The hotel is aslo in a great location within walking distance to all the Old San Juan attractions. Most important though was how hopsitable and helpful the staff were. Cynthia gave me so many wonderful restuarant reccomendations and directions and helped me and a couple at the hotel find a tour guide to El Yunque when our original guide canceled in the morning. As a solo traveler unfamiliar to Puerto Rico this was beyond helpful. They will also hold your luggage while you go explore. I would absolutely stay here again anytime I revisit Old San Juan.

Everything was clean and everything we needed was addressed immediately. My husband left his glasses and we were notified and they were so kind to mail them to us.

We stayed at the hotel with a big group and everyone was very comfortable. The hotel is updated, clean and well run.There is a beautiful rooftop lounge (with views) that our party spent lots of time hanging out on. Restaurants and bars are just steps away from the hotel, and nearby beaches are a $10 Uber ride away. I would stay here again, and definitely recommend this hotel! 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

Casa Blanca is near many local shops, attractions, and restaurants within walking distance. The staff was polite and friendly upon checking in the young woman greeted me and provided more resources about places I should visit. I stayed for 5 days and my experience was pleasant. I will stay at Casa Blanca when visiting again.

Casa Blanca also has a cafe but their renovating and closed for a few months 🙁 read less

The restaurant on the main floor was so so good and the service was excellent. The roof top terrace was great to go out on and enjoy the evening air and to was the city go by!!! If you love Old San Juan you will LOVE Casablanca Hotel. Another must stay in this beautiful city. read less

Love the mojito. Drinks are cheap and wonderfully made. Style and decor is a little Moroccan. Beautiful painted portraits on the wall.

Staff that greeted us outside said we would get a free shot just for coming in and we did. It was delicious! read less

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

My wife and I have been spoiled, not only is the location absolutely perfect but this hotel has a great staff helped us with every answer to every question and meet or every needs. Beautifully designed with the addition of the roof top terrace to put a cherry on top. The only thing I was disappointed in is the bar not being opened. I could of used a few night caps. 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 staff was friendly and the their service extends beyond just your stay! We were able to leave our bags after checkout and stop in to use the restroom and rooftop lounge when we returned from our cruise.
It is within walking distance to one cruise port, but not the other, so check your port location if you're staying here for a cruise. This location isn't ideal if you plan to stay in the hotel all day, it's small with not a lot of amenities, but there were just enough to make the experience memorable. We'll be back! read less

We could even walk yo our cruise ship with our luggage. The desk clerk was so nice and the Hotel was even nicer than the pictures. We showed up a day before our cruise and enjoyed the Forts. They will also hold your luggage after you check out so you can explorer while you are waiting to board your cruise! The rooftop deck has outside bath tubs to relax while enjoying a bottle of wine. We will be back! 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

Quaint rooms that fully immerse you with it's historic Spanish colonial architecture. Definitely a first choice for those who love history and culture. I recommend booking online as it was a third of the price versus getting a reservation in person. 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 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

So glad I chose it. The room was lovely, as was the rest of the hotel, with beautiful views of the city from several spots. What's more is the staff were gracious! I injured my arm while in the city, they provided me with a bucket of ice and small plastic bags. Then after we checked out, we realized we had left something behind in the room. We called them from the airport. The item was found and they sent it to us (back to NY) and we received it the next week. I could not have been happier with their level of compassion and responsibility. read less

Hector was pleasant, courteous and attentive to my food allergies. We ordered two omelettes, a fruit bowl and coffee. I am not a frequent coffee drinker - this was the best coffee I've had.

The eggs came with a version of home fries that are better than, but closely related to potato chips. The fruit mix was fresh and had papaya. Recommended for ambiance, good food and nice staff. read less

The decor of the hotel is fab of the fab, almost feel like lost in 16th century Europe with a hint of Caribbean. Really made my first day in San Juan!

We had a clean, comfortable room with delightful air conditioning. We has a balcony overlooking Calle Fortaleza. We had a rooftop area to view all four corners of Old San Juan. But most important . . . we experienced incredible hospitality. From Jorge welcoming us as we pulled up in front of the hotel, to the fabulous breakfasts prepared each morning by Denny, to the daily tour info from Miguel & Michael. From the first call to the hotel and Cynthia's assistance with our reservation, I just could not ask for more! Thank you to the whole Casablanca team! read less

This hotel is quiet, even though it’s ON THE PROTEST STREET!
It was safe. The staff assisted in all of our needs.
This is a quaint beautiful hotel. Clean-daily housekeeping did a great job. The staff-ALL (especially the males ) were great. Offered suggestions and just visited with us.
The rooms were so quiet. We had a balcony room and never heard any noise when the balcony door was closed.
The AC worked great. Water was hot. Shower was good.
Beds were very nice.
We had the suite-King room, and adjoining 2 twin bed room. It’s a large room.
We went up to the rooftop just to check it out but the bath tubs didn’t interest us.
The halls and lobby are beautifully decorated.
Without a doubt, we will stay here again.
You can’t beat the location. And you can’t beat the service. read less
