It is located in the charming old town area of San Juan, Puerto Rico. While plain looking from the street, it has a lovely restored interior with high ceiling rooms, inner courtyard, lovely decor, comfortable beds, and good service. Affordable. I would stay there again if I could. A lovely place instead of staying at a big boring chain hotel. Gracias to the hosts for our stay 2 weeks ago. read less

You can also tell it's age if you look at the door hinges. You can see the old iron spikes from some of the original doors. They serve a simple breakfast that was more than enough and the WiFi was plenty fast (not that you'll need it much but just in case that's big for you). Located in old San Juan, it's close to several historical sites as well as one of the main commercial strips. I would definitely recommend. 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

The friendly staff caters to individual needs and go over and above. The sundeck suite was a quiet and cool room that opened to the fantastic rooftop terrace. The king size bed was super comfortable and the room was beautifully furnished. It even has a small refrigerator and microwave. We look forward to our next visit to Old San Juan and would definitely stay at Villa Herencia again! read less
