This is a small European like hotel in old San Juan. The hotel is very calm and quiet, with no kids allowed. The staff are very friendly and helpfu. You have to remember there is no elevator, and the rooms are small by US standards. We had an interior room with no windows. They do not serve food, but there are tons of restaurants very close to the hotel. Did I mention the open bar?

Staff were all amazing! Chris is -bar none - the best welcome and ongoing service we have ever had. He made our whole stay AMAZING! Rooms were small and need stands/tables. But Chris and roofdeck made up for it!

Horrible. Don’t waste your money!

We have stayed here in the past, but this experience was horrible. The young man with long hair at checkout was rude. TVs didn’t work. No help with suitcases. Overall not a great experience for us for the price. Would not recommend
