Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The room was extremely dirty to the extent that I wouldn’t even want to walk around in it unless I had flip-flops on. The tile was cracked, the shower was cramped, and the floor was oily with visible unknown spilled liquid on the floor. I will say the location was good but I would never stay here again. When we opened the door my wife looked at me with a pained expression and that’s the limit for me. The staff was very friendly but it didn’t make up for the rest of the experience.

The room was clean and the air conditioning works. As it's an old building, windows may not open all the way or at all. You'll also have to carry your own luggage up/down the stairs as there are no elevators or service. Great location! Enjoyed an open bar with water and beer.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff is very friendly and the hotel location is excellent; however, there were three things that disappointed me: 1. The hotel has four stories and no elevators, so if you are traveling with heavy luggage, be prepared to carry it upstairs. The good part is that you only need to do this once at check-in. 2. There was no hot water at all, which made taking showers uncomfortable. 3. There were frequent clanking noises at night, which affected sleep quality.

Manuel

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff was very courteous and saw to all our needs in a timely manner. For the price, the room left something to be desired, however. It was very small with minimal features. For example, it had no dresser; just a bar with a few hangers to store clothes. No coffee/tea service in the room; had to go to the lobby for coffee. And as advertised, there is no elevator so get ready to climb stairs. Location in Old San Juan is great for walking to restaurants, bars, and sightseeing venues. Overall we were pleased with the experience!
