Once a nun convent, now a gorgeous hotel with a perfect location in Old San Juan. It was easy to walk around and site see. Wine and cheese offered on the terrace provided a beautiful and relaxing view of the city. Truly enjoyed our stay.

Gorgeous hotel. Loved the wine and cheese reception and the plunge pool. Our room was nice and clean.
The only downside was that the elevator was broken. Thankfully the staff helped us with our luggage.
The hotel did apologize for the broken elevator and were visibily working to get it fixed.
I only stayed for one night, and would like to stay longer during a future trip.
Really, can't recommend this place enough.
