Clean space. Staff was AMAZING. The hotel communication both before arrival and during my stay was fantastic. Stocked complimentary bar was a nice bonus. Room was spacious but clearly in a historic building. If you are looking for a polished space, this isn't it, but if you are looking for reasonably priced in a great area, then you have found it. Would stay here again.

Keep in mind this building is over 200 years old. The water was really cold however the staff was soo pleasant and the free open bar was a added touch. You are literally in the middle of San Juan so we were able to walk around and explore. I highly recommend this place if you can oversee the age.

Our stay at the hotel was good! The room was clean. We were most impressed with the location—it was incredibly convenient, with restaurants, shops, and attractions all just a short walk away. It made exploring the city so easy and enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again!

Great central location. We spent 4 days here and the experience was great. Staff is ultra friendly and helpful. This hotel has an open bar which is great. Lots of shops and restaurants surrounding the property. This is a nice little boutique hotel in a building that’s 200 years old. We loved our stay here and would recommend it for active travelers looking for a home base.
