to get started.

Everything! Thw ambiance, history of building, lication and staff.

Jennifer, United States of America

It was my b-day weekend when they found out they waited for a suite to clear out and they upgraded as a curtesy and on top of that their attention to details was spotless.

Marien, United States of America

The staff at this hotel were wonderful. Anytime we had a question or a request, they were more than willing to answer, give advice or provide what we requested. The rooms were extremely quiet - we stayed in room 517, which has two single beds because I was traveling with my adult daughter. The pool area is wonderful to sit by even if you don't want to swim. There was generally a breeze and shade. The 3rd floor has an endless supply of water bottles and coffee/tea. this coffee was much better than the packets they provide in the room. The soaps and shampoos are all Aveda so very nice on the skin. If you enjoy walking, you can walk to everything you would want to see in old San Juan from this hotel. We had a relaxing and comfortable stay at this hotel. If I come back to San Juan, I wouldn't look anywhere else. I would definitely stay here again.

El Convento is a beautiful historic hotel in Old San Juan. We enjoyed complimentary wine and cheese every day at 6:00 PM. There is a lovely rooftop hot tub and plunge pool with lounge chairs. Overall, the accommodations are spotless and elegant.

눉It was a little disappointing to have to pay $24 per day to park the car, especially as it is parked in the church parking lot across the road - however street parking is not available so this is unavoidable.
눇The staff at this hotel were wonderful. Anytime we had a question or a request, they were more than willing to answer, give advice or provide what we requested. The rooms were extremely quiet - we stayed in room 517, which has two single beds because I was traveling with my adult daughter. The pool area is wonderful to sit by even if you don't want to swim. There was generally a breeze and shade. The 3rd floor has an endless supply of water bottles and coffee/tea. this coffee was much better than the packets they provide in the room.
