Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The positives: room was clean, staff was polite, and the location is in the old city center. There is an open bar, for whoever cares about that. The negatives: it was one of the most uncomfortable rooms I stayed in in my life. The bed was uncomfortable, the room is extremely minimalist, with no closet and barely anywhere to put your clothes, there is no hair drier except if you call the front desk and then I had to go downstairs in my pajamas myself to get it. There is no elevator and that could me ok ish but because of that, starting about 4am there is constant loud banging because guests are dragging their suitcases on the stairs (which is completely understandable). I would not recommend except if you stay one or max two nights and sleep like a log no matter the noise or discomfort. If that’s OK and location and an open bar matter most then it’s fine.

I was very impressed with this hotel. The location couldn’t be better. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Allowing us to store our bags before and after checkout was also a huge bonus. The price was unbeatable for what we got and that was before we knew about the open bar! 10/10 would recommend. If I come back to San Juan, this is where I will stay again.

The room is like a very nice prison cell. No elevator. No pool. NO HOT WATER. Day guy was rude- night shift girl Dayanara is phenomenal and awesome. Not only a cold shower, but we had to call to get instructions on how to rig the shower. The guy said to turn on the hot water in the sink and leave it on the whole time in order for barely lukewarm water come out in the shower for about 5 minutes before it went completely cold. I feel like the guy thought it was literally insane to expect either a hot shower, a warm shower, or some kind of effort on the hotel's part to stagger showering. If you like icy showers, or if you want great service during the midnight shift after a red eye fight, stay here. If you are expecting basic hotel amenities like a warm shower, don't stay here.

We didn't check in until 1AM but the staff could not have been nicer. We even got complimentary house drinks upon arrival. Room was great, amazing location in the heart of Old San Juan. A rooftop area only for guests. And a code entry system so only hotel guests were around. Would definitely stay here again.

Staff is helpful, a/c is good, complimentary bar is a nice feature. However, room had a considerable amount of mold at the floor line, room was tidy but basically not very clean, and the mattress was thin, lumpy and not comfortable. Note the rooms are very small.

The bar was a great option to have. We do wish the rooftop patio had some shade instead of bathtubs? Staff was great, location would be perfect for cruise. Secured entry was admirable.
