Hotel El Prado

This iconic hotel has been talked about by my family for over 70 years as they previously lived around the corner and this was the main place they socialised. We visited Colombia from England and added 3 nights to our trip so we could visit Barranquilla to stay at the El Prado Hotel. It has a charming elegance from the moment you arrive. The hotel is like a seaside resort hotel in the middle of a big city. Despite the age of the hotel it is kept incredibly clean and well maintained. The staff were all friendly and very helpful. I loved the old photos inside the lifts. The breakfast had a good selection to choose from and the food was very tasty. Food at the pool bar was a good quality and well presented. The swimming pool looked so inviting so we went for a dip. The temperature was good and pleasant to be in (I hate cold pools). We would definitely visit again if we return to Colombia.

The pool and pool bar/restaurant were great. The breakfast was wonderful. Room was very good. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. We had this waiter at the breakfast that went beyond with his service, He suggest special orders. My husband had a soar throat and he made a tea with ginger and honey for him. Always followed up with anything we wanted. All the staff were great. I would definitely love to go back!

The premises are well-maintained, the pool is stunning and the breakfast very good. We also loved the employees who were very nice and helpful, offering great service.

Breakfast super, beds very comfortable, pool was refreshing and fun.

Great pool, great location, great breakfast, prob the best hotel in BAQ.
