Nice and clean place to stay in old San Juan. We felt very safe and it was close to shops, restaurants and
Brent M, 2-night trip

Great place to stay.
Jose, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I had a great stay at Casa of Essence. The staff were exceptionally friendly, making early check in easy. The property was very clean, both in the rooms and in the common areas, which made the stay even more comfortable. The location couldn’t be better — it’s close to almost everything in Old San Juan, so we were able to walk to restaurants, shops, historic sites, and the waterfront without needing transportation. Overall, Casa of Essence provided a comfortable and convenient base for exploring the city, and I’d happily stay here again.
Steven, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

You can walk around and find something to do all day
Maria, 2-night trip

I stayed in the patio room, included a mini fridge a microwave, private bathroom, TV, and wifi. Very convinent location, walking distance to most Old San Juan attractions. Beach towels and bath towels are provided.

Rashawndra, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I loved the location, and the way it looks once you entered the building. The people is very friendly and if you have any question they will answer you very quickly. I hope I can go back to the Island soon, and I would definitely stay in this place again.

Very close to Plaza Colon was great!
Myron, 9-night trip

6/10 Okay

When the reservation was made, we expected the room designated would match the reservation photos. This was not the case. We were given a small room where we needed to ask for toiletries. There was a significant decrease in water pressure for showering, flushing etc. by the end of our stay. The property was being painted during the day and we had to be extremely careful not to touch the elevator interior to avoid getting paint on our luggage. The elevator would not reach even to the floor and you had to step up.
Angela, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Best place to stay
Himesh, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Property is located in a very central area. Easy check in instructions available. The building is quite old and needs some TLC. The downside is that they also had quite a bit of cockroaches crawling everywhere and would benefit from a fumigation.
Rina, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Location was perfect. We had a great stay
Timothy, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location, easy to walk everywhere. Very cozy apartment on 3rd floor with elevator.
Adriana, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful room in the Old San Juan. Responsive and attentive host. Safe building with access only with passcode. Liked the welcome drink. Very close to the Old Castle, and the famous Mallorca breakfast place. Would have liked a window though.
Rajal, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Check in was so easy and the host was friendly and helpful. Our room was so beautiful and the location was perfect, such a great experience for our first time in PR. I definitely recommend this place if you plan to stay in old San Juan.
Christine, 2-night trip

This is the perfect location for your first trip to Puerto Rico! You can spend an entire week just looking at everything within walking distance.
Devin, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We loved how spacious and clean the room was we were staying at the Galleria and this was 100 times better. We would stay there again.!
Rick, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

I rented out 2 rooms one was good, the other had a roach infestation. This particular room was comfortable and very convenient for sight seeing around historic VSJ. It could be cleaner as is evident by our other room, owner and staff were friendly and quick to respond.
Myrna, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Very good location. Quirky but fun decor. One down side - the bed was full size, not queen or king which we prefer.

No staff on site but the owner is extremely responsive and provides all info needed for you stay. Door, gate, and room codes are sent out about the day before your arrival. Rooms are clean and have everything you need. Location cannot be beat. All of old San Juan is at your door step
