Historic building and great location in Old San Juan.
United States of AmericaVery central location in a beautiful and historic building, but updated with AC, elevator, and a modern bathroom.
United States of AmericaYou just can’t replicate this kind of character and charm. From the woodwork, to the arches and unexpected bathroom fresco, it’s incredible. The history is palpable. Attentive and sincere, we throughly enjoyed the warmth of the staff. The weather was rainy, but the staff had plenty of suggestions - and umbrellas. The rooftop pool and hot tub were great during a light rain.
