We had a bad experience elsewhere in the City, called El Convento after a sleepless night. Could they book us a room for tonight? Could we check in early? Front deck clerk Christine asnwered yes to both questions and turned our Old San Juan nightmare into a wonderful 24 hours! The room was beautiful- clean, quiet and elegant. The property... more

My co-worker and I recently spent a week at el Convento and loved every minute. The decor and history of the hotel is wonderful and the minute you enter the hotel it is very peaceful and calming. I loved the turndown service in the evening and returning to my room after dinner to beautiful music. The wine and cheese in... more

Well, we stayed here in November 2007, sorry it took me so long to do this, I completely forgot! Anyway, we were there for a very close friends wedding, it was great! From check in to check out, the employees were very friendly and attentive to our needs! Our room was small, as expected, but cozy and romantic! We had... more

We spent 2 nights at this hotel over the Easter holiday. Check-in was a lengthy process since the front desk manager gave us a smaller room than the one we booked and attempted to convince us that we were incorrect despite our having paperwork documenting our specific reservation. This problem was resolved after a few hours and we did receive... more

The hotel is really beautiful and perfectly situated in Old San Juan. There aren't many hotel options so if you can afford it, we'd definitely recommend El Convento. We stayed in two rooms (see below) and both were unique, comfortable, clean and beautiful. Unfortunately we were in OSJ for such a short time that we didn't enjoy many of the... more

We stayed only one night in San Juan before our cruise and we chose the El Convento based on others reviews on TripAdvisor. I was so happy we did! Even though it is in the middle of bustling Old San Juan, you feel as though you've entered a sanctuary with a lovely courtyard and big rooms. We opted for one... more

We spent three days at El Convento before debarking on a cruise and those three days were wonderful, ammenities are above most exclusive hotels. Our problem arose on our return from the cruise. We had reservations for one night before flying home. We wanted to relax after the cruise and not rush to the airport. However, that last day almost... more

Located in Old San Juan, this former convent is now a charming small luxury hotel. It is located directly across a blue-sheen cobblestone street from San Juan Cathedral, the city's main Catholic Church. The hotel was recommended to us for our one-night stay prior to our cruise by the Royal Caribbean agent, and it is a treasure. The El Convento... more

From the moment we arrived, to the moment we left, we loved this hotel. Except, that is, for the times when we were in our room. But even with that caveat, this is an excellent hotel, and I would stay there again in a heartbeat. The room: The room was fairly small. The bed was small. The bathroom was small.... more
