The location is great but this is the tiniest hotel room I have ever imagined. It can't be more than 8 ft by 8 ft with an attached bathroom. There was absolutely no place to open up a suitcase and leave it open. You have to haul your suitcase onto the bed and repack everything before you can find a place to put

Weird washroom requirements
I liked the retro look of the place. It was gross and uncomfortable to read on the room signs that stool paper after wiping needs to be placed in the trash and not flushed.

Stained Glass door room stay
It was nice. But there needs to be a work table in the room. I had to work on the luggage rack, it was hard. I work early, so worked in lobby in the dark, as lights are not on until 8a. Also, the pipe drips in that room from ceiling so had to have towels along the floor so would not slip and fall, plus it is rude awakening in middle of night to step in cold water. Other than that, it was nice

Wonderful time in old San Juan
It was amazing. The presidente suite was better than expected. The apartment was well equipped, clean, abc had the most comfortable beds. My kids loved the loft area and everyone enjoyed the balcony. Everyone was very nice and having coffee in the morning was a nice touch. Would definitely stay here again.

Be aware the hot water is not always available when you want to shower. If you have issues sleeping or are a "light" sleeper, this might not be the place for you. Service was great, safe, walking distance to all eating places, bars and music.

Our party of four had a fantastic stay at Fortaleza Suites! The hotel was incredibly clean, and the location was perfect for exploring the area. It was conveniently located within walking distance to many shops and restaurants, and just a quick 5-minute walk to La Factoria and other popular local bars and clubs. The employees were warm, friendly, and very understanding, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. I highly recommend Fortaleza Suites for anyone visiting the areaā€”great value and a wonderful experience!

The Puerto Rican experience
First time renting in Old San Juan, if you want to experience what life in Puerto Rico is like for the locals, this is it. Donā€™t expect a luxury resort style stay, itā€™s an old building but decent. All the bars, shops, and restaurants are within walking distance. Itā€™s not a five star but itā€™s a local experience if youā€™re ok with experiencing what life is on the island.
