Raiza

Amazing historical location. The service of the room staff and the person helping with our laugage was amazing. The pool area was clean and peaceful. The terrace place offered an excellent midday break. I would probably eat outside the hotel because the restaurant service was a bit slow for my taste, but all in all it was an excellent stay and i would definitely come back again.

Hotel el Covento is very well located, close to all sorts of dining and shopping locales and next to the Cathedral. It's colonial architecture gives it a very special charm and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The restaurant food and waitresses are really good. The only mishap was the faulty elevator but overall I would definitely recommend it.

Interesting very old building. Located in the heart of Old San Juan. We have stayed here 4 times. Clean facility, comfortable beds. Rooms are small, but, you’re not here to spend time in your room.

Elizabeth

Absolutely wonderful stay at Hotel El Convento!! Fell in love with the courtyard and was so nice to have turn down service!! Only critique was there were issues with the elevator during our stay and it was the only one available. Not too bad doing stairs with only five floors, but as someone who has a handicapped family member, would want to make sure there were a couple of accessibility options to accessing the pool and terrace. Overall though we loved loved our stay and will return!

Victoriano

The hotel is historic and beautiful. The room was nice and spacious. The staff was mostly very friendly, but the restaurant and bar had trouble keeping up with even moderate traffic. They were training a lot of new folks and it showed. The food was decent. Location is excellent and would stay there again with plenty of dining options outside the hotel.

Being a former convent converted to a hotel gave it a unique vibe. Loved the daily wine and cheese happy hour, pool/hot tub, and the AC and wifi worked well. Everything was tidy and clean, excellent Old Town location you could walk everywhere. Staff was responsive.
