Top Plaza de Armas Hotel Reviews

La Terraza de San Juan

8/10 Good

"The staff was very nice. Our room was large. The water in the shower never got warm the entire 4 days we were there. I will add , we chose not to complain about it since there was an ongoing water shortage on the island and we didn’t want to seem ungrateful… lol The bar on site was closed the entire 4 days we stayed ( Aug 21st-24th) a tad disappointed with that. Breakfast wasn’t available the 1st morning but was the next three mornings and it was very good. The location of the hotel was wonderful. We walked a lot but everything felt close ."

EL Colonial Hotel Open Bar Adults Only

8/10 Good

"Staff and bar"

Hotel Milano

8/10 Good

"Renovations in the lobby are underway and I’m sure will be lovely. Room was nice, clean, great beds. Aircon all good. The biggest issue was the walls were all bright white with no artwork or color contrast, and because the building is connected to two building on either side given it is in Old San Juan, on the rooms on the street side have windows. So no natural light in our room. It was fine for a one night stay, but I wouldn’t stay longer u less I had a window in the room."
