I had an amazing stay at this hotel! From the moment I arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive. The room was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The amenities were excellent, and the location was perfect—close to everything while still being peaceful and quiet.

The service truly stood out. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, cleanliness, and exceptional hospitality. I will definitely be staying here again!

I was born in Barranquilla, Colombia and lived in the states for 35 years. Visiting family I decided to stay at the hotel. I had. Such a great time. Everyone from the security person, housekeeper and management were so awesome. Friendly and service was amazing. I would definitely recommend el Prado hotel.

This hotel is a rare pearl. It is a historical modern victorian huge building. The entrance is just majestic. You will find a security guard at the entrance that helps you with anything you need, taxis etc. A beautiful lounge and a coffee store. You also have a convenient store for snacks self service very modern. There’s a line of several stores in the basement, a currency change store, a souvenir shop, a pizza restaurant that is on the side of the store and it has a private entrance for the hotel guests and another separate for all people that come from outside the hotel, families go to watch the game and eat a very delicious pizza in a lucky ambiance, right next to the garden and kids park all inside the fence of the hotel. The pool was huge with a water fall, two lifeguards because one side of the pool is 3 meters deep, so if you can swim hou have peace around you. Right next to the pool you will find a restaurant bar, many helpful and very professional staff and delicious food and drinks. Rooms are spacious and were extremely clean and well put with free water and coffee. Their included brakefats was not only very good vut the dinning room was a fairytale of architecture. We went to the Malecon (water boardwalk) to see the festivals, food courts and restaurants, the Shakira statue, the Sofia Vergara statue, the window to the world monument and the soccer team monument. Amazing 3 days and 2 nights. I recommend this hotel for families or solos.

This place was so relaxing. Everyone is friendly and there is an overall warmth to the place. I hope to return within the year. I have zero complaints. There are some type of eagles that scream in the morning and at dusk, which is sooo cool. The place is spotless and offers everything needed onsite.

This was my first trip to Columbia, and beyond the hotel, the entire city was so inviting and the people are incredibly friendly. It felt very same and I could pay everywhere without having to be worried about paying a special tourist price, like when I'm in another country (directly south of the US). I would give the hotel and the city an absolute 5 star review!

I really enjoy staying at El Prado in Barranquilla, the courtyard pool and bar are great. I also enjoy the breakfast and the location in the north part of the city. Many restaurants nearby... I just wish they would maintain some of the rooms better. Cracking paint on my bathroom door and chipped tiles need to be taken care of! It's not an inexpensive room and guests deserve better!

We loved this historic place.
The only thing we did not like was the way the waiters rushed us to pay the bill even when we didn't finish eating. We tried the restaurant 3 times at different times and they rushed us to pay, even they brought the wrong plate and when I said I didn't order that, they guy made a face and walked away! after all the argue we had he brought the receipt the plate still there! even when I said remove it and bring another receipt, he said he can't! instead, he brought me cash to pay that plate and I said no! I need the receipt for what we ate.
We had to call the manager and he done a new receipt in 2 mins. All that show to keep the % for tips. So, the only thing we didn't like at all were the waiters at the restaurant by the pool

Overall, the hotel had some positives, but there were definitely areas that need improvement. The room was comfortable and clean, although a bit outdated compared to what I expected. The amenities were nice, and the staff throughout the hotel was friendly and welcoming.

Unfortunately, the pool area service was extremely disappointing. The system of assigning one specific server to each guest/table created long delays and made the experience frustrating. We waited over 30 minutes just to place an order for room service/poolside food, and everything was very overpriced for the level of service provided. The concept they use for ordering simply doesn’t work efficiently during busy hours.

The hotel has potential because the atmosphere and staff are pleasant, but the service experience around the pool definitely took away from the stay.

Breakfast is pleasing for every appetite, whether you want the Colombian treats, eggs your way, fruits or a combination of everything.

Everything was great except the restaurant. I ordered a hamburger medium-well and it came to me raw except a thin crust. I sent the hamburger back and said I wanted to order something else as raw hamburger is not safe. The hotel refused and insisted medium-well means red in the middle. The restaurant manager was rude so I complained to the front desk manager, who said he would handle it. I never did receive my money back.

This is a beautiful colonial hotel! Stayed 2 nights and enjoyed my stay. Beautiful grounds and atmosphere! Comfortable bed and the A/C worked very well, important on the Colombian coast! The staff are excellent and you are always greeted with a smile. The breakfast too was superb with a wide variety. There is also good safe parking. The only thing I would say is that the hotel is almost 100 years old and could use some love in a few areas. The shower had some chipped tiles on the floor and the pool is great but again had missing tiles on the pool floor. However I will certainly return to Barranquilla and stay at El Prado again! Thanks for a nice stay!

For a hotel that trades on its legacy, I expected something closer to timeless — not tired.

The first surprise was being charged local taxes because my American passport apparently wasn’t sufficient proof of living abroad. That conversation alone set the tone. I’m still waiting to hear back from the manager who promised to “review” the issue.

The room was… fine. Not offensive, just uninspired — sparse furniture, little character, and none of the polish you’d expect at this price point. Service felt reactive rather than attentive. And the poolside food? Cold, forgettable, and wildly out of sync with the hotel’s self-image.

My overall impression is that this place peaked about 20 years ago and is now relying on cosmetic updates to preserve the illusion. Unfortunately, hospitality isn’t about makeup — it’s about execution. And execution was lacking.

I’ll be back for Carnaval in 2027. Just not here.

However, I would like to bring to concern we encountered during our visit. We had requested room service to bring ice to our room, but unfortunately, it never arrived. While we understand that oversights can happen, it was a bit disappointing, especially since the staff had come to our room shortly before to secure our signature for a consumption at the bar.
