I would sta at Canario again but I would hope they would be more flexible in the future.
Pros:

The location was great. Eddy, the staffperson at night, was wonderful. He related so well to guests, was so helpful in every way and made the stay special.

Cons:

I didn’t like the fact that I initially tried to cancel a night and was going to have to pay the whole cost. I decided to stay instead. The room would surely have been booked, as it was fully booked for days afterwards.

Great spot!
Pros:

Daniel and Ana were great! Both were super friendly and offered really good suggestions for nearby restaurants - so many to choose from.
Super location with a very short walk to the beach. Having arrived very early, we appreciated being able to leave our bags to go out to explore.

Cons:

Our room was clean and comfortable. I would have liked better lighting and an outlet near a mirror for drying my hair. Water pressure wasn't great in the shower.

Website should say no elevators
Pros:

Location was good.

Cons:

No elevators at the property and we had to drag our suitcases up 2 flights of narrow stairs without any help from staff. The rooms were extremely small and very old.

Excellent location, great staff. Would stay here again.
Pros:

The hotel staff members were friendly, accommodating, and helpful. After check-in I realized that my room did not have a hair dryer. Anna from the front desk found one and personally delivered it to my room. (Apparently the previous guest had taken the room's hair dryer with them.) The weather was warm and the air conditioner worked well. There was a kitchenette where they had coffee and a water machine that all guests could use. There was a nice outside patio that guests could use as well.

Cons:

The hotel is a bit worn, but it is clean. The rooms are small, but I did not spend much time there, and I think the excellent location and price point made the small room tolerable.

Pros:

Front desk was closed when I checked in even though I told them my arrival would be late. It was raining and my phone didn't work Finally a guest came and let me in the lobby and helped me call the sister hotel. The man that came over checked me in and helped me with my luggage

Great location and a very economical San Juan stay
Pros:

I've stayed here twice, once on my own waiting for a morning flight to the BVI in 2024 and again with my wife in February 2026 for 2 nights at the begining of our trip around Puerto Rico. I don't think the bad reviews I've read are deserved. This is a more budget freindly option in the same great location as some of the premium hotels. The location is fantastic with a lot of dining and entertainment options within walking distance. It's also a short inexpensive Uber ride to Old San Juan with a lot to do and see there. Canario staff were freindly and accomodating. Daniel who checked us in and got us in our room before regular check in time had several suggestions for places to get a great seafood dinner. The rooms are smaller than your typical chain but when we visit we don't spend a lot of time in our room. But the room did have everything you need as well as a shared kitchen you could use where there was hot coffee in the morning and a really nice quite courtyard to enjoy in the morning and at the end of the day. This will be our go to in San Juan.

Do not waste your money, pictures very deceiving!
Pros:

The room was tiny, internet was very weak, the TV barely worked as it kept freezing
The sink in the bathroom rocked.
We were told not to flush the toilet paper yet in the 4 days we were there housekeeping never cleared the basket, we had to do it ourselves into the courtyard bin, DISGUSTING!
They never cleaned the room or made the bed the whole time we were there, one day the simply left extra towels!
This hotel and their associate hotel, Casa del Caribe (we stayed 2 nights) are by far the worst hotels I have ever stayed at!
