The British Colonial was a great place to stay in Nassau. Small but pristine beach, good location for seeing the local attractions and downtown area. Pool area is beautiful. Their staff is wonderful, very accommodating and friendly! Only improvement the hotel could make is more comfortable beds and pillows.

The view from the room included the ocean as well as the cruise liner harbor which was pretty special. That said, overall I was disappointed with the size of the upgraded room and the bathroom was in need of some maintenance. The pool and beach area are average in comparison with other Caribbean resorts. I used the fitness center numerous days and found the temperature to be way to warm and the daily upkeep lacking.

Clean big toom, G reat staff , Kendria st the outside beach restaurant was so professional and accommodating. I loved our stay . My only complaint is the very loud music from the cruise ship area all night on Saturday night . I know it’s not the hotels fault but it was impossible to sleep. I enjoyed the hotel and would recommend it!

The hotel was okay. Not impressed. The TV and phone to contact the front desk never worked. There were no small towels to shower with. Every time we showered the water would leak through and would wet the entire floor. The pool I would say was the best thing from this hotel.

I recently stayed at the British Colonial Nassau. The hotel is located right beside the cruise ship docks, and from the back of the property there is beach access — however, you’ll still see the cruise ships from there. Keep in mind that this area is very busy during the daytime because of the cruises (there were about four docking daily during our stay). At night, though, the area becomes very quiet and most places close early. Breakfast at the hotel is $40 per person, which feels quite expensive. Thankfully, there’s a McDonald's directly across the street (go early because it gets very busy), and Olde Nassau Café nearby offers a great breakfast and coconut rum pound cake for local Bahamian breakfast there Bohemian cooking restaurant definitely a better choice and more authentic option. For dinner, options are limited at night, but Ibichan Restaurant is open until 9:00 PM and offers decent food at reasonable prices. If you book through Expedia or similar third-party websites, be aware of additional costs: there is a resort fee of about $49 USD per day, and parking costs around $35 USD per day. The rooms were decent. The sheets were comfortable, though the mattress was a bit too soft for my liking but for a short stay, it was fine. They use feather pillows, so keep that in mind if you have allergies. The AC worked well, which is important in Nassau. The staff were nice and friendly. Overall, it’s a pretty standard hotel, perfectly fine for a short stay of a few days.
