No es lo mismo visitar el viejo San Juan, que vivir (aunque sea por unas noches) en el. Hay algo magico en despertar en una comoda cama king y contemplar ventanas y puertas de madera obscura y cristales templados a tu alrededor. Posar los pies en un piso de alternadas losas blancas y negras y caminar a un baño forrado en marmol. Al salir de la habitación estas en un jardin o antiguo pasillo de estilo colonial y en ruta a una gran mesa en madera solida dentro de un salón que exhala antiguedad por sus paredes y techos. Unas jovenes amables te traen en bandeja de plata un balanceado desayuno, que dejara satisfecho al mas exigente de los huespedes. Cafe y jugo de piña a gusto y tranquilidad que invita a cojer con calma el resto del día. Un paso fuera del hotel y ya estas caminando sobre suelos historicos de otra epoca de esta bella isla caribeña. Creo que no deberias vivir una vida entera en Puerto Rico y negarte la oportunidad de despertar en el viejo San Juan. read less

We really enjoyed our stay, but I wouldn't recommend it for everyone.

One of the biggest pros is the locations. This is right across from the main cathedral in the heart of old town (hidden next door to the exorbitantly expensive Hotel El Convento) -- and just a block from the coast. It's also just a short walk to the castle. The down side is that if you're renting a car, it can be a bit difficult to get all the way here and down the tiny cobbled streets. There is also NO HOTEL PARKING -- you'll need to valet right next to the cathedral for $21/day. Trust me, you want to do that.

The staff is absolutely fantastic -- very helpful and willing to give you a list of recommendations for where to go for the best food, the best drinks, the best music, etc.

The rooms themselves are definitely different. Very much on the small side. Our room fit our bed, a tiny night stand, mini dresser, and little TV. You can barely even pass each other inside. The shower is big enough, but the water had only 2 settings: cold and scalding. So we had to do a bit of back-and-forth regulating. The bed made a lot of creaking noises, which woke us up at night sometimes -- and probably made some inappropriate noises since I was with my fiance 😉 The electricity also went out one of the mornings, but we decided to just go into town, and it was back on when we came back. So overall, not the biggest or most luxurious accommodations, but certainly unique. read less

Cobblestone streets, town squares, ancient churches and excellent restaurants within a very easy walk.

Rooms aren't large, but beautifully decorated with every amenity required. Great bed as I had a super 10 hr sleep.

The ambience of the open courtyard, the eclectic breakfast room and the flower-filled upstairs patio all added to a delightful experience.

I only wish I had more than one night. It will definitely be a home base on my next trio read less

I did not stay here yet but I was allowed to take a tour of the property. Magnificent, quaint and personal enough to feel like you are staying in an historic villa with 10 rooms. This place is beyond romantic and located on right side of forked road at tip of OSJ. Any place with cobblestone streets has depth for me. The porcelain tubs on roof, the greenery adorned walls and even neighboring homes with garden floral tapestries. Art, lighting and arched halls add to experience. There is a long table dining area with chandeliers and book exchange menageries throughout. Look out for the gramophone record player. I decided to gift a weekend stay here to my son and his girlfriend. read less

Due to covid they don’t have breakfast now, but location is the best in old San Juan. The rooftop deck is awesome, and if you’re driving, you can park for $3 a day at La puntilla parking and walk along the coast about 5 minutes to the hotel, very easy and cheap. read less

The rooms maybe small but the comfort, style, and location are huge! From the outside it doesn't appear to be much, however once those doors open you can start to see all the personality and charm Villa Herencia has to offer.

From the moment I arrived I knew I chose right. The young lady checking me in was very bubbly and helpful. She was just full of personality. She told me about the hotel, explained how breakfast works, showed me to my room, then walked my upstairs to show me the roof deck.

It was a great stay! I would definitely stay again! read less

Beautiful rooms and upstairs patio , great location and friendly staff, we had a great time here!
