Wow. This place is great! Smiles on all personal and great attention to being helpful. Training department here could give lessons to other hotels on the island. Good morning/ good afternoon and how’s your stay spoken often and with sincerity. I will be back for sure! So fun watching the big ships coming in and docking. Quite a site to see them turn around in the bay. Food was good at the hotel and in the area. Really liked Smugglers and The Bush Garden. Art museum and Church past Smugglers is good too.
Floor 6 balcony is the best view
Entrance is quite beautiful with historic charm
Huge ships docking and making a 180 turn.  Fun to watch

British Colonial has a great location and beautiful private beach. I was contemplating on staying at Margaritaville or on Paradise Island, but I am so glad we didn't. We tried one day to go to the public beach which is shared with Maragaritaville and it was chaos. We just walked back to British Colonial and enjoyed a nice relaxing afternoon. The rooms are very clean with comfortable towels and linens. Being right in downtown it makes almost all attractions walkable, and it is only a few minutes cab ride to Paradise Island if you want to check out things over there. There are many places to choose from in Nassau, but the whole trip we just kept saying that we are glad we chose British Colonial due to it's great location and amenities. Keep in mind everything in Nassau closes early, so figure out your dinner plans before 5pm.The restaurant in the hotel is pricey, so it would have been nice to have a dinner option after 5pm that is more affordable.
