A historical site, conveniently located in the heart of San Juan. Accessible, beautiful grounds, comfortable rooms. Parking is impossible, unless you pay in the parking lot. Staff are now always easy to communicate with; made mistakes with reservations. Breakfast options could be better. Nice views of the town.

Great location, but not worth the money. The property needs maintenance, definitely not as in the video. I had stayed in old historical hotels before were everything was impeccable, this one definitely needs work
Liked: It's charming, great location, room very clean - and renovated-; front desk - excellent service!
Didn't like: Menu at the restaurant - limited in terms of variety. It should offer a lighter selection (e.g. quesadillas, a soup, etc.)
Once a nun convent, now a gorgeous hotel with a perfect location in Old San Juan. It was easy to walk around and site see. Wine and cheese offered on the terrace provided a beautiful and relaxing view of the city. Truly enjoyed our stay.
Beautiful hotel. Historic property. In the middle of everything. Nice coffee service and wine and cheese at five. Pleasant bar and restaurant in courtyard. One of the nicest places I have been to. Complimentary bottle of wine a nice touch
