The property is beautifully maintained. I love this place. However, I had problems with my bill. I was charged again after i prepaid via expedia. The staff are warm and welcoming. My only other issue is parking and paying a resort fee when the only amenities are a pool and gym. I didn't feel a resort fee was necessary

Beautiful Hotel

I have not had any issues with my stay here at all. It was a beautiful hotel. I also think the price was reasonable. The customer service was good. They gave us more towels when we asked. The hotel is right on the beach and the water is gorgeous! (See pics) The only thing I wish was that the restaurant served Bahamian food too, instead of the regular food I can get in America. My husband and I decided that if we came back to Nassau, and needed a hotel, we could bring the whole family to this hotel.

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.

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.
