Our group stayed in 4 of their 5 rooms and appreciated the attention this small B&B afforded us, as when Eddie was able to call a local business that had not delivered a mobility scooter as promised. We enjoyed conversing with the owners and appreciated their willingness to accommodate a couple of pre-arranged breakfast changes due to early tours. While pricey like most accommodations in San Juan, Casa Sol combines historic charm with very well-appointed rooms, comfortable beds, and a great location. The breakfasts are quite good, different from the standard fare you might get elsewhere, and healthier.
Note that if you are a light sleeper sensitive to light and noise, you might not want one of their rooms at the front on the street. While these are the prettiest rooms with gorgeous ornamental windows, the arched tops don't have shutters or shades (understandably). We switched rooms with another couple in our group that always sleeps with white noise and doesn't need a really dark room to sleep well. There was still an arched window over the door that let in walkway light, but I could turn those lights off once everyone was settled into bed and then was set for a good night's sleep.
We have visited Puerto Rico twice, 6 years apart, and stayed at Casa Sol both times. If returning to Puerto Rico, we would again choose Casa Sol as our home base in Old San Juan. Thank you for a lovely stay, Eddie and Tisha!

I can not say enough good things about our stay. The location was perfect, close enough to walk all over old San Juan but far enough away for it to be quiet and away from the really touristy section. The breakfast oh my gosh the breakfast; so fresh and light. The rooms were spotlessly clean. The culture just pours out over every part of this bed and breakfast. The hosts; Eddie and Margarita are so wonderful, they really take the time to make sure you have an amazing stay and offer any recommendations they can. You can really tell the amount of love they have for this beautiful bed and breakfast. 10 out of 10 would 100% stay here again.

I stayed with my friends at Casa Sol Bed & Breakfast from 21 to 25 November 2023. Its location is strategic, located 5-10 minutes walk from a large car park and a stone's throw from some of the best nightlife in San Juan, as well as very close to shops and restaurants. The room and the premises of the B&B are perfectly clean, tidy and equipped with extremely comfortable furnishings, with a high level design. Comfortable beds, clean towels always available (brightly colored beach towels are also provided!), very clean and well-organised bathroom, perfectly functioning shower. But all this is just the beginning of a real immersion in Casa Sol! The welcome, availability and friendliness of the owners, and the superlative breakfast that is served every morning (always different every day) are the strong point of the B&B. You will feel pampered and taste typical dishes, always accompanied by abundant tropical fruit. If you have the time and desire to have a chat with Tisha and Eddie, you will listen to stories about the history of Puerto Rico and you can follow their precious advice to immerse yourself in the culture of the island, as well as explore the most beautiful beaches and places in the country. In the few days available, following the information provided to us, we managed to visit San Juan, the rainforest and beautiful beaches (with surfing), dine in typical restaurants, listen to and observe the Bomba and dance the Puerto Rican Salsa. All completed by the comfort of Casa Sol and the kindness and great availability of Tisha and Eddie!

When I was in Old San Juan I imagined the fortress walls filled with cannons until I get dropped off by Uber. Tourists have to use parking garages blocks away from Casa Sol up and down cobblestone hills lol. Modern garages would ruin the ancient theme so bring your hiking shoes. All our Uber rides were around $10 except for the airport which was $20. Casa Sol and the rest of the city is basically a 500 year old theme park where you have to walk. Around the corner from Casa Sols are bars, shops and restaurants sprinkled throughout the old city. You can walk around in heels but after a few blocks you will wish you had walking shoes. Next to the garage is a CVS for supplies and a Footlocker for shoes.
Casa Sol is a block away from the fortified walls and protected by beautiful wooden spokes and a strong iron gate. At first I though I had to worry about drunk pirates roaming the streets but the host informed me that every building had to look authentic . When you walk into Casa Sol you immediately notice a courtyard oasis in the middle filled with small trees and orchids. Just imagine a townhouse with a hole in the middle of the roof venting to the blue sky framed by shiny gold colored walls. The rooms were ancient as well with huge wooden beams framing the ceiling. Artwork lined the walls next to antique furniture. I did not see a TV anywhere but don't worry the internet was fast and the host has solar panels. The air-conditioning was also excellent. Next to the courtyard there is a small refrigerator for the guests and a Hot/Cold water filter.
The host was also great at recommending restaurants, museums and places to go. For a $5 Uber you can get dropped off at the Escambron snorkeling beach where they rent out gear. You can also rent an electric scooter for 30 cents per minute but they do not work in the Old City so study the blackout areas in the app before scooting. The host is also a drummer who performs in town. The breakfast was healthy and delicious.

Ideal location in the heart of Old San Juan. Casa Sol is on a very visible, safe, well-light street and entrance is gated by key fob. You are literally one block from Castillo San CristĂłbal entrance, as well as some great dining locations, all which Eddy and Tisha provide on a customized Google Map. Breakfast was perfect and a great way to start your day of likely heavy walking the streets of Old San Juan. Highly recommend and look forward to our return visit.

What a delightful experience!! From the personalized and friendly service given by its owners, Tisha and Eddie, to the delicious, homemade breakfast made by Eddie.
The room accommodations were perfect for our weekend stay during the San Sebastián Festivities. It had a very comfortable bed, A/C unit for a cool room in this tropical weather and pleasant bathroom with a walk-in shower. Personally, it is of outmost importance for us the cleanliness of a room, and it was spotless!
Finally, much to our suprise, when we checked-out, Tisha and Eddie gave us a beautiful "artesania". It is a beautiful, hand-carved wood piece of San Sebastián made by a local artisan.
Without a doubt, our stay at Casa Sol was the highlight of this year's SanSe experience!
Thanks Tisha ansd Eddie!!

Reserve very early if you want to get in the conveniently located Casa Sol B&B in the heart of Old San Juan. We enjoyed staying there 2 nights at the beginning of our trip and 1 night at the end. We first were in the La Farola (king bed) room which was just off the street. We had concerns about the street noise but it wasn’t very noisy during the day and was quiet after about 9:30 PM. At the end of the trip, we stayed in the El Adoquin (queen bed) room which again was just off the street and again, not a problem. We didn’t see the other rooms so can’t comment but know some are smaller and others overlook the lovely inside patio where fantastic breakfasts are served. Eddie and Margarita were very nice hosts and graciously accommodated a couple of our special requests. Overall, a great place to start and end our wonderful time in Puerto Rico.

Casa Sol was the perfect place to stay in OLD SAN JUAN. The B&B was beautiful and our room was spacious and comfortable. The location is in a residential area just a block or 2 away from countless restaurants and shops. It is within walking distance to all of the historical sites you'll want to visit in OLD SAN JUAN. The owners were incredibly kind, and the homemade breakfast was delicious! We were even able to buy a bag of the coffee Eddie served each morning. We can't wait to visit again!

Nicest hosts ever. Cute place to stay. Perfect location in Old San Juan. Great breakfast each morning-and each was different! We had banana muffins, eggs of varying types, amazing fresh tropical fruits each day. Also has a purified water dispenser and fridge available to guests

Casa Sol is a wonderful small B&B in the heart of old San Juan. We have stayed here twice now and the rooms are comfortable and clean, the central courtyard is beautiful and full of blooming orchids, and the breakfast is simply superb and changes each day. Breakfast includes delicious coffee, fresh fruit, a little guava cake, and the main dish of the day.
The host family and their sweet dog are very friendly and professional, with many good recommendations for places to eat and things to do. You can walk anywhere in old San Juan from here, and even to the protected beach Balneario del Escambron (about a 30 minute walk).

Lovely place. We had a room on the street side and it was quiet after 10 p.m. Waling distance to restaurants and other places. Breakfast is superb!
Yes, we can. We recomend that you use our pickup service its $30.00 and the driver will let you in the house and show you to your room. It’s professional and solves the late night arrival hassles.
