Amazing historical location. The service of the room staff and the person helping with our laugage was amazing. The pool area was clean and peaceful. The terrace place offered an excellent midday break. I would probably eat outside the hotel because the restaurant service was a bit slow for my taste, but all in all it was an excellent stay and i would definitely come back again.

Hubby thought it was “fine”. ~Run!

The hotel is in a very popular historic area with lots of restaurants and shops. Very cool from that perspective. It’s exactly what we wanted. The building is hundreds of years old and in a way, it was interesting. However, they seemed to have made very few improvements. We checked in and got the keys, which were actual keys on a key chain. I was kind of excited thinking it was sort of cool and hip, but it was the first sign of how the rest of the stay would be. The interior was very dark and dated- heavy dark wood with lots of scratches and gashes in the walks and woodwork. Absolutely everything is original, which some people probably like, but I found it to be creepy. It felt like a junky old, worn out building that smelled old and dirty. As I laid in bed and looked around, the old phrase “bed chamber” came to mind and it made me laugh. I feel like the owners are hiding behind its authenticity s an excuse to not update it. Couple other things to note, there is no parking, not even on the street and no valet. You have to park in the public parking garage a half mile away and drag your luggage uphill and over cobblestones. What sums up the entire stay and really says it all is that the shampoo and soap containers in the shower were completely empty. Plenty of conditioner though. When we were dropping off the keys at checkout, I mentioned that they need to fill the shampoo containers and the response was “you didn’t mention that last night”. Huh?

Unforgettably Wonderful!

When staying in Old San Juan, we always stay at El Convento. It's absolutely centrally-located and easy walking distance to everything. However, also far enough from the main plazas that it is quiet in the evenings. The staff are friendly and go out of their way to accommodate. A BIG thank you to Jesus, our favorite bartender! He was amazing and always with a smile. The front desk was incredibly helpful with local 'must-go' suggestions including best time to visit. And, a smiling thank you to our room steward who stopped by every evening with chocolates! El Convento is wonderful and and an unforgettable experience!

Absolutely wonderful stay at Hotel El Convento!! Fell in love with the courtyard and was so nice to have turn down service!! Only critique was there were issues with the elevator during our stay and it was the only one available. Not too bad doing stairs with only five floors, but as someone who has a handicapped family member, would want to make sure there were a couple of accessibility options to accessing the pool and terrace. Overall though we loved loved our stay and will return!
