We were very excited to stay in this hotel given some of the reviews and awards they hotel has received. However, we were really disappointed with our stay. The room had a beautiful decore however, it was dark and damp. The only natural light was covered by fabric so you had to open the doors to get some light. The... more

I would like to apologize to this guest for the poor experience that they reported at The Cervantes. While we are never happy to receive a bad report, we would like to assure any future guests that the owner of The Cervantes is very responsive to guest comments and is always working to improve the hotel. Shortly after this review...

We stayed in old San Juan for two days by choice. I had grown up in Puerto Rico fifty years ago, and remembered old San juan as a crumbling ruin. Yet I was delighted with the hotel and the city. The hotel was charming, the staff attentive and pleasant, the breakfast wonderful. My only regret is that I never had... more

We were scheduled to arrive around noon on cxmas day but because of bad weather in the north east coast we end up arriving at midnight. We called to let them know and soon as we got in the staff was perfect, friendly, professional, and understanding. Because it was cxmas night everything in the city was closed early, even the... more

We searched for a small quaint hotel near the water. The Cervantes certainly fitted the description. Sometimes searching and choosing a hotel is a shot in the dark but this experience was absolute bliss. Hotel was small just as we liked. The restaurant had a small menu, but GREAT FOOD and a continental breakfast was served daily. My husband, who... more

My wife and I stayed at Cervantes for four days and had an excellent experience. The decor in this small boutique hotel is unique. It is the work of an outstanding Puerto Rican designer, and although I don't generally like contemporary style, this motif is done so well that anyone would be impressed. We stayed in a junior suite, which... more

We live in the Caribbean and visit Puerto Rico roughly once a year. We were excited to stay at this hotel as it looked gorgeous and was centrally located in Old San Juan. What a disappointment! It has been stylishly renovated but that is about the only good thing I can think to say about it. The staff were unwelcoming,... more

TheCervantes, Hotel Manager

As Manager of The Cervantes, I would like to assure guests that The Cervantes values guest feedback as we continually look for ways to upgrade our facilities and improve customer service. I would, however, like to address some of the issues this guest raised: There are times when a hotel guest can have issues with mechanical systems (TV controls and/or...

Reminded me of a classic small European hotel: restaurant in the lobby, attentive and unobtrusive service in restaurant and hotel. Knew us when we walked in. Room the most elegant I have seen in North America. I was very tired and never awakened to noise which some may have heard. more

Bad managment , the service was ok but there are some things they need to improve. To much noise at nigth, can't sleep at all, and if you travel with kids not recomended, they don't have place for kids, nothing to do, the hotel is too expensive and do not offer anything. You Know... Luxury it's not everything. more

After the initial shock of how expensive and basic most accommodation is in old San Juan, we decided to give this new property a try. We were pleasantly surprised. The location is perfect if you want to see old San Juan and go out at night. The standard rooms were small but stylish and very well appointed. The bathroom was... more
