Gorgeous Property
Gorgeous hotel, would love to stay there again! The room was very comfortable and well appointed. We ate in the hotel restaurant and the food was delicious! A nice touch was the bottle of wine welcoming us to Puerto Rico. They also had a wine and cheese happy hour.
Robert, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Unforgettably Wonderful!
When staying in Old San Juan, we always stay at El Convento. It's absolutely centrally-located and easy walking distance to everything. However, also far enough from the main plazas that it is quiet in the evenings. The staff are friendly and go out of their way to accommodate. A BIG thank you to Jesus, our favorite bartender! He was amazing and always with a smile. The front desk was incredibly helpful with local 'must-go' suggestions including best time to visit. And, a smiling thank you to our room steward who stopped by every evening with chocolates! El Convento is wonderful and and an unforgettable experience!

8/10 Very good

Great location and beautiful old property. The rooftop pool is about the size of a hot tub. The marketing material makes it look bigger!
Thomas, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our stay was exceptional. Even though we were redirected to another hotel the first night, the hotel staff made sure we were probably taking care of. Hotel is super charming, the staff is very helpful, and friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. Overall, a very pleasant stay. A special mention to Antonio at the reception for going above and beyond.

Great location and lovely historic building
Location was perfect and renovation of this lovely historic building (was a convent years ago) in to a hotel was nicely done. Room was spacious and comfortable with a great view out over the church square.
Keely, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very Nice Stay
The location was perfect - right in the heart of Old San Juan. The history associated with this hotel was so interesting! They offered an historic tour of the facility, along with wine and cheese each evening. The restaurant was great! The staff was so kind. Our only complaint was that we couldn't quite get the air conditioner to a comfortable temperature.
