352 Guest House Hotel Boutique - Old San Juan, Puerto Rico
The 352 Guest House is one of my favorite Hotels in Old San Juan. It's located in the heart of Old San Juan in a Spanish building that was constructed in the late 1700s. The building was originally home to settlers and military personnel manning the nearby forts. Additionally, this boutique hotel is located across the street from the only remaining Franciscan building in Old San Juan, the San Francisco de Asís Church built in 1876. The service is amazing and personal, the hotel is full of original details and decor, the menus have a good selection of healthy and vegetarian options and the location is perfect for exploring historical Old San Juan.
Villa Herentia Hotel - Old San Juan, Puerto Rico
Villa Herentia Hotel is located in a 249 year old Spanish building that was converted to a hotel between the historic San Juan Gate (Puerto de San Juan) and the Cathedral of San Juan Citadel. The interior and decor are rustic feeling with a funky modern flare that really works well. If you are into rare and unique boutique hotel experiences then you should seriously consider Villa Herentia.... especially if you are into the historic architecture of the building. The staff is great, there is free wifi in rooms and on the property, and you can enjoy starlit skies on the roof-top.
Palacio Provincial - Old San Juan, Puerto Rico
Palacio Provincial is a contemporary sleek new property located in a historic building boasting modern comfort in a historic setting. Contemporary minimalist decor with a flare of artist design and modern amenities really set this establishment apart. The restaurant and bar at Palacio Provincial is also outstanding and definitely worth considering. Consular Restaurant & Bar is open all day long (including breakfast) and the cocktail menu is outstanding. Then there is the amazing roof top, corner set infinity pool overlooking historic Old San Juan.... it's very cool. Palacio Provincial is modern luxury in a historic setting, the best of both worlds.

La Terraza de San Juan - Old San Juan, Puerto Rico
La Terraza is well appointed, modern, clean and it has a great tiled roof deck complete with plunge pool, beautiful gardens, and a bar that serves specialty cocktails and tapas in the evening. La Terraza is solid all the way around but the roof deck is the real gem. Check out La Terraza de San Juan if lounging on rooftops with food & drinks appeals to you ;)
Fortel Hostel - Old San Juan, Puerto Rico
Fortel Hostel is clean, safe and one of the nicest hostels we have ever seen. They offer mixed gender and women only dorms, kitchen, lounge, clean/modern bathrooms, a laundry room and the Oh Shit!

Hostels are a great choice for students, single travelers seeking some social engagement, groups, budget travelers, digital nomads, etc. and Fortel Hostel does the genre justice. If hostels are up for consideration then you should definitely look into Fortel.
