Probably the best and nicest place in Puerto Rico. Miguel was amazing. Make sure to hit the rooftop deck.

The cleanliness of our rooms really stood out. Our first stay was a huge room with a sitting area. (See picture.). We had to carry our luggage up stairs though to get to it. The second stay (a week after we came back from our cruise) provided a very small room which was hard to maneuver around 5 pieces of luggage. We were able to use the elevator to access our room then though. Staff was helpful. Checking in and out was a breeze. We were able to drop off our luggage until check-in in a small room off the lobby which was great for our timing. read less

First of all it's in the perfect location if you want to be able to walk to any restaurant/shop in Old San Juan. The hotel is beautifully decorated and styled and is clean. My only complaint would be the musty smell in our room, I suppose this is probably standard in any of the hotel rooms around the area though. Staff was extremely kind and helpful. read less

We had a small interior room. It's an old hotel but clean and well-maintained. Great location for exploring Old San Juan. We were able to walk with our luggage down to the cruise port (about 3 blocks). Front desk staff was super friendly and helpful. They even offered to store our bags for a few hours after our cruise since we had a late flight. read less

What this hotel is, is purely authentic old town San Juan. From the moment you enter you will go back in time and feel like it's 1900, but with excellent air conditioning. Each room we saw was well appointed and the artwork is great. We had room H9 which was upstairs and opened up onto the sun deck. We had easy access to the outdoor tubs, which seem cheesy, but after a long day of walking and sweating are the perfect way to soak out the aches and enjoy a beer. The breakfast is nothing spectacular, but a couple of eggs, yoghurt, toast and coffee was enough to get me moving and I didn't have go looking. The hotel has an understated luxury that I found more alluring than a big named, box hotel. There will be cats on the terrace, you will hear the neighbors dogs bark, not ever surface is level and the furniture is period. The hotel marries modern with antique in a manner that keeps you comfortable, yet allows you to embrace the classic. If you are staying in the old city, stay here. It will really complete the experience. read less

A week after getting home, I am still thinking about how beautiful it is and how kind the staff were to my mother. She has been taking Spanish classes in retirement and had so much fun testing her communication skills with the hotel employees -- especially the housekeeping staff. Staying here made our trip to Old San Juan very special. As mentioned in another review, if a large room size, strong water pressure, fast elevator, and luxury are important to you, then a chain hotel is probably a better fit. If you're less picky about that stuff, and you want a bit of magic, then the CasaBlanca Hotel is perfect. read less

When we checked in, we were greeted by the friendliest and most helpful individual. When I expressed disappointment that we didn't get the room with a view we had requested upon reservation, he promptly swapped our reservation for a 5th floor room next to a lobby with a crystal clear view of El Morro. Each room is uniquely and individually appointed, and you never get the same environment or decor twice. From the pictures, you can gather that some rooms are more luxurious than others, but all are impeccably clean, fun, and lovely.

We waffled and waffled about this decision between the Mosaic Art Suites, CasaBlanca, and El Convento, and I'm so pleased we chose CasaBlanca. The location is unbeatable, the rooftop views (and tubs -- you simply MUST give them a try....we totally fell asleep in them) are breathtaking, and the hotel itself is just super, super cool. Side note: they installed a lovely glass elevator last month, so stairs should no longer be a deterrent for less mobile patrons.

Here's my only complaint: if you're like us and rented a car in order to get to El Yunque rainforest, parking is a B-I-T-C-H (seriously). Via many online recommendations, we mostly parked in Dona Fela, but found that an even better option is the Covadonga Parking Garage down the street for a better price (but it's only open to the public at certain times). Make sure you always have cash if you're going to opt for a car and thus the Old San Juan parking garage experience. read less

The pictures really don't do it justice. You have to come and stay here to see for yourself. I honestly can't imagine staying anywhere else and plan on coming back next year.

My husband and I are stayed here for our honeymoon. He booked this really quick. Even though the pictures were amazing, I was hoping it looked just as good in person....and it does and then some!

The staff is extremely helpful and friendly! I like that they have continental breakfast. This is the perfect spot for a romantic getaway. I feel at peace here and I need that after planning my wedding for 2 years....it's the best place to come to and relax. It is also very close to restaurants, shops, and the beach. read less

We will be back! read less

We were both very pleased with the level of service we received. Our flight arrived early on the 8th. Michael (night shift coordinator) was on duty when we arrived. He stored our luggage and suggested a great cafe to go have breakfast. When we returned Jorge the daytime service coordinator was on duty. For a very small fee we were able to have early check in as they had a room made up for us while we were at breakfast.
Other members of our group arrived later that afternoon, & Jorge made sure they knew where to find us.
The rooms are not large and amenities in the room are limited. That said, it is very clean & the staff was outstanding. We would definitely stay here again. read less

( I booked through booking .com  by mistake ) as I usually go directly through the hotel website anytime I book a reservation!
The room we had was great all the comforts of home , the staff was great very accommodating and the breakfast in the morning very nicely done ! On our last day they called us a cab to the airport it was so nice it just made it easier for our trip ! I would recommend Villa Herencia Hotel to anyone traveling to Old San Juan thank you for the wonderful stay at your beautiful hotel we will definitely stay again read less

I'm used to getting a lackluster room when I book last-minute through a third-party site, but even though I did that, I got an end room with windows on three sides and killer views. I'm a natural light fanatic, and this old building seems to have lots of windows (or at least translucent light shafts) wherever possible. (Speaking of light, the light fixtures in room are soft light, not garish florescents; though the room was a tad dark -- could have used another lamp.)
The decor is really well done. The Casablanca movie theme had the potential to be heavy-handed and gimmicky, but it doesn't feel that way -- rooms and common areas are done up in a stylish, vaguely Moroccan way (fans of the movie will appreciate the themed touches; those who don't care won't be annoyed by them). Our room had great built-in features (like a wooden desk with a view of the fort), wooden shutters, etc. and nice furnishings, bedding, etc.
Roof deck is sweet! Also, the higher-floor (3rd-5th?) rooms at the ends (like room numbers A and G) should have best views of the fort, as well as street (A) and port (G).
Staff was very friendly.
Everything in Old San Juan is very walkable, so the location is fine.
I really feel like we got a great value. read less

My whole family loved it. Not only because of it's absolute elegance but also because of the wonderful service. I'd Like to commend Jorge for going above and beyond in making sure that we were confortable and had a pleasant stay. We arrived at the hotel pretty early and decided to walk around Old San Juan for a couple of hours since check in time is later in the afternoon around 3 pm. Tired and exhausted from walking, we decided to head back to our hotel. It was about an hour early before check in time. Jorge could tell how exhausted we were so he immediately gave us a room available. It may seem like nothing but it meant a lot for us since we badly needed a nap. Also he recommended an awesome restaurant to eat and it didn't disappoint. Thanks Jorge! Keep up the great work! We will stay in CasaBlanca Hotel again in the future. Highly recommended. read less

I spent a long time comparison shopping hotels in the Old San Juan area and I can confidently say that Villa Herencia is probably the best value available. Here is what I loved:
Pros: Beautiful building, courtyard and roof - great way to relax if you don't want to sit in your room all day. Fantastic location. Walking distance to restaurants and historical sites. Friendly staff. Free continental breakfast. Clean room with windows facing the courtyard. Each room has an individual bathroom.
Cons (hardly worth mentioning): room was small, but I didn't spend much time there anyway, so who cares? Dim lighting. Not worth knocking off a star for either of these. read less
