As a solo female traveler, I am cautious about booking hostels and bed and breakfast places during my travels. After looking at the area through Google images and reading the other reviews, I was convinced this met my look fors: safe, accessible, value for the money, attentiveness/promptness (response to inquiries). Chris and David, the receptionists, were both helpful and friendly. I received text messages regarding my stay, codes, etc... I also happened to book the single-bed room on the rooftop. Chris was kind enough to tell the other guests about keeping late night music low-although this didn't bother me. In fact, on the second night, I met wonderful people- fellow guests- and got invited to a birthday party where I learned a bit of bachata, salsa, and gasolina. The bedroom was a perfect size for a solo traveler and the bathrooms and shower rooms were clean. Public buses were accessible- across the street I took T5 to Old San Juan. The same route took me back to the hostel, to Isla Verde... it goes all the way to the SJU airport. But since I had an early morning flight, I took Uber for $11. There were grocery stores, Walgreens, Mc Donalds, KFC, and acai bowls/fruit smoothies in less than a mile. I also walked all the way to Condado beach (about a mile). I've walked Calle Loiza and enjoyed the murals as well. Thank you Nomada Urban Hostel for making my first trip to PR, a great experience!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Juliette hostel is perfect for women traveling solo or with a group. Located at the heart of old San Juan, it's very accessible to all the tourist attractions and also the airport. It was perfectly safe and clean, the staff were very helpful. There are also some decent food options available closeby and a convenience store right in front of the hostel.

    The hostel is located walking distance to the forts, the shopping and dining in old San Juan. The staff is friendly and helpful. As a solo female traveler I felt safe, the set of the bathroom is convenient and clean throughout the day.

    If I would have known how wonderful this place is, I would have stayed longer. Blanca and Miguel were super friendly when they welcomed me, they provided great restaurant tips. I felt very safe and the facilities are great. The beds are huge. Clearly the best hostel I ever stayed in.

    This is the best hostel. It's clean and safe. The customer service is amazing. It's within walking distance of the beach and Old San Juan. This will be my first choice if I ever go back to Puerto Rico.
