Property is a very nice upgraded historic building in an urban neighborhood that appears to be going through a renewal. Lots of historic buildings in disrepair and construction underway....which is why I gave 3 stars ( average). This is not a walkable tourist spot, but close enough for driving and there appears to be a robust bus system. Parking and driving are what you'd expect for a large city.

Stayed overnight for a cruise the next day. Urban, modern design. Clean. Friendly, helpful staff. Area is walkable to several excellent cafes, restaurants and a food truck park offering very good food. Museum of the arts is also in walking distance. On a main road. Centrally located to everything else. Would stay again.

This place was a great option especially for the price. There are a lot of places that are much more expensive and are poorly kept. We loved the style of the place, and they are still working on construction to improve certain areas, which was great to see. The location is not too bad as you can walk to places but not as convenient for tourists as other areas like Condado or old town but easy for Ubering & close to airport. If you're just looking for a good place to sleep, this is definitely a great option & you're supporting local. However, if you're looking for a more upgraded hotel with things like a hair dryer, fridge/microwave, toothpaste, closet, etc., this might not be the place for you but this could change in the future as the place builds out more. Overall, it was perfect for what we needed :)

My room was not only spacious and beautifully furnished but also equipped with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. Overall, I found The Looking Glass Hotel to offer exceptional value for money, considering the high-quality experience provided. The complimentary Wi-Fi was reliable. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting San Juan .Whether for business or leisure, it's a haven of comfort, hospitality, and convenience.

The hotel was better than I expected - the only thing is the neighborhood . Everything is closed down on that street so transportation is a must. The place is as very clean and super comfy boutique style. I paid a bit more as it was a last minute booking so booked in advance and will be worth it. No elevator so don’t bring a lot of luggage.
