I will start with the good stuff. The location is amazing…literally across the street from San Cristobal. And just being anywhere in Puerto Rico is magical. The unit itself is really big, the bed is huge, and the bedroom has a built in hammock. Also, the front desk staff are very nice. The bad - the check in process is a little confusing…the keys are in a hotel couple blocks away, and we got our keys and went back, only to find our unit wasn’t at the address listed, but on a wholly different street. But most importantly, like others mentioned, the place is a dump. I know it’s old, so it could be rustic or shabby chic, but it’s just gross in so many ways. Yuck. But it didn’t take away from a wonderful time in PR.

We had an amazing stay. It was placed in a great part of Old San Juan. Allowed us to eat, visit, and shop comfortably. We had easy access to and from the airport. The staff was friendly, the coffee was delicious, and the roof top was enjoyable! Definitely recommend staying and enjoying the city!

To find location go to 262 Sol for he lobby open 24/7. The streets that are parallel to each other have the same numbers across, so the street next over and the building next to it also says 262. Make sure you're on the street before the the street that connects along the fortres "Sol". Then my building was in 413 Sol. So it's one of those places where you check in somewhere and then stay somewhere else. The condition seems sketchy and old but when you get to your room, you realize that you have a prime spot in a great location, I had a balcony that was right across the street from the ocean and the fortress. Could literally not have been in a better location. Was a whole apartment. A few small bugs here and there but not on the bed, mostly by the sinks. The building is old, very old, but updated with acceptable appliance, great TV. The floor is always dirty no matter how much you clean it, so wear socks all the time. I personally as a young male alone, I was thrilled with my room. This place was perfect other than the flooring and the light bug problem. If you can get over those small factors of having a hard time finding it and the older condition this is the best place I think I've ever stayed. Price the and location outweighed everything in my mind.

Address on this property is incorrect. The address is 413 Calle Sol. The building is older than pictured. The kitchen and bathroom had ants but this is common in old buildings. The windows opened onto the inner stairway, the front windows were barred closed. The positives was value for money, location and huge size. The bed was new which was great. Couches are stained and shower is small.

This is not a hotel. We stayed for four nights and we requested bath towels and a soap through text. Text didn’t do anything so we had to go get towels. Location and the view from balcony were great. We killed 2 cockroaches in the bathroom.

We liked the convenience of walking around Old San Juan and dining around the area too. We liked the view very much. The building is old and needs updates on windows, doors which are not very secure, and bathroom is outdated and tiny. Also, we suggest disclosing the fact that the building has no elevator as we are older and had to carry our luggage up to the 3rd floor on a very narrow and deeply inclined staircase.

Well the view is Amazing! But the room was bad the first night there was a leak in the bedroom from the ceiling. All we heard the first night was dripping, we also had to sweep and mop the floors there was a lot of dust. We also had to clean the bathroom and the living room furniture was all stained and dirty. You can see from the ceiling there had been a really bad leak. With all that said they did come and fix the leak the next morning (when checked in after 6 maintenance was gone for the day). They also offered to have someone come clean the room the next day but we did it ourselves. The living room ceiling didn’t work and the only ac unit is in the bedroom. But the bed was very comfortable to have been an older mattress the water was hot and it did look like they are up dating the building.

Location was perfect right in the heart. I didn’t complain while staying there but omg paint chips kept falling from ceilings, bathroom shower poles kept falling down and hair everywhere in bathroom. Tile floor in bathroom very dirty. The bathroom was the grossest. The place didn’t feel at all clean sofa was stained dirty… like I said the location perfect but my God the place needs upkeep and super dirty. Not what it looks like in pics. Sorry but not sorry.

Old San Juan

The stay started off poorly because the hotel does not have a drop off section and you have to check in two blocks away. This was not communicated to us. The room was good sized with a LR, Kitchen, and BR. The ceiling fan in the LR didn't work but the one in the BR did. The bed was a comfortable King. The windows were metal slats that gapped and allowed in a fair amount of sound. There was a rain storm one day and the roof in the bathroom leaked. There was a puddle of water in the bathroom. This was made all the worse because there were only two towels in the whole place. We needed those for showers. Also no wash clothes.

When we checked in, our property we rented 6 months ago and verified two days before we were told had water damage and the balcony needed repair, so they put us in the hotel there on property, at no time was I offered any compensation, I was told this space they put us in was more expensive than the ocean front apartment. I feel as though many problems could be overlooked by waking up and at least looking at the ocean. Let me just say the staff was very helpful with questions and problems, I know it isn't their fault, but the hotel was running off of generator for two days and we were on the third floor, so the elevator did not work. The ice machine in the fridge was not working, dishwasher not working, the showers have no pressure and there was enough hair in the sink drain that you could make a wig. We stayed for 4 nights and all in all we were safe, the area is residential with a couple bars and nice resturant on the same street. Just feel as though they should have in some way compensated for the loss of scenery that we did not get to experience.

Good but needs a lot of improvement.

Mixed experience. I can split this in two. The good the view is amazing and the location is premium in Old San Juan. The not so good, the mattresses are uncomfortable and old, one of them have a dip that’s very noticeable. The furniture is old. When I checked in the host at the hotel told me “the view is amazing, unless it rains, the. It’s not so much. So, it did rain overnight ñ, I left the windows half open and when I woke up in the morning I had water all the way into the kitchen. The bathroom is very small which I don’t mind much, but the sink is so small that you make a mess when you are brushing your teeth. Also no elevators, and a leak by the balcony door.

This is the view from the bed closer to the balcony.

Great Value for budget savvy seasoned travelers

The view and location are amazing like most others have noted, and the beds are very comfortable. The place is older and could use some TLC, but it is very clean and comfortable with an excellent mini split AC unit, ceiling fans/wall fans. Acessibility - Two large steps to enter through heavy metal gate, then there are two flights of narrow stairs, then 15 feet hallway and across a small open patio, a short walkway. and two steps up to reach The Balcony Apartment. It was no problem as we are active, youngish and healthy. though, if you have a physical disability, an aging travel companion, or are generally very inactive, this would probably not be the best choice. Especially as parking is hard to come by and nearest parking garage is about 4-5 blocks away. The kitchen while aged, (as is most of the furnishings) and clearly effected by being in a tropical environment has everything needed and nice quality of utensils/pans etc., and is super clean and in good working order. Mostly quiet except on weekend nights when cars (with the bass up lol)seem to cruise the narrow street between the building and the San Cristobal Park across the street (above the ocean). Even so, it was quiet by midnight. and not disruptive to our hanging out or sleeping. Overall an excellent spot for the money, if you do not require lavish accommodations. If you expect a Hilton or boutique place, probably not for you. I would totally stay here again. A great location, view and value.

I had booked this property because our flight had got cancelled and we had to stay an extra 3 days. it was the cheapest so i wasnt expecting nothing fancy. u have 2 get your key from one location nd then walk to the apartment building. the hallways r very thin so if youre wideset it would be hard to go up the stairs. i had reserved the ocean view room. everything was put up but the floors were not mopped. i could not walk barefoot or my feet would turn black. there was dirt everywhere. the wifi did not work but we had service so it wasnt an issue for us. the tv was connected to the wifi but would go in and out so we had to unplug it multiple times to get it to stream. the stove was very old and only 2 burners worked. the room with the ocean view was very hot but if you kept the door open and the outside door closed at night it could get cold. the view was beautiful... we loved sitting outside nd looking at the water. and the location was in old san juan so everything we needed was in walkable distance. laundromat/grocery store/ and other shops. like i said... this was a last minute booking so i wasnt expecting nothing spectacular but the view and location made up for it and we still made it work.

A lot of the negative reviews stem from the fact that people do not thoroughly read prior to booking. The listing definitely states that not only is the property address a different location from the check-in location, but it’s only stair assessable. Checking in was easy and the property was only about 2- 2 1/2 blocks away 4min walk! I had the Ocean View room and was met w| nice AC upon walking in and the view is absolutely beautiful! Walking distance from just about anything perfect location! Now there were some downs, such as I did not receive check in instructions until 12AM the day of travel after being told I’d get them the day before, both checking in and out no one was at the front desk I was saying hello with no response someone came about 7mins after. The walls of the property and rooms look much older than the pictures used for the listing. The painting doesn’t look fresh, some cracks and water bubble damage which is why people are saying it isn’t clean. The Wi-Fi also didn’t work. With the property being on sort of a main road if you’re a light sleeper the vehicles and loud larger groups of people having conversations passing by will wake you. The Wi-Fi also did not work. If you’re looking for something modern and have health issues with getting up and down stairs and are a light sleeper I wouldn’t recommend for you. For a solo traveler, couple or group of 4 on a budget I’d defn recommend! I really do believe once they take the time renovate the place it’ll be one

Big problem with ants. Needs updating inside. Only one key and you had to have key to come OR go because you could not open from the inside without key either, which is really hard with a group who won't necessarily be together all the time. The bed in the balcony bedroom groaned and sqeaked with every single move anyone made. Has a stove, but nothing to cook on it with, and no microwave. No hot water.

Check in is a nightmare they should do a lock code on the gate and a lock box on the apartment. There is no parking you have to go to a different location to check in again no parking it’s down town old San Juan crowded narrow streets. People yelling at you the desk clerk telling me at 2:30 check isn’t til 3 and it’s insane there is no way I was getting back around and to the apartment by3:00 anyway. There are two glasses one pan no salt pepper or any supplies only coffe no tea and enough toilet paper for ONE day we were there Three. The ONLY THING that was good was the view. A total wreck of an experience

Ocean Views - It is an old building so you cannot expect perfect conditions. The main bedroom was also the living area, comfortable very large bed and good air conditioner. There was a 2nd bedroom that wasn’t needed by us but was good for drying the washing as it was so hot, in warmer weather it wouldn’t be possible to sleep in there. If it rained too hard water came under the door in the very hot room, but bath towels helped. The fridge and cooker were excellent, minimal cooking utensils. The stairs to get upstairs were narrow but doable by us. Great location, fantastic views. I would stay there again if the opportunity came up.
