“Good Stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

Recently stayed at Da House for 1 night before the cruise and we were happy with our choice.

1.Reception- Da House staff are very welcoming and helpful. They were very cheerful and funny! 5 Stars!!!
2.Location- WOW. Right in the middle of everything!!! Right-left-Up-Down there is so much to do and all within walking distance. Great restaurants, bars, forts, interesting architecture, you wont be bored. Shopping and alcohol store are all within walking distance too. For first time San Juan travelers: there is no beach in old San Juan but plenty of stuff to see, if you want beach stay on the other side of PR.
3.Rooms- very basic but very clean. Furniture is very minimal but did not need more! Noise-The building is old ( Spanish style) and has no noise isolation no matter where you stay. We stayed during 3 King celebration and party did not finish until 6:30 A.M. Ohhhh god puertoricans know how to party( jealous). We would have joined the party if I didn’t come down with cold. So just prepare yourself for a good party not good rest!
4.Building and Art- the building itself was very interesting and what owners, workers and artists did inside was incredible. The art was an experience on its own!.
5. Reccomendation- I would reccomend visiting Barrachina restaurant located 5 minutes from Da House. It is a birthplace of Pina Collada and has very cute patio!!!

I would definitely recommend staying at Da House and would return in a heartbeat. Just expect it to be very noisy!

“Very noisy”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

The room is okay, but certainly not great. There is a lot of noise, especially from the club and bar downstairs. No views what-so-ever. Housekeeping only when requested. Location okay, but not great for the money,

Room Tip: They are all noisy.

“Loved Da House, and da purple earplugs!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012

Stayed at Da House roughly same timeframe (Dec.27-28), and same floor as apparently unhappy customer below, but we knew what to expect and loved this place! Perfect spot for exploring Old San Juan and launching pad for 8-day island exploration. Brought earplugs with us, but my advice - take the purple ones they offer you at the front desk. All earplugs are not created equal!

“The earplugs they gave us came in handy”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012

We had a wedding to go to in Old San Juan and didn't want to spend too much money. The place was clean, very convenient if your entire trip is to be spent in Old San Juan. The room we got was directly above the salsa club and it certainly was LOUD with a stunning view of the alley. They warned us when we checked in that we could take some earplugs or "just join the party" - which lasted until about 5am every night. Very basic furniture - no frills at this place.. Good cultural boutique hotel (which unfortunately is not my thing). Definitely not a place to stay if looking for a 'Caribbean experience'.

“Friendly, artsy, and affordable hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 January 2012

The location of this hotel right off of La Plaza del Colon can't be beat. The staff was so helpful and friendly. The art is funky, the building had a great, old San Juan feel, and the hot tub on the roof made watching New Year's Eve fireworks unforgettable. I had a center room on the 4th floor that was listed as "partial noise" which still required ear plugs. I stayed here for five nights and by the third night I was used to the night club noise to fall asleep without them.

My only disclaimer: Da House must have an arrangement with Allied Car Rental as they helped me and other patrons book reservations with them. I've NEVER received worse customer service than Allied. They were absolutely awful.

Room Tip: Bring ear plugs - no matter which room you're booked in.
