Beautiful hostel. Rooms are air conditioned (a must for San Juan heat), staff is incredibly nice. Great common areas and great price for the location

Met cool people, as always at a hostel. Very conveniently located. Key card gives you 24h access at your own convenience (plenty of people went for nights out). Everything in one row - (from outside): balcony, room+common area, reception+kitchen, 3 other rooms along the corridor, 4 toilets+washing machines. Washing machines coin-operated.

the location is perfect. right in the middle of everything. beautiful and clean.

The location was perfect. I loved that it was so near to all the attractions, beaches, ferry station, parks, bars, and restaurants Also, the daily text inquiry messages on how they can make the stay more enjoyable, and if there were any concerns/issues.

it was very clean and modern, one of the best hostels that I’ve stayed at!

Very good location. The staff treat you well and the place was clean

the place is really nice and well kept. But the staff is the best part of this hostel experience, they are super nice and helpful, especially Carlos, who made sure my time in San Juan was the best. I really recommend staying here if you come to SJ

The property is very clean, the beds were super comfy, and the a/c felt wonderful after a hot day walking around Old San Juan. The people were super nice and we all ended up going out together and visiting the beach. One of the best hostels I've stayed at!

The location was everything to take an Uber to other places it wasn’t expensive. There is so much to do in that location alone you can just walk, have the time of your life. Super clean and super safe.

Good facilities, great value, location is awesome. As a female solo traveller I felt quite safe.
