Stayed just one night on our way back out on a cruise and went ahead and splurged a little on this hotel....it was worth it. So centrally located so you can walk to everything and just a really nice hotel, nice rooms, very clean and the staff was just awesome! My family had three rooms there to celebrate my parents...

My wife and I just returned from our honeymoon in San Juan. We were there for 4 nights, and spent 3 nights at El Convento (the other was at a large resort). We had high expectations for the property given what we had read - and El Convento did not disappoint! The front desk staff is amongst the nicest we... More

My husband and I spent one night at Hotel El Convento after a 4 night stay at one of PR's large resorts. From the moment we arrived the staff were welcoming and friendly, offering to secure our bags (we were early for check-in) so we could begin to explore the city. They provided us with a map and some locally... More

El Convento was an old convent until it was converted into a hotel. The hotel is quite simply one of the most beautiful hotels you'll find in the Caribbean. We were staying here for the final part of our honeymoon. We mentioned this when we checked in early, only because they asked us where we were coming from. Anyway, our... More

Most leisure travels might like this hotel if you are willing to accept some discomfort, staff is usually helpful, and location is great if you want to be in Old San Juan, but not recommended for business. Internet does not work consistently in the hotel. This is my fifth stay here and the problem remains regardless of the room. Mosquitos... More

From a very warm welcome from Annette at Reception to a charming room with Aveda products to a thoughtful "club room" with complimentary refreshments, this period gem in an unbeatable historic location, has it all. Reserve early for week-end stays, as it gets booked up in advance.

We had a layover in San Juan and decided to spend the night at the El Convento. Wow...I wish we had more time to spend at the El Convento. This boutique hotel is rich with history and charming as can be. The nightly wine reception was a fantastic way to start the evening and dinner on the first floor courtyard... More

We were excited and thrilled to have booked a stay at this hotel due to the high ratings. We arrived at 11am; exhausted from driving all over from getting lost, the hot weather, etc. We were told check-in was not until 3pm. So we waited downstairs, in the courtyard of the hotel. It was a nice courtyard, but there was... More

We stayed for five days and very much enjoyed this lovely small hotel with amazing features. Of course, the staff was highly attentive and charming and the service excellent, but it is a beautiful building. The arches, the interior courtyard that the rooms overlook, the courtyard restaurant and bar, the heavy wooden staircases, the tiles on stair risers and on... More
