More of an AB&B set up. With door codes and no staff on premises. We stayed in the Shabby Chic (pink) room. The room was great, no issues and AC was cold. Great location in old San Juan.

Location was perfect. In the old San Juan everything was walkable. Lots of restaurants, cafes, bars, shopping and tourist/must see spots. We stayed in the Patio room, nice ambience, room space ok, bed comfortable, there was fridge and A/C working great. The room was clean, tv works, bathroom/shower the hot water took awhile especially for early shower but there was hot water. Communication with the owner great, responded timely.

Room was very clean and although there wasn’t staff onsite, I was able to communicate effectively with someone over the phone. I would def recommend this Hotel. I’ve already booked again for my return flight through San Juan.

A/C worked perfectly, it was clean, quiet, bed was comfortable, shower was hot. It was a very convenient location right across from the town square. The only issues were the tv didn’t work and we had trouble finding the unit from the street address. It was a great value for your money.

From the moment you enter you begin to notice the difference in this unique property. Each floor is uniquely designed and decorated. Each room is also independently and uniquely decorated, lovingly prepared, furnished and beckons to be experienced on another occasion. The location is perfect for anyone looking to explore Old San Juan on foot and yet easily hire a vehicle and explore any other parts of the area and Island.

Owner and his daughter provide good communications, and friendly service. Casa of Essence is an enjoyable, affordable, and safe place to stay. The room was very clean. The bed was comfortable. My only suggestion for improvement would be to put a small plastic table in the corner of the large shower, or install a small shelf, to place soap and shampoo while you shower.
