Disappointing/Will not stay again

Last two days of our stay, no hot water. Floors filthy. Requested room to be cleaned. Requested Hot water. While on a excursion recieved a message saying everything had been addressed. That message was a lie. Absolutely nothing had been done! No bed made, No fresh towels, No Hot water (Had to shower cold!) Had to complain to staff to get someone to come up. Old furnishing. I do not recommend.

Cute hotel

The staff at this hotel were friendly and helpful. The open bar in the lobby was nice . Check in was smooth and Natalia and Marcos as well as the other front desk staff were there whenever we had a question. The only suggestion is that the showers should have grab bars for safety.

Fantastic hotel, but disappointed

Love the hotel because of the fantastic location and amazing staff. The adult only concept and open bar was exactly what we were looking for, sadly we wouldn’t stay again, the room was basic and actually felt unpleasant to stay in, no beside cabinets nowhere to unpack, other than a rail with a handful of hangers and a bathroom is dated. It’s a real shame as we loved the hotel concept, but would only stay again if the rooms were completely overhauled

To be petty: I've seen much older buildings in Europe with elevators (added, of course, in the 19th and 20th centuries). The hot water is unstable in the showers (or, certainly in my room). Magnificent staff of by smart, young people ready for intelligent conversation and useful suggestions —of things actually off the beaten path.

Excellent location

Having booked for 4 nights post our cruise holiday, we were upgraded to a bigger room so that we would be more comfortable. And it was. The room was very basic but it was spacious with one double and one single bed. The beds were very comfortable and we slept well every night. The services from all staff were excellent. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The location was fantastic as it was very easy to walk everywhere within the old San Juan. The rooftop area was nice to sit in the evening.

Perhaps the worst hotel choice I've made since forever... Given that it was rated the #3 hotel in Trip Advisor and over a 9 on Expedia: I was led to the slaughter. It was over $1400 for three nights and this "3.5 star hotel" was more like a dirty, loud, 2 star hotel with cold showers. Needed to clean my feet every time they touched the tile floor. It has NOT been renovated. Love historical properties. OK with taking luggage upstairs. Loved the location. Staff was great. Free drinks is great. Rooftop is a plus. Bed was good. But OMG, it could not have been louder. Took three cold showers. First time since Scout camp when I was 14. Have traveled a lot. Use to be every week. But the downs were just to great to justify its perks. My wife wanted to check out and find another hotel, but I just didn't want the disruption.

The staff are friendly but I wouldn’t choose this hotel a second time. It’s way overpriced for what it is. The building is very interesting and they really do try their best, but it’s fairly decrepit with uncomfortable beds and cheap furnishings. If you want to take advantage of an open bar and that means a lot to you, the bartender is very nice and we had a nice simple rum drink upon arrival. The location is great, too, and maybe it is better than other hotels in this neighborhood? I would just choose something different next time.

Nice place!

I would absolutely stay here again. It's pretty awesome to be handed your room key and asked if you need a beer. The internet worked fairly well, the rooms were clean, and I could not hear any riff raff outside. Also, it's very well-located in the heart of everything.
