Loved staying in this historic site. Beautiful property, great location to restaurants, shopping, and El Moro. It can be difficult to find parking if arriving later in the day, some of the parking decks nearby were full when we checked.

We ended up staying here due to a bad VRBO Host experience. Hotel El Convent was AMAZING! The hotel is absolutely timeless and beautiful. The ONLY thing I would recommend for guests not to have is a car. If you decide to stay here, please do it, but don't rent a car. Either Uber or scooter around. Otherwise, great experience, customer service, cleaniness, attention, hospitality.....GREAT!!!!!

The concierge was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, and we had a great stay overall. The only thing worth noting is that there is construction on one side of the hotel, which may cause some daytime noise.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The hotel caters to adults - couples. It is not family-friendly. Staff is clearly annoyed by larger families and children. Service is nonexistent, especially in the restaurant. We spend 2 hours on breakfast - first - waiting to be seated, then waiting that the order will be taken, and finally - for the food to be brought. There were several couples who were seated after us, and they all received food way before us. Breakfast vouchers included 2 drinks per person. When chilren ordered 2 juices - the waiter was very annoyed and said it was too much juice, and he can't remember everything we ordered. Either train your staff to work with families or clearly state that it is an adult-only hotel. Cute idea to use the vintage building with rich history, but with that come outdated amenities, mold, etc. Cleanliness is average. Location is great - in the middle of old town, but it is very-very noisy, with people yelling and singing outside until very late, and taxis cannot reach hotel - so you have to walk with your suitcases a couple of blocks

Our stay was outstanding. The breakfast exceeded expectations with great quality and variety. The staff across the entire property was exceptional—consistently attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. Their service made our visit especially enjoyable. The hotel’s location is excellent—situated within easy walking distance of restaurants, historic sites, and all the key attractions in Old San Juan.

This hotel stay would have received 5 stars if I had been informed of the main floor construction when I made the reservation. A timeless, beautiful hotel in a superb area of Old San Juan. I would stay here again when weddings aren't in full swing. A little tricky trying to get to one's room without stepping on the bride's gown and a bit noisy for this small hotel.

We loved the hotel! The room was nice, though we saw some with better views, it was quiet, the courtyard was very nice for relaxing, the pool was tiny but actually worked out fine. They also have a hot tub next to the pool which is on the roof top. The location was perfect! It’s a fun, walkable City with lots of great food options! The staff were very nice and extremely attentive.
