I really enjoyed my stay at Villa Herencia Hotel. The charming, old-world character of the villa was good, and I loved the magical rooftop area. However, the small room size and some maintenance issues, like a leaky sink and weak water pressure, were disappointing. Overall, it was a unique experience, but I might not choose it for a long stay.

However, the check-in process was a bit confusing due to the lack of staff late at night. Overall, it’s a charming spot close to the attractions, perfect for immersing myself in Puerto Rico's history.

I absolutely loved my stay at Villa Herencia Hotel! The location is tucked away on a quiet street, yet it’s just a short walk to restaurants and the coastline, making it super convenient. The gorgeous architecture and peaceful courtyard set a relaxing vibe, although the check-in process was a bit confusing since staff weren't always available. Overall, I'd recommend it for its charm and friendly service.

I had a wonderful experience at Villa Herencia, a charming boutique hotel that truly captures a sense of old-world charm. The location was ideal, just steps from major attractions, and the open-air courtyard was a lovely escape. However, I did encounter minor inconveniences with security and some noise from neighbors at times.

My stay at Villa Herencia Hotel was mostly enjoyable thanks to its fantastic location in Old San Juan and charming ambiance. I found the staff to be incredibly friendly and accommodating, which enhanced my experience. However, the breakfast offerings were somewhat basic, and the rooms were a bit on the small side, which could be improved. Overall, the character of the hotel and its proximity to attractions more than made up for these minor drawbacks.
