Barceloneta Vacations from $400

Stayed here for the bad bunny concert, nice and convenient, just careful if you come down the stairs since my wife sprained her ankle on last step from morning dew

I booked this place thinking it was in the heart of Old San Juan based on reviews about the “great location,” but it actually wasn’t close to much — about a 20-minute walk to the main attractions. The front desk is technically available 24/7, but only through a messaging system, and someone comes over if there’s an issue. They do respond quickly. One girl that came over at one point was not friendly whatsoever as if I was inconveniencing her: That setup made me feel a bit uneasy since there’s no on-site security, and the building felt empty even though other guests were staying there. Entry is by keypad into an empty lobby. The elevator didn’t work, and the next day we didn’t have hot water (though it was eventually fixed, the water pressure stayed low). The shower had a modern design with only half a wall and no door, which caused the bathroom floor to flood. On the positive side, the king bed room was spacious. However, overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re looking to really experience Old San Juan.

Beautiful intimate hotel in a great location. Staff was great and super helpful at all times. Definitely would stay here again.

Was skeptical based on reviews but I stood at the Urbana and I had a lot of hot water and the AC was great I even had to turn it off periodically from being too cold. The area does get nosey on Saturdays and Sundays. Aside from that great stay.
