Hotels Near Catacumba 8 de Dorado in Dorado

I would not recommend staying here unless you want cool pictures of the interior and not much else... I will start with the redeeming factors: The front desk staff (only on location til 5pm) and cleaning staff were lovely and incredibly accommodating. The rooftop area and hot tub were a fun lounge location. Our room had great air-conditioning and the wifi always worked. The location is outstanding, but there are many other hotels in the same area. The cons: (1) Our bed and pillows were extremely hard and uncomfortable, which I have read other reviewers mention. When I first read those reviews, I thought those people must be exaggerating, but they were not. (2) Our key card did not work TWICE after hours, and we had to call an emergency line and get assistance. On the second time, no one answered for awhile, and we had to BREAK IN to our own room. We did not break anything to do this, and it was entirely too simple to do. We still felt safe, though, since the main entrance was locked and code protected and our room had a bolt and safety lock. (3) The bathroom was extremely small and the water pressure was not good. (4) Our sink leaked constantly. (5) Our TV did not work. (6) Our safe did not work. (7) The floors were dirty. After meeting other travelers around San Juan, we realized we over paid (by a lot) for what we got. I would not stay here again unless it was at a big discount.

The staff were more than helpful, from the second we walked in Lewis immediately greeted us with drinks (free open bar) and gave us great tips on how to start our vacation. Also the communication between staff was top notch! I will most definitely be staying here again when I visit back.

This was the perfect hotel for my first visit to San Juan, and I can't wait to return. Me & my mom came to celebrate my moms Birthday. And mentioning it doing check in, we were given a couple of Birthday drinks to redeem before we left the hotel to celebrate the occasion. Thanks Sylviani & Sabilya. Awesome & Professional at all times! The staff treated us well. I liked the fact that the hotel provided shuttle service to and from Old San Juan & to one of the close by beaches. Our view from the 5th floor was great also. We could see the pool & the water fountain across the street. They were both beautiful with the different colored lights at night The location was great, and a lot of things to do within walking distance. T-Mobile district was a 2 minute walk. ******, 5 minute walk. Make sure you get pictures in front of the I love PR sign that's close by. Thanks again and hope to see you soon!

It was an excellent hotel. The front desk staff was extremely helpful—a special thanks to Alejandra and also to a young guy (how I wish I would remember his name) at the concierge desk- who made my trip memorable by guiding me to do some fun things on this short trip.

The hotel room was very comfortable. The swimming pool brought many people during the day and afternoon, and there was a smell of urine by the pool. The location is also good. A taxi to the old town will cost around 10 knives and will not spend too much on traffic. Breakfast was good too!

The second hotel of choice for San Juan, Hyatt Place is a business hotel across the street. Closer to the Old Town of San Juan, less than ten minutes by car. There are not many places to eat around the hotel, but there is a big WalMart in a six or seven minute drive. The room has a kitchenette, tableware and pots, and condiments are simple in configuration. The hotel is relatively new, the environment is not large and delicate, the swimming pool is relatively small behind the hotel, other entertainment gyms, and game rooms are also available. Parking is relatively large, around $ 16 a night. Good breakfast, although not many varieties, but clean. The overall cost is relatively expensive, and various taxes are equivalent to about 3500 a night when checking out, which is not cost-effective.

More of a 4.5 out of 5 but I didn't have that option. The hotel was very pretty, great lobby ( mixed emotions about the caged birds but I don't know their story so---) , great bar, friendly service, good food options although way over priced and just ok, not amazing. Although the Puerto Rican restaurant on the property Mojitos had great drinks and the friendliest service. We preferred eating here over the other on property restaurants but still over priced. I suggest eating every meal off property. Now that we know there isnt anything special about the on property restaurants, thats what we'll do next time. Getting an Uber is very easy and you're a very short ride from a huge number of restaurants. I posted some Google reviews of our dining experiences but i'll post some here, too. The hotel location is great, right on the beach and 10 minutes from Old San Juan. We had a beautiful view of the beach, ocean and amenities from our room. Loved the little balcony. I think most, if not all rooms have a balcony. The elevators were very fast, we were in the 9th floor. This may not be a big deal but even though those days are over for me , i remember long waits at slow elevators with wet, tired little ones, not fun. The time of year we went was perfect (late August) after thr high season, so no huge crowds. We were able to enjoy the hammock ”park” on the property and find chairs on the beach in a great spot. Speaking if the beach, if you're looking for waves you're not really going to get them. There's a man made rock border to prevent what looked like could be some pretty intense waves were in not for that barrier. The beach is kind of a calm bay but it's nice. A beautiful blue and watching the waves crash against the rocks is a great sight to see. Exploring Old San Juan was awesome. The beautiful colors, the architecture, the history, the narrow streets, it really takes you on a journey. Great shopping and besides the touristy t shirt places, there were plenty of great artisan shops. Old San Juan is still recovering from hurricane Maria (I know - it's crazy) so there are lots of streets undergoing road construction and some businesses that are shuttered but the construction doesn't get in the way and there are a shops and restaurants galore. The construction does mean sometimes you have to maneuver to avoid closed sidewalks and may be walking under scaffolds but sort of like any major city undergoing construction because of growth, not disaster. We visited two of Old San Juan's forts (look like castles) Castillo San Cristobal & Puerta de San Juan. You get two great walks through old San Juan to both of them. All uphill to Puerta de San Juan bur a good uphill, not so strenuous that you don't enjoy the actual walk. It was pretty hot so luckily, there were plenty of places to choose from if you want to stop and have a refreshment or lunch. It's pretty easy to get turned around on the narrow, intersecting streets but just keep your tourist map handy. T

I booked this hotel by accident. The hotel is new and in a good location. I booked a deluxe king-size bed this time. The front desk service was very enthusiastic and they arranged a room for me. The scenery outside the window attracted us the most. The lake view is beautiful. The hotel's service is a plus point. It was a special trip. Satisfied.
