Top Plaza de Armas Hotel Reviews

Decanter Hotel

8/10 Good

"Coffee machine was broken , disappointed to learn there was, no restaurant in hotel"

EL Colonial Hotel Open Bar Adults Only

8/10 Good

"Stayed for one night before a cruise - location was perfect for sightseeing in Old San Juan. Chose an interior room - a little cramped but was fine for a night. Bed was super comfy, staff were very nice. Drinks in the lobby were a nice touch, as well. Super safe, luggage drop off was a great perk, too."

Hotel El Convento

8/10 Good

"This hotel is 4.5. The location is excellent; the building is charming with a fantastic interior courtyard filled with tropical plants and a very good bar. My one reservation is about the flexibility of breakfast when included in your room rate. You are given a voucher for each morning meal and it is good for only 1 item on the menu. No substitutions , ie you can’t use the monetary value of the coupon to purchase any other item. Very boring and a policy that seems too restrictive for a member of a luxury hotel group. The rooftop pool is also closed for renovation. An alternate arrangement is available across the street. The arrangements to visit the beach at Isla Verde are seamless but require a $30 cab ride each way."

Hotel Milano

8/10 Good

"It is centrally located and Near shops and restaurants. Because of narrow street staff were helpful in taking luggage. Staff was courteous and friendly. The room which we stayed had no windows. Would of been helpful to have additional luggage rack and more accessible outlets. There was only one on the far wall not by the bed sides."
