Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had such a cozy and charming stay at this hotel. The rooms were so cute and clean, featuring a large comfortable bed in a loft and a living space and bathroom on the ground level. The central hall that leads to the interior patio where delicious breakfasts are served was a highlight. However, there were a few minor drawbacks to consider.
My stay at Casa Sol was fantastic! The rooms were amazing, super comfortable, and had the most incredible air conditioning that was a true blessing in hot Puerto Rico. Everything was extremely clean, well-kept, and the beds were so comfy. The location was ideal for immersing myself in the local scene of Old San Juan, being close to historical sites, great restaurants, and all the action. I could easily return to my room throughout the day to relax or freshen up. The dining experience was truly memorable, starting with fresh fruit and coffee and offering various delicious breakfast options. However, I was a bit disappointed with the limited breakfast options. Overall, a great value for money and a wonderful experience.
Staying in the Muralla room was a cool and quiet experience. The high ceiling with a built-in stairway leading to an 'upstairs' loft for the bed was a unique touch. The room opened into a central hall that guided us to an interior patio where we enjoyed delicious breakfasts. The rooms were extremely clean, well-kept, and had comfy beds, making for a relaxing stay.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were very comfortable and tastefully decorated with a wonderful old-world charm. The location was perfect for exploring Old San Juan, close to all the historic sites and great restaurants. The dining experience was truly exceptional with delicious breakfasts served in a beautiful interior patio. However, the lack of a sitting area in the room was a bit inconvenient, and the price could be considered a bit on the higher side.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely amazing! The location is prime, right in the heart of Old San Juan, making it easy to explore all the attractions. The rooms were tastefully decorated, and I especially loved the quiet and cool Muralla room. However, the dining experience could be improved with more local dishes on the menu. The service was top-notch, with helpful staff always ready to assist. Highly recommended for a memorable stay in Puerto Rico.
