Great location, great rooms, awesome staff. Really, there's nothing I didn't like about this place. Not only would I recommend it, I'd stay there again. Seriously this was exactly what we were looking for in a hotel experience.
EL CONVENTO - too bad it soooo far from California. We stayed at this spectacular hotel for 4 nights and would go back in a heartbeat. Awesome ! The building , history,location and "oh my" , the wine on the rooftop at sunset... Forget the beach , the small pool is lovely. Hotel is expensive but so worth the experience !
My husband and I stayed here for a day after a very active and tiring 7-day cruise. Upon arriving on a Sunday, we were greeted with the ethereal sound of prayer coming from the cathedral across the street. The hotel was absolutely beautiful, with gorgeous vaulted ceilings and arched doors and windows. Even though the building was old, the amenities ...

Absolutely Beautiful!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/16/08
From the minute we pulled up until we left everything about our stay was incredible! The location in Old San Juan made it possble for us to enjoy walking around the city or we could just enjoy the beautiful architecture of the hotel itself. The room was great with views of the city and the water. The staff was curtious and very helpful. We would definitely stay here again!

Very nice hotel
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/29/08
I stayed here for 4 nights. It was very nice hotel. I read on other sites about others who had problems (overcharges, lack of service, etc.) but I had no problems. The hotel staff were very friendly. It is a bit on the expensive side, but it was definately worth the splurge. I hope to stay there again.
great location in the old city. service could be better. if you are looking for charm it is a great place but inconvient if you want the beach unless you have a car. the gym is lacking. the rooms could be a little nicer for what they charge you.

spend 4 lovely days and looking forward to the next trip back to Old San Juan at the El Convento
Like? Loved every mojito moment with the great staff at the Hotel El Convento. From the gals at the front desk, the warmth of the wait staff, to the barkeeps upstairs...you guys rocked! Much thanks to all, especially Lucas at the el picoteo. Thanks, bro! Concepcion, muchas gracias for keeping me cool with lots of Concepcion Especiales. We had a large group that weekend (50 or so) and all were taken care of. We shall return.

very good
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/07/07
i liked that there was service every where whereever i turned there was service but not in a bads way this hotle is very fancy and classy which is another reason i liked this hotel and i would go back there any time if i had the money
What we liked was the Old world feel that the cozy boutique style hotel brings. The History of the Convento extends back 3 centuries. Its almost a shame that its a hotel and not a museam or still a convent. I consider it a good splurge but at $240 or so a night USD it needs a few more features. But service and the helpfullness of the staff make ...
