Its a very clean hotel with many places to eat within walking distance as well as a movie theater, grocery store, and pharmacy down the street. It has a nice restaurant and rooftop pool that is very relaxing. The room was clean and had an ice maker, large sink and refrigerator. The only things I would improve are the lighting in the rooms - its somewhat dim if you need to do some work - they only have lamps and one small accent light in the ceiling - at least in the room I was in. The bathroom sink in my room was very small- couldn't hold toothbrush, razor, etc on it like most sinks. Those are small inconveniences - overall it's a very nice place to stay, the staff is very friendly and helpful and the location was great.

What a fantastic boutique hotel. The staff treats you like family. Check in is easy, the rooms are clean. Beds are very comfortable. They are in touch throughout your stay to make sure you have everything you need. We stayed in the penthouse but have also stayed in a small room there that is equally nice. My daughter lives in San Juan so we visit often. My family spent a day on the rooftop pool and the bartender made sure we had drinks all day! They brought us appetizers to the pool deck at lunch. What a fantastic place. I hope they always have availability when I’m in San Juan!

Don Rafa checked all of the boxes for our family of 4. We stayed for one night before we left on a cruise. The location was close to the pier and easy to get to cool surrounding restaurants. The hotel was fabulous from the moment we arrived. The spaces were beautiful, clean, super instagram-worthy and the staff was friendly and very helpful. Drinks at the bar were fantastic but the bartender was even better- fun drinks based on our preferences and great advice for what to do in the area in our short visit. Our teenage daughters loved the rooftop sundeck with a perfect for laying in the sun! The room was spacious for us for one night with a comfortable bed and shockingly comfortable pull out couch. We were pleasantly surprised by the breakfast that was included. As mentioned, staff was eager to help, professional and happy to help in any way. This beautiful hotel met every need we had and provided way more than major chain hotels offer. We could not be any happier with our stay at Don Rafa.

The hotel is classic with lots of art and story of Don Rafa. The hotel has QR codes that told story of the hotel and some of the art. The staff were really nice especially the night front desk guy. He was really helpful with recommendations of where to eat and other things to do in PR. We connected about his formal residence in NYC. Anyway he was really nice. The only issue I had with the hotel is the complimentary continental breakfast. It could be better. It only consists of deli meat, breads, muffins, yogurt, box oatmeal & fruits. It definitely could be better & healthier.

I had an amazing experience at this hotel from start to finish. The staff made sure everything was perfect—friendly, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. From check-in to check-out, the service was consistently outstanding. The place is absolutely stunning, sexy and artsy look. I prefer this kind of small spaces than huge hotels.
One of the highlights of my stay was the complimentary breakfast. There was a great variety of options, from fresh fruit and pastries and coffee although I wish they had hot food. Everything was delicious, and it was such a great way to start the day without having to leave the hotel.
The location is incredibly convenient—close to shops, restaurants, and good spots, which made exploring the area easy. Whether you're in town for business or vacation, you really can’t beat the accessibility.
Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Clean rooms, top-notch service, and thoughtful extras like the free breakfast really set this hotel apart. I’ll definitely be coming back!
