This is wonderful historic hotel right in the heart of old town San Juan. It was a dream come true to stay there. The hotel is gorgeous and well kept. The check-in was easy and friendly. The room was on the small side. The bed was somewhat hard and I did have a problem with some form of black granular substance that was on the bed. It was not insects, but it was weird and unexplained. The room did have nice amenities and double doors with a protected ledge that had an excellent view out into the city and the bay. There was some faulty or damaged items in the room, but the shower worked well with plentiful hot water and the toilet worked well. There was a bar and restaurant on site in the middle of the hotel that was convenient but expensive. I had one meal there which was OK but overpriced and took a long time to deliver. The bar staff was friendly. But the bar was expensive. I had two Mojitos and it was about $70. They do have a workout room, which was helpful. But it did have multiple pieces of broken or damaged equipment. The Wi-Fi was OK and easy to use. Overall, I did enjoy this stay and it was pleasant. But the broken or nonfunctional items is very out of context for what is supposed to be a top level establishment. But honestly, it adds somewhat to the charm as nothing in Puerto Rico works completely normally and some broken items is the norm. I would definitely stay there again and definitely recommend it.

El Convento is always a great choice for Old San Juan. Our room this time did have a disagreeable view of the squalid property’s roof which was next door. Management could not move us but were very apologetic and sincere in taking our concerns seriously. We always stay at El Convento.

The property is a heritage building restored to perfection. The location is excellent, in the middle of old San Juan. The restaurant was excellent. There is smallish rooftop pool with a separate Jacuzzi. The pool side serves free coffee and hot water in the mornings and wine and cheese in the afternoons. The property itself is gorgeous and restored to perfection. Would love to come back and stay again.

I loved the old decor from years ago, but can also say they've elevated the the beauty of the hotel with renovations. I've been staying at El Convento every year (with the exception of Maria and Covid) for 10-years and will continue to to come back for years to come. Thank you

this is an old hotel that has been restored several times. As such, it is NOT a resort like you would get in "new" San Juan. What it doesn't have in bells and whistles it makes up for in warmth and charm. The staff go above and beyond, the location is unbeatable, and the old world ambiance makes for a wonderful stay. My only word of caution is do not drive to the hotel as there is no dedicated parking, and especially on weekends, parking can be a challenge. Will definitely stay there again!

This hotel is in Old St. Juan. It is an old convent, (17th century). There is a very large inner courtyard with shady cloisters on all four sides. The central area was full of plants and flowers and one very large old tree! A delightful place to stay and very comfortable. Excellent staff.

Hotel had a historic feel but the VIP experience didn’t feel VIP other than one bottle of wine given at check in and turn down service in the evening. The food quality of the restaurant on the property is NOT good.
