    Lovely place in San Juan

    The bathroom was very small and the sink is outside, directly in the room.

    The room is huge and everything looks quite new. Kitchen is lovely and the whole place is nice and quiet (there's two rooms only, so you only share the common areas with another couple).

    The curtains are to transparent, needs darker drapes for privacy and sunlight

    Clean and well maintained. The rooms has clean good comfty towels, a fan for the heat, hot water, and the kitchen is well equipped to cook dinner. As dinner options in San Juan are limited.

    The neighbors next store cook with wood in an outdoor kitchen. Creates a bit of smoke around mealtimes.

    Very clean, spacious room, basic shower and toilet but plenty of hot water. Access to very well laid shared kitchen with plenty of cooking implements and refrigerator, toaster oven and microwave. Space is designed and organized with style and great intelligence. Location is just off the town center and quieter. The owner of the hotel is very kind and available. Goes out of her way to insure her guests’ comfort.

    The location. When you book have a look where are you staying exactly because there are 2 locations! one is very central with modern facilities and more hostel/social vibes (according to other reviews) and another one a bit further

    The staff was very friendly, beds very comfortable and it felt very peaceful.

    more of a social atmosphere would have been nice

    Quiet property with more of a guest house feeling rather than a hostel. We got lucky and were the only two guests in the dorm which made for a comfortable nights sleep

    The wall are paper-thin, I couldn’t sleep a thing because the guy next door was snoring so much (I checked in the room to make sure he wasn’t here because the sound was mind blowing)

    The place has all the facilities you’d need and is quite big.

    The host was super nice, and let me stay at the location I came to check in at rather than the second one, since it was pouring. The location is amazing, right up the street from the piers. The room was nice, as was the outdoor patio/dining area.

    Really enjoyed how more traditional/local and small San Juan was. The kitchen has the basics, enough for you to cook meals. The bed is comfy, everything is clean. Walking distance to the shops and not too far from the municipal market. The accommodation is on a quieter street with a nice view of the surrounding mountains. You can even just wander around and head towards the mountains. And the staff is amazing!

    Located in quiet part of San Juan in residential area. Comfortable bed and well-equipped kitchen including air fryer. Power outlet next to each bed which was nice.

    Fine for a few nights.

    For some reason there was only enough shelves and lockers for 4 beds, but there were 5 in the room. There was only one toilet and shower (in the same room) per room, which was annoying if you wanted to use the toilet when someone was showering. Also, the shower made the floor wet in the toilet which was pretty unpleasant to walk in. Also, the water was quite temperamental but I think this is the case in the whole of San Juan.

    Location was good as it was central but not noisy. The shower was hot! Beds were comfy and pillows were good. Nice quiet garden space.

    They did not have running water to the room sinks, showers, or toilets at night. There were no staff on site at night if any problems came up. We were more or less just on our own out I'm a residential neighborhood.

    The location was away from the main tourist section.
