라 카피타나 올드 산 후안

Fabulous location but be warned it’s a typical OSJ apartment - very narrow three story walk up. That said, the views were absolutely worth the effort lugging up my admittedly overpacked suitcases up those three flights. The photos on the listing are old, meaning the kitchen and bathroom are in desperate need of updating and refitting. If you can deal with some wear and tear, then the price can’t be beat. I’d stay here again. It was spacious, clean, and worth every penny.

Pictures showing the place to stay were not of the same place. Bathroom sink only had col water spigot. Hot water spigot had no running water. Tv did not work.

Extreme lack of attention to detail. We booked the place because a kitchenette was described and the pictures clearly showed a microwave and coffeemaker. These were missing! We were also not given towels and could not get in touch with management. We were thankful that the hotel where we pick up keys were willing to give us towels. Everything is just a bit neglected. The bathroom could use a functioning curtain and rod system. Multiple lamps were either broken or had bulbs burnt out. The oscillating floor fan didn’t work. I’ve tried to contact management about a discount and cannot reach anyone. This place is in a good location and could have been a great stay if the amenities described were actually provided. The bed was comfortable. The balcony was lovely and the location was perfect. Overall wish we would have booked somewhere else to get what we paid for.

We took a cab to 412 Calle Norzagaray. That had a locked gate. So we were on the sidewalk with nowhere to go and not knowing anyone. We walked around the block to the other side of building to 413 Calle Sol. Another locked Gate. A local couple told us they knew the owner and offered to call them. The owner said we had to go to 262 Calle Sol to check in. We had to our carry our 2 large and 2 carry-on luggage 3 blocks down the street on uneven streets and cobblestone roads to Check in. They said we couldn't have our room because the air conditioner was not working and gave us a room there for 1 night. The next day we had to carry our luggage back to 412 Calle Sol because the air was fixed and they were booked full. There was 2 flights of stairs to go up to the room. No elevator. We got to the room and the air conditioner didn't work. They sent a guy to fix it and it only worked for a couple hours and quit again. They never tried to fix it again.There were 2 ceiling fans in unit, neither one worked. The leading edge of the fan blades were black from filth. There was no Towels in unit. My wife walked down to the checkin hotel. They gave us 2 towels and said the couldn't give us any wash cloths or hand towels. No housekeeping at all. When you walked on floor you could feel the dirt on the floor. The balcony door was held closed with a 2x4. My ocean view was of a street going to business district.

To find location go to 262 Sol for he lobby open 24/7. The streets that are parallel to each other have the same numbers across, so the street next over and the building next to it also says 262. Make sure you're on the street before the the street that connects along the fortres "Sol". Then my building was in 413 Sol. So it's one of those places where you check in somewhere and then stay somewhere else. The condition seems sketchy and old but when you get to your room, you realize that you have a prime spot in a great location, I had a balcony that was right across the street from the ocean and the fortress. Could literally not have been in a better location. Was a whole apartment. A few small bugs here and there but not on the bed, mostly by the sinks. The building is old, very old, but updated with acceptable appliance, great TV. The floor is always dirty no matter how much you clean it, so wear socks all the time. I personally as a young male alone, I was thrilled with my room. This place was perfect other than the flooring and the light bug problem. If you can get over those small factors of having a hard time finding it and the older condition this is the best place I think I've ever stayed. Price the and location outweighed everything in my mind.
