Hotels and paradores for under $250

If you prefer staying at hotels or paradores, Old San Juan has boutique and bed & breakfast options with excellent reviews and even awards. They stand apart from traditional hotels by offering more personalized attention and being located in the historic downtown of the walled city itself.

At all of them you will find more than a pleasant stay; you will find a journey through history. Best of all, many have nightly rates under $250.

Perhaps the best known is Hotel El Convento, located on Calle del Cristo almost directly across from the historic Catedral Basílica Menor de San Juan Bautista (commonly known as the Catedral del Viejo San Juan). Other options that are equally good and offer a variety of amenities include:

  • Decanter Hotel – Located on Calle San José, it has just 19 rooms and a terrace with views of all of Old San Juan.

  • Palacio Provincial – Adults only, it is a restored building with a refreshing infinity pool on the rooftop.

  • Casa Sol Bed & Breakfast – For the best personalized service, with breakfast delivered to your room and an exceptional culinary offering.

  • Casablanca – A romantic hotel with décor inspired by Moroccan style.

  • Villa Herencia Hotel – Perhaps the most historic option you will find in Old San Juan, where a stay is a refined journey through time.
