Our stay was absolutely excellent from start to finish! The hotel was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing experience. What truly made our stay unforgettable was Christian—he went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and taken care of. His kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail were outstanding. We will definitely be coming back!

Excellent place to stay in old San Juan. Near plaza Colon that is the hub to many events and tours. Clean, friendly and with attention to detail. A quiet resting place out of the business of the tourist influx that happens when visitors arrive.

The staff was amazing and the hotel has an authentic charm and hello open bar! So close to everything and very walkable area! We absolutely loved this hotel. Only down side was no elevator and the shower was a bit on the cool side. But made for some fun memories. Definitely would recommend if you are ok with lugging suitcase up a few flights. 10/10 will stay here again!

The staff was amazing! Open bar for all guests! If you have a car, you will need to find a 24 hour garage or street parking which can be difficult depending on the time of day. We would totally come back though. Walking distance to everything in old San Juan!!
