Lonely Planet "Location, location, location – but not a lot else. The Plaza de Armas is a rather characterless hotel situated in San Juan’s most character-loaded quarter." Full review

"Suites facing the street have charming French doors that open up to cobblestone views." Full review

Make sure to experience the 1920s elevator at least once, though stairs are quicker.
Frommer's "We recommend this somewhat dowdy property because it offers a clean, comfortable good night's sleep in the heart of the historic zone at an economic rate, not an easy find these days" Full review

Ask for a room with a view, as this is Old San Juan's only lodging facing the Atlantic Ocean.
Fodor's "Nothing like this rambling, eclectic inn exists anywhere else in San Juan—or Puerto Rico, for that matter." Full review

"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
