Enjoyed our stay at the Decanter
We had a nice stay at the Decanter. Great location and even though it can be loud outside with visitors staying up late, we felt the noise was not disruptive to our ability to sleep. Daniel at the front desk was very helpful with suggestions on where to eat and also helped us with figuring out the aor conditioner.

Lovely Boutique Hotel
Beautiful, roof top sitting with a view of the city, I looove the coffee options from the complimentary coffee machine. Check-in was a breeze, young lady at the front desk was nice, room was clean, bed was a bit creaky but comfy, toiletries and complimentary water were available. Walking distance to many restaurants, store, sights and sounds of Old San Juan. Only downside for the room I booked is that there's not much space if u have a lot of bags or a big bag. It was a good for a solo traveler and would be good if I ate traveling light. I was in the 1 bedroom queen size bed I believe.

Nice spot for a quick trip or weekend
Small hotel in OSJ. Walkable to everything. There is construction next door which looks like a big job. The suite has a shared balcony.
The room was spacious. If you’re looking for peace and quiet this is not the place for you. You can hear all the music and noises from outside. I was fine with it since I’m from the city.
Overall I had a good stay at the Decanter.

Very close to everything in Old San Juan. Only downside is parking access is challenging as the church parking was not available due to Easter weekend activities so we ended up having to return our rental.

Lovely surprise!
A great location with very friendly staff and plenty of space to store our luggage before and after checkout. Water pressure in shower and bathroom sink could have been a little stronger but the bed was very comfortable and air conditioning was perfect … we would stay there again!

This hotel is smack dab in the middle of the busiest area of Old San Juan. If you're a night owl, this is a good spot. If you are looking for quiet nights, this is NOT a good spot.
Beautiful building on the outside. Needs a little update inside.
