So, we were booked to stay in this hotel that a friend of my mum's said was absolutely amazing but when we got there it turned out to be a total dump.
We said thanks but no thanks, and got back into the taxi we came in and started looking for another place to say. The driver recommended Olimpio Court. It was amazing. At first we thought it was because the other hotel was so dingy but no, it was really good. The room was always clean, the beds were comfy and I loved the view from the terrace. It was really homey and the staff was really friendly and nice. I remember one night the maintenance man helped me learn some Spanish strums on my guitar and taught me a 'bolero'.
There was a supermarket down the road and so we stocked up on little things to keep us comforable like ice-cream, strawberries and frozen dinners which we would pop into the microwave.
All in all, the four nights we spent there were a blast. Some days we just wanted to have a lie in... but everything was a 50 cent bus ride away... all the major malls and what nots.
I would recommend this to anyone.

After our flight back to the US was cancelled we needed to find a place to spend a few nights in San Juan until we could get back home. After being ripped off in old San Juan for the previous few days it was an absolute pleasure to come across the Olimpo Court Hotel. While the rooms are fairly basic they are exceptionally clean and with cable and AC it was a total bargain at $91 a night. They also have a great rooftop area with a view. It is easy to get to old San Juan and the airport by bus from the hotel, saving money on cabs. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful at all times. If you're on a budget and want somewhere clean and friendly to stay in San Juan then you should come here.

The room and bathroom looked clean but there were a lot of bed bugs. We didn't have a very comfortable night, and the situation got worse as the rash incresaed over the next few days. We also didn't get a room with a microwave. The location isn't great, I would recommend to stay in Old San Juan instead (where we spent a couple of nights and loved it). The additional $20 or $30 for hotels in Old San Juan is worth it.

This place is great! It was in a residential area, so there wasnt much to do in the general vicinity, but a quick bus ride (50 cents!) can take u to old san juan, and its about a 20 minute walk, or 5 minute cab ride to a small lagoon beach in condado. The room we stayed in had a huge bed and a microwave (I wished I had a fridge instead). The room was clean, had a tv with tons of channels, and a decent sized bathroom. The only thing I didnt like was that the water pressure in the shower wasnt great. The staff was super friendly and helpful, they told us places to go, and gave helpful hits of places to avoid. There is also a WONDERFUL restaurant adjacent to the hotel, El Chayote. It is SUPER expensive, but worth it! I had the most tender and juicy veal chop ever, with a delish goat cheese risotto. The desert was also amazing. While Olimpo isnt the most glamourous hotel in the world, it was certainly worth every penny. I had a great stay there, and for the price and the people, I would definetly stay here again!
