We read the reviews and Hotel Milano sounded acceptable for a short stay in San Juan. The rooftop resturant was a big draw.
The rooftop resturant has been closed since December, the "free contentinental breakfast" is now $5.00 per person. Although we were told none of this on the telephone, we would have been OK if we had been given a room we could sleep in.

Our room (303) vibrated with noise from a compressor of some sort outside the window. I asked for a room which was not next to the compressor and was given the key to 403. As this was right above 303, it also vibrated. But, even worse, when I first flipped on the light, a cockroach came scurrying out of the fake plant on the table. I told the clerk about the roach, he offered me the key to room 304. We spent the night in 304. The room has no windows, just some glass blocks near the ceiling. The room vibrated and rumbled all night long. It was loud. The walls were vibrating so much that the framed pictures on the wall vibrated - adding even more noise. The dresser vibrated against the wall- more noise. . Sleep was absolutely impossible.
The staff were polite and did alllow us to check out the next morning (a day early) without paying the usual $50.00 fee.
All three of the rooms we were shown were completely unacceptable, I would not recoment this hotel to anyone.

We stayed two nights in Hotel Milano last week. For the price and location, this is the place to stay in Old San Juan. Very reasonable (almost cheap!) price, fantastic location - Fortaleza street is where it's at for shopping and restaurant selection. Be ready for street noise/music into the wee hours if you have a room on the street side. The people at the desk were very friendly, professional, and helpful. The $5 breakfast was a good deal but nothing special. The thing we didn't like was that the rooms were small, old, and well, not very nice to hang out in at all. We were often tired from shopping and wanted a place to just hang out and read and relax. This is when we wished we had spend the extra money to stay someplace nicer, like the Gallery Inn. But if you plan to spend all of your time in the streets, shops, and restaurants - go for Hotel Milano!

My wife and I normally stay at the chain/spa style hotels generally and decided to do something different this time. We stayed at the Milano 2 nights before a cruise out of PR. The staff was extremely friendly and the rooms were clean and charming. The location is perfect for those wanting to be located in the middle of some great history, shopping, restaurants and night activity. If you are going to stay in Old San Juan, do not rent a car, spend the time wandering the streets by foot or free trolly. For a boutique style hotel, we could not have picked a better place. We would highly recommend a stay at the Milano.

Hotel Milano was located in the heart of Ole San Juan, Puerto Rico. A short taxi ride from the airport. The location was wonderful if you did not want to rent a car. The Hotel was very clean, rooms small but user friendly. The entire staff was easy to deal with and very helpful. The roof top continental breakfast spot was lovely, the breakfast good. Enjoyed my stay. Would return again and recommend the Hotel Milano to everyone.
