We loved our stay here. The staff is incredible - so friendly. The front desk staff knew our names and used them every time she saw us after check-in. The room was very comfortable. It was easy to walk around beer. It was also conveniently located to catch an Uber to Old San Juan. I would highly recommend this hotel. We cannot wait to return.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Don Rafa hotel. The staff was phenomenal. The room was beautiful. We had only two notes-a dresser in the room would’ve been useful. We managed to get by with an extra suitcase stand but more drawer space would’ve been welcome. The only other note is if you are on the street side, the windows are quite thin and it sounds as though they are open when loud noises go by. It was not a make or break situation and we definitely would return given the opportunity.

Nice property very clean and good atmosphere. The room was huge and spacious with a comfortable bed. We had a problem with the water pressure in the shower and the water would get super hot then super cold without touching the handle, very frustrating when showering.
