On my arrival, my room was in the 5th floor on the south building (where most of the rooms are). Windows were locked, they couldn't be opened, and the smell of the furniture (desk and table) was terrible, like old wood. And that first night, I found one medium size cockroach in the bath and another in the room! I... More

This hotel is designed by the same guy who did Hotel Nacional in Havana. Big airy rooms and open hallways, big pool at the center and lots of places to stay out of the sun and have a drink. The difference is that in Baranquilla at El Prado the staff is really good. Attentive service and constant upkeep keep this... More

This is a classic architectural gem and sets the scene beautifully for warm Latin American hospitality delivered professionally by great staff. Swimming in that huge, beautiful swimming pool while seeing and hearing the breeze in the very tall palm trees and colorful tropical birds was priceless. Breakfast was included with our rooms, and I wasn't sure whether we would also... More

Although certain modern amenities are missing, this is a classic hotel, complete with wonderful floors and elevators characteristic of old world charm.

The hotel was nice. The pool experience is very good. It is very nice for adults as it has a 9 ft end where you can actually swim, where as many US resorts do not have a deep end anymore. The rooms were nice but a little old. The staff is friendly and very attentive. I look forward to my... More

This hotel is considered a national landmark and it's easy to see why. When you walk past the lobby and into the courtyard you will be transported to another era-- not sure what the design would be called but the pool and courtyard area reminds you of sitting around a top end hotel in Miami Beach surrounded by palm trees...

I loved our stay in this place. This hotel is many years old and still keeps all the original. The pool is the same original pool of 80 year ago, beautiful! The building shows the years but its a unique beauty that most hotels do not have. We had a very comfortable suite, with a good size leaving room, and... More

I got this hotel for $100 a night through Expedia. It included a great buffet breakfast. I stayed in the hotel with my girlfriend who lived in Barraquilla, Colombia for 8days.. It was a suite-all I can say is good about this stay. The hotel help was great. I left a tip each day for the maid and she would... More

The hotel keeps its old charm although the bathrooms were "modernized" and look terrible. The bellboys and the waiters are wonderful. If you want to talk to the manager, you will be given the all-around. The manager claimed to be very busy to see me. I wanted to offer a Gardel photograph taken in Colombia in 1935. So if you... More
