Welcome to Casa del Tiempo, a truly unique stay in the heart of historic Old San Juan. This one-bedroom home places you directly among the colorful streets, history, culture, restaurants, bars, nightlife and energy that make Old San Juan one of Puerto Rico’s most unforgettable destinations.
A Home With Centuries of History
Important : Please understand what makes this property special before booking. This is not a newly constructed apartment, modern hotel, or luxury condo. You are staying inside an authentic historic Old San Juan building that is over 200 years old, with portions and architectural elements reflecting centuries of history.
The aged walls, traditional floors and tiles, original-style wooden doors, shutters, high ceilings and other details are part of the character of the home. Historic properties naturally show signs of age, previous repairs, uneven surfaces, marks, discoloration and imperfections that you would not normally find in a newly constructed building. We preserve this character because experiencing it is part of experiencing Old San Juan.
An Incredible Location
Location is one of the biggest reasons to stay here. Step outside and you’re immediately surrounded by Old San Juan. The famous Puerto Rico flag, photographed by visitors from around the world, is just steps away. Restaurants, cafés, cocktail bars, historic attractions, colorful streets and the waterfront are all within walking distance.
You’ll also be near La Factoría, one of Old San Juan’s best-known nightlife destinations. There is no need to experience the city from a distance—you’re staying right in the middle of it.
Walk through historic streets, enjoy dinner nearby, explore during the day, experience the nightlife at night, or walk toward the water and enjoy the Caribbean breeze.
IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ ABOUT NOISE BEFORE BOOKING
Because of our central location, this property can be LOUD, particularly on Friday and Saturday nights, holidays, festivals and other busy nights until 2-3 AM
Old San Juan has an active nightlife scene, and the home is close to popular bars and restaurants, including La Factoría. You may hear music, people talking, street activity, cars and general nightlife noise, sometimes continuing late into the night.
Additionally, this is a centuries-old building. It was not constructed with the soundproofing or sealed windows and doors found in modern hotels and condominiums.
If you are looking for a quiet, secluded or relaxing weekend getaway, we do NOT recommend booking this property.
If, however, you want to step outside your door and immediately experience the restaurants, nightlife, culture, history and energy of Old San Juan, the location is difficult to beat.

* One bedroom with a queen bed
* One sofa bed
* One bathroom with shower
* Kitchen
* Dining/seating areas
* High ceilings and historic architectural character

This home is about location, history, culture and experience rather than modern perfection.

Come not simply to visit Old San Juan—but to live inside a piece of its history.
