Our stay was exceptional. Even though we were redirected to another hotel the first night, the hotel staff made sure we were probably taking care of. Hotel is super charming, the staff is very helpful, and friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. Overall, a very pleasant stay. A special mention to Antonio at the reception for going above and beyond.

Great location and beautiful old property. The rooftop pool is about the size of a hot tub. The marketing material makes it look bigger!

Very Nice Stay
The location was perfect - right in the heart of Old San Juan. The history associated with this hotel was so interesting! They offered an historic tour of the facility, along with wine and cheese each evening. The restaurant was great! The staff was so kind. Our only complaint was that we couldn't quite get the air conditioner to a comfortable temperature.

The hotel is gorgeous! Service was a bit inconsistent especially with housekeeping. There is construction going on, and final day was especially bad. I do not recall having any forewarning of noise,
