I don’t even know where to start! This property was absolutely stunning! The staff were so incredibly welcoming and friendly. There’s so many things that make this an amazing place to stay! From the breath taking views from the rooms and roof top. To the unlimited complimentary bar. I would most definitely come back here in the future! Highly recommend!

The room was clean , but we kept having trouble flushing the toilet. I would go down to lobby to use the bathroom. One of the staff members at front desk told me he was not a maintenance man and I was given a plunger to unstop the toilet myself. I tried several times and it didn’t work. The next day another employee was there when I went to address the issue and he came and fixed the toilet.

This hotel is not for everyone but if you want to have the feel of living in Old San Juan, in an older eclectic apartment, then look no further! We had our own private balcony with a tub. Yes it’s on the 4th floor, but the stair climb daily was just added exercise. We had the best, relaxing anniversary trip. Oh and COMPLIMENTARY BAR actually means COMPLIMENTARY! An inviting bar, with friendly service that cost you nothing more to enjoy!

The perfect place to stay in Viejo San Juan. The views are truly spectacular, the building itself is stunning, and the staff is warm and welcoming. The open bar is the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be returning.
