Hotels near El Alcazar Antiques, San Juan

Great, convenient location if U want to explore Santurce/Miramar by just walking. 4 blocks away is Ciudadela which has a 24 hr Pueblo, Planet Fitness, & Mercado La Carreta cafe. Directly across for Ciudadela is a food truck food court called Lote 23 (very tasty, interesting mix). Also don't miss Abracadaba brunch & local coffee spot 787 Coffee. Also couple of good Mex restaurants on Ave José de Diego. U can use this same road to walk to Condado beach 🏖️ area, approx 15 minutes. There are also electric 🛴 on the sidewalks for rent. Right next to hotel just down hill is La Casona (beautiful garden restaurant & fine dining). Just across street from this,on Avenida Juncos, is Burrillos Santurce; a really tasty & very good prices casual Mex 🌯 spot (order at counter & sit). 3 min walk.... Even though location is excellent, the hotel itself is definitely budget. No significant amenities, small rooms & even smaller bathrooms. Water pressure on low side. Rooms have flat panels & cable (didn't use though). AC as much nicer, quiet split type units, worked very well. Small rooms also much easier & quicker to cool. Kinda old, outdated & funky (but also a lot of character), but if U just need a functional place to crash, the room prices are very very good! $65-80/night vs $400 ?!? Also has 1 self serve laundry wash n dry machines. In lobby is a small cafe-type seating area. Free wifi, but kinda slow. Depending on room location, there can be noise issues. Rooms directly above the Asia di Lima restaurant's exhaust fan (on Calle San Jorge side) should keep windows closed btwn 4-11pm to minimize cooking exhaust odors. Anyway... would definitely stay here again; especially if the room rates ate below $80/day. And don't really need a lot of fluff; not on vacation to hang out in tiny room or hotel property. If U want the resort experience... Caribé Hilton, Vanderbilt, La Concha, or Sonesta or El San Juan in Isla Verde... but you're paying $300-800/night !! If U stay here, don't be shy! Get out & walk around as much as possible... you'll be surprised by all the off-the-beaten path cool stuff you'll find. A much more authentic 🇵🇷 experience!

This was our first stay in this newly renovated “sister”hotel to the Condado Plaza Hotel across the street. I can easily say that this was the best Hilton Garden Inn I have stayed in. The location is just as you cross into the Condado section of San Juan heading east from the cruise ship terminals or at the end if heading from the airport (a $24 taxi ride). It’s a bit quieter than the heart of the Condado. The entire hotel is gleaming— a beautiful airy lobby that opens into the pool area, a breakfast restaurant, and a bar area. We lucked out on an upgrade to a high corner room with panoramic views of the ocean (picture attached) with a wrap around balcony. The room was nicely appointed and definitely upgraded from the previous property. This will be our new favorite when passing through San Juan on the way to adventures beyond. The only negative is the street noise on the side of the hotel but it was balanced by the view in my humble opinion— the view from the other side is of the lagoon also very nice.

Unfortunately, the high expectations I had for this place were lacking. First of all, I booked a deluxe room which included a TV in the room, sofa bed and was supposed to have its own entrance and privacy. As per the instructions on Hotels.com it stated that I should contact the property at least 24 hours in advanced for check-in details. I did just that and was met with a return message stating that I would receive the information prior to check-in on the day the reservation was to begin. Nevertheless, I didn't receive it until 4:15pm, mind you that the normal check-in times, as posted, are 3pm-10pm. Not only did I receive the check-in details about 1-2 hours late but also received a phone call with some confusing information. The lady informed me that my room had supposedly been ”overbooked” by the system and that my room wasn't available for my stay. That they would award me a room inside an ”apartment”, which is usually reserved for Airbnb and as compared to the deluxe room I had booked, included a larger space with a kitchen and other rooms which would be closed. I didn't really need a kitchen since I wasn't planning on cooking etc and was definitely skeptical and thinking how that happened since I had reserved the deluxe room days in advance and wasn't contacted for it at all. No other option was offered to me and I decided to go with it and give it a try... Unfortunately, upon arrival my skepticism was met with reality. All the access gates for the property are open, no locks, meaning anyone can enter the property at any given time. The only actual room which was open inside the ”apartment” didn't have all the amenities as the one I booked and the entire ”apartment” didn't have a single TV. Moreover, there were other people's belongings inside the room, ”apartment” and balcony, which in fact had a seating area but the cushions had been removed so it was useless. Another person's sandals, lighter and more surprisingly contraceptive pills were visible upon arriving. I found this to be unacceptable, specially during these times. I didn't feel comfortable and actually questioned the cleanliness and infection control, given that clearly no one had verified the lodging area and took care of the items which I previously mentioned. I felt unsafe at this time, not knowing if there was other people with access to the ”apartment”, given the fact that there were other people's items left in plain view. I contacted the property regarding the findings upon arrival and I didn't receive a response. I was confused about what to do since I definitely didn't feel safe and didn't know how to proceed since there's no front desk in the property. I never heard anything back and decided to vacate the property and seek lodging elsewhere. That meant having to pay for a hotel elsewhere and spend an additional quantity of money than we were expecting but it was a decision I made with my partner because ultimately we didn't feel safe!!!

The location of the hotel is not far from the beach. You can swim, surf, watch the sunset, go to the bikini, go to the old town of San Juan, you can do the bus, only 0.75 dollars is very cheap because the oil in Puerto Rico is cheap. A taxi is a few dollars away from the airport, especially the boss is very beautiful and warm. The hotel is a backpacker hotel. So compared to other hotels, the style is very warm. The backpackers chat. The hotel has all kinds of supplies in the kitchen. There is also an open-air bar to look at the sky and look at the sea. The more lively places like the quiet people are not suitable. It’s here for reference only. There are also dry buckets and irons. There is no parking lot to stop at the road. Very convenient to have a refrigerator Wi-Fi

Me and my husband arrived late at night. At the front desk we were welcomed by Melendez. He was very nice and helpful. He gave us some tips on places to visit, stores near by. Explained everything about the room services and helped with the reservation for the rooftop bar Eter. The room was very clean. Very comfortable bed. Great TV and Wi-Fi worked perfectly. One of the best things was free breakfast every morning. Plenty of options to choose from. And they always bring it to the room on time. The rooftop bar Eter has an amazing view. Drinks are delicious and bartenders are great! It's better to make a reservation a day prior, because they are pretty busy. Overall our experience was great. Wonderful service, the location is not too far from T-Mobile district, a lot of restaurants and bars, and 20 minutes away from the beach if you're walking.

Very good hotel with rooftop pool, free bar drinks, rooms with balconies and large, hotel services are also very good and the location of this hotel is very prosperous

Our stay at the Courtyard Isla Verde was during spring break March 31st ——April 3rd room was outdated with a musky smell immediately exiting the elevator the only day we got our room serviced housekeeping stole my Grandson’s Apple Watch and we flipped that room upside down to look for the watch when this was reported to the manager on duty they were very unconcerned and made it seems as if we were lying they never got back with us after telling my Daughter that security will get back with us the next day my Daughter had to be proactive and call them again she then spoke with the housekeeping supervisor who stated she was not aware of the incident only after my Daughter asked for Valet slips to show check in and out times to show the head of Security came and spoke with us we were gone from 10 am until about 6 pm and the watch last registered at the hotel at 1:45 and we were not there at that time the lady that is head of security proceeded to say that the person who serviced our room clean it about the same time the watch mysteriously disappeared but also made the remark that the housekeeper has been with them for a while it has been a week and we have gotten no response from our call and complaint to corporate office our the security lady who took our info Beware of this hotel not only do the employees steal and lie it’s in need of a major update we stayed in room 816 becareful the balcony rails are loose and they had two wedding receptions Fri and Sat night and the bldg were the reception was held is located right below the balcony of room 816 the music went on into the wee hours of the night

The hotel room was very comfortable. The swimming pool brought many people during the day and afternoon, and there was a smell of urine by the pool. The location is also good. A taxi to the old town will cost around 10 knives and will not spend too much on traffic. Breakfast was good too!
