Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room I had was very comfortable and had a balcony overlooking the pool, which was a definite highlight. However, the noise from the street was quite bothersome. The service was friendly and helpful, adding a warm touch to my stay. The hotel's location was wonderful, with picturesque views of the sea and being close to many attractions in Old San Juan. Unfortunately, the dining options were minimal and disappointing, unless you were willing to pay extra for some items.
The hotel was not a budget option at USD250 a night but offered a room with a view of Calle de San Sebastián. My room, named Sebastian after the street, was charmingly painted but quite small like a prison cell.
The hotel has a fascinating location right in the heart of old San Juan, providing comfortable breezes all day and night. The service was incredibly pleasant, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. While the dining experience was quite minimal and not as coordinated as expected, the hotel offers a unique experience for open-minded guests appreciating the beauty of artistry. The rooms were well-designed by the owner, quiet, and air-conditioned, although they seemed a bit pricey. The hotel provides excellent value for those looking for an unconventional yet artistically inspiring stay.
My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms are all unique and comfortable, some with balconies to soak up the sun. The service was top-notch, with staff who were always polite and very accommodating. The location is perfect, right on the edge of Old San Juan with easy access to all the sights and experiences. While the dining options were limited, the facilities were well-kept and enjoyable.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The ocean view room I stayed in was a bit outdated, but the quiet internal room was cozy despite being a little dark with not much natural light. The service throughout my visit was gracious and very interesting, especially after spending three nights there. The location, although great for walking around Old San Juan, had some weak points in the rooms. The dining experience was a bit standard, with room for improvement in offering fresh fruit and oatmeal. Overall, the hotel has its charms but could benefit from some updates.
