Guesthouse Zen Retreat City Centre
112 c. Loaiza Cordero, 00918 San Juan, Puerto Rico – Great location - show map
The Family was awesome and truly knowledgeable of all things PR very passionate about their island and very helpful! They ensured we were aware of the new covid 19 curfews and even offered food since it was a early curfew.
United States of AmericaEileen and Gabriela are such wonderful hosts. I felt like I was at home instead of a vacation. I arrived a customer and left with friends and memories! Definitely will be going back!! All of the suggestions for food and activities were spot on! I've been to Puerto Rico many times, but this is the ONE time that I can say that I actually enjoyed myself!
United States of AmericaThe hosts were extremely accommodating and friendly
United States of AmericaCenter was very clean. Staff was great - friendly! They recommended activities - especially Sunday farmer’s market nearby. On a scale of 1 to 5 I rate this a 9.75 (location is a little out of the way.) We rode our bikes through interesting neighborhoods to get to the Zen center from old San Juan. New windows and AC were great.
United States of AmericaThe Zen Retreat Hostel was an excellent value for the money. It's very clean, in a central location, and the staff is very friendly and super helpful with suggestions for San Juan. The beds were very comfortable and the pics are very accurate.
United States of AmericaThe host was amazing. The host recommended great places to visit and restuarants to eat. The bed was so comfortable I almost didn't want to leave to room.
United States of AmericaWonderful hosts! Helped us navigate around northern PR, very nice. Thank you!
United States of AmericaWhen asking about restaurants and things to do, Gabriela gave us alot of information. Her mother was very nice. She was asking did we need anything and if we did she would go get it.
United States of AmericaBest place in the world! The owner was very helpful in our entire trip. She recommended places to visit, and she was very polite. Clean apartment, nice environment, and great location.
United States of AmericaWe had booked an Airbnb for a day before we left on our cruise we but never got a response because come to find out the home owner was in the hospital, so we had found this place to stay and she had took us in last minute she let us drop our things off at the home as she setup/cleaned our room so we left to eat lunch so by the time we got back our room was set up, with clean sheets, towels & gave us the keys. The home owner was very sweet, we had forgot to bring deodorant so the home owner let us know she was going to the store if we needed anything & she picked up deodorant for us with the receipt which was great! Room has ac which was GREAT!

Host Info
I am from the caribbean, from San Juan, Puerto Rico. I used to work for an airline for a long time and now I am self employed. I have two daughters. Mariel, working at a New York´s architectural firm, and Gabriela, who is passionate about history, literature and writing. Their great uncle was a famous Puerto Rican poet. We have enjoyed traveling always and hosting and assisting our guests is our pleasure. I am on a personal search for spiritual growth after a life of confusion and separateness... I investigate and study, by myself, alternative and energy healing. Also the effects of prescribed drugs and the use less harmful natural alternatives. We support and promote healthy eating and living. We have always enjoyed traveling and relating to people in different countries. We enjoy good conversation and learning experiences. We understand and speak some French and Italian besides Spanish and English.
