My wife and I stayed at this hotel for 5 days in May for our anniversary. We used Hilton points for our stay so it was basically free, except for the fuel charges, the maid charges and a few other things that amounted to about $10 per day. This is about a 100 year old hotel so things are going to be a little different than a brand new location. The room was small. Such that to open the dresser, the drawers would hit the end of the bed. Even so, the room worked out fine for us. The bathroom was nice and updated with both a tub and a shower. We found the staff very friendly and accommodating. Every one of them had a nice hello for us whenever we saw them. The beach was nice enough with plenty of room. The water was calm because of Paradise Island that is right out in the harbor. There was a lot of cruise ship traffic. At least one everyday we were there and sometimes as many as 4 in one day. Not a big deal as it only brought more people into town. Good location right downtown. We felt safe the entire time we were there. The Bahamas are very expensive place and this hotel was priced about the same as other establishments. Overall, nothing negative to say about the hotel. We would go back again.

“Good Location”

We stayed at this property for 3 nights in May- the location was close walking distance to shopping and restaurants and the Straw Market. The beach spots were fairly empty for the weekend, so we had no problems getting hammocks on the lawn or chairs. The drinks at the poolside were good and resonably priced. There is also a liquor store right across the street where you can get water and beer (try the Kalik) for your room. This is not a 5 star property, but very nice if you want a property that doesn't require you to have a rental car to get to dinner and if you don't want to spend tons of money on your hotel room. I would definitely stay here again due to its proximity to restaurants and shopping. We were also lucky to get upgraded to an ocean view room on the end of the floor, which was nice. There were very few children on the beach (this is a family resort) so we couldn't hear any loud children playing, which was peaceful.

This place is gross. The staff in horrible, not nice at all. The beach, unless you like swimming in gasoline from the cruise ships, that's the only way you'll like this place. The food is nasty and again the staff-HORRIBLE! If your 18 and want to get wasted this is the place for you. Also, the hotel is filthy and very run down. Trust me go somewhere else. The other people that gave good reviews to this hotel must be on drugs. Go somewhere else if you want to have a good vacation.

“Service is lacking”

British Colonial Hilton Nassau

Chattanooga
6 May 2008

I recently stayed at the Nassaua British Colonial in Nassaua and found that the hotel is beautiful and is in a great location. However, the service at this hotel was not good. This includes the pool side bar/food, cleaning staff, and front desk.
We were staying 2 nights paid and the 3rd night as a reward redemption. When we checked in, they assured that we would not have to change rooms on the 3rd night. After the 2nd night, they were encouraging us to change rooms. After refusing, we then found the room had not been cleaned all day upon our return back to the room. After calling the front desk, they finally cleaned the room about 3 hours later. Then for the remainder of the night (9:30pm latest) we received multiple people knocking on the door requesting a room check and asking when we were checking out. We also received several calls asking the same question.

Not Good Service for what used to be the pride hotel of Nassau. I would not stay there again. Also, the hotel rooms are old and very small.

“Very good value”

British Colonial Hilton Nassau

25 Apr 2008

We stayed at the Hilton from April 17 to 20, 2008 and found the accomodations and the service to be very good.

The Hilton has it's own private beach and the hotel itself is in a good location.

We only ate the included breakfast at the Hilton and the buffet was good.

We spent a day at the Atlantis on a day pass, which is only a $10.00 taxi ride away.

There are very few typical "ocean view" rooms and those that are available do not have traditional balconies. For that reason, we would recommend against paying any premium for the ocean view.

Room 537 was more than adequate for a couple.
