The hotel staff were very courteous and attentive. The breakfast in Patio Nispero was excellent. It is a charming, historical hotel and it is well located for sightseeing in San Juan.

This hotel is certainly a gem. The room decor is authentic Puerto Rico with a small terrace. The staff is friendly and was very helpful in recommending restaurants with good food and low price points. The hotel has a nice fitness center and library with a computer. Bottled water, coffee and various beverages are available free of charge 24/7. I can?t say enough about the hotel's location in the heart of old San Juan. We were within walking distance to all of the shops, restaurants and historical sites in the area. It was great to be able to walk around the city and return to our hotel for a brief rest before venturing out again - without any time constraints associated with a guided tour.
AWESOME!!

This hotel was amazing!!! The first room they gave us we weren't quite satisfied with so they immediately moved us to a different one. The rooms are gorgeous with extremely high ceilings in some. The staff are really, really friendly. Where you are staying is absolutely beautiful authentic Puerto Rican style. I have no complaints about the hotel. The only thing is yoru about 15 min. from the beach, so you would have to take a cab or rent a car. We rented from Charlie cars for $21 for a day. We then went to see Biscayne Bay which was cool,but not so cool if you are afraid of kayaking in the dark!IF you do that, def. do the kayak, you can't see the water from the boat trips. I would definitely stay at Hotel El Convento again. It was beautiful.
Wonderful Experience

If you want to get away from the casino hotels and a little closer to the Puerto Rican flavor,
Hotel El Convento is possibly the best place in San Jaun to spend time in a beautiful setting.
The Hotel Staff went out of their way to make our stay a great memory and helpful in so many ways, arranging tours and interesting restaurants in the old town.
The people of Puerto Rico were all pleasant and helpful each day of our stay!
The transportation arranged online was excellent and always on time.
The city was clean, beautiful and we had a wonderful holiday.

Hotel Convento was everything I expected and more. A friend and I stayed here for a week. The staff is very professional and quickly responded to any requests we had. The rooms are nicely decorated with period furniture. The pool is small but sufficient. Nice to cool off in after being in the hot tub. The fitness room had cardio equipment along with free weights and a workout machine.
