Small hotel, big on charm, in Condado District
Le Consulat is located on quiet, tree-lined Magdalena Street in the Condado District. The small but mighty boutique hotel is in the middle of an area popular for its shopping, dining and nightlife. The hotel is also just minutes from the beautiful Condado Beach. Small touches -- such as breakfast vouchers for a nearby bakery and a reading nook on its third floor -- add up to big charm. Le Consulat has a lovely enclosed pool area, including a swimming pool and a hot tub fed by a waterfall, with tables and lounge chairs. The rooms are tidy and contemporary.
Highlights
  • The golden sands of Condado Beach just blocks away
  • Breakfast vouchers

Great value

My boyfriend and I visited San Juan for spring break. The staff at this hotel are the absolute best, they were so friendly and very helpful. You get what you pay for with this hotel. It's perfect for those who don't need to spend a lot of time in the hotel. However if so, there is a tv and a quaint pool. There are plenty of shops in the area along with restaurants and other hotels and casinos. Great beach which was a two minute walk! It was a great place to stay. I would go back.

It was good stay!

Le Consulat is at a great location! It's a block away from the Condado beach which is a plus! We did not rent a car and actually feel we didn't have to, great places to eat(walking distance), a walgreens around the block, casinos and liqour store nearby. Old San Juan is a15min bus ride away which was fantastic. As far as the hotel I was somewhat disappointed to be honest, but remembered some of the reviews I had read previously like "you get what you pay for" for example. You won't pay a lot so don't expect any fancy stuff. We stayed in a 1 bedroom on the 1st floor. Expect some humidity smell if the air isn't on before you get there but it is clean! Once we turned on the air we no longer smelled it during the entire stay. The AC was so good that the whole time we were there we kept it on low. The bed was comfortable and sheets were change everyday. New towels was also provided everyday. There were no dressers to place our belongings but we did have a closet. It was a small room but had a private patio with two beach chairs to enjoy the out door weather. The bathroom unfortunately was the complete down fall to the room. It wasn't completely separated from the rest of the room with actual walls, there was an accordion door/ wall which you can slide open/ close when necessary. Good thing was that you could keep it open to watch tv while sitting on the toilet. The pool was also small but clean and had chairs to sun bathe! The staff there was the plus to this hotel. They were nice and anything you ask for they make it available to please you. First hour there we asked for a new iron (the one we had, had some sticky stuff stuck on it) and with no question they gave us a new one. We also asked for additional hangers and with no problem also provided them. More towels to go to the beach we got it! The best personell there I must say is Pablo! He is awesome and was the only conciere there to greet us every time we saw him. Super informative and always willing to help, feel bad I didn't see him to give him my farewell when we checked out. Overall, yes it wasn't a five star hotel, but great location, good people, and good food nearby.

Dining tip: Short walk from hotel

Bebo's Cafe was highly recommended to us and we totally agree. Local prices which was good and awesome I mean awesome food. Eating in the Condado area could be expensive if you don't where to eat, even eating at known places like Uno's pizzeria could run you a 50 dollar tab. At Bebo's you'll find a great Latin menu and delicious dishes.

Very dirty

I would be very careful booking this room. The bathroom was very dirty and when I asked to be changed to another room they said they were booked. They didn't even offer to clean it. There was still hair and gum in the shower from a previous guest.

Excellent location and great staff

this budget hotel is centrally located with easy access to public transportation and to old san juan. Staff were great...especially Susie, Pablo and Tatianna. Had a patio which is a must and was wonderful. The room was basic the bed very comfortable. The bed skirt and one of the window drapes was dirty and I reported it and it was never fixed. Hotel located in great neighborhood.

good place to stay, informative receptio

hotel room is nice,but without fridge. staff at reception are really helpful,giving information on tours, car rental, and calling taxi. They offer guests free parking nearby. Walgreen is one block away, beach is two blocks away. It also has a small swimming pool, tho I am too busy touring around to try them. They no longer provide free breakfast voucher in a cafe nearby.
