This hotel is perfect for visiting Old San Juan! It seems to be in the middle of anything and everything you would want to do there. The rooms and decor are unique, the service was extraordinary, the food was wonderful and reasonably priced and the staff was very accomodating. We would definitely stay there again!

Interesting rooms, fabulous décor, friendly staff, tasty breakfasts - we couldn't fault our recent stay at Hotel Casablanca. The location is brilliant - right in the heart of Old San Juan, footsteps from Marmalade and lots of other brilliant restaurants and bars. Our room was an interior room on the third floor (we had noted previous reviews about the lack... More

I booked one night here prior to boarding a cruise, came back for a night, travelled some more and chose to return before I left Puerto Rico. This hotel has a warm welcoming vibe with eclectic interesting decor. Always something to catch your eye. Rooms were very comfortable, and having three separate stays, I can say they're all a little... More

Went to hotel the first saturday of may 2013. It was one of the choices my girlfriend and I had for our first night of honeymoon. We looked around for a hotel with personality, style, and value. This surely fit those caracteristics. The hotel is located in Calle Fortaleza in Old San Juan. When you walk down toward Teatro Tapia... More

We arrived during the middle of a monsoon-like storm so one of the first things we saw after the airport was stepping out of the taxi into the beautiful lobby where a very helpful Rick (the co-owner) was there to help us. Check-in was a breeze and we hiked the stairs (this is an old building without an elevator, however... More

We live in Tortola and visit Old San Juan often when we are in need of a bit of culture, shopping and interesting architecture. This was our first stay at CasaBlanca and I was very pleasantly surprised. Perfect location for exploring. Right opposite Marmalade (excellent restaurant). Good breakfast. Good friendly staff and helpful service. Rooms characterful (if not super luxurious).... More

I was originally suppose to stay one night at the Casablanca but I ended up adding an extra night prior to my arrival. The hotel was clean, the reception and staff were quite friendly and helpful. I had a basic room, it was a bit small but being in Old San Juan, I didn't want to stay in my room... More

We were only in San Juan for one night so we stayed in a cheap room here. The room itself was just a bed and a bathroom but was perfect for us. Everything was clean and well decorated.

Spent one night here prior to a cruise and thoroughly enjoyed the decor and friendly, helpful staff. It was a great venue for exploring Old San Juan. The room was fun, with beautiful furniture and mirrors. Bed was very comfortable. If I were staying for more than a day or two, it would've started feeling a little cramped though. We... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
No Elevator. CasaBlanca is now a family owned hotel, with a lot of character and a personalized experience. We want you to love San Juan as much as we do by making sure your stay is pleasant and memorable. Back to basics; our rooms are very clean, our beds are comfortable, and yes, we do have hot water now! We offer 20% discount at our restaurant Cafe Americain conveniently located in the lobby, past guests insist it is the best breakfast they have ever had! We listen! Since we took ownership in December of 2012, we have taken the time to read all your valuable reviews and see all the wonderful pictures you have posted online. We take action! Thanks to your reviews we have been able to fix many of the problems guests were experiencing in 2012 and before. We now have free WiFi in the rooms. We have worked very hard and are very proud about our progress!We believe the building was built sometime around 1910 and therefore rooms are not quite what we are used to these days in terms of size, but you can feel the charm of Old Town for sure. It is a great experience!We have begun to undergo a study to the infrastructure of the building to see in what ways we can improve our rooms in terms of space, noise reduction and extra windows. We will keep you posted! Please make CasaBlanca your traveling choice when visiting Puerto Rico, we would love to have you! Mr. & Mrs. Oller ... more   less
