Armas Hotel
It was the perfect location — in the heart of everything. Beds were comfortable, room was clean. Staff there were quite helpful. We were only here 1 night, but if I return to San Juan, I will definitely book there again.

Beautiful property. Friendly staff. Great location . Pool bar drinks not impressive. Unfortunately, you can hear all noises in the hallway while trying to sleep in the bedroom.
