Reviews and Ratings
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.
