The hotel's location is fantastic, right in the heart of Old San Juan and close to all the areas you want to explore. The rooms appear dirty and neglected, with bed sheets that left much to be desired. The service was courteous and prompt, although the noisy 'ice machine' room beside ours was awful.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms had that charming European vibe and were spotlessly clean, but the lack of windows and distance from the Wi-Fi modem were minor inconveniences. The service was friendly, and they even helped us find accommodation in the Old Town area. The location was perfect for an authentic Old San Juan experience, with easy access to everything the city has to offer. The dining options were decent but nothing extraordinary. The hotel's facilities were satisfactory overall.

The hotel has a great location, making it easy to explore Old San Juan on foot. The rooms are cozy and offer a balcony with a stunning view of San Jose, but they are on the small side with very flat pillows. The service is generally friendly and accommodating, especially Luis the manager, despite some issues with hot water. The attached cafe offers a plentiful assortment of food, though we didn't use it. The facilities are adequate, and the overall value for money is decent.

The hotel is located in the center of Old San Juan, which is more than reasonable for its prime location. The rooms, while tiny, offer views of the square and a distant view of the harbor, but the lack of windows can let in noise from the courtyard. The service was helpful, though they seemed to favor certain restaurants. The location is amazing, perfect for exploring Old San Juan, but the morning street traffic can be noisy. The dining at the attached cafe is decent, and the facilities meet basic needs.

The hotel is perfectly situated for exploring the Old San Juan area, with a short walk to restaurants and nightlife. The rooms are cozy and functional, albeit lacking windows. The service is attentive and accommodating, although parking can be an issue. The dining options are decent, but the attached cafe goes unnoticed by non-breakfast enthusiasts.

Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience overall. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Old San Juan with easy access to local sights and restaurants. The rooms, though cozy and clean, are situated facing the street, providing a glimpse into the bustling surroundings. While the historical authenticity and convenient position are definite highlights, the noise from the street might bother light sleepers.
