My stay at this hotel was fantastic! The location was superb, right in the heart of Old San Juan, making it convenient to explore the city. The rooms were cozy and had two comfortable queen beds, giving us a good night's sleep. However, the lack of natural light due to the tiny windows was a bit disappointing. The service was top-notch, especially with the option for car hire available, making our transportation arrangements hassle-free. The dining experience, with the homemade bread, was delightful. The facilities were well-maintained, but the absence of a few amenities was noticeable. Overall, a great stay offering excellent value for money.

This hotel's location is top-notch, right in the heart of Old San Juan and close to the Cruise Ship we departed from, offering convenience for travelers. The rooms had no windows but were quite spacious with two comfortable queen beds; however, the lack of significant natural light could be a drawback. The service, particularly the car hire service, was exceptional, making our stay hassle-free. The traditional regional homemade products at the dining establishment were a delightful touch, although the variety could have been improved. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel is ideally located in the heart of Old San Juan, offering convenience to explore the historic area and access to the cruise ship piers.
