Well set in the centre of San Juan, Fortel Hostel provides air-conditioned rooms, a shared lounge, free WiFi and a restaurant.

The location was great and the owner was super kind and helpful, only downside was that people did not really talk in the hostel, but this is not the hostel's fault

Situated in San Juan, 100 metres from Isla Verde, Nomada Beach Hostel- Isla Verde features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a private beach area.

It's a really nice hostel, with a pool. The private rooms are nice and clean, and the same goes for the shared dorms. It's near the airport, and I stayed a bit after checkout before my flight. Pro tip: If you are taking Uber from the Airport, take it to Burger King across the street and just cross the bridge.

    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.

    This hostel was the ideal base for exploring Puerto Rico. It’s situated in a prime location and has a great vibe. I enjoyed relaxing in the outdoor space and meeting people from all around the globe. The staff were excellent and provided wonderful tips on what to do and see.

    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.

    Great place to stay! Clean, nicely decorated, pretty rooftop, safe and secure! We had a balcony room which was very pretty. There is no real front desk and checkin / checkout is pretty hands off but easy to understand and not difficult. Great location for walking around!

    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.

    Excellent budget stay in a great location. The property is within walking distance of a good variety of restaurants and coffee shops. Very friendly and responsive staff! Very clean facilities for a hostel. Bonus: the property was quaint and well-decorated. Bug spray and sunscreen was also provided.
