We really enjoyed our stay at the Decanter Hotel. It was very close to everything in Old San Juan, the staff was very friendly and helpful. They really went out of their way to help us feel right at home and made great recommendations for things for us to do and restaurants to eat at during the holidays. The hotel was a traditional feeling hotel. Our room was big and had a wonderful balcony overlooking the street. It was a great space! We definitely recommend the Decanter for a wonderful stay when staying in Old San Juan.

Room was nice although there was no mini fridge. Terrace was amazing. Unfortunately, we were unable to utilize the rooftop bar as it had a private party the night we stayed, very loud music and unable to sleep until it was over. The rooftop bar was one of the reasons that we chose this hotel, as we would have been able to have food/drinks at the hotel. Price of room should have been less given these are the only amenities at the hotel. Safe was broken in the room, staff unable to have it fixed for our stay. Phone in room was not plugged in, and no outlet found for it. Reported to staff, but not fixed, did not address it and so we were unable to utilize it to call other members of our family in their rooms. Staff were polite and hotel is in a great location for walking around Old San Juan.

Room was in good condition. Not all the staff that encountered were friendly and seemed to not believe in good customer service , but this doesn't reflect the entire staff. Also some amenities offered while booking this location were not available upon arrival at the location, for example the roof top bar and the complimentary wine for the room. The biggest complaint was in the middle of the night around 3 am the fire alarm went off and myself along with my female companion had to rush from our bed and out the door , all for a false alarm and the hotle staff was very nonchalant regarding this huge inconvenience.
