Great location.
Nice big room. Friendly staff… although they didn’t seem to know much about the area. Very clean. Unfortunately the bar and breakfast are only available on weekends. Great central location.

Great pre-cruise stay.
Lovely historic property, walkable to the port in Old Town San Juan. Honored my Platinum status with an enjoyable bottle of wine (our choice between white and red). Housekeeping gave us extra coffee for the coffee maker and there is a nice espresso machine in the lobby available in the morning and again in the afternoon. The hotel messaged us with important parking info, which didn't apply since we did not have a car, but would have been a great heads up if we'd rented one. Staff was unfailingly pleasant. Would stay again.

I’m uncomfortable leaving a photocopy of my full credit card details and passport with front desk. They need to do a pre authorization on the machine like normal hotels.
Room is nice, very small but has what we need.

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.

Beautiful little boutique hotel, great location to walk all around old San Juan. Shopping, bars restaurants, the port and old Spanish forts all easy to see on foot. Staff was very friendly and rooms and common areas are beautiful.
