At the heart of San Juan. My kids loved the pigeon park that is just few minutes walking distance away. Lots of great food near the hotel. We stayed during a weekend, the area can be a bit noisy after midnight, I was woken up 2am by groups of people shouting in the hall way. Regardless, the hotel is a wonderful.

Property is in a great location. We did lots of walking and exploring. Room was clean and nice. The only thing is next time I would get an interior room because you are close to the street and partying so you hear the loud music and people walking up and down throughout the night. Staff at the front desk and cleaning were so kind and helpful! It’s a perfect location close to shops, restaurants, historical locations to explore.

Staff was attentive and friendly. Easy accommodations for English speakers. The bar upstairs was well attended, unfortunately I was in town one day so didn’t frequent. Hotel was clean, rooms spacious for the Old Town area. I’m walking distance of the crusie terminal and all of the places to visit in Old San Juan. Attendant 24/7. A note if you are looking for a quiet hotel this is not the place so bring ear plugs if you are sensitive to street noise. Don’t let that deter you otherwise. Great time and I would visit again.

The best of Old San Juan
Everything wonderful about Old San Juan! Historic building beautifully kept up, has an amazing rooftop bar. We got to visit with the hotel owner who was friendly and kind. We stayed in a 1 bedroom unit with the pullout bed in the couch. We had a private 1st floor courtyard sitting area, very special treat! Hotel is very private and quiet. Decor is very nice and room was pristine clean. Staff are friendly and accommodating, even helped us find parking close by. NOTE: NO PARKING at hotel.

Fantastic location, very clean rooms, beautiful terrace with a view of old San Juan. The bed was a little small as it was a pulldown style but we spent everyday exploring so it's the perfect option to be in the middle of city.
