Beautiful and quaint hotel in an excellent location. Close to attractions and restaurants and a short ride from the airport. Small but clean room with basic amenities. Staff was friendly and helpful. Nice rooftop and the open bar was a gem. Pros: Great location, amazing staff, open bar. Cons: Small bathrooms, no elevator, no pool. I would recommended this hotel for its location and wonderful staff.

Brilliant hotel

We absolutely loved this hotel! The staff were incredibly kind and very friendly. The open bar was an added treat which we really enjoyed and made friends at the bar. The building itself is beautiful, with lovely style and decor. The room was more on the basic side but that was fine as we spent more time exploring beautiful San Juan. The location was excellent. We would 100% stay again, thank you

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?

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
