Denny made sure that we were not thirsty with his refreshing guava mimosas and other drinks. Our day started with freshly brewed coffee and a selection of food items which were customized. Our daily visits to the bar and restaurant were very satisfactory ! Denny and his staff, Francisco, Alondra and Christian provided outstanding service and a relaxed atmosphere. When leaving on our cruise we were so happy to have chosen the Casablanca Hotel and would definitely come back to visit ! Thank you guys for a memorable stay ! More 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

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

Right in the heart of old San Juan, it was a great location to branch out from when looking for food or things to do. Staff were helpful with directions and recommendations. We were upgraded to a suite so we had lots of room. Everything was just right. Unfortunately, due to high winds, the rooftop was closed. Due to renovations the elevators were not working, but staff were readily available to help with bags. We did not eat in the hotel, so I cannot comment on their food options.We were able to store our luggage in the morning after check-out so we didn't have to drag it around when we went looking for breakfast. It is close enough to the Carnival cruise terminal to walk with your luggage, but the cobblestone streets make it a bit of a challenge so if you have a lot of heavy luggage, consider spending a few bucks on a taxi.
Note: most cruise lines board at another location in the harbour, so check first before booking the hotel, or plan on a longer taxi ride (the other cruise pier is not in old San Juan). read less

Thankfully, with the help of my in-laws, we were able to get a reservation at this adorable boutique hotel. From the moment we entered and waited to check-in at the desk, my husband and I fell in love with this business. The art is funky and eclectic while instilling a "get to know your fellow travelers in the lobby" kind of vibe. The front desk staff we interacted with were both helpful and charming. Due to the impending storm during our stay, most of the local businesses were boarded up and closed our first day there. We were able to find a few restaurants that were open, all of which were slammed with a constant flow of customers but unfortunately were not able to find a supermarket open by afternoon. The man at the front desk was quick to run around (in the rain) to find out which bodegas were still open. We were not expecting this service but were extremely pleased and he was able to point out exactly where they were on the map available at the front desk. The tubs on the roof were lovely, albeit a bit cold after being rained on all day. All in all, we loved their hospitality and have already discussed returning to Old San Juan and staying here on future Caribbean trips. read less

Its location in the center of the city made everything within walking distance, from top restaurants to bars to historic places to visit. The room was quaint and cozy and the decor in the lobby was so quirky and eclectic. The front desk was helpful and gave us recommendations on places to see, food to eat, and bars to stop by at. There is no doubt I'll recommend this hotel to friends and family if they ever visit PR! read less

I’ve been unable to reach any office person during the day and I landed at 4 AM but I decided to swing by anyway and see. The night desk manager, Michael, was super helpful, kind and stored or two bags for us. He also directed us to the best breakfast joint in old San Juan. I’m hoping the restless day will be as delightful as Michael was. read less

Immediately we got hit with a beautiful front desk area and the staff was super friendly and accommodating. We booked it as a pre and post cruise hotel because the it was in the center of everything and walking distance to the port. Both rooms were unique and very comfortable. The rooftop was perfect to unwind after a long day of walking.The staff gave fantastic suggestions about what to do and where to eat. Overall, beautiful hotel with great staff. Will definitely stay there again. 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

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 knew it was likely the hotel would not have AC after the hurricane and upon arrival were told they did not. They gave us a discount and made sure our every need was taken care of, had fans in the room, etc. Even carried our luggage up four flights with a smile.
My husband contacted them about our daughter's purse 3 days after leaving it at the hotel and they saved it for us for a week AND let us hang out at the hotel today while waiting on our flight.
Super friendly and the rooms (and building) are cool! The sunrise from the 6th floor rooftop is amazing! read less

My room was not very big, but it had everything I needed, and I wouldn't have needed more space. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to others! 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
