We stayed here for part of our honeymoon following a cruise. We were here for two nights but wish we could have stayed longer. On arrival we were much earlier than the checking in time of 3pm but the staff were more than happy to keep our luggage in a safe place so that we didnt have to carry it... more

Okay, that sounds a little X-rated but really we were on a layover to an island in the carribean and watned to check out Puerto Rico. We chose the right place to stay!! The people at El Convento couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. They sent us to Baru for dinner and to this date it is still one... more

Visited this hotel for the first time for 3 nights on the strong recommendation of a friend; booked a "pre/post cruise" package at $225 per night which included a one-way transfer to/from pier or airport and one free breakfast for each one purchased (but, it transpired, only at the same time so, no use for me). The hotel's in a... more

We had read so many fine reports about this hotel, we had to see for ourselves. They were right! When we checked in we were greeted like old friends they were happy to see and until we left we had excellent service. The desk helped us with site seeing bookings and resturant reccomendations and all done with this great attitude... more

Reservations were made by my companion who has a feel for the unique. If you are going to San Juan, then this is where you must stay. Even better if you go off season as we did. Listed as one of the best small hotels in the world, it lives up to its billing. A list of the positives: willingness... more

I just planned our annual last minute trip to San Juan for husband's birthday. I am sad that I was unable to get accomodations to El Convento. We stayed here last year and the location is just prime. The staff is helpful, the rooms are large and clean. I can't say enough positive things of this historical hotel. The hot... more

Where to start- elegant, friendly, warm, helpful staff, fantastic nightly wine reception, perfect rooms, views... This is THE place to stay. San Juan seems to be a dud, except for Old San Juan. It's like a great Mexican or Spanish city- colonial, historic, nice plazas, great architecture, great churches, fantastic old fort ruins, great restaurants and nightlife. El Convento and... more

This beautiful old convent is situated in an excellent location to everything in Old San Juan. Our room had a lovely view of Old San Juan Bay. The welcoming staff was so hospitable. Treated us like we were special guests. The facility was so beautifully done with old Spanish tile flooring, gorgeous open air terrace. The plunge pool area allowed... more

We stayed at this hotel for a one night pre-cruise stay. The hotel normally has a limit of two nights, but they were gracious to let us book for only one night. While others have said they love the hotel, we stayed at the El Convento two weeks ago and we were not thoroughly impressed with the hotel, or their... more
