Con historia
Pros:

El entorno, es un hotel con historia y patrimonio de Barranquilla.

Cons:

Deben remodelar los baños, ya es hora que las tinas sean unas duchas cómodas y modernas.
Las tinas muy descuidadas y manchadas y la presión del agua muy baja Y los inodoros muy viejos. Y el mesón del baño que puede mejorarse con estilo.

The classic hotel to stay at in Barranquilla, great style and character, good value!
Pros:

The Hotel El Prado was the first truly modern hotel to be built in Barranquilla and dates to the 1930s. It is an historic property, which is part of its charm and elegance, so it has wonderful style and character. Bear in mind that the amenities and ambience date to this time period of classic hotels. The property is also place to hold weddings, parties and events so most weekends there will be music. The pool is also great as it is a half sized olympic pool (25 meters). Breakfast buffet is delicious

Cons:

The property could use some newer chairs and tables in the breakfast area to go with the beautiful architecture, though it is understandable they've kept some of the vintage look.

Amazingly restored colonial grand hotel at a bargain price
Pros:

Magnificent colonial era grand hotel, well maintained and restored. Huge pool. Quiet. Clean. Very good price.

Cons:

Little English spoken. Oriented to domestic market so facilities are not those of an international grand hotel ( noisy bar, only dining is a very casual pizza place; need to “sign out “ pool towels; spa is not visually appealing) Room clean and quiet but very basic. Would stay again and encourage those open to a more local experience to give it a try.
