I had booked this property because our flight had got cancelled and we had to stay an extra 3 days. it was the cheapest so i wasnt expecting nothing fancy. u have 2 get your key from one location nd then walk to the apartment building. the hallways r very thin so if youre wideset it would be hard to go up the stairs. i had reserved the ocean view room. everything was put up but the floors were not mopped. i could not walk barefoot or my feet would turn black. there was dirt everywhere. the wifi did not work but we had service so it wasnt an issue for us. the tv was connected to the wifi but would go in and out so we had to unplug it multiple times to get it to stream. the stove was very old and only 2 burners worked. the room with the ocean view was very hot but if you kept the door open and the outside door closed at night it could get cold. the view was beautiful... we loved sitting outside nd looking at the water. and the location was in old san juan so everything we needed was in walkable distance. laundromat/grocery store/ and other shops. like i said... this was a last minute booking so i wasnt expecting nothing spectacular but the view and location made up for it and we still made it work.

Location was perfect right in the heart. I didn’t complain while staying there but omg paint chips kept falling from ceilings, bathroom shower poles kept falling down and hair everywhere in bathroom. Tile floor in bathroom very dirty. The bathroom was the grossest. The place didn’t feel at all clean sofa was stained dirty… like I said the location perfect but my God the place needs upkeep and super dirty. Not what it looks like in pics. Sorry but not sorry.

Prime location awful property (Zen studio) This hotel is located in a great area. Unfortunately, there were many issues that made our stay very uncomfortable and unsafe. You will walk into a spacious loft with no air conditioned in the living room, just the bedroom. The bathroom shower is very tiny, the water faucets and the shower curtain are broken and filthy. The front door lock doesn’t work we were afraid someone would break in. The list goes on and on…The owner should provide the basic amenities like towels, paper towels for the kitchen and some guest information of the location, WiFi, places of interests etc. This studio needs to be renovated, just look at the pictures. Also, this place was not clean. When a customer books a hotel should have some basic comfort without requesting it.

A lot of the negative reviews stem from the fact that people do not thoroughly read prior to booking. The listing definitely states that not only is the property address a different location from the check-in location, but it’s only stair assessable. Checking in was easy and the property was only about 2- 2 1/2 blocks away 4min walk! I had the Ocean View room and was met w| nice AC upon walking in and the view is absolutely beautiful! Walking distance from just about anything perfect location! Now there were some downs, such as I did not receive check in instructions until 12AM the day of travel after being told I’d get them the day before, both checking in and out no one was at the front desk I was saying hello with no response someone came about 7mins after. The walls of the property and rooms look much older than the pictures used for the listing. The painting doesn’t look fresh, some cracks and water bubble damage which is why people are saying it isn’t clean. The Wi-Fi also didn’t work. With the property being on sort of a main road if you’re a light sleeper the vehicles and loud larger groups of people having conversations passing by will wake you. The Wi-Fi also did not work. If you’re looking for something modern and have health issues with getting up and down stairs and are a light sleeper I wouldn’t recommend for you. For a solo traveler, couple or group of 4 on a budget I’d defn recommend! I really do believe once they take the time renovate the place it’ll be one

I wouldn't recommend this room to anyone. First you have to go to another hotel to get the key. After I had to walk down several blocks to get to my room. The suite was up 3 flights of narrow steps and when I finally got into the room I was met by a Hot and Humid living room and a fan. The shower is small and not clean. The shower curtain was filthy and tattered in that tiny excuse of a bathroom. Not to mention the tv had 0 channels and everynight there were various noises coming from residents that live there full time. I recorded some of the noises after the 2nd night. Water damage on most of the walls that were badly covered up that just made the stains more noticeable. This site needs some serious renovations before they even consider to rent it out again. 0 out 10 recommendation.

Old San Juan
The stay started off poorly because the hotel does not have a drop off section and you have to check in two blocks away. This was not communicated to us. The room was good sized with a LR, Kitchen, and BR. The ceiling fan in the LR didn't work but the one in the BR did. The bed was a comfortable King. The windows were metal slats that gapped and allowed in a fair amount of sound. There was a rain storm one day and the roof in the bathroom leaked. There was a puddle of water in the bathroom. This was made all the worse because there were only two towels in the whole place. We needed those for showers. Also no wash clothes.

Good but needs a lot of improvement.
Mixed experience. I can split this in two. The good the view is amazing and the location is premium in Old San Juan. The not so good, the mattresses are uncomfortable and old, one of them have a dip that’s very noticeable. The furniture is old. When I checked in the host at the hotel told me “the view is amazing, unless it rains, the. It’s not so much. So, it did rain overnight ñ, I left the windows half open and when I woke up in the morning I had water all the way into the kitchen. The bathroom is very small which I don’t mind much, but the sink is so small that you make a mess when you are brushing your teeth. Also no elevators, and a leak by the balcony door.
This is the view from the bed closer to the balcony.
View from the balcony in the afternoon.

8/10 Very good

Great Value for budget savvy seasoned travelers
The view and location are amazing like most others have noted, and the beds are very comfortable. The place is older and could use some TLC, but it is very clean and comfortable with an excellent mini split AC unit, ceiling fans/wall fans. Acessibility - Two large steps to enter through heavy metal gate, then there are two flights of narrow stairs, then 15 feet hallway and across a small open patio, a short walkway. and two steps up to reach The Balcony Apartment. It was no problem as we are active, youngish and healthy. though, if you have a physical disability, an aging travel companion, or are generally very inactive, this would probably not be the best choice. Especially as parking is hard to come by and nearest parking garage is about 4-5 blocks away. The kitchen while aged, (as is most of the furnishings) and clearly effected by being in a tropical environment has everything needed and nice quality of utensils/pans etc., and is super clean and in good working order. Mostly quiet except on weekend nights when cars (with the bass up lol)seem to cruise the narrow street between the building and the San Cristobal Park across the street (above the ocean). Even so, it was quiet by midnight. and not disruptive to our hanging out or sleeping. Overall an excellent spot for the money, if you do not require lavish accommodations. If you expect a Hilton or boutique place, probably not for you. I would totally stay here again. A great location, view and value.

We liked the convenience of walking around Old San Juan and dining around the area too. We liked the view very much. The building is old and needs updates on windows, doors which are not very secure, and bathroom is outdated and tiny. Also, we suggest disclosing the fact that the building has no elevator as we are older and had to carry our luggage up to the 3rd floor on a very narrow and deeply inclined staircase.

Expedia, I contacted many times and no response. We booked La Caitana old San Juan hotel for 2/19 and 2/20. The owner refuse check us in and keeping told us that we have to leave, we are on the wrong address. She send us to 3different addresses until my kids can’t walk anymore. I also asked police to confirm the hotel address which lead us back to the same place. The owner is hiding from us and clean guy does not speak English. We have to find another hotel After two more hours arguments. Expedia, give me money back and I will not have a business with u anymore. Btw, I also complain to BBB and all social media bc what u did

This is not a hotel. We stayed for four nights and we requested bath towels and a soap through text. Text didn’t do anything so we had to go get towels. Location and the view from balcony were great. We killed 2 cockroaches in the bathroom.
