Tiny room, just bigger than the bed. Noise all night due to the front desk. Terrible breakfast, stale bread and day old fruit. Was supposed to stay 3 days but left after 5 hours. Lost our deposit but it was worth it.

Is there a negative review?

We checked in here after a terrible experience with another hotel and didn't expect anything better, but were actually quite surprised. The rooms are nice an clean, we had no bad experience with either the bathroom or the bed. Sheets and towels were provided, breakfast was modest, but tasty and fresh. The part that stood out was the extremely welcoming staff, namely Kaitlin and Junior, who were always helpful, smiling, chatty, and overall gave the hotel a really warm atmosphere. 
The downside were cockroaches in the lower level rooms, but higher rooms had none, and that most rooms lack windows. However, the building is a nicely renovated colonial style building and the location is within walking distance from the theater, center and the municipal market. Overall, I can recommend this hotel for staying in Manaus, its a nice place for a budget hotel.

Nice hotel and very friendly staff

I stayed here one night, arriving at 4 am and if it hadn't been so early in the morning I would have turned and walked back out.  I was shown to a room that had no windows and no blanket / cover for the bed.  I ended up sleeping in my towel.  This I could have stomached but the bathroom was a different story.  It clearly hadn't been cleaned since the last guest...the bin was full of rubbish, there were shaving hairs all over the sink, clumps of hair in the shower drain and to top it off....poo still in the toilet!!!  I was supposed to stay in this hotel a second night at the end of my trip but couldn't stomach it and found a far superior hotel in Manaus for not much more money.

Room had no windows and bathroom was filthy

I stayed here the night before my jungle your and the two nights after. I chose this hotel for the price and central location and my only expectation was having a place to sleep. I have stayed at crappy hostels as well as five star hotels and am pretty flexible when it comes to accommodation as long as the basic requirement of a comfortable place to sleep is met, and this is where the Colonial fell short: although it looks great from the outside, the rooms are clustered around the reception area and as such you hear everything that is going on--such as the night receptionist talking loudly and watching a loud TV till 1-2 am, and the morning activities starting at around 6 am. Even with earplugs, I had to ask the receptionists to turn down the TV every night--given how close the rooms are and the fact there is no sound isolation in the rooms, this is something that they should be aware of. You also feel like you have no privacy since the room is literally located right by the reception area. 

Another issue which made a good night's rest difficult was the fact that the mattress was covered in plastic underneath the sheets, which felt quite uncomfortable especially given the humidity in Manaus (though the AC worked very well). 

Positives for the Colonial are the extremely nice, friendly staff, the central location (10-15 minute walk to the theater and the Carrefour supermarket) and the breakfast which includes tasty Amazon juices such as cupuaçu. However, for me these were overridden by the noise issues I mentioned above, especially since Manaus has little nightlife and most tourists are there for jungle tours (which all have early departures), therefore a quiet room to sleep in is a basic requirement. 

Very noisy, difficult to sleep

The hotel is a nicely restored colonial building with large rooms and high ceilings.  It is located  near to downtown in an apparently safe area close to a pedestrianized shopping street. The room, while basic, was clean and generally comfortable and the AC was quiet and worked well.
The breakfast is limited in selection and quantity, and there are limited options on TV.  When I checked in, they attempted to put me in an interior room beside reception (no windows). I requested a room with a window and was moved to a much nicer room with exterior windows.  Other travellers have noted this same issue, so don't accept the worst (interior) room as a given if that is what you are first assigned.  There is no room safe.  Despite what others have said, I did not find reception especially friendly,  Overall, good value for money (cash only payment).  While it is located on a busy (but not large) street, I did not notice noise to be a problem.

There are few eating places in area, especially after 6 pm or on Sunday (this issue is common to central Manaus, which rolls up the carpets and goes home at about 6 pm.  Finding an eating place in the evening is a general concern).
