Room was clean, basic, but had everything that we needed. Great location, very centrally located in Old San Juan. We had a rough check in experience. There is no front desk and no staff on site. The morning of check in we received a code to a lock box that would have the key in it. The code worked fine but there was no key in the lockbox. This caused a lot of panic and we tried the conact information but werent able to get get in touch with anyone. My husband went to the pharmacy across the street and someone that works there knew someone who works at hotel and called them and got a different code to a different lock box. It was a mess and we were pretty worried we would have no where to stay for the night. It was obviously an accident but very unsettling. Never heard back from the hotel

This was honestly one of the smoothest stays I’ve ever had! I got there a little early, checked in with no issues, and they gave me my keys right away. My room was on the 2nd floor with a nice balcony, and everything I wanted to see was just a short walk away. I loved the old Spanish colonial vibe of the buildings—it really added to the charm. If I ever come back to San Juan, I’m 100% staying here again!

First night we were kept awake by the alarm in jewelry store downstairs. Then got rude reply to our complaint to the owner. Nice location but the property is in poor condition. Find a nicer place to stay.

*Property info (Expedia) says they have laundry facilities, they do not. *Check out time is 10am… They did approve until 11 so I could find a laundromat. Response from Navona; “I will let you until 11:00am, no more.” *Property info says the store next door will hold luggage starting at 10am, this is incorrect. The store didn’t open until 11. If you have early activities, you’ll need to stop, come back to the hotel at exactly 10am, check out and move your luggage to the store next door; assuming they are open. *Property info says you can store luggage until 3pm which is also incorrect. The store said no later than 2pm. *As submitted in other reviews; no elevator so if you have a large/heavy bag, expect to carry it up a bunch of stairs. To be fair, I’m guessing very few hotels in Old San Juan have elevators. *No front desk or onsite assistance. Any correspondence with the property will be via chat, email or phone. *The room itself was fine. *No coffee maker. Navona, 10am check out is simply too early for travelers. You need to provide some overlap from when the jewelry store opens and checkout. Otherwise your guests will need to wait on the sidewalk I guess (keys). Ensure your property info is accurate. It’s frustrating for travelers who research in advance, only to scramble at the last minute. If the store next door is open until 5 or 6pm anyway, allow your guests to keep their bags there until at least 4pm. #customerservice Put a coffee maker in each room.

Great place to stay and extremely clean. Very walkable and lots of restaurants close by. The only thing that I would change is for the option to have early check in especially for those getting off cruise ships early. They did provide luggage storage but we had to wait for shop to open up.

Loved my stay here! The staff was extremely nice and even let me check in a little earlier than advertised. The streets can be a bit noisy, but I’m from the Bronx so it didn’t faze me — it actually felt like home. The location is amazing, right in the middle of everything with plenty of food options, shopping, and historical sites all within walking distance. The place itself is super clean, with a cute rooftop that has lounge chairs and tables. I especially loved the balcony. I’d definitely stay here again!
