Basic room in good location if you like upscale shopping (Condado). Getting car in and out of narrow streets surrounding hotel is not for the faint-hearted. Also, your car is parked in a line of other cars alongside the hotel. To get it out, hotel clerk must move whatever cars are behind yours into the narrow street. No quick get-aways... more

El Canario was a good place to stay. We only stayed one night before our cruise. I thought the room was good, the bathroom was a little small, but we didn't need a huge one. The balcony overlooked parking and other buildings, but it was nice to have. Location was great, we were in walking distance of the ocean and... more

Stayed just one night in this small hotel in the Condado beach area of San Juan. Hotel is located near the Lagoon with some rooms having a partial view and just one block to beach. Lobby is tastefully furnished with tropical bamboo chairs and loveseat with a small breakfast room for complimentary morning rolls, coffee and juice. There is also... more

We stayed for only one night and would never do it again. Our room was dirty, dark and smelly. The bathroom was tiny, the shower fixture was broken, and there was no hot, or even tepid, water. There was no waste basket in the room, not a single napkin, and no glassware. Promised internet connection, a must in our case,... more

I am attracted by the top 5 ranking in san juan hotels. And I would say it is a pretty good hotel: good location and clean room, simple decoration. If you pay below 120, this is something you should consider . Also I want to say the ranking is a little bit overated. Most people here are satisfied with this... more

We stayed at El Canario in December. The rooms however are not the cleanest. The service at least during the nights is quite bad. It appears that the management believes that they are doing you a favor by letting you spend time at their hotel. We had booked for six nights but we ended up moving to the near by... more

My sister and I had one night in San Juan and we were on a budget. I had done some research on TripAdvisor and this one got some pretty good reviews and the price was right. It is a budget hotel but the rooms were clean and the air conditioning was great. We wanted to do some sightseeing so we... more

We stayed at the El Canario in July of last year as a group of 5 girls. It was our post-high school graduation senior trip. We found the hotel on a travel website and took a chance. We were very pleasantly surprised. The property is located in a central area in Condado - very close to restuarants, transportation and the... more
