Fabulous hotel experience. Incredible historical building and they've done such a great job to keep that authentic feeling, truly a joy to explore just the hotel itself. Location also couldnt be better, calm and quiet, yet less than 1min walk to where the social life is. Staff is very attentive, friendly and professional, you truly feel treated like a VIP. The hotel was doing some light renovations when I was there, and they had to cut the power for a few hours, but the staff was so accommodating it didn't bother me at all. Griseliz and her team in the reception made the stay so comfortable and enjoyable. I can't wait to come back again! Also Trixie the house cat wandering around is super cute

Excellent service! Anna at the host stand was welcoming and kind, and Andrea was a fantastic waitress—attentive, friendly, and fast. She provided great recommendations for the brunch. Made our visit a real pleasure. The hotel is very beautiful and with lots of history.

We stayed one night at El Convento for the wedding of our son and now lovely wife. It was perfect for us to get ready before the ceremony at Plazuela La Rogativa and for the reception at El Convento. The room had a beautiful view to the San Juan Bay and was the perfect backdrop for the pictures before the wedding. The hotel is a very special colonial building and the rooms are modern and updated. Many thanks to the Director of Catering Fabiola Cruz for her support during the planning of the wedding reception- since we met during the wedding menu tasting to the day of the wedding ( even helping us -at the last minute- finding a tuxedo bow tie). Fabiola and her team swiftly partnered with the wedding coordinator and other suppliers making the celebration one very special! Thanks to all!
