My family and I have been staying at the British Colonial Hotel for decades. It has been beautifully renovated and is clean and new. Housekeeping staff gets an A+ for ninja-like reliable, invisible service! The staff were absolutely grade A lovely, as always! My few items for improvement were: A) The mobile room service app never worked. I ordered things and only received them 90 minutes later after several follow-up phone calls. Seating (almost everywhere) is wayyy too low if you’re over 50 or have knee issues (including the room toilet). Some of the room amenities were counter-intuitive like the toilet paper roll behind ur back, the absence of a full-length mirror & the non-shower curtain shower (maybe ok for newlyweds but not for my daughter and I! I did mention disappointments to Manager, Shakara, and she was appreciative of the feedback, absolutely lovely with us and found an agreeable way to make it up to us! Shout outs to Kimberly at Woods & Rodger’s, Nick on the beach and omg the desk agent who I first expressed my concerns to…can’t remember her name but all so lovely! I travel to swim and swim I did, with sea turtles, a small sting ray, barracudas, doctor fish, sergent majors, trumpet fish, tangs, even saw a fire worm right there at the British Colonial Beach! Not to worry though, they don’t bother you unless you obnoxiously bother them! Lastly, a relatively new eatery has been erected on tge pier just off the beach, beside Senor Frogs! Best shrimp tacos EVER!

Really just a hotel that caters for locals and the cruise people. As a guest of the hotel we were treated by some of the staff, especially the outside bar staff as if they did not want to serve us. They would ignore us, finishing their conversations or walking into the kitchen as opposed to serving us. Not all were bad so it is a shame that a few tarred our experience. Won’t go back to this hotel.

We had an excellent time during our stay. Beautiful building and rooms. Staff were very accommodating and friendly. Our toilet did not work in room 704 on our first night, but they were able to relocate us the next morning without issue. Beds are amenities were great! Food in the area is PRICEY! We brought a bunch of snacks and quick bites with us for the kids. The restaurant on the pier was the highlight for us. Sea Turtles, Sting Rays, and a Manatee naturally hanging out in the ocean. Beach was small but met all of our needs and never got too crowded. We actually preferred it to the other more commercial and busy hotels nearby.

Dumpy money grab

The room stunk like mildew. The whole place was tired. Amazingly, the sidewalk going to the back entrance from the pool area had water ponding at the entrance a simple fix, but it was a mess every time you walked in the building. I was there two nights and they charged me $70 to have my car parked there overall disappointing. But to be honest, all of the Nassau is rundown and It’s just a tourist money grab from the cruise ships. I won’t be back.

Very clean and beautiful hotel. Maids cleaned our room everyday. Lots of shopping around hotel so excellent location. Everything closes too early though. I feel they should cater to hotel guest, and not just to people on cruises that leave early. Almost all food establishments close for good at 5:30 or 6:00. Excellent workers though.

The view from our room was amazing! The food was amazing at hotel! Things I didn’t like were a very weird smell in room but nothing too serious to lose sleep over it, another thing I didn’t like was that everything has to be paid by credit card and someone like me hates having things charged to my card, only one restaurant was opened the others were opened the last day we were there, except for the restaurant outside by pool that was always opened but closes at 6pm. Everything outside closes for business at 6pm so make sure you eat dinner out of hotel if you didn’t want to charge it to your card. Shops were close by, the distillery, fish fry, queens staircase is walking distance. The beach was amazing, the pools were amazing. The properties are all connected so you could use pools from hotel Nextdoor
