Ask for a room with a view, as this is Old San Juan's only lodging facing the Atlantic Ocean.

"Owned by the same couple for decades, the historic Gallery Inn is run like an informal B&B." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The quirkiest hotel in town is also among the most endearing, thanks to eccentric live-in owners Jan D Esposo and Hernan "Manuco" Gandia."
Afar Magazine "Old San Juan is known for its atmospheric and historic hotels, but none quite match the Gallery Inn for personality and creativity." Full review
Frommer's "This centuries-old mansion looms over city, and boasts spectacular views from its rooftop wine deck...guests are free to ramble through the 50-plus room inn, which spirals up seven levels." Full review
Lonely Planet "Perched romantically between two forts, this 27-room hotel will make you feel as if you’ve wandered into the home of a retired, and very successful, pirate" Full review
