We had a 5 night stay and it was amazing. The staff was incredible. The doors stay locked at all times and you have a code to enter which is nice. You are right in the heart of old San Juan. The complimentary bar was a huge plus. You can literally walk up to the bar and ask for any drink, alcohol or non, and it’s free. The rooftop lounge was very cozy and beautiful during day or night. If we ever return to PR, we will definitely stay here again.

Great place, very friendly staff and the open bar is great. Neat little place, just make sure you’re ready to go up some stairs with your bags because they have no elevator.

Room was supposed to be ready at 4pm but it wasn’t ready until close to 6pm. All you can drink was a plus. No elevator. Great location.

La localización perfecta. Ahora, no había presión de agua, la poca agua que salía era pegada a la pared. La cama era muy monga

I had an enjoyable experience overall, not because of the room, but because of the location, which is absolutely perfect. You’re right in the middle of EVERYTHING in San Juan. Pros: • Excellent location, walkable to shops, restaurants, and nightlife. • Friendly and kind staff. • The open bar saved me a lot of money. • Adults-only and key-code entry made it feel secure. • Amazing roof top view Cons: • When I arrived around 8:45 PM, check-in was delayed because the one attendant was also serving drinks. There should be separate staff for bar and reception. • The building is old, which I expected, but some aspects felt more neglected than vintage. • The floor was visibly mopped but still felt dirty. Stains on the curtains didn’t help. • The bathroom setup is outdated—you can’t flush toilet paper and must throw it in the trash. • There were ceiling leaks in the hallway and a sign about a $25 charge per item, for makeup-stained towels/linen. 😳 • The towels in the bathroom looked extremely dingy—off white, and in need of replacement so I didn’t use them. It’s not worth more than $150 per night for the room alone, but the location is what you’re paying for—and that part is priceless. I’d stay again for a night or two max. Hopefully, some of the revenue is used to improve the plumbing and cleanliness. This place has potential with a little more care.
