      Aside from that -- the hotel was beautiful.
    • in February 10
      Every staff person with whom we interacted, including the hotel manager, Efrain Rosa and his sidekick - another Peter, who stopped us in the courtyard to see where we were from, bent over backyards to make sure we enjoyed our stay.

      This is a great hotel to see the forts and to enjoy old san juan.

      While others have said they love the hotel, we stayed at the El Convento two weeks ago and we were not thoroughly impressed with the hotel, or their desk service.
    • in April 10
      It was nice to be in a luxury hotel that didn't charge extra for internet!

      I would recommend this hotel very highly and I would stay there again.
    • in November 09
      Overall, my impression is that the hotel is a great property with nice amenities, but in light of its internal security issues I cannot comfortably recommend this hotel to anyone.

      The hotel is expensive but you'd be hard tested to find a better setting and better accommodations in the heart of Old San Juan.
  • no internet

Room

    • in April 10
      The room was clean, safe and quite pleasant, but the 'cordless telephone' was difficualt to use and it was hard to hear from any callers.
    • in September 09
      Our room was clean, neat and well appointed.
    • in April 10
      Despite being so close to amentities, I found the hotel quiet and peaceful, I felt safe, and the bed was comfortable .

      The suite was spacious and the beds were comfortable, highly recommended!
    • in March 10
      Comfortable beds.
    • in November 09
      The room itself was so cute and fun - bright colors, hand painted walls and furniture, and a great view of the water.
    • in January 10
      The room was large and had the two door for sound.
    • in October 09
      The good points of the room were a large flat screened T.
    • in October 09
      The room was large with a spotless bathroom, white bathrobe, LCD TV, and balcony with a view of the old town.
    • in January 10
      For the rest it was a nice room with ample space and nicely decorated.
    • in October 09
      We splurged and got a nice room and wanted to really live it up in San Juan before going to Utuado and staying in the forest.
    • in March 10
      It has a rooftop pool with a nice view from the terrace.
    • in January 10
      The bed was very comfortable.
    • in November 09
      The only downside was the size of the bed which was a double - would have been nicer to have a little larger bed, however the bed was very comfortable.
    • in October 09
      Nice touches for me include available coffee at all hours of the day, complimentary ethernet and wireless, the honor bar with drinks you can select yourself, the Bose radio, the easy to adjust air conditioning, power plugs in just the right places, tasteful furnishings, and the very comfortable bed.
    • in January 10
      The decor was blah, many pages were missing from the room service menu and I suspect my room had not been cleaned after the last guest - Many of the bathroom amenities were missing, the bath mat was on the floor beside the bed and the sheets were obviously dirty.
    • in November 09
      The only minor complaint I have was that our room was not cleaned timely due to a little misunderstanding.
    • in November 09
      Our room was not cleaned until later in the evening during their "Turndown round" or evening room setup.
    • in February 10
      Though our room was not ready (we arrived early) they immediately stored our luggage as well as took our cell number to call us when our room was prepared so that we could go out and about the town.

    • in November 09
      We really enjoy El Convento for its charm and fantastic location on OSJ,,, service is good (although inconsistent, seemed different guests got different information).

      La Concha was very nice, modern, sort of charmless but great service and gym.

    • in October 09
      The staff were very friendly and I truly felt welcome during my entire stay.
    • in April 10
      The only slow service I saw was when the printer at the two-station computer center was out of paper, but the front desk eventually gave me paper and I appreciated being able to print our boarding passes at the hotel.

      Great location with very nice rooms and fantastic staff.
    • in October 09
      great location is across from san juan cathedral, but out of the mainstream of busy boulevards.
    • in February 10
      Wedding tips: Use the El Convento wedding planners - Paola was ours and was awesome, get the Presidential suite for the nights around your wedding - it is a great place for the bride to get ready, use Patio Nispero for the ceremony, and use Salon Campache for the reception.
    • in January 10
      Most of the reviews are correct, great place for relax, in general is very clean, profecional service, every one is so nice.

      If you want luxury, comfort, perfect location, the friendliest and most gracious staff, first class accommodations you need to stay at El Convento.
    • in October 09
      The location was perfect for our needs and the food was good.
    • in January 10
      The lack of pool and beach was no big deal to us, because we had just come from staying outside of San Juan on the beach, but that is something to keep in mind if you are only staying at El Convento.
    • in November 09
      Because you are in Old San Juan, there is no beach within walking distance, but there's a beach just a 10-minute taxi ride away if you want to catch some rays, or you could just lay by the small hotel pool that over-looks Old San Juan and the bay.
