I never leave property reviews, but our stay at Casa of Essence was a wonderful experience. The location is fantastic -- old San Juan is right outside the door and there are beaches only a ten minute walk away. The staff were incredibly helpful and polite, and overall I could not recommend this property enough. It made our trip to San Juan memorable, relaxing, and fun.

The kitchen was sufficiently stored. The room AC kept the room nice and cool and they had AC running when we arrived at mid nigh which was really appreciated. Location is excellent. The bed mattress could use a replacement to make the place perfect.

Beautiful property, full of charm and interesting antique finds! We stayed in the Crystal apartment, which was perfect for our family of 4 with two teens. Be aware that the street can get a bit noisy, but that’s true everywhere in Old San Juan. Our hosts were friendly and responsive, and the neighborhood is delightful. We’d definitely stay here again!

The Casa of Essence was a pleasant stay in old town San Juan. It is convenient to plaza Colon and therefore easy drop-off and pick-up. The hotel is hard to find as there isn't a sign, but the communication was excellent. The doors are opened by codes and the room was pleasantly cool. I highly recommend Casa of Essence.

The location was perfect for getting around. Check in was easy and the building is secure with door codes. The elevator was a welcome sight when you have luggage. The building was adorable and well taken care of. Very clean. I can't imagine how much work it took to curate the decor. Would def stay again.
