I really like this hotel. I was in room 305. Take note there isn't any elevators but only 4 floors..if that's deciding factor for you. My room was great for me as a solo traveler. Staff were really nice even though I didn't personally have much interaction with them but when I happened to walk by they were chatting pleasantly with guest. There's a food truck lot down the street with a wide variety of food and drinks and other food available (subway, Domino's, etc). Lots of stuff in walking distance even the La Placita hot spot...a 20 minute walk. No fridge or coffee maker, which wasn't a big deal to me; not sure if they're in the bigger rooms but just an fyi. There is a rooftop area and gym equipment for those who want it, as well as an ice maker...just the right size. Don't go trying to fill up your Yetti fishing cooler. There is complimentary coffee and tea in the lobby and you can buy a few last minute items like phone chargers, beach towels rentals, etc.But there is a pharmacy about a block down the road. Lots of stuff you can walk to if you don't mind getting your steps in but of course you can Uber everywhere. I would definitely stay here again, would definitely recommend for the solo traveler or those wanting to avoid the big chains and having to pay resort fees.

Perfect. It was very nice inside the building. It was easy to find. The only inconvenience was finding parking. The staff sent me a text message with check-in information. However, they never answered the following questions regarding parking. Nonetheless, I did truly like the hotel. It smelled super clean. Everything was nicely organized. I would stay again. p.s. Loved the two European-style company cars up front.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Looking Glass Hotel. We spent six nights at this hotel, and wished we could have stayed longer.The staff were exceptional, as well as kind, and knowledgeable, and guide us every step of the way during our stay. Check in, and out, was so good, and smooth. Common areas, rooms, were sparkling clean.The staff's recommendations for restaurants, tours, attractions, and shopping areas, was very helpful as this was our first time visiting San Juan, Purto Rico. My family and I felt super safe, and comfortable. From the hotel, we were close to a 24 hour supermarket that carry various groceries, toiletries, hot foods, souvenirs, etc. Another pro is the hotel's location. This hotel is just ten minutes away from San Juan airport, which makes our vacation even better, without having to encounter long travel to and from the airport. Overall, I would encourage you to just book this hotel if you need comfort, cleanliness, and safety. We will definitely book again!

Stay April 2025

first of all parking was not included, it was an additional 25 per night plus tax, and the parking was a block away. Believe me it is very difficult to find parking on the street day or night. the room was very clean. The rooms lacked any type of sound proofing, it echoed pretty loud, in the middle of the night i can hear people using the bathroom. And you can here every conversation. the ear plugs on the night stand have been a give away.

The hotel accommodation was beyond our expectation. The Front Desk Clerk, Franny was extremely courteous and professional. Our interaction with her allowed us to have a memorable experience on our first visit to Puerto Rico. She is truly an asset to The Looking Glass Hotel and its customers. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to enjoy the local attractions and restaurants.

I rated Looking Glass good but they were excellent for what they were. We just didn’t realize they weren’t a full service hotel. No elevator, no restaurant, tiny room and they didn’t want toilet paper flushed due to the delicate plumbing. None of this would prevent us from staying again but know what you are booking. Very clean and friendly/helpful staff.
