Check in is a nightmare they should do a lock code on the gate and a lock box on the apartment. There is no parking you have to go to a different location to check in again no parking it’s down town old San Juan crowded narrow streets. People yelling at you the desk clerk telling me at 2:30 check isn’t til 3 and it’s insane there is no way I was getting back around and to the apartment by3:00 anyway. There are two glasses one pan no salt pepper or any supplies only coffe no tea and enough toilet paper for ONE day we were there Three. The ONLY THING that was good was the view. A total wreck of an experience

We had an amazing stay. It was placed in a great part of Old San Juan. Allowed us to eat, visit, and shop comfortably. We had easy access to and from the airport. The staff was friendly, the coffee was delicious, and the roof top was enjoyable! Definitely recommend staying and enjoying the city!

Ocean Views - It is an old building so you cannot expect perfect conditions. The main bedroom was also the living area, comfortable very large bed and good air conditioner. There was a 2nd bedroom that wasn’t needed by us but was good for drying the washing as it was so hot, in warmer weather it wouldn’t be possible to sleep in there. If it rained too hard water came under the door in the very hot room, but bath towels helped. The fridge and cooker were excellent, minimal cooking utensils. The stairs to get upstairs were narrow but doable by us. Great location, fantastic views. I would stay there again if the opportunity came up.

A literal stones throw from San Cristobal!!

I rented this apartment on accident, and I couldn’t be more pleased. The place was amazing. It was so close to San Cristobal, and just a short walk to Del Morro. You won’t be disappointed.

Not as advertised

There small apartment with a king size bed, I originally booked two beds, sofa bed had no sheets, I had to call the from desk that by the way was a few blocks away, no bathroom amenities and bedbugs bite me during my stay there. I have bites all over my body. I was really excited to stay in san juan city center but this was an unpleasant stay.

Address on this property is incorrect. The address is 413 Calle Sol. The building is older than pictured. The kitchen and bathroom had ants but this is common in old buildings. The windows opened onto the inner stairway, the front windows were barred closed. The positives was value for money, location and huge size. The bed was new which was great. Couches are stained and shower is small.

To be honest was terrible. First I had some delays so we call to let them know that maybe we will miss the Saturday reservation, on that call she said it’s fine don’t worry. But then when I get the on Sunday 13, straight to the address is there, there’s no way to go in or nothing so when I call they said “you have to walk 4mis distance to check in” now my point is: why there’s no information of that in the emails or even in the call I did the day before. So we all the luggage I had to walk over there. Then we get there and the front desk is talking about how the phone is non stop and she can’t answer. Like a people are lost how we supposed to resolve ?! Only 1 toilet paper for 4 people, there’s only one air conditioner in the first part so if the other bedrooms close the door for privacy they will die w no air or breeze. They need to make some arrangements to that over there

Well the view is Amazing! But the room was bad the first night there was a leak in the bedroom from the ceiling. All we heard the first night was dripping, we also had to sweep and mop the floors there was a lot of dust. We also had to clean the bathroom and the living room furniture was all stained and dirty. You can see from the ceiling there had been a really bad leak. With all that said they did come and fix the leak the next morning (when checked in after 6 maintenance was gone for the day). They also offered to have someone come clean the room the next day but we did it ourselves. The living room ceiling didn’t work and the only ac unit is in the bedroom. But the bed was very comfortable to have been an older mattress the water was hot and it did look like they are up dating the building.

This is not a hotel. We stayed for four nights and we requested bath towels and a soap through text. Text didn’t do anything so we had to go get towels. Location and the view from balcony were great. We killed 2 cockroaches in the bathroom.

We liked the convenience of walking around Old San Juan and dining around the area too. We liked the view very much. The building is old and needs updates on windows, doors which are not very secure, and bathroom is outdated and tiny. Also, we suggest disclosing the fact that the building has no elevator as we are older and had to carry our luggage up to the 3rd floor on a very narrow and deeply inclined staircase.

Disappointed and Heartbroken

Originally,I booked a room for La Capitana. I booked 2 beds with Ocean View. However, I received a message letting me know that my original booked room was unavailable due to them remodeling the building. They sent me to a sister property down the road. Although the room at La Terraza was beautiful, it was not what I booked. I was disappointed and heartbroken. The room they gave me lacked any privacy at all. The bathroom had a frosted door with no lock. Anyone that was in the room can hear what you had going on in the bathroom. No Privacy to change your clothes as the bathroom area was completely open to the main room. Had I known that this was the case before I booked La Capitana I would of booked my stay somewhere else with 2 rooms as I originally intended. La Capitana should be removed as an option for booking until it is completely fixed. This was false advertising if you ask me. I should of been given some money back for my inconvenience.

Balcony Room with a Fantastic View

The ocean view from our room was amazing. We stayed in a balcony room. The room itself is old and not fancy, but it's supposed to be old and not fancy. The service was excellent as well. The room is up two flights of stairs. If you don't want to haul your luggage upstairs, this room is not for you. But if you do, it's worth it.
