Pros: Service was good. The people at the desk were friendly. Cons: Old building. Elevator is 1,000 years old and honestly takes 15 minutes to go up and down. Plumbing was horrible. Hot water worked but very slow. Our room was like a dungeon. There were no windows and we overslept the 1st night we got there. Also no refridgerator.... More

The benefit of this hotel is its location. You can walk to every restaurant, attraction, etc. Yes, it is an old building (no windows) and the elevator is slow but to me, that's what gives this hotel some character. It is not the typical fancy building most people are used to. I would definitely stay there again. The people were... More

An old building with tastefully decorated rooms, modern plumbing, free wifi. The catch? Many of the rooms are windowless, so if you require a window, keep looking. Wonderful location on the Plaza in Old San Juan. Convenient to forts, stores and restaurants. Walk to transit. Taxi stand at front door. I will be back! More

This is a three hundred year old hotel in old San Juan. Not like any other Howard Johnsons in the world.No free breakfast or parking but clean rooms and great air conditioning. The shower was also very clean and the water pressure and temperature were wonderful.The beds were fine and again very clean (no bugs!) There are no windows in... More

We spent two nights here before switching to a nicer place. I cannot caution people enough about staying here. This hotel used to be army barracks 50 years ago. There have been no serious renovations since then... Our room was windowless. Because of a storm, the tv, internet, and phone were out. The AC was a wall unit that was... More

We stayed here with another couple for 4 days pre-cruise. Location: I thought it was perfect. Walked around the city every day, much quicker to walk anywhere versus taking a taxi. The streets are very narrow and VERY congested. The plaza was very loud into the weeee morning hours but we were there for New Years Eve and the party... More

We stayed one night before our cruise based on other traveler's recommendations. We were led astray! The building is very old, and to get to our room we had to either navigate a narrow flight of stairs or use the tiny elevator. Our room was small and hot with only local TV channels. Upon check in, we were asked to... More

I decided to treat my husband to a trip to PR for father's day weekend and thought this hotel location in the San Juan area was ideal, but soon found out the location was the only good thing going on for this place. The very old looking elevator seemed to be out of order most of the time, the rooms... More

We have stayed at El Condado, Old San Juan and in Ponce. I lived in the island 15 years (1961-1976) all the way two 2 years in the Univerisity of... More
