We loved staying at this hotel, it’s a beauty old convent and is right in the heart of old San Juan. We paid an extra $75 a night to upgrade to a suite as the queen beds were v small. Definitely worth pre-booking dinner in San Juan as many restaurants were fully booked. The staff were very helpful and friendly and we would definitely return

Lovely setting. Modernized rooms with period common spaces. Nice sitting areas on 3rd floor and beautiful patio bar and restaurant. Excellent staff, though the dining room is slow on weekends.

We were happy with our stay at El Convento. Our room was clean, and the beds were very comfortable. There was a wedding, but we did not hear any noise at all. Location is perfect, central to Old San Juan. If you want to explore on foot, this is the place to stay. Our only issue was that we had to park about three blocks away, but it was definitely worth the trouble. Loved the wine/cheese reception. Great restaurants nearby
