Nice place in downtown Nassau

I stayed at the British Colonial on a recent business trip and I have nothing but good things to say about the property. It’s well located and the rooms are comfortable. The gym is decent too. Food is a little on the pricey side, but this being The Bahamas, that’s to be expected.

Property is nice and clean but the rooms are on the small side. The food takes too long. 45 mins for quesadillas is unacceptable so don't order hungry. Otherwise everything else was great.

The hotel was a very good one. The service was excellent all the way around. The hotel was clean, and the staff was attentive. The front desk was very responsive and polite addressing every concern that I needed answers or help with. The hotel grounds were beautiful and well kept. Our room had a shower as well as a tub. The ocean view was spectacular. There were restaurants in the hotel that served good food. I strongly recommend this hotel it is clean, safe and in a very good location around many shops within walking distance.
