We enjoyed this beautiful, historic hotel. It was right downtown and had a beautiful beach and pools on the property. We felt very safe and the staff was excellent. My only issue, and it’s not so much with the hotel as it is with Expedia. I have noticed a pattern in the level of hotel rooms we receive when reserving through Expedia. We had a tiny, odd shaped, corner room that overlooked a roof and parking structure. The last Expedia room was right next to the stair well and the one before that, right next to the noisy elevator. I think I could call the hotel direct next time and get an equally decent rate with a better room.

The British Colonial is a historic hotel in Downtown Nassau, it is spacious, wifh a friendly staff, updated rooms, and a great private beach and conveniently in the heart of downtown Nassau. It is close to paradise island, the must not miss fish fry, and about 15 minutes to Baha Mar and jaws beach. I cannot wait to go back.

The property is great but the area surrounding the property shuts down once cruise ships leave port which gives the impression they cater to the ship clientele needs.
