Hotel el Prado

I've always wanted to stay here. I've heard so many great stories throughout my childhood. I finally got the opportunity this year to stay here, and it was enchanting. It has such an old Hollywood flair to it, and that's the beauty of it. It's like you traveled back in times to the 40s & 50s. The service was amazing. Everyone was super kind and accommodating. Can't wait to go back again.

Very nice hotel, the food at the restaurant was also very good. The customer service is excellent. Definitely, it is very recommended 👌

I had the honor of a full tour of this wonderful Hotel I won’t repeat the glorious history and how this dedicated team are restoring this once glamorous palace into an outstanding Hotel. First the appearance brings you to a time of elegance and beauty the solid concrete walls are the bones of the gigantic complex. I travel around the world in the construction industry and I will make this my primary destination in Barranquilla. The rooms are large and well appointed the food and bars have delicious food and I saw the kitchen so I know it’s up to the highest standards. There are too many rooms to count and the central pool is where 1920 movies come alive. The renovations are being done with great care so your stay should be wonderful. I can’t wait to go back and sip mojitos poolside. Ps I was not coached to make this review I just want people to experience old world charm at bargain prices.

Absolutely love this hotel. Nice pool, good service. Nice grounds. Breakfast could use a little work. Me and my girlfriend spent a lot of time here.

Great secure place to stay. Friendly staff, good food, nice pool and the rooms are large

I been staying at Hotel El prado for over a week.
The entire staff is always friendly and attentive for all your needs.
They are always willing to help and always with a smile.
The pool is incredible also next to the bar.
Breakfast is also recommended

Nice pool and friendly staff. Fully enjoyed my stay. Always great music playing.

Wonderful experience! Great food, amazing drinks, beautiful hotel! Everyone was just great. They had airport pickup service available which made our arrival stress free

Excellent location, nicest staff, incredible cleaning standards and comfiest bed possible. Only thing I'd recommend improving is the restaurant menu, which doesn't have a single vegan option (they've however prepared a delicious pasta with vegetables). Still, a hotel of this magnitude should really offer a healthy, vegan and vegetarian menu.

Amazing hotel and staff. The only downside was that they changed the cooks and now the Prado Burger is awful. It used to be the BEST burger ever made, now it tastes like and old McDonald's burger.

Gorgeous hotel. Very old fashioned, but very classy. The inside of the hotel it’s beautiful, the rooms are comfortable as well as the bed. The pools was beautiful and clean. The breakfast was fabulous and the service was amazing!! I would definitely would recommend this place to anyone that wants something classy and cute.

One of the most traditional hotels in town and a must see!

I went there for an event and stayed there for 3 days. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. There is wifi, functional channels, and room service. There are meeting rooms and spa. The food is good and so are the drinks.

Good service, good location and very good rooms. Definitely worth it.

Great place I will keep coming back here

This pristine hotel in the heart of Barranquilla is absolute perfection.

The warmth and hospitality of the staff, particularly
Freddie the pool waiter and Manuel the F&B manager, both made our stay unforgettable, relaxingandfun.

I highly recommend this excellent hotel.

Excellent staff! Secure, and ready to serve 24/7

Expect to be greeted by a friendly concierge and assisted to a little paradise.

The restaurants are good, and surround a palm filled courtyard with pool area.

Rooms are neat at this historical property, and grounds are constantly attended to.

Front desk staff is knowledgeable about the area, and there’s always a nice taxi waiting to take you anywhere for local rates, no up charge.

Don’t worry about taking cash to the pool if you want a cocktail, or a meal, just charge it to your room.

There’s a lot to this property I have yet to discover, and you’ll enjoy a professional, family, or romantic vacation here.

The best service, food, and hospitality ever. I highly recommend it to everyone. My family thoroughly enjoyed it. We will definitely return!

I took a chance on this as I don't usually stay in resorts, but the old school style vibe and architecture caught my attention and I booked a night just to give it a spin and ended up extending my stay for another 2 days. I got the crispiest BAQ tan laying around their pool area with top 40 remix or latin music played in the background. Rooms were big and had all the things I needed for a good rest. The gym had a squat rack (which is rare in hotels) and some dumbbells so I could get a full body work out in. Service was cordial and everyone was friendly. Only little knock was it was a little out in a area that didn't have many restaurants near by like my favorite area, Alto Prado. Also I think I was the only single guy in the whole place during my stay, but if I'm around BAQ again, I would dip it to recharge.
