This was a great find. The staff was great and very responsive with any inquiries. Very safe with a code needed to enter the property. They do not have an elevator though so if stairs are an issue you may want to see if they have a ground level room. They have a great roof top deck area with great views. I highly recommend this adult only hotel.

The staff at this property is absolutely top notch. They are friendly and courteous and a delight to interact with. Prompt response to all needs and knowledgeable about the area, they are probably one of the best hotel staffs I have ever met. The hotel is old, which I find delightful. It does, however, mean that you have to deal with things like no elevator, and a few minor plumbing issues (can’t flush paper) , not unusual to the area, and not a big deal at all. As I said, their housekeeping is top notch. The only issue we had was some of the other guests at the hotel enjoyed late night partying, and the sound travels very well through the beautiful old walls. Not the hotels fault at all. The area around the hotel is AMAZING. Within minutes walk there are wonderful food options, good shopping, and historical sites. The beach is a short Uber ride away. I highly recommend giving this hotel a try.

Outstanding Boutique Hotel
The staff is mad cool, very attentive. As soon as you come through the door they always greet you with positive energy and a cold drink which by the way is FREE. Rum punch, beer, sparkling water or coffee. I would definitely stay there again, and they are very centrally located in the heart of Old San Juan.

I highly recommend this hotel if you are going to old San Juan. The experience is unique. The staff will always make sure that you are enjoying your stay and will go out of the way to complete requests or accommodations. The only thing is if you are going in groups or big family do not expect your rooms to be next to another, as their policy they do not allow that. Other than that I loved it

The floor tiles are in poor conditions. Many stains and cracks. They look not well maintain. Talked to the property manager about it and they claimed that because is a historical place they can't make many changes to the building structure. It seems there was a long term water leak in front of the room and this damaged the flooring. In my personal opinion they need to polish the tiles.
