Top Plaza de Armas Hotel Reviews

Hotel Rumbao, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was very nice and it was convenient since you were able to find a lot of local restaurants. The only think is the pool was too small."

Fortaleza Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Precio muy bueno"

Decanter Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This was a pleasant gem of a place! Not only was it in a great location, but it was the best sleep after a long hot day of exploring."

Armas Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice place!"

EL Colonial Hotel Open Bar Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"What an absolute gem in the heart of Old San Juan! This quaint, charming property was the perfect introduction to Puerto Rico and truly set the bar high for the rest of my trip. The buildings are older, but that is part of their beauty. They are full of character, history, and an undeniable charm that makes the experience feel authentic rather than ordinary. The open bar was a wonderful bonus, and the rooftop garden tub added an unexpected touch of relaxation and luxury. But the true highlight was the staff! Every person I encountered was an absolute ray of sunshine—beautiful inside and out, genuinely welcoming, knowledgeable, attentive, and eager to help. Their warmth and hospitality made me feel less like a guest and more like someone they were genuinely happy to welcome. One thing to keep in mind: there is no elevator, so pack light and consider the stairs if you have mobility or health concerns. Overall, this property exceeded my expectations in all the ways that matter. It has personality, charm, and, most importantly, people who make the experience unforgettable. The first leg of my Puerto Rican getaway was so wonderful that I honestly don’t know how the rest of my trip will top it! Five stars, without hesitation. I would absolutely stay here again!"
