What a clean, comfortable, fabulous, historically old, and charming location to stay in Old San Juan! I came for the experience of Viejo San Juan and got it in the hotel setting but with modern comfort (AC & ceiling fan). I was able to walk the old city and enjoy it’s restaurants and shops. If and when I return to San Juan, I’ll definitely return to Casa of Essence. I’m so glad to have found this gem! I’ll recommend it to friends/family coming here.

The stay is in a great area. All spots in old san juan are walkable from this place. The water heater was not working when we checked in. The owner was responsive and got it fixed. The floor was peeling off.

We stayed 5 nights at cassa de essence right near San Christobal Fort and plaza. Everything was within walking distance. My husband and I rented the patio room very quaint and perfect for us. Mildred our host was very helpful absolutely nice and welcoming, they treat you like a family here I felt safe with the three codes that you need to get into the hotel. Crystal is the daughter if you need any other accommodations she’s the go to person very nice and respectful. I rate this place a 10 I will be back soon. Thank you for this great experience.

Lovely but you might want to bring earplugs. But it is in old San Juan. The hotel is beautiful. And it’ s a perfect location.

We booked the Luxury Studio for our family of 3. It was the right size for us. True to the pictures and cleanliness. The accommodation details were easy to follow and are available for any questions. We loved how close we were to everything! There’s a grocery store right next to it which was a plus! We booked this trip for my sister-in-laws wedding and we wanted to be close to the wedding venue at Casa de España which was an 8 minute walk. Bonuses: Less than a minute walking distance from Caficultura (best vanilla latte). Mavi and Alfredo have delicious empanadas! Short Walking distance from Castillo Cristobal (about 5 mins) and about 15-20 min walk to el Morro (save your receipt and you can show the other for free entry). We also booked an appointment at Senzala Tattoo Shop which was also less than a minute walk. Thank you so much!

Perfect location. The entire historic district is so walkable. The only reason for 4 stars rather than 5 for cleanliness was it was a little dusty. And I gave it 4 stars for property condition because there were no smoke detectors and the windows were inoperable, which made me uneasy.
