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.

This hotel was amazing! Very beautiful and exactly what I was looking for while staying in old San Juan. The rooms had everything we needed and room service was great! The AC was amazing!!! The staff were so nice and accommodated unexpected changes we encountered with no issue! Cute bar area and pool was super cute on the rooftop and oversees the ocean and city!
