After a terrible experience at Hotel Liri, we moved to Hotel Colonial. We stayed upstairs, where the rooms are smaller; however, we feel that it's generally a good move to avoid bugs when you're in Central America. Pros: - Central Location - Wifi - Comfortable Beds - A/C actually works - Great service (they actually fold your clothes for you,... More

El Colonial is our favourite hotel in San Juan del Sur. It's reasonably priced, has totally trustworthy and friendly staff, comfy rooms and a nice garden. They now do free cooked breakfasts too. It's close to the beach and has good secure parking. Can be a little noisy if full so we generally try and stay in the week.

The hotel is centrally located, and this is the only good bit of the hotel. The room was too small, and the bathroom was just ok. The internal garden was nothing that you can really enjoy. Breakfast was basic: egg and gallo pinto (=rice+bean).

Stayed here for 2 nights whilst visiting the surrounding area. Room adequate - only negative was curtains too thin so too much light let in at dawn. Breakfast adequate. Lovely courtyard area with rocking chairs to relax in. Very close to beach & numerous restaurants.

We stayed here for three nights while we explored the surrounding area. The hotel was nearly empty the first night, but we preferred to have the place to ourselves. The courtyard was my favorite. It's a great place to sit outside and winddown for the evening. The included breakfast was adequate but nothing special, however it was comparable to the... More

We needed a hotel room for one night in San Juan Del Sur on our way up north. Hotel Colonial worked out great. Rooms are small and simple but great for the price. The hotel is a block off the beach but very quiet. It has a nice little garden area where we sat and had drinks (we bought our... More

This was a nice stay for 2 days. Breakfast was free, the room was clean but relatively small. Nothing to complain for the price, particularly during the Easter holiday. It was walking distance from the beach and also close to the sort of touristic centre. I would go back for sure. Staff was friendly and helpful.
