We truly enjoyed our stay at the Looking Glass Hotel. We spent six nights at this hotel, and wished we could have stayed longer.The staff were exceptional, as well as kind, and knowledgeable, and guide us every step of the way during our stay. Check in, and out, was so good, and smooth. Common areas, rooms, were sparkling clean.The staff's recommendations for restaurants, tours, attractions, and shopping areas, was very helpful as this was our first time visiting San Juan, Purto Rico. My family and I felt super safe, and comfortable. From the hotel, we were close to a 24 hour supermarket that carry various groceries, toiletries, hot foods, souvenirs, etc. Another pro is the hotel's location. This hotel is just ten minutes away from San Juan airport, which makes our vacation even better, without having to encounter long travel to and from the airport. Overall, I would encourage you to just book this hotel if you need comfort, cleanliness, and safety. We will definitely book again!

Stay April 2025

first of all parking was not included, it was an additional 25 per night plus tax, and the parking was a block away. Believe me it is very difficult to find parking on the street day or night. the room was very clean. The rooms lacked any type of sound proofing, it echoed pretty loud, in the middle of the night i can hear people using the bathroom. And you can here every conversation. the ear plugs on the night stand have been a give away.

Great stay. Front desk people were frie dly, and suggested restaurants nearby. The place is great and smells of essential oils. Very close to Centro de Bellas artes, and to Kaiju, an amazing Japanese fusion restaurant nearby.

The hotel accommodation was beyond our expectation. The Front Desk Clerk, Franny was extremely courteous and professional. Our interaction with her allowed us to have a memorable experience on our first visit to Puerto Rico. She is truly an asset to The Looking Glass Hotel and its customers. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to enjoy the local attractions and restaurants.

I rated Looking Glass good but they were excellent for what they were. We just didn’t realize they weren’t a full service hotel. No elevator, no restaurant, tiny room and they didn’t want toilet paper flushed due to the delicate plumbing. None of this would prevent us from staying again but know what you are booking. Very clean and friendly/helpful staff.
