Great service and an overall wonderful stay. I enjoyed a beautiful ocean view right from my room window. The bars were literally just around the corner, making it easy to relax and socialize with people.

Property info

The property features curated interiors, clean modern finishes, and a functional kitchenette that make both short and extended stays comfortable and easy. The building offers six private apartments — three located on the ground floor and three on the second floor (stairs access only). Each unit provides privacy, well-appointed bedrooms, and practical living space ideal for couples, families, or small groups. One of Casa Pelayo’s standout features is its rooftop terrace with beautiful city and ocean views, a perfect place to relax, unwind, and enjoy the San Juan breeze. Guests appreciate the clean aesthetic, comfortable beds, fast WiFi, and convenient self check-in. The location places you just minutes from Old San Juan, Escambrón Beach, and the cruise ports, while offering a quieter residential atmosphere. Casa Pelayo feels more like staying in a thoughtfully designed residence than a traditional hotel — private, comfortable, and centrally located.
