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.

Great location and magical coutyard.
The hotel is gorgeous! Service was a bit inconsistent especially with housekeeping. There is construction going on, and final day was especially bad. I do not recall having any forewarning of noise,

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.

Worth every penny if you want to enjoy Viejo San Juan. Staff was always willing to help and provide suggestions if needed. The hotel is one of a kind in architecture and decor with restaurants and a bar in the courtyard. No complaints and would love to visit again!

The history of the hotel is very unique. It is very well located with easy walking distance to El Morro, the port, restaurants and shopping. The staff is courteous and responsive. My only issue is service at the hotel restaurant is incredibly slow, it took a full 2 hours for breakfast. Perhaps it was just a bad day. I would stay at El Convento again.

Beautiful hotel with friendly and helpful staff. The elevators were not working to our floor so we needed help carrying our luggage. Parking is non existent, so we had to drive around and thankfully found a parking garage with available parking space. The parking is a little difficult to find if you drive your own car and or go on a popular time of year. The hotel overall is a beautiful place, and very clean and you can literally walk everywhere from there.

Excellent time during Tropical Storm Ernesto
Awesome experience every time. Polite & professional staff, from front desk to housekeeping to wait staff and even the gardeners! This stay we experienced for first time a tropical storm(Ernesto) while at El Convento. We were very fortunate to be there. The back up power generator kicked on automatically & it was like the power never went. For this reason and watching news about power loss & floods, we stayed extra night, comfortably. Excelente! 👍

Cool building, wonderful convenient location!
We had a great stay at El Convento. It was super clean, the rooms were very quiet at night, and the staff was outstanding and were quick and friendly to assist. The hotel restaurant is tasty for a quick breakfast. We would definitely stay here again next time we come to Old San Juan.
