We stayed for four nights in early July 2009. It being the off season the hotel was quieter than I had thought which was a benefit. We felt like we had the run of the place. The staff were incredibly attentive and pleasant, with none of that "forced" good service we see so often where behind the smile is just... more

It's not for nothing that this hotel is rated #1 in Old San Juan. There's simply nowhere else you should stay unless the price is prohibitive. The building, the setting, the location, the food, the little pool and hot tub, the free wine and cheese in the evening, and the staff, all combine to make this a no brainer. Stay... more

Wonderful hotel in the heart of the city. Small but lovely pool and cocktail hour are just a couple of things that make this place special. Enhanced our trip because of the quaint, authentic, old world feel to the hotel. more

I really had a fantastic experience at this place. We were there for about 8 or 9 nights and it was exactly as other reviewers have written. The hotel is really the only option if you are going to stay in Old San Juan. It's literally within walking distance of 90% of everything you'll want to do in the city;... more

This is the most beautiful hotel I've ever stayed in. Service was great. Very clean and the beds were actually comfortable (really rare for a hotel bed!). The staff was very helpful. The pool and jacuzzi are outside on the 4th floor. A beautiful location where you can watch the cruise ships come in. The restaurant in the open courtyard... more

I recently stayed at Hotel El Convento & can say it's been one of the best hotels I've ever stayed. The staff, especiall Jamie the doorman, were so helpful & accommodating. The location is keen & parking is directly across the street. Cost is $22.00/night. The rooms were decorated so beautifully & extremely clean. Every night between 6-7 they'd host... more

I needed a last minute hotel room in San Juan this past weekend. I was so excited to see that El Convento not only have rooms available, but they were at a very decent price. I'd visited the hotel's public space a year ago and fell in love. That's the big draw, a huge open courtyard in the middle of... more

This hotel exceeding my expectations. I fell in love with the area just as we began driving through it. Old San Juan is spectacular to say the least, and El Convento, is truly the only place to stay in my opinion. It holds one of the best locations in town, and is renovated to be such a beautiful property. Ben... more

Okay so maybe it did help that staff upgraded us to a suite on arrival but what a fantastic hotel! The concierge was a mine of information on restaurants, activities and excursions - the Segway tours are highly recommended! Hotel has all the charm and service you'd expect from a small luxury hotel but manages to retain an informal, relaxed... more

We stayed 2 nites before heading off to Culebra. A beautiful hotel with lovely accomodations, room was neat, clean and quiet. Happy hour every nite and coffee drink bar open all day. A great way to start or end your trip in PR! more
