“Great location, wonderful staff. But not the quality expected of a pricey mid-range hotel.”
The hotel staff are excellent - very friendly, knowledgable and helpful - not to be faulted. The open bar is a nice touch, but perhaps an offering to make up for the hotel's shortcomings (see below). The location is excellent and perfect to easily explore restaurants, bars and historical sites within just a short walk.

“Friendly place, great staff, but be careful what type of room you book.”
Staff are amazing, very welcome, great communication, friendly and fun. Welcome drink was a nice touch as was then carrying bags to the room. Nice historic old building. Roof terrace has nice view and open bar is appreciated.

“Fantastic place and perfect position to stay in PR!”
The guys were fantastic and the position was amazing, exactly in the city center. The structure of the building is historical, with modern details, and gives a flavour on what was like to be in PR in the old ages. Even if there is no elevator, the guys at the reception have been really nice and helped us bringing upstairs the luggages. On top of this, I liked a lot the open bar and the rooftop!

“My husband and I had enjoyed our stay and loved the attentiveness of the staff. We would return.”
We loved the location as it's in the middle of the island. We were able to explore the entire Old San Juan by walking everywhere in three days. We did not need car service as we stayed local and wanted to soak in the richness of Old San Juan. Restaurants and landmarks are within walking distance. Car service were only used to and from the airport and it was $30. Free complimentary drinks all day long. Coffee, tea and water in the morning and alcoholic beverages after 12pm.
