Casa Las Ruinas needs paperwork filled out before they send info about how to access your room. They didn't email that paperwork until I was already on the trip to Puerto Rico so I didn't see it until I arrived at the property. It was not easy to fill out the paperwork on my cellphone and then I wasn't sure what or when I would hear back from them. It was definitely a hassle. It would have been much better if they would have sent the paperwork earlier. I liked the room but for two things. The pillows were massive so I couldn't comfortably use them. I had to use a throw pillow for my head. There was no closet or any place to hang clothes.

This is a very nicely located and convenient property. It is about 5 blocks from all the attractions Old San Juan has to offer. It is surrounded by many bars, restaurants, shops and historic places. Inside, there is ongoing renovation, but you can see the combination of old/historic building, and convenient modern set up. The rooms are amazing. They are completely renovated and everything is new and modern, with a touch of classic. The bed was great and comfortable. The bathroom super spacious and clean. The room has a small kitchenette, which is convenient for long stays. There was a huge flat screen TV and a view to to street. My only complaint is that the room we had was very noisy because it faced the street, specially at 4 am when cleaning crews are sweeping streets. Otherwise it was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone visiting San Juan.

The room was clean. And I had my own private entrance. However The reason I booked was because of the pictures of the room And and washer and drier. Was not happy. The bed was too low, I didn't get a multi room apt it was an efficiency. My room faced the street with everybody walking by making noise. Disappointed

We liked our stay at Casa Las Ruinas. It was pretty easy to find, get into, and get into the room. The room is nice. I would suggest bringing a couple of bottles of water. There is a window above the door and a hall light on all night. I like to sleep in the dark so that wasn't ideal. Great little fridge with freezer part. The bed was compy and the shower worked good. It is located in a great area. Easy access to resteraunts, stores, and bars. The stairs are a bit challenging, but we were aware of them so mo problem. We enjoyed the courtyard and the rooftop area. The rooftop area needs a little work. The cushions need to be replaced as they are moldy. I would suggest that they put in a garbage can on the top. The breeze was great.

Everything was great. Loved the large bathroom. Also loved the high ceiling and beams. Unfortunately the power went out in old San Juan. And we really couldn’t use the condo for almost the whole day and night. No fault of owner. Other than that we had a great time.

The room was in good condition. Maybe my fault, I did not see the fact that it has no lift - hard for seniors like us. The cleaning staff were very accommodating though. We just picked up stuff we need for the night and our change of clothes for the next day. The worst part though was the fact that the town lost power and Casa does not have generator. So, no we did not enjoy our stay there.

We stayed for 3 nights. The first night was booked in a one bedroom and the next 2 nights when additional family arrived we moved to the 2 bedroom. Both rooms were clean, modern and comfortable. We were a bit worried as to what we would do after checking out at 10AM from the first room and not getting into the second until 4PM. The staff was wonderful and let us go to the second room right at 10AM. Extremely convenient! This is right in the middle of Old San Juan. No need for a car as everything is right there. The streets are loud at night with people and cars, however we loved hearing all the young people out having fun! It rained a lot while we were there and the 2 room apartment does leak, nothing to bad that a towel wouldn't fix. We enjoyed ourselves and would come back. I would request a first floor room if you have any mobility issues as the 3rd floor is a long hike up with luggage. Thank you for a fun 3 days in Old San Juan before our cruise. There is a great cafe right outside the back door called Cafe Luna that we had breakfast at each morning. Definetly check that out!

It's clear the building was recently remodeled, as everything inside is brand new and clean. It has excellent internet and good AC. It's very well located in the heart of Old San Juan. The only issue is that room #13, which we were assigned, has several skylights on the wall facing room #12. These have only been covered with clear vinyl sheets, allowing our room to be completely illuminated, making it very difficult to sleep. Although I asked a cleaning person the next day to please turn off the light in that room, since it was empty, they didn't; and the three nights we spent there were very difficult to sleep.
