TV in room had 1 channel and when reported to staff, they made empty promises to fix it. Late check out- when asked, staff said we can request morning of check out however, front desk rudely stated they simply don't do complementary late check out and the fee would be $50US per hour. Misguided information. Also, info on website is incorrect. Happy hour was suppose to be 4pm-6pm but when you arrive it's only applicable on Friday. Bed was decent, hotel was clean and beautiful. Nicely kept grounds. Barista was pleasant, pool/beach staff were nice. Beach and water was clean. Not a lot of eating options for dinner- especially since everything closed when the cruisers lefts.

The hotel is beautiful, beach is small but private. I wouldn’t go back just because it’s cashless. Didn’t buy anything in the hotel. Spent my money outside paying cash. Manny by the beach was very pleasant and same with the housekeeping, thank you! I found majority of the staff (females in particular) have no smiles and no customer service.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ EXCELLENT SÉJOUR ! Un Emplacement Idéal et un Service Exceptionnel ! Séjour : Novembre 2025 (3 au 5 novembre) Je viens de passer un séjour absolument parfait de trois jours au British Colonial et je le recommande sans aucune hésitation ! Emplacement de Rêve (5/5) : L'hôtel bénéficie d'une situation géographique exceptionnelle. Il est parfaitement situé à proximité des docks et à quelques pas seulement du centre-ville de Nassau. C'est l'idéal pour explorer ! Service Impeccable (5/5) : Le personnel est remarquable. Le service est excellent et l'équipe est professionnelle, attentive et très chaleureuse. Propreté et Beauté (5/5) : L'hôtel est très beau et, surtout, très propre. La belle plage privée est un véritable atout pour se détendre. Cuisine Délicieuse (5/5) : La nourriture était excellente ! Une vraie satisfaction culinaire. Si vous cherchez un hôtel alliant commodité, confort et qualité aux Bahamas, le British Colonial est le choix par excellence.

British Colonial was a really great place to stay. The staff and amenities were wonderful and the tavern in the hotel was also a great spot for food and cocktails - a must try is the conch fritters. The room was always cleaned well and the tea / coffee / water was always replaced when required. The property has its own private beach and pool area which are perfect for a quite day relaxing watching the cruise ships come in and out of the port. Overall, a wonderful stay but I likely wouldn't go back again at this time of year - a lot of places were closed early and the shopping and dining options were limited due to this.

We did not receive our inclusive breakfast, the bed was hard as a rock, there was mold in the shower and pubic hair inside, the iron had wet and dry rust coming out of it. The secondary pillows were stained and dirty and smelled like dirty musty feet. All but 2 staff members were not happy at all. They were rude and couldn't crack a smile or a welcome. The check in was horrible. No information given other than here is your wristband. No instructions nothing. We were told all we had to pay at check in was our balance of just over $100. Try $580. The private beach at the shore up to the sand was filled with trash. They do not rake it daily or at all. I literally was bringing piles of trash daily on to the hotel back steps for pick up. And the staff didn't come to the beach to take orders as expected. The bartender outside was rude. Theo a new staff was the only one at the beach pool area that cared.
