“Barranquilla's Best Hotel”

The Hotel Prado is a very old classy hotel. It is not new and shiny. That is what I like about it. I have traveled a lot in my life time and stayed at many old hotels in Europe but I like this hotel the best. Great hallways to walk through-very good service-I just enjoy the whole experience with this hotel.

“"can't wait to go back and I am in March"”

Great hotel-classy-comfortable-very friendly. Wonderful people in Colombia. Beautiful women.

“Great visit - the pool is amazing!”

A great, old, classic hotel. We had a suite sized room, which was great. The grounds, and particularly the pool area, are worth the price of admission...

“Beautiful Hotel from 1927”

For travelers who like beautiful architecture, this is the hotel for you although the bathrooms were messed up by modernizing them and the furniture is new (ugh). The service is excellent, the restaurants are excellent, the waiters and bellboys go out of their way to serve you. Although there are no photographs of Carlos Gardel (he stayed at the hotel on June 4, 1935), I recommend it very highly. He is the reason I chose this hotel and was very disappointed not to see any photographs displayed around the hotel. If you need to speak to a general manager, do not go to this hotel. I was given the run-around and left the hotel without being granted a meeting. How could this happen? Very bad customer relations. You will be charged some kind of insurance, every day, although you will find out about this when you check out. Surprise! Also, the best - us smokers can choose a smoking room too! Will definitely go back to Barranquilla and to this hotel although the heat is monstrous (but the rooms are air conditioned so do not panic).

“Very satisfied”

El Prado hotel definitely has classic old school charm. The staff was wonderful and the food was delicious. Reminded me of my grandmother's homecooking. My mother and I stayed for 5 nights and got very familiar with the surrounding neighborhood. There's a supermarket, bank, and places to shop for souvenirs within walking distance. I would highly recommend this hotel to those that enjoy a place with lots of character rather than a place that is sleek and modern.

“Charming old hotel”

Definitely worth the extra pesos to stay somewhere nice after a long weekend in the hinterlands. Restaurant was decent -- food portions were ridiculously huge. The pool was quite spectacular but closed at 8p.m. before we could swim. Room was spacious, but slightly outdated. Staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Would stay there again.

“Second time I have stayed.”

I really like this hotel. This is the second time I have stayed there with my girlfriend. I was there for a week at Christmas and a week a in mid March. Beautiful old classic hotel. Great place-nice room-I enjoyed our stay greatly. I would go back for sure.

“barranquilla hotel”

This is a hotel which recently was back in business, or sort of. From a take over from the govt. Anyway service is ok. Not always very attentive. Staff at the end did not even thank me for my stay. Or how it was. There are other hotels in Barranquila that are better. I stay here because it is an old fashion historic hotel. Also what can I say about Barranquila. It is a Colombian party town at it heart.
