I stayed here for 1 night after a cruise and then 1 night after a week on the island of vieques. The hotel is close to the isla grande airport (domestic airport(the local one good flights to Vieques), san juan and also an easy place to get a bus to the old town (if you are a confident traveller). Also very cheap on bus about 50cents or 75 cents one way to the old town!!!!! for a 10 min journey. Cost about $10 or $15, dollars by taxi from the cruise terminal to get here about 10 mins journey.

It is not really a hotel but a block of flats with a small reception area and a lift (no food provided or offered) My rooms did have a fridge. Very helpful receptionist. All very clean. On both nights I stayed here the room I was given was a big double with a balcony and big clean bathroom. It is not really top spec new, bathroom a bit dated but very solid with windows, but really clean, and not claustrophobic and quiet. This hotel is so much better value than most others I saw advertised. It is a good base from which to enjoy San Juan without paying ridiculous money. I booked via email - couldn't book direct by internet - had to phone up with credit card number. My first email wasn't really answered - better results by phoning. They are 5 hours behind UK.

I liked the area of Miramar which this hotel is based in. It is a relaxed suburb where it is easy to walk to the bank, pharmacy, late night supermarket and restaurants and take aways. There is a good restaurant right next door to the Olimpo which I didn't have time to visit but didn't look too expensive and looked fun. I had a good manicure and pedicure on the main road at end of street that the Olimpo is on (it is a hairdressers) . Not expensive and all very puerto rican and fun. No english really spoken.

For breakfast I also had a simple tasty breakfast with lovely egg on toast at cafe (green colour cafe) at end of street. It opens really early.

Taxi journeys seem to cost $10 one way what ever you do locally which i thought was expensive.. As mentioned I took the cheap bus to old town instead. Reception can help out with bus times. They run late and I used to come back about 9pm and felt safe. The buses run very regularly. I loved the old town of san juan. Lots of good restaurants and cafes and bars and south american music and energy. Lots of shopping also - some good factory shops for top brands eg Coast bags, Croc shoes, Ralph Lauren and loads more. Really beautiful buildings.

I got a ride to the international airport at the end of stay from the taxi rank outside the hotel which was good value. (can't remember exact amount!!!)

One other thing to note when I was there end of April it was a bit cloudy rainy - there was a tropical storm for a few days - after that it was good. May is the start of the rainy season here.

Room tip: Ask for a balcony and ask if its quiet

The rooms were simple but clean and with a lot of space. For a modest price we had a balcony with a view of the sea (even though there was also a large portion of car park in the view), a small fridge and microwave,a table and chairs to eat at, TV, plenty of space for clothes, a safe (though ours didn´t work) and good airconditioning. The people at the reception were friendly and very helpful, and the area was quiet and felt quite safe.
Overall, I´d recommend this place if you´re looking for somewhere cheap and comfortable.

I was in this hotel for a medical visit, and a friend recommend it to me. It was one of the most affordable priced hotel in the middle of Miramar, in San Juan, just between Ponce Ave. and Fernandez Junco Ave., with good transportation, good neighborhood, and good service.

Don't expect any plus service like in a Resort, nor a Jacuzzi or gym, but if you need to travel on a budget, and find a clean, good place to sleep and take a shower, this is the place.

We stayed a week. The price is perfect and it's location is great. The room, which was big & comfortable, included a microwave and a small fridge, which is great, because there's a supermarket at walking distance. There's also a movie theater, pharmacies, lot's of great places to eat, banks...Everything u need is at a walking distance. You can take public transportation (bus) for 50 cents and, in a couple of minutes, you're smack in the middle of Old San Juan. There are also lots of taxies, for those who don't want to take the bus, but it'll cost u $12. The hotel isn't modern-looking, but it's clean, comfortable, has fridge & microwave, the staff is friendly, the price is really great, the location is also great, the parking is free...It's a great affordable place I'd recommend to anyone who's looking to visit the Old San Juan area at a great price. There's no pool and (at least in our room) the view isn't all that great, but all that i've mentioned before make up for it, specially cuz you'll be hanging at San Juan most of the day! You can go to the top of the hotel for a spectacular view of El Condado.

Because ot the very reasonable price, I was a little bit concerned about the location and accomodations. But I was very much impressed with the room. It was clean, comfortable, provided all the amenities I needed for the night, and not far from El viejo San Juan,or the airport. Angel, one of the receptionist, was very friendly and provided us with information about the area. We came back to San Juan a week later and our friends from PR stayed there also for a day. I recommed this hotel if you are not looking for luxury. By the way, I had a nice view from my room.
