Traveled with my husband and our 20 year daughter while she was on break from university. Spent three nights at the Gallery Inn and then three nights on Vieques. Inn property and common areas are beautiful and unique. Location was wonderful for all the activities we wanted in the city for 2 1/2 days before heading to Vieques. That said,... More

Beautiful people, wonderful interior design, and the most soul I've ever had the privilege to experience as a hotel guest. We actually went there to try to find something cheaper than the hotel we were staying with at the time, but ended up falling in love with the gallery and paying a far higher price than at our old hotel...

Although we did not stay here, my husband and I walked over to check out this hotel and ended up staying for dinner. This place is incredibly unique and eclectic. The owner met us at the door with a large, white parrot perched on her shoulder. We enjoyed wonderful service from our waitress, "Kelly". I ordered the fish, my husband... More

Totally unique venue - very high density of beauty and uniqueness. Our rooms this time (we have had better rooms on an earlier trip) were small and uninteresting, but why spend time in your room when there are so many fascinating indoor and outdoor spaces? Dinner was an amazing experience, in a beautifully surreal dining room, accompanied by wonderful live... More

I loved The Gallery Inn, and it really made my whole visit to Old San Juan all the better. It was beautiful and relaxing, with wonderful places to sit and read. I felt separate from the world, and yet still connected to Old San Juan and all its history. I had a room with a balcony that overlooked both the... More

I agree with another poster "this is not for everyone". But if you like exotic and unusual lodging, give it a try. I won't repeat all the pluses about artwork, plants, parrots, courtyards open to the sky, etc. It's a good place for the able-bodied with good vision -- Some things to be aware of: this is NOT for Aunt...

My wife and I stayed at the Gallery Inn in Viejo San Juan for a mere two nights prior to our very first ocean cruise, but fell head over heels in love with this hotel, its owners and their staff, and their commitment to arts and culture. (And with the parrots...mustn't forget Jan's parrots.) The facility is both rustic and... More

the gallery inn truly is a remarkable place. we enjoyed both the location and the place itself immensely. unfortunately, while the cleaning, maintenance, and cooking staff were wonderful, the rest of the staff were about as helpful as the state trooper who pulls you over for speeding - same expression also, not very warm in other words which did dampen...

My husband and I stayed at the Gallery Inn in January 2012 and we loved it!!! It was a unique experience but to enjoy the hotel you truly have to enjoy history and art. We traveled with another couple who did not like the Inn as much as the two of us. However, as I stated above, you have to... More

This place is magic. Hands down one of the most unique, enjoyable stays I’ve had; probably ever will have. During our time there I felt we were surrounded by pure inspiration (I type this even with the fear of sounding cheesy.) The owners and their staff were wonderful. The building was phenomenal - a museum in its own right. There’s... More
