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.

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.

Great location and magical coutyard.
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,

The hotel is in front of the cathedral of San Juan Bautista. It maintains its antiquity being a previous convent at the same time providing modern comforts. One can walk almost everywhere. I recommend the restaurant in the hotel. The food is good. You’ll find the amenities provided by a four star hotel. The staff are very nice and professional.
