Lovely historic property, and very interesting decor made this a hit with our family. The coffee machine is wonderful! Would be much better if they had dining options, or at least offered their roof top bar during the week. The staff was mostly friendly and kind. Very convenient to everything in OSJ.

We loved our stay at Decanter. The hotel is so cute and boutique. The location is great if you want to explore old San Juan, which I recommend doing. The staff was so friendly and helpful. It’s a little noisy on the weekends, being so close to the party street, but we still loved it.

The hotel is located in a nice area in Old San Juan. It was close to restaurants and shops. The room was only refreshed once during my stay and we ran out of toilet paper. Daily room refreshers would have enhanced my stay at the hotel.

Nice hotel in the area. Excellent service and friendly staff. We got a complimentary bottle of Chardonnay, which was a pretty good bottle from California. The area might be a bit noisy, but ear plugs solve the problem. I slept for 12.5 hours after a long flight. What more can I expect from a hotel?

Excellent 2 night stay prior to our cruise. Staff very welcoming and informative. No problems checking in and were granted late check out. They also called a taxi for us. Would definitely stay here again. Decanter has a lot of character and give you the historical vibes of Old San Juan! Thank you so very much; it was so enjoyable & simply perfect.

I have never been somewhere where my expectations have been far surpassed!!! This started before I even went to the hotel. The hosts were already contacting me to assure that I was good to go and let me know what to do if I needed anything. There was a Fernando that really helped as well as the other staff who went above and beyond, even as far as reserving taxis for us during our stay. Our room was more than we could ask for. I didn't know the sofa bed was in a separate room, we felt like we were staying at an Airbnb! The location is smack dab in the center of Viejo San Juan, so if you plan to spend a lot of time there, pretty much everything is walking distance. It was perfect. Yes, behind the Decanter are a few bars so you do hear the last night crowds going home at night. A sleep sound machine we brought helped us avoid those noises! Oh and they have a great tapas and cocktail bar upstairs called El Cathedral! Give it a try!!! We hope to return soon!!! (I also wrote this on my Yelp : 5 Star Review)

From check in to the check out, the staff treated us like family. I really felt pampered, and that they really cared! Our room 301 had a magnificent view of the cathedral. It was air conditioned and the king bed was just the right amount of comfy. We particularly loved the rooftop bar, which became our hideaway. I couldn’t recommend this more. We don’t necessarily jump on the American style 4 star hotels, and prefer local owned and managed places that contribute directly to the local economy.

I've stayed at a few hotels in OSJ and I'd stay at this one again. > Front desk was very friendly and very helpful. They held my bags pre-check-in and post-check-out. I'd feel better if they were put away during that time, although they were behind the inner door. > Very clean. > My room had high windows, but had pretty good light in the daytime - wasn't like a cave. > Bathroom was a good size - shower was large and the water pressure was good, and the hot water was hot. Vanity had counter space (some other hotels did not) and there was a swing-arm magnifying mirror. > The room and the bathroom in particular could've benefitted from some brighter lighting when needed, especially by the vanity. They seemed receptive to the suggestion. > The rooftop bar is only open from Thursday through the weekend, but the roof is always available and I spent time up there stretching and meditating in the morning and writing at night. It looks south over the cathedral and toward the bay. > My room had two twin beds. The bed was comfortable but I'm guessing it was twinXL - long enough but narrow. I'd prefer wider, but I'm small so it wasn't really a problem for me. You might feel differently. > Location is great! Next to the cathedral, near the square with "4 Estaciones" cafe, busking musicians and the Poets Passage. Lots of restaurants near by - including Almacen (Argentinian) with amazing churrasco and desserts, and just a short walk from the arts museum and the Morro fort.
