of the staff (females in particular) have no smiles and no customer service.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ EXCELLENT SÉJOUR ! Un Emplacement Idéal et un Service Exceptionnel ! Séjour : Novembre 2025 (3 au 5 novembre) Je viens de passer un séjour absolument parfait de trois jours au British Colonial et je le recommande sans aucune hésitation ! Emplacement de Rêve (5/5) : L'hôtel bénéficie d'une situation géographique exceptionnelle. Il est parfaitement situé à proximité des docks et à quelques pas seulement du centre-ville de Nassau. C'est l'idéal pour explorer ! Service Impeccable (5/5) : Le personnel est remarquable. Le service est excellent et l'équipe est professionnelle, attentive et très chaleureuse. Propreté et Beauté (5/5) : L'hôtel est très beau et, surtout, très propre. La belle plage privée est un véritable atout pour se détendre. Cuisine Délicieuse (5/5) : La nourriture était excellente ! Une vraie satisfaction culinaire. Si vous cherchez un hôtel alliant commodité, confort et qualité aux Bahamas, le British Colonial est le choix par excellence.

British Colonial was a really great place to stay. The staff and amenities were wonderful and the tavern in the hotel was also a great spot for food and cocktails - a must try is the conch fritters. The room was always cleaned well and the tea / coffee / water was always replaced when required. The property has its own private beach and pool area which are perfect for a quite day relaxing watching the cruise ships come in and out of the port. Overall, a wonderful stay but I likely wouldn't go back again at this time of year - a lot of places were closed early and the shopping and dining options were limited due to this.

Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort

We did not receive our inclusive breakfast, the bed was hard as a rock, there was mold in the shower and pubic hair inside, the iron had wet and dry rust coming out of it. The secondary pillows were stained and dirty and smelled like dirty musty feet. All but 2 staff members were not happy at all. They were rude and couldn't crack a smile or a welcome. The check in was horrible. No information given other than here is your wristband. No instructions nothing. We were told all we had to pay at check in was our balance of just over $100. Try $580. The private beach at the shore up to the sand was filled with trash. They do not rake it daily or at all. I literally was bringing piles of trash daily on to the hotel back steps for pick up. And the staff didn't come to the beach to take orders as expected. The bartender outside was rude. Theo a new staff was the only one at the beach pool area that cared.

Rust dirt and water stains from the iron

Clean room. Great amazing beach it was private and not a lot of people. The restaurant was a bit slow service but the food was still really good. If you are female and traveling alone or with only other females please be careful at night walking as it didn’t seem too safe for us. The guys at the valet were very sweet too. I would definitely stay here again! :)

Staff was pleasant, but restaurant staff was unattentive, considering the cost of everything here. Two breakfast sandwiches and 2 coffees were $56. Lunch for two was usually $150. Dinner was a minimum of $180 with two drinks. This place is beautiful, and historic old Nassau, but right next to the cruise terminals, so you get 3-4 ships coming in every morning, and the tourists roll in. When they leave, the shops all close. For the less then stellar location, the prices should be way more reasonable.
