Where to stay in Old San Juan?

Sailing out of San Juan and need a place to stay the night prior. Any suggestions??

The Sheraton Old San Juan is a great place pre or post cruise. You can throw a rock from the hotel to the pier. Ask for a room facing the pier and you can see your ship arrive if you get up early enough.

When we were there a few weeks ago, we stayed at La Concha in the Condado area and thought it was great. There is a lot happening in that part of town and the beach is very nice.

Downtown, we stopped for a drink at El Convento, which has excellent reviews on trip advisor. We did not see the rooms, but the patio area and bar were charming. If you want to be in Old San Juan and don’t care about a beach experience, this might be a good choice.

On earlier trips, we stayed at the Doubletree in Isla Verde. It, too, has good reviews and was very pleasant with a good included breakfast, but it is not on the beach and you need a cab to get to Old San Juan.

The first time we went we stayed at le consulat in condado. It was nice and reasonably priced. The second time we stayed at Sheraton old San Juan (got a good price through Hotwire), could not have been more convenient and it was nice too.

The Problem with El Convento is That Pre/Post Cruise Dates is that it is nearly Impossible to get a room, I finaly was able to make a Reservation Post a Disney Cruise that arrived in San Juan on a Monday and it was 420.00 a night and that is a year from now..Being trying for years with no success. If you really want to stay there I would recommend a land Vacation

Good Luck

We stayed at Holiday Inn Express for one day post cruise. We booked last minute and were very pleased with hotel, price, and location. You could walk to beach, food, and if you are in good shape maybe Old San Juan (we did not try).

Sheraton Old San Juan is always our choice with a room/balcony facing the pier and cruise port. So convenient to everything in Old San Juan.

We have stayed at the El Convento and really liked the hotel and the location.

The website was wanting 2 night minimum. We were wanting 1 night for two rooms so I called the hotel and they agreed to book two rooms for one night. You might try calling direct

thanks

Airbnb has several offerings in Old SJ.

Depends on if your ship is sailing from OSJ or the Pan American pier.

We really like staying in the Condado and/or Old San Juan areas. We are cheap and would rather spend our money on the rest of the vacations, so we avoid the resorts. In OSJ, Hotel Casablanca is our favorite and Le Consulate in Condado. There are many great hotels in both places!

If anyone is still looking, I'd highly recommend Decanter Hotel in OSJ. The staff is really great, and our room was really, really nice!

We just returned from the Sheraton OSJ and loved the hotel and it's location in the old city near the pier. The view from the 9th floor pool area is fantastic.

We’ve stayed in two Airbnb in Old San Juan now. The old rooms are much like El Convento.

I love the intercontinental for a beachfront resort-style room. I’ve also stayed at the Sheraton. My upcoming trip will be at the Doubletree.

good to hear. we booked a room here. looked so charming

If you are sailing out of Pan American Pier Hyatt House or Hyatt Place are excellent choices. These are less than a mile to the pier.
