The room was spotless and so organized for the low cost! Parking was directly in front of our building and we were within a 10 minute walk downtown! Very cute ambient lighting at night by the Old Senator tree allowed for gorgeous photos. Definitely will be returning !

Do not book this hotel. I recently stayed at Villa 1565 during my trip to St. Augustine, and I was extremely disappointed with my experience. Both rooms I tried were dirty, with old, dirty sheets and smelled intensely like mold. The furniture and sheets were badly stained, making it impossible to feel comfortable. I has to eat the cost and book another hotel because it was disgusting. This level of cleanliness is unacceptable and it completely ruined my visit to such a beautiful city. I would not recommend villa 1565 to anyone looking for a pleasant stay in St. Augustine. I got caught up with the inaccurate photos that fraudulently made me think this hotel was decent with historical charm. It was just old unkept and full of transients. Im actually upset with Expedia having a hotel this bad and not letting customers know.

Cant complain about the stay as it was quiet, safe and convenient. Only complaints are that the room smelled of mildew which could be cause by A/C filter and ventilation and the rooms did not match the pictures. The rooms were updated but were not remodeled properly and rusted fixtures were reused to complete the rooms. Better effort should of been put into the repair and remodel.

Great location for exploring St. Augustine. Less than a five minute walk to the Fountain of Youth and the trolley picks you up in the parking lot. Doesn’t get any easier than that! Good breakfast and friendly staff. This was my second stay here and I would do it again!

Our room was not the same as the photos. Quite different and not nearly as nice. It was a king suite and we couldn't stay there. The open area was like a dentist office. The staff was good with letting us see other rooms and we downgraded to the king deluxe. The bad sound like old file cabinets. The best part about the hotel is the location. But to be honest I probably wouldn't stay there again.

If the front of this property was cleaned up, the garden street view, it would look a lot better. If we hadn’t booked and paid for this room we would have kept driving, The room was great for 1 or 2 nights.
