As one of the oldest existing building in downtown Nassau, The British Colonial Hotel is a historical masterpiece and a part of the British Colonial architectural history. Unfortunately, this magnificent building no longer possesses the character and charm of the past. Purchased by a Canadian pension fund with no concern for authenticity, the building’s interior now impersonates a cheap two... more

British Colonial offers you a good location in terms of proximity to downtown and also Paradise Island. The hotel itself was clean and the rooms nice. Nice flat screen TV and HUGE bathroom. The bed was comfortable. We didn't eat at the hotel due to TripAdvisor reviews that it was expensive. There is 15% added to everything in the hotel... more

The BEST thing about the British Colonial Hilton is the staff. Everyone was wonderful (though the unofficial Hilton policy of having rather snooty front desk staff continues). Our room was cleaned daily by the lovely and gracious Princess (her name, not title), and the concierges (Adrian and Juan) were marvelous about making appointments for excursions such as the Dolphin Encounter... more

We were always able to get a chair on the private beach. Our room was fine but a little on the small side. We were Hilton Diamond members so we got to... more

The location was excellent for ease of walking to major sites - The Straw Market, Government House, The National Art Gallery, Cathedral,... more

Friendly staff. Responsible priced hotel. Easy to get to all the shops in the middle of the town. Would recommend the hilton to family and friends. more

We read all the ratings on several sites and the 1st stay at this hotel in May 2009, we found we did not experience the same as some had written. But, then when we stayed in August 2009, it was EXACTLY as the bad reviews had indicated. We are Hilton Diamond members, which is the highest level of their frequent... more

The British Colonial is a hotel you really, really want to like, but gosh they make it hard. First a bit of history, since this is the oldest operating hotel in the Bahamas. The current building dates from 1922, when the previous hotel that had burnt to the ground was rebuilt on the site. For decades, this was the premier... more
