The Armas hotel sits on the Plaza de Armas of San Juan, the city's historic main plaza. You can beat the amount of historical and cultural things to see and do that staying at this hotel provides. In addition, there are a wonderful array of restaurants in Viejo San Juan walkable from the hotel. As the old city can be heavily trafficked with tourists by day and night, the Armas hotel provides a quiet escape when one needs some time to regroup. It is clean, well climate controlled, and comfortable.

The stay was nice overall, and we appreciated the friendly staff. The hotel is in a great location just minutes from restaurants and tourist attractions, which made getting around easy and enjoyable. However, some of the pictures were a bit misleading. We thought the room we booked had windows and access to a pool, but it didn’t. That was a bit disappointing. After checkout, we were unexpectedly charged $200. We’re still unsure what the charge was for. I suggested my partner call to inquire, but he didn’t want the hassle. Despite these issues, we did enjoy ourselves and made the most of the trip.

Stay was great! Thank you guys for great service. The only thing I had to say negative was the ac vent over the bed one night started dripping water on me and my fiance as we slept. It was from the condensation because it’s so humid outside. Other than that I had a great time!

Hotel and staff were both really nice. Great location with lots of things to see and do nearby. There is some street noise with a plaza facing room but it didn’t disturb us. If you are a light sleeper you may want to choose an interior room.

My expectations were met. Customer service is superb. All the front desk attendants were very helpful. Huge shout out to Richenid. I booked my vacation package on Expedia, and Richenid called me to confirm my hotel reservation twice. She also created a three-page tour guide for me, covering breakfast, lunch, and dinner restaurants, as well as activities to do and places to visit. You name it, it was listed. That was such a great help for me. The location of the hotel was excellent. It was pretty much in the center of everything. Most places you are able to walk to. We used the scooter just for fun, caught the ferry a few times($1 round trip), and Ubered to the next town for water activities. Overall, my stay was 4.5 out of 5. The following items are the reasons I didn't give a Five-star rating: no microwave, no coffee maker, no closet, a farm door for the bathroom instead of a regular door, and there was light that came through the bottom of the front door. Although I believe that's common in a lot of the other hotels.
