A literal stones throw from San Cristobal!!
I rented this apartment on accident, and I couldn’t be more pleased. The place was amazing. It was so close to San Cristobal, and just a short walk to Del Morro. You won’t be disappointed.

Property is far from the hotel and on third floor with no elevator. Appointment is not clean. Only one pair of keys, but it is 2 keyed doors on entrance to stairs and in apartment so if one person needs to go another one should go with him to open gate and after that come back on third floor On nerow and high stairs Only 2 bath towels and amenities not clean

I paid a fee for housekeeping which I did not get the entire tiemmI was there which was 3 days. we were 4 people in total and one toilet paper is crazy for 3 day stay. The staff had me walking for about an hour and a half to do my check in despite the fact that I told them I was lost and couldn't find the place where they said the check in is supposed to happen. I arrived at 4. Walking up and down then steep streets of san juan looking for the other hotel that was located in the back of the same building i was supposed to be staying at. Service was terrible. The only good thing was the view. The bathrooms were dirty and very small. I will not recommend it and I won't ever stay here.

When we checked in, our property we rented 6 months ago and verified two days before we were told had water damage and the balcony needed repair, so they put us in the hotel there on property, at no time was I offered any compensation, I was told this space they put us in was more expensive than the ocean front apartment. I feel as though many problems could be overlooked by waking up and at least looking at the ocean. Let me just say the staff was very helpful with questions and problems, I know it isn't their fault, but the hotel was running off of generator for two days and we were on the third floor, so the elevator did not work. The ice machine in the fridge was not working, dishwasher not working, the showers have no pressure and there was enough hair in the sink drain that you could make a wig. We stayed for 4 nights and all in all we were safe, the area is residential with a couple bars and nice resturant on the same street. Just feel as though they should have in some way compensated for the loss of scenery that we did not get to experience.

Location was perfect right in the heart. I didn’t complain while staying there but omg paint chips kept falling from ceilings, bathroom shower poles kept falling down and hair everywhere in bathroom. Tile floor in bathroom very dirty. The bathroom was the grossest. The place didn’t feel at all clean sofa was stained dirty… like I said the location perfect but my God the place needs upkeep and super dirty. Not what it looks like in pics. Sorry but not sorry.

6/10 Good

We liked the convenience of walking around Old San Juan and dining around the area too. We liked the view very much. The building is old and needs updates on windows, doors which are not very secure, and bathroom is outdated and tiny. Also, we suggest disclosing the fact that the building has no elevator as we are older and had to carry our luggage up to the 3rd floor on a very narrow and deeply inclined staircase.

It was a very convenient place to stay. Two mins walk anywhere. Friendly staff, didn’t have a problem with anything. It was a 3 stories walk up. I liked the view. Best place ever.

This is not a hotel. We stayed for four nights and we requested bath towels and a soap through text. Text didn’t do anything so we had to go get towels. Location and the view from balcony were great. We killed 2 cockroaches in the bathroom.

Balcony Room with a Fantastic View
The ocean view from our room was amazing. We stayed in a balcony room. The room itself is old and not fancy, but it's supposed to be old and not fancy. The service was excellent as well. The room is up two flights of stairs. If you don't want to haul your luggage upstairs, this room is not for you. But if you do, it's worth it.

Great location ideal for being downtown being in the hub of everything. Few minor disappointments Only one set of towels for five days day no wash clause or any hand towels for in the kitchen. And TV did not work.

4/10 Fair

Prime location awful property (Zen studio) This hotel is located in a great area. Unfortunately, there were many issues that made our stay very uncomfortable and unsafe. You will walk into a spacious loft with no air conditioned in the living room, just the bedroom. The bathroom shower is very tiny, the water faucets and the shower curtain are broken and filthy. The front door lock doesn’t work we were afraid someone would break in. The list goes on and on…The owner should provide the basic amenities like towels, paper towels for the kitchen and some guest information of the location, WiFi, places of interests etc. This studio needs to be renovated, just look at the pictures. Also, this place was not clean. When a customer books a hotel should have some basic comfort without requesting it.

The only thing I paid for a late check out and was told it’s till 2pm for 50$ On my last day I called to confirm that I’m leaving at 2 they said no it’s 50 for every hour after 11… that’s the only thing I was upset about.. but either that it’s super nice

If you want comfort spend your money elsewhere.
Great location but average to below average accommodation. Very small and dated bathroom with barely enough space. Hot water was more like warm. Was sent an email confirming a different room but given another when we arrived. Not a single window in the entire place.
ryan, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

It’s all about the location and the views. They are indeed amazing. That’s the main positive. The access is challenging as the unit is located on a third floor with no elevator. The unit is old and it shows. Furniture, bathroom and kitchen show their age and look cheap and very used. There are cracks on the balcony structure that can make some people nervous. But the views are breathtaking…

This was my 5th time staying at this location. I love the views from this place. But this time the room was very dirty. This is the first time I have experienced this here. The floors were very dirty. The bed had a lot of hair on it i can imagine it eas from the last guest. The TV didn't work. Overall I was disappointed with this stay.

Old San Juan
The stay started off poorly because the hotel does not have a drop off section and you have to check in two blocks away. This was not communicated to us. The room was good sized with a LR, Kitchen, and BR. The ceiling fan in the LR didn't work but the one in the BR did. The bed was a comfortable King. The windows were metal slats that gapped and allowed in a fair amount of sound. There was a rain storm one day and the roof in the bathroom leaked. There was a puddle of water in the bathroom. This was made all the worse because there were only two towels in the whole place. We needed those for showers. Also no wash clothes.

6/10 Good

Good but needs a lot of improvement.
Mixed experience. I can split this in two. The good the view is amazing and the location is premium in Old San Juan. The not so good, the mattresses are uncomfortable and old, one of them have a dip that’s very noticeable. The furniture is old. When I checked in the host at the hotel told me “the view is amazing, unless it rains, the. It’s not so much. So, it did rain overnight ñ, I left the windows half open and when I woke up in the morning I had water all the way into the kitchen. The bathroom is very small which I don’t mind much, but the sink is so small that you make a mess when you are brushing your teeth. Also no elevators, and a leak by the balcony door.
This is the view from the bed closer to the balcony.
View from the balcony in the afternoon.
