Considering this is such an old building in a very old area, we loved this hotel. There is deterioration, to be expected, but everything was clean and the bathroom was newly updated. We didn’t spend much time there, other than to sleep, shower, and have breakfast one day, but the location to experience Old San Juan was perfect. Parking is a hassle everywhere in Old San Juan, but we found parking at La Puntilla (recommended by the front desk receptionist) to be perfect. Only $3-5 every time you left. The bad reviews made me hesitant to stay here, but we couldn’t have been happier. There was plenty of hot water in the shower, the room was perfectly cool, and everyone was friendly. We consider ourselves travelers, not tourists, so if you’re looking for something upscale and fancy, look elsewhere. If you’re looking for a comfortable place to stay while exploring the culture of Puerto Rico, stay here.
