Staying at Hotel El Convento was the best decision I made when deciding to stay in Old San Juan. The employees ensure you have the most pleasant experience and are very responsive. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful and blends in with the Old San Juan aesthetic. It has a lot of fascinating history mixed in with the local art displayed throughout the hotel. I would stay here again.

I highly recommend this property. It's beauty and history are incredible. The hotel pays for a walking history tour of the hotel and old San Juan which was great. I enjoyed the complementary coffee in the morning and wine and cheese in the evening. Walking distance to restaurants, bars, and shopping.

My stay at El Hotel El Convento was absolutely wonderful. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel genuinely welcome with their warm hospitality and outstanding service. The hotel is beautiful, full of history, elegance, and charm, making it a unique place to experience Old San Juan. The location is perfect—you can easily walk to El Morro, Calle Fortaleza, colorful streets, restaurants, shops, and many of Puerto Rico’s most iconic attractions. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and beautifully maintained, and every member of the staff went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. The restaurant was excellent, offering delicious food in a lovely atmosphere. I truly appreciated the attention to detail and the relaxing ambiance throughout the property. If you’re looking for a hotel that combines luxury, history, exceptional service, and an unbeatable location, I highly recommend El Hotel El Convento. It made my visit to Puerto Rico unforgettable, and I can’t wait to return!
