The location is great but this is the tiniest hotel room I have ever imagined. It can't be more than 8 ft by 8 ft with an attached bathroom. There was absolutely no place to open up a suitcase and leave it open. You have to haul your suitcase onto the bed and repack everything before you can find a place to put

Weird washroom requirements
I liked the retro look of the place. It was gross and uncomfortable to read on the room signs that stool paper after wiping needs to be placed in the trash and not flushed.

Stained Glass door room stay
It was nice. But there needs to be a work table in the room. I had to work on the luggage rack, it was hard. I work early, so worked in lobby in the dark, as lights are not on until 8a. Also, the pipe drips in that room from ceiling so had to have towels along the floor so would not slip and fall, plus it is rude awakening in middle of night to step in cold water. Other than that, it was nice

Wonderful time in old San Juan
It was amazing. The presidente suite was better than expected. The apartment was well equipped, clean, abc had the most comfortable beds. My kids loved the loft area and everyone enjoyed the balcony. Everyone was very nice and having coffee in the morning was a nice touch. Would definitely stay here again.

The Puerto Rican experience
First time renting in Old San Juan, if you want to experience what life in Puerto Rico is like for the locals, this is it. Don’t expect a luxury resort style stay, it’s an old building but decent. All the bars, shops, and restaurants are within walking distance. It’s not a five star but it’s a local experience if you’re ok with experiencing what life is on the island.

Great location. Taxi had a hard time finding it as there isn’t an obvious sign. Room was smaller but fine. AC couldn’t go below 70 and was still pretty warm in there. We had no exterior windows. We were next to front desk. Very loud when ppl came back to hotel and going to their rooms. No sound proofing at all. Construction during the day.

Try other alternatives
I asked the front desk on two different days to have the room cleaned and it wasn't done.
The room barely fit a queen size bed. When I inquire if all the rooms were that small I was told that only that one. Also, that that room was the one given to people who book through hotels.com
I saw two roaches inside the microwave.
The front desk was overall friendly and the location is good.

Not luxury, very practical.
This is an older building, which should be expected in old town San Juan. This is not a luxury hotel. It has a limitations of an older building, including few outlets, no windows in our room, not a lot of amenities. For a one night stay prior to a cruise, it is probably perfect. Do not bother getting a taxi to the Cruise port, anyone with reasonable health can easily walk and save the taxi. It is also within easy walking distance of all the tourist sites in the old city.

Worst place ever
Rooms too small with no windows it is like a prison cell. Will not stay there even if it was free. Horrible experience. Refused to check in and left the hotel. Be wear. Pictures had nothing to do with reality.

We loved staying here. Our room was TINY TINY and no closet to put your clothes away or hideaway the suitcases so they don’t take space away.
Bathroom was big and spacious. Bed was comfortable.
Staff was amazing too really good care of us. Let us drop off the suitcases earlier we got there and also leaving it for the day our ship was leaving late.
It was close it everything in VSJ.
I would book again but ask for a bigger room. There were bigger ones. But ours was tiny.
