This is the perfect place to stay in Old San Juan. It is in the middle of everything, and is beautiful and comfortable in every way. We especially loved having coffee each morning outside on the terrace over-looking the park.

Only here for one night. It was a lovely stay. Friendly staff, easy check in, room with comfortable bed, clean and included a bottle of wine. Lovely courtyard. Room was quiet and cool. Wine and cheese reception was a nice touch. While my husband was resting in the room I sat outside and read and drank wine-plenty of outdoor shaded seating.
