Cons: The room was smaller than it appears in the pictures. It appeared that we had a small balcony in the picture or at least a window that opened, but we did not. We went to breakfast at the restaurant and the waiter never came back to check on us. My husband liked his but my blueberry pancakes tasted like they came from an aunt Jemima box. For an expensive meal I was quite disappointed. I did receive a refund on mine though.

Pros: We liked everything! Location was very central to everything old San Juan has to offer. We loved the architecture, with the rooms off the courtyard. The thick brick walls kept the room very cool and quiet, and added to the charm. The upper deck was a great place to hang out. Huge breakfast room with a great selection on offer. Staff were very friendly and helpful. If we ever get back to San Juan, we will stay at Villa Herencia.

Pros: Just about everything! The location was AMAZING and so was the staff! Everyone was so friendly and engaging, I wanted to be friends with everyone. I arrived early and they ended up being able to check me in by 10 AM. Even jf they hadn't, they were willing to watch my luggage until then. The room was very cozy and beautiful! Little tight fit with the doorway. My Uber driver almost couldn't find it but I loved that. Felt very safe and lovely to be around. Little pricey but I saw how it was worth it. Went up the stairs and enjoyes the lounge up there as well. Definitely a great place!

My husband enjoyed relaxing in the hammock on several occasions. There was a small water leak in the first room we were placed in. Upon notifying the staff, we were quickly moved to another room. The staff was very friendly.

Cons: I signage for the hotel was very small making it a little difficult to locate the hotel. We had some pretty loud guests that checked in late during the evening of our stay. You could hear them talking and laughing very loudly in the atrium:courtyard area. There are quiet hours, but this did not seem to be enforced by the staff. My husband got up and opened the door to see what was going on, and the guests quieted down and went to the rooms at that point.

Pros: Hosts were very helpful and courteous. Our luggage was stored on site before our room was ready which allowed us to explore Old San Juan the morning we arrived. We received a phone call when our room was ready and came back to find that our hosts had moved all of our luggage to our room for us.
This is not a traditional hotel but felt more like a guest house. We had our own space, and the room was nice, but not super fancy. There was a common area with a kitchen sink and fridge and some seating, tables. The entrance to the Suites is through a storefront of a jewelry shop.
The Suites are in the heart of Old San Juan and within walking distance to many restaurants, shops, and other attractions. We stayed one night and about 24hours total, and it was just right for our needs.

Cons: Common area is right outside the doors to most suites. Our door was not sound-deadening by any means. We were awakened really early by some other guests who seemed to be leaving for the airport for a morning flight.
Also, seems to have some plumbing issues. Although the bathroom was modern and very clean, we were asked not to flush used toilet tissue down the toilet, which was a bit strange for us. A covered waste basket was available and it wasn’t a huge deal but certainly unexpected.

I need to talk to someone in the front desk to get my key, and they had a sign that says "for help text x number". Nobody answered until the next day when I had left already. How did I finally get my key? I opened the desk and there it was, no help, no security, no supervision. I just took it and kept going.

Pros: Friendly helpful staff. Excellent location. Iconoclastic décor.
Cons: I very much enjoyed staying at this hotel, but it does not meet the lowest level of fire safety standards. There is only one open stairway leading to all the floors and no secondary means of escape--not even a fire escape. There is not separation between the lobby and the restaurant. There is no sprinkler system.

Cons: It can be a bit noisy but at no fault of the hotel. When you stay on Fortaleza St you are in the center of the action and hear music from neighboring restaurants. We did not mind this. Being in the center of things was important to us and we felt part of the activity and excitement that is Old San Juan.
