Loved the historical building with some old world charm with rooms being up to date with all amenities. Our room had a squeaky mattress when sitting on the edge of the bed. Also, no hot water in the shower…..but would stay there again!

Did not like that there was no fridge in the room. Only offer hot complementary beverages. They should offer cold beverages and cold water. It is too hot outside for hot coffee and chocolate

This was not my favorite Old San Juan experience.

The room was tiny and oddly laid out. The bed was an Ikea style murphy bed with a broken frame, the balcony was spacious with nice views, but the metal furniture was showing rust and the plastic lounge chairs had no cushions, so they were hard, hot and uncomfortable. At check in, I was asked for a credit card, and told it was for a $250 charge if I smoked in the room. I don't smoke anything, so I had no issues. When we returned from dinner, the lobby smelled of Marijuana so strongly, that both my husband and i asked if we got to charge a smoking deposit, to the hotel staff... there were no other guests in the lobby, only the night clerk. Who, I might add, was very nice and did offer assistance with the broken bed frame. The common spaces are lovely, and I now understand that the room I rented doubles as a conference room, with 2 adjoining rooms. But sleeping on an Ikea quality murphy bed was not the Old San Juan experience I was promised. Decanter, will not be my first choice next time I visit P.R.

We loved Hotel Decanter. The staff was really sweet and helpful giving us ideas on good food and places to go eat or drink. Old San Juan is beautiful but it can be difficult to walk with the uneven pavement, 16th century cobble stone streets, and hilly terrain. That said, staying here made navigating old town San Juan a breeze! You are never more than 2-3 blocks from anything you could possibly want to do or see down there, so the location is ideal!! We had a French Balcony room. It was clean and spacious. Lots of natural light during the day. Girls may want to bring a small lighted vanity mirror though as the only mirror in the room was not in a well lit area. If I was forced to find a fault with the room, it would be that the French balcony’s view was less than desirable. We faced toward the cathedral which was fine but the neighbors have roof top access and that was apparently where they let their two dogs relieve themselves. So our rooftop view was mostly dog excrement. To be fair, that isn’t the hotel’s fault. But, if I was going to stay here again, which I 100% would do and would recommend anyone do, I probably wouldn’t pay for a balcony room and would be content with an interior room. Another real perk of staying at hotel decanter is the rooftop bar. We didn’t have any of the food but the menu had some delicious tapas. The drinks were fantastic, and the view was good. The best part was the cooling breeze. I recommend ending your evening here. Overall, loved our stay!

We had an amazing experience at the Decanter hotel. From the moment of our arrival we noticed the welcoming attitude of the reception staff. They were very informative and answered all our questions as far as places to go. The room was clean and very spacious with many amenities including microwave and wine glasses. The A/C was fantastic! The coffee machine in the atrium was one of our favorite perks. The bar at the restaurant was will stocked and the appetizers were amazing. Roberto took care of us at the bar and he was great. We went to the roof top and that was our favorite place. The drinks, the staff and the service were top notch. Katia's customer service and friendliness should be the standard for all in the industry! We enjoyed the roof top so much that we visited three times and look forward to visiting them in the future. Thank you Decanter for the great experience!
