Hotel Rio Piedras

.

The staff were nice and accommodating. Place is accessible to the park, church, museums commercial areas.

Very nice stay on park. Restaurant on first floor, this hotel is next to church on park so you are in the middle of everything. Many cafes, restaurants and shops. Staff is friendly and room was clean.

I wanted a room right in the middle of the center of town and I got it. I also wanted a place that wasn’t very expensive and very low key and I got that as well. However I didn’t realize it was a 3 star hotel and I guess I got what I paid for. At first I was put in a room with a balcony looking out to the main square. Sounds lovely but it was packed with people (because of Semana de Santa - Easter) and extremely loud in the room. So I asked to be moved to another room which the staff did with no problems. They were very nice which was the best part of the hotel. The room felt like a prison cell. White walls, no pictures and no windows at all. Luckily I had a fan because it was rather warm in there. It was clean but that’s the best I can say. The free breakfast was lacking as well. I only ate it once. One egg, one piece of slightly toasted bread and some fruit that may have been canned. Also there was no water for a shower on the day I was to leave but I think the whole town was like that so I cant blame the hotel. I dislike making negative comments like this because the people who work there are just wonderful . Really nice and really helpful. I’d suggest staying elsewhere off the main square and go to Jerico at another time not during a holiday because you’ll be joined by 100’s of others!
