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.

Beverley, United States of America

Loved staying at el convento. So cute and quaint. Loved the rooms, very clean and comfortable. In a great area. We would definitely stay here again!

Shannon, United States of America

A historical boutique hotel in the heart of Old San Juan. Lots of interesting places within walking distance. Staff very helpful in booking outdoor adventure tours. Loved the deck pool area where I could enjoy the free wine and cheese reception and watch cruise ship leaving the harbor.

Cheryl, United States of America

First and foremost, the hotel is GORGEOUS! I couldn't have asked for a better view or atmosphere. Plus, the location is amazing--right in the heart of everything. The room and bathroom were clean and the bed was so comfortable. Above all, the staff blew me away. Not only did they send us a complimentary bottle of champagne on our first night (we were celebrating our honeymoon) but they stopped by on both nights to re-make the bed, set soft music for the night, refill the fridge with two cold bottles of water, leave us some ice, and put out a couple pieces of chocolate on the bed for the night. It was those small little things that really made a difference in comparison to the other hotels I've visited. The wifi worked well and it was relaxing to be able to watch some TV at night (since most places closed by 7p-8p--we visited on two weekdays).

Alexina, United States of America

Superior service in a beautiful location. From the 24 hour coffee and fruit to the evening wine and cheese reception, everything was perfect. The location in Old San Juan can't be beat and the building itself is just beautiful.

Becky, United States of America

This is a Historic site, from architecture to ambience is an unique and incredible experience. Super romantic! Highly recommend.

Abner, Puerto Rico

Location, history of the building, room with terrasse, staff, wine and cheese at 6.00 daily, hot tub and pool on terrasse,

Jean-damien, France

Beautiful hotel, great staff, perfect location. Pool is really just a plunge pool and a juccuzi but it's located on the top deck with lovely view

눉I wish you have queen side beds in the room
눇Overall the place is like been in heaven. Every one went out of the way to help out with any question or request. I like the bar, the restaurant, the layout and the architecture of the place. We like the free bikes, We liked that we had two umbrellas available for our own use. We like the bath and the hot shower and plenty of towels and the room daily service. We liked to be able to step out of the place and be within walking distance to restaurants, to nice bay views to stores. We like that the room was very dark and quiet once we closed the balcony doors. We liked the afternoon social where wine grapes and cheese was served. We had a great time.

눉Just because I was looking for this, I wish the pool had been bigger. I know this is not an easy fix but it was a little awkward to be swimming so close to people I didn't know.
