The staff is amazing. The housekeeping was on top of it. Remember this hotel was built 99 years ago. It has that old hotel charm. Some things need to be overlooked to enjoy it. The pool is amazing. The breakfast was great. The restaurant by the pool was not so good. I had a club sandwich. Not the best be it is only one meal in my life.

Hotel El Prado is the best! You are crazy to stay anywhere else in Barranquilla! I travel all the time. I know what I am talking about. Classy, historic, great food, awesome beds and pillows and bedding. Go stay for 2 nights. It is the best mini vacation you can have and super affordable. The only complaint is that the food and drink service at the pool can be very slow.
