San Juan Park Hotel - San Juan

I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to have a good time in OSJ. This is a great little place to spend the night and get cleaned up, and is a short walk to a bus stop that will take you to OSJ for 50 cents. Parking is at the Carib Hilton garage. With your ticket validated by the front desk you pay a flat rate, when we stayed the parking costed […] $20/day plus taxes. Our room wasn't all that big, but it wasn't small enough to feel cramped. The King size bed in the suite was comfy and the sheets were clean. Everything in the hotel was kept incredibly clean actually. We had hot water in the shower and sink, and a small fridge. The fridge comes in handy because there isn't any vending machines, or room-service. There is however a subway that is about 50 steps from the front door of the lobby. Grab a footlong sub and keep half in the fridge for later. Amenities wise the hotel is lacking, but it is a very small place. The complimentary breakfast was passable: toast, cereal, danish, and fruit to eat and milk and orange juice to drink. The rooms were also very well cooled, to the point of even making it feel cold, which in Puerto Rico is a great feeling. One of our rooms was a suite which had a twin size bed that doubled as a sofa. Blankets for the twin were in the closet, no sheets though. My son was 3 when we stayed so we just folded the blanket in half and he slept inside the fold with his stuffed animals. The staff was helpful and we had a great stay. Read more

I had a wonderful time visiting PR for vacation, and the staff here went out of their way to make the visit even easier. My only complain is that the room I had was on the side that was much noisier. I would have switched, but the other rooms were tiny compared to this one. Just be aware and bring noise cancelling headphones or ear plugs. There are […] constant traffic at all hours. The first night I was not able to sleep until after 2 or 3AM. Then I was awaken around 6AM with fast cars driving by. Having the A/C on also help block out some of the sound. Read more

The building on the inside is well taken care of. Minimal amenities, but the price was good. Great location to the beach and Old San Juan.

Located on a noisy street. Breakfast was Spartan. Room was clean but bed cover was stained. Staff was friendly and hotel seemed updated. Not many dining options within walking distance. Changed reservations to arrive day later and rate increased 50%. Works for short stays. Best of all...no bugs.

Room small but clean- staff very friendly. Free continental breakfast. Walking distance to a number of restaurants.

Generally, our stay was very good. The hotel was very clean, the staff was very courteous, and most everything was better than we really expected. What we didn't anticipate was the street noise from below. I would certainly request an interior room (perhaps that would be quieter). We faced the street so the noise was a bit much. We realize the hotel […] has no control over this, but is is something we had not originally anticipated. Also, we made reservations for four. When I asked about the bed configurations (before we arrived) they told me there would be one king bed and one single. They told me that they would have an additional "cot" in our room to accommodate the fourth person. Basically, it was a roll away bed. It worked out fine and we all slept comfortably. We would stay here again, but as I mentioned before, we would certainly ask for an interior room to avoid the street noise. We came looking for a clean, comfortable place to sleep after a long, late night flight that didn't cost a fortune. We weren't looking for any special amenities, just a comfortable and affordable place to stay. San Juan Park Hotel met those requirements. Read more

Our room was fine for one night. Very small room. Close proximity to beach and cruise terminal.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room was very clean. The daily maid service excellent. Bed was the ONLY negative about the hotel. It was VERY hard. The hotel is located in an apparently bad location. People kept saying, "Don't go out at night. It's dangerous!" There is a cop located at most corners all day and night to protect people going to and from the Caribe Hilton located […] nearby. Next door is a Subway sandwich shop. I was able to get free wireless Internet most of the time. Read more

Room was nice enough, but the bed was hard and the tile floors in the room were dusty/dirty (well they looked clean but if you walked around in bare feet or socks we found out how dirty they were). Wonderful big balcony but on a busy, noisy street. Very close to cruise port terminal. Nice walk across bridge to a little beach, casino and restuarants. […] Subway (food) and little market super close. Both desk clerks we saw were WONDERFUL!!! Rudy and Nikole were AMAZINGLY helpful and nice. Read more

Great with kids, 10 minutes drive to Old San Juan, walking distance from decent beach. Rooms are very nice, on a loud road, but didn't bother us. We stayed here for two nights on the end of our trip and had a great time. Free breakfast is about what you would expect for budget and free, but the coffee was always great and the staff very friendly. Parking […] at the Hilton Caribe behind- for $21 a day with validation.

No good i would not give it one star . it was bad

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room is small, but very clean. The location was perfect for us as it was about 1-2 miles from old San Juan and about 7 miles from the airport. Down the street from the hotel is a bus stop that took us directly to old San Juan. We never waited very long at all and it is only 50 cents to ride. The hotel is also close to a beach.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Good hotel for the money. We stayed one night before leaving for a cruise. Very comfortable and clean. Beds a little hard, but no big complaint for one night. This was the second time we stayed and would recommend.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The staff was very accomodating. The room was comfortable. The only complaint I had was a real need to mop the tile floors in the room and bathroom.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Good for one night before leaving on a very early flight. Fantastic staff. We broke an entire bottle of beer on the floor and two housekeepers were in our room within minutes to help us clean it up. Front desk staff was more friendly and helpful than the 5 star hotel we stayed at for 2 nights prior. Great budget option with all the necessities - free […] internet, mini-fridge, TV. Can't ask for much more. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

We booked a suite with one king and 1 single bed. When we arrived, we found the single bed was a sofa without bedding. The front desk said he couldn't find any bedding and suggested we all share the king bed. I simply called hotels.com for a credit. The location map on Hotels.com isn't accurate. The hotel is about 1.5-2 miles away from the old town. […] It's not on a beach at all and quite a walk to attractions. The worst is that the hotel is on a busy street with no sound proofing windows. You have to be able to sleep with loud traffic noise all night long. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This hotel is a "hole-in-the-wall" surrounded by high-rise hotels headlined by Hilton. We had a hard time finding the place by Google directions and had to resort to calling the hotel and asking for directions. Location is formally "old town San Juan", but you'll have to walk at least half an hour to get to old town proper. We had a "suite" with queen […] bed and twin convertible sofa. The size of this room was pretty much standard hotel room - nothing suite-like about it. Tile floors look old and not so clean. We stayed for two nights and on the second day it appeared that the floors were not swept from some crumbs that we generated. Parking is around the corner in Hilton parking garage for $21, quite pricey I would say. The worst things were the old rickety windows and balcony doors. This place is right on the major street, basically three lane one way highway. So it was extremely noisy all night, with cars buzzing by constantly. Even my earplugs were not enough to filter out the noise. Staff was pretty much non-present. To my request to bring linens for the sofa-bed they nodded OK and as it turned out later just ignored it. To my repeated request they said that the linen room is closed for the night and the clerk has no keys. I suggest that you pay more and stay in a little more upscale modern place or pay less and get more value and probably still more comfort and quiet. Read more

Nice small hotel value. Good walk to Old Town sites. Breakfast pretty basic.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Wanted to stay close to old San Juan, location met that need. As far as amenities, no refrigerator, no in room coffee maker, no in room phone, no pool, hotel staff were helpful, but hotel was somewhat difficult to find, the beach that we walked to was very nice and we did all in all have a nice time.

If you decide to stay here, do not get a room facing the front of the hotel. Stayed here with my girlfriend and we were awoken a few times by the garbage trunks early in the morning and also by loud people on the streets. We thought a balcony would be a plus, but its not if you're facing the front and on the 2nd floor. Only other complaint was the weird […] setup of the room - the bathroom sink was in the bedroom instead of in the bathroom. Otherwise, the staff was friendly and helpful and we were at a good location between Old San Juan and El Condado area. Also, there is no street parking so you will have to pay to park your car.

We were happily surprised by this hotel. While the room was quite small, it was incredibly clean, had great air conditioning, and was comfortable. We are pretty independent travelers and don't like the confines of resorts, so for us, this was perfect. The hotel was also great because there was a car rental service around the corner, parking in a nearby […] hotel for $20 a night, and the bus heading into Old San Juan was just a short walk. Overall, we had a great stay! Read more

Nice budget hotel on the edge of Condado towards Old San Juan, quiet location, Subway, Chinese restaurant and ethnic eating place next door together with car rental and convenience store. Boarded up Normandie Hotel diagonally opposite on the beachfront, near a football park, walk to ocean about three minutes from hotel. We walked down to Old San Juan […] but renting a car is recommended. Breakfast could do with a bit of variety. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

rooms & floors looked dirty. Comforter & pillows on bed looked dirty as well. Staff was not all that friendly and the noise level from the road below was quite noisey.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Overall the San Juan Park Hotel is one I would recommend to my friends; the front desk was helpful and nice overall. The facilities were well kept and close enough to Old San Juan without the noise one would encounter in Old San Juan. The room was clean and comfortable and it had a nice wall mounted flat screen TV with dish TV. Every morning from 7 […] am to 10 the hotel offers free breakfast that consists of boxed cereals, fruit, prepackaged pastries, and beverages. My boyfriend and I took advantage of the breakfast since it helped us save a few bucks during our stay. They also have a washer and dryer available after 4 pm if you need it. San Juan Park Hotel is within a small walking distance of a car rental place, a convenience store, and a few different restaurants. Escambron Beach, an old fort, and park are close by also. Close to the park there are two bus stops if you rather take the bus into Old San Juan rather than walk or pay a taxi. The bus is 75cents each way and is air conditioned; if you decide to take the bus take the M3 bus and make sure to flag it down or else the driver would not stop. Other travelers complained about the water pressure, yes it not what I’m used to in California but it got the job done. I would be unhappy if the hotel had issues with hot water but the water pressure issue is trivial when one is having fun. Read more

Great for overnite before cruise and good location. Room was very small so wouldn't want to stay here for a vacation. Nice staff and had the complimentary breakfast.

You have to pay for parking about $20 per day so make sure you budget for that

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We enjoyed our stay here. It was a basic small room with a small fridge. They only two things we were uncomfortable with was that they photocopy your credit card and driver's license and put it in a file literally behind the clerk's back. That seemed like a non-secure storage method of such confidential & private information in view of identity theft […] possibiities. Also, the room was small but nice, however, It would have been nice to have just one small table in the room. There were no flat top surfaces to lay anything down. The complimentary breakfast was limited, yet very convenient. I would recommend this hotel. They hotel clerks were very nice! Read more

I liked this hotel. It suited my needs. The only thing that was missing was a desk and chair in the room that I had. Made it a bit difficult to check email and do work. Other than that, I think I got good value for money.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Yes it is a hotel, not a resort. Very clean and comfortable. Good location, not much of a view. I only need a bed and shower when I travel and this met all requirements. Not a big fan of San Juan, but if I go again, I will be staying here. Rudy lived up to his reputation as very friendly and helpful as was all the staff. If you are in good shape, it […] is in walking distance to old San Juan and other places of interest. If not in shape, the bus stops right out side. Small restaurant attached to hotel is also excellent and Subway sandwiches right next door. Read more

Wife and I differ somewhat. Pluses include very comfy bed, and thick, soft towels. Room was tiny..no room for a chair...TV didn't work, light over sink didn't work...looked like half the light bubs in hotel were missing. Floor was tile and needed a good sweeping and mopping. Walls were marked up and needed a painting...we just did a pre cruise one night. […] met younger couple who had been there for several days and had enjoyed themselves..met a single mom and her kid and they had an awesome vacation...here's the bottom line: if you can afford another $80 a night, go elsewhere..if not, you could probably do worse...also, room was very quiet (maybe none of the TV's worked).

For the price, the hotel was fine for what we needed. The room is very very small. Stayed here prior to a cruise and we had a very late check-in. For the few hours we were in the room, it worked for us compared to spending a great deal more on a resort type room. Don't expect any extras. The room had a bed, sink and toilet and not much room to put anything […] else. With four pieces of luggage it made any walking in the room difficult. It was very clean so that was the important thing for us. We were able to leave our luggage in the lobby until we could leave for the ship. Gave us time to do some walking around town. Read more

This hotel is a very good budget solution. Close to an amazing beach, close to bus to go to Old San Juan (50 cents and five min ride) Nice staff.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is certainly a Boutique Hotel. The room was clean but very very small. A classic European experience. A 5-10 min. walk from a beach. A 15 minute hike to Condado. Which is fine as long as the sun isn't at it's peak. The staff was friendly. Period. Nothing extra. If looking for just the basics than this will work. Great for an over night, but […] not a lengthy stay. Ended up checking out on day 2 and moving to one of the larger hotels in Condado for the remainder of our stay. Read more

I thouroughly enjoyed my stay at the San Juan Park Hotel. I read a few reviews before booking and I had my expectations but they really exceeded what I expected. The room was very well kept and clean. In the bathroom there was a nice stone tiled shower. There was a fridge in the room if you want to grab sandwiches from the Subway that is next door. […] It was also only a 20 minute walk to downtown San Juan. I traveled with a girl friend and we felt very safe in the area, you will see lots of people out for a morning run or walk. There is free continental breakfast and the staff always greets you with a good morning. Don't expect any extras though. For example, my friend forgot her toothbrush and phone charger. The front desk couldn't help with either. But there is a mart right next door that we went to. The air conditioner in the room is a little loud also. So if you need white noise or complete silence it might prevent you from sleeping well. But we just used the 'fan' setting at night for quiet. Overall it was a great value for the cost. I would definitely go back. Read more

We had a great time and enjoyed very much all the conveniences. Continental breakfast was more than a good start, Old San Juan just 10 minutes away and only .50 cents by bus, great beach 5 minutes walk, bus to Santurce only 15 minutes away. Another very convenient thing was the car rental just around the corner and very reasonable. Trip to Yunke was […] around two hours, trip to Ponce a bit more than one hour and we highly recommend both experiences. If we go back, would not hesitate one second and make our reservations at the San Juan Park Hotel again. Thank you all for a very enjoyable five days!!! Read more

The hotel is small, simple and convenient. Good value. The rooms are small and clean and the bed is confortable. I needed to work with my laptop but the room did not have a desk. The TV offered just 14 channels.

The hotel has the following advantages: 1.) It has a fine desk concierge, Rudy 2.) It is within 10 min. walking distance to a large beach, Escambron, and a small cove across the Ashford Bridge 3.) A 10 minute bus ride costs 50 cents into old San Juan 4.) it is a safe area with joggers in the evening The hotel has the following disadvantages: 1.) Windows […] in the larger room face the main avenue into town and the noise level is very high 2.) Shower pressure is adequate but weak 3.) A minimal breakfast is included 3.) There are good choices for eating dinner but they are limited. All in all, this is a positive experience. We would recommend a visit to Puerto Rico! Read more

We had a king suite with a balcony which was perfect for our one night […] stay. Continental breakfast was adequate. Read more

We recently stayed at the San Juan Park Hotel and found it quite charming. Very clean and the staff was very friendly and courteous. If you're looking for a 5 star hotel you might want to look somewhere else but if you are on a budget and want a very nice place to stay, look no further than the San Juan Park Hotel. The location is KEY!!! We walked to […] Old San Juan in about 20 - 25 mins. Around the corner there is a quaint little diner that serves DELICIOUS authentic Puerto Rican food at MORE than a reasonable price. The Hilton is across the street from that diner and has a Starbucks, Morton's SteakHouse and Pina Colada Club. I can't say enough about that little hotel except it was a nice visit.
