We have stay at the hotel a couple times. Our stay at the Hotel del Prado has always been a wonderful one, my family enjoyed the pool and plaza. The rooms decor were a bit outdated, but we did not spend much time in them, only to sleep and shower. The food and service was very good and we will certainly come back once we visit barranquilla again. There is so much history and detail that it adds a certain charm to this hotel.
Good place. Good Drinks. Parking is a bit far from enteance.
Great historic site. The plaza is beautiful, and the pool is very well maintained. As a whole it's better than most hotels in the area. But the rooms. Really need to be updated. Shower head was broken. AC unit above the door wasn't sealed, and leaked on you when you opened the door.
Lovely, charm of yesteryear. Slightly worn at the edges but it only adds to ambiance. Great lady of hotels.
La comida en el restaurante terrible y la atención peor.
What a fancy place! We had delicious cocktail drinks by the pool in shell loungers for a few hours. Was nice to be out of the sun and laying somewhere comfortable. The staff was very attentive and the grounds of the hotel were gorgeous.
It was disgusting been there. The room that they gave us for a full price was a dump, worst than the worst motel in the world. Images talk more than thousand words. Dirty, wrecked and nasty.

If your looking to step back in time and stay at a beautiful Hotel then this is the Hotel for you. Exceptional service and a wonderful experience staying there.
Being a Colombian native and from Barranquilla, I had such high hopes for this hotel. There wasn’t one single good experience I can count from this hotel, first when they say free Wi-fi they mean in the lobby area since the signal is so weak it does not reach the rooms, there are no ice makers in the whole hotel, if you want ice you have to go buy it across the street. The breakfast food seemed to be reheated every other day and the staff is not very attentive in the restaurant. There is no staff after 4 pm for any housekeeping needs or emergencies. But what distressed me the most is that I was changed from rooms due to the mattresses being in horrible state and they were all in the same state, you can see the actual springs through the fabric, needless to say it was impossible to get a restful night sleep when those springs are poking you all night long, which is sad since a comfortable bed is the least any hotel should offer regardless of how many stars they have. I have gotten better rest at less expensive hotels in the USA. There is no mini bar service and if you want water, you have to go and buy it from an outside store, management is a total joke since all they say is “I’m sorry, but there is nothing I can do about that” for every issue. I could not stay for the length of my stay under these circumstances so I moved to a different place for the rest of my stay in Colombia.
