Excellent place to stay in old San Juan. Near plaza Colon that is the hub to many events and tours. Clean, friendly and with attention to detail. A quiet resting place out of the business of the tourist influx that happens when visitors arrive.

The staff was amazing and the hotel has an authentic charm and hello open bar! So close to everything and very walkable area! We absolutely loved this hotel. Only down side was no elevator and the shower was a bit on the cool side. But made for some fun memories. Definitely would recommend if you are ok with lugging suitcase up a few flights. 10/10 will stay here again!

We didn't check in until 1AM but the staff could not have been nicer. We even got complimentary house drinks upon arrival. Room was great, amazing location in the heart of Old San Juan. A rooftop area only for guests. And a code entry system so only hotel guests were around. Would definitely stay here again.
