“Coral Princess - Convenient and Clean”

3/3 found this review helpful

We stayed at the Coral Princess from May 2-4, 2008 for a weekend getaway.

- Location: Ideally situated a block from Condado Beach and near many small restaurants (loved Cafe Del Angel). Easy bus ride on the B21 to Old San Juan.

- Cleanliness: Mostly very clean. Bathroom was spotless. Only complaints were that the fan in our room was covered in dust and the rooftop hot tub's water smelled funky and needed a cleaning.

- Room: Room 16 is small, but clean and quiet, on the second floor overlooking the lovely courtyard with plants and a small, but very clean pool. It has a jacuzzi tub.

- Breakfast: Breakfast was adequate, but nothing to write home about.

- Service: The staff was very helpful, even letting us store our stuff in a room with a shower on the last day -- our flight didn't leave until late in the day.

Overall, Coral Princess was a great choice for the price. I would stay here again. The only complaints were the dirty hot tub and fan.

“Definitely recommend”

Coral Princess Inn

2 May 2008
5/5 found this review helpful

Stayed for 5 nights based on the good reviews on this site. Was one of the best deals in San Juan, even with the substantial taxes/fees added (which are listed in the confirmation email as a final price). The rooms were larger than I expected from what I had read. Small flat-screen TV with a bunch of channels for pre-bed dozing off. The pool is small but useful. The rooftop hot tub is hit or miss as it wasn't always working. Breakfast was basic (from Costco) but enough to get you going in the morning.

The staff was very helpful and one maintenance issue that appeared was resolved immediately. It was possible to find parking always either in front of the hotel or on side streets so never had to pay extra. And the location is very convenient for Condado, which seems to be rapidly expanding. Lots of restaurants and shops around, including a very useful Walgreens one block away. Cab fare to downtown San Juan was $12 if you don't feel like driving (didn't try the bus).

Overall, this hotel is a good value in a good location, so I would definitely recommend it for visitors to Puerto Rico.

3/3 found this review helpful

We were in San Juan for a mix of business and sightseeing. This was ideal. The inn is close to the beach, restaurants, convenience stores, a pharmacy, casinos, and trendy shopping. The staff became our friends--they were very open and helpful. Old San Juan is an easy 10-minute, 75-cent bus ride away (buses are not on predictable schedules, though).
You would be hard pressed to find a more reasonable price in this area.
We will return!

“Coral Princess Inn”

Coral Princess Inn

30 Apr 2008
3/3 found this review helpful

We enjoyed our stay at The Coral Princess. It was our last hotel of the trip and overall it was a nice place, but I was expecting more. The hotel does add a lot of taxes and charges though, so be aware of that. It was almost the price of another night. The patios and balconys were wonderful. The room was nice, though a little dirtier than I expected, but still not bad. The bathroom was the worst part, but still very manageable. A little bit of mildew and it just looked older, like it should be retiled and regrouted. We were a little bored in this part of town though. Nightlife is pretty lacking if you don't feel like getting ripped off at the casinos and not really that many places to eat as far as variety goes. There is a huge Chili's down the street, but that just isn't a place we travel to Puerto Rico to eat at. The beaches are great though, we really enjoyed them.

“Great location and lovely inn”

Brea, California

4/4 found this review helpful

We booked this hotel based on great reviews on TripAdvisor for a two night after cruise stay. We were very pleased with the location. There were local restaurants all around. Good food and prices.
We arrived at 11AM with a 3 PM check-in. We were able to store our luggage and go into Old San Juan. Be sure to take the bus. A cab is $15 and a bus is .75 - but you MUST have 3 quarters - the driver cannot make change and won't. It is bus B21. Leave the hotel to the left, go to the corner, go left, go to the light by Walgreens, cross it, cross again to your right and there is the bus stop. Sometimes it comes right away, but you may have to wait 30-45 min. Sometimes it goes straight to Old San Juan and sometimes it seems it is going in circles.
Back to the hotel. We had Room 2 on the ground level. The hotel is probably one of the cleanest I have ever stayed at. There is a breakfast room (ok continental - the coffee was great), a library, and on floor 3 a sitting area and pool table. There is only air conditioning in the hotel rooms, not the shared areas. The small pool in on the ground level and the spa is on the roof. It is a little portable type. We could not get the water to heat.
The room was furnished in a spare, modern way. There was a hair dryer and ample towels. We did not have any hot water problems. The only problem we had was the bed frame. It had legs that stuck outward. We kept banging our toes into it and crying out...finally wrapped towels around them.
For $135 it was worth it. Great location, clean, wonderful staff, and beautiful gardens. I will stay there should I be in San Juan again. I will also recommend it to others.
