One night in San Juan before the cruise

The hotel’s location is superb: in the middle of old San Juan. You are close to everything. It’s very basic accommodation but clean and with a very good air conditioner. The only problem is the noise from the street. You hear absolutely everything and it doesn’t stop till 3:00am. So, next time I would not request a room with a balcony ( it’s decorative and useless, you can’t sit there). Plus, they have a nice patio on the top floor

Unable to access and not available

Do not recommend! They gave us the wrong code to the lockbox leaving us standing on the street at 10pm while they didn’t respond to any calls or messages. Hotels.com had to get us a hotel at the last minute in a different area. 5 stars for hotels.com. Zero for navano studios, would not recommend

The property was very clean and smelled good. The decor/welcoming was pretty and inviting. House keeping did a good job too. It was nice to come back to clean towels and so forth The shower water pressure was low and the hot water in the sink didn’t work. There was food left in the fridge

Navona Studios Stay

There’s not much to this hotel. The room is basically just for sleeping and showing. It’s super small and the keep in mind that you may have to walk up three flights depending on what room you receive with your luggage which is not easy to do. No parking in the area received a ticket my first night there. The service was good as the owner helped us when we arrived to check in. It’s located in a central location in Old San Juan which is a plus. Overall it was an okay stay.

No elevator but nice and comfortable!

The hotel is in a central location not too far from parking lots. For certain people, the stairs may be difficult (no elevator!). The hotel is nice and the rooms are small but well kept. We were only there one night and really didn't have any issues. We would stay here again.
