    Rustic, overpriced private room.

    The good: The location is on a bus line. There is a small, city beach nearby. The kitchen and bathrooms are cleaned daily. The bad: The room is very dark, fully concrete, with one window opening to an indoor hallway. The beds are too low to the floor. There is no furniture for placing belongings, making it necessary to keep everything in the suitcase, on the floor. The staff behave as though they have meet too many needy tourists.

    I wish they would give more of a heads up if someone was arriving at the all female dorm. Also, the bathrooms need better ventilation because it smelled at some points.

    I felt safe because there were cameras and there’s a buzzer at the door. Also, the girls I stayed with were nice

    They sent me so many messages before arrival so obviously the one with the important info got lost in there, I did not see I had to fill in an online form and had to do it at reception while still carrying all my things. This process could be improved: think that some of your guests do not have data while traveling and cannot follow all the emails. The room was tiny and without any windows and no table so we had to open our bags on the floor; my provided towel was stained; they have so many extra fees in the policy that are ridiculous (if you stain the towel it's 15$ but they provided a stained one?!). Does not feel welcoming. The price is ok but for just a few extra bucks I booked an amazing hotel in the same neighborhood which was much better. If you're solo and looking for a dorm I guess it's ok but I wouldn't come back for a private room.

    The location was great, easy to park around, never had to wait for a shower. Well equipped kitchen and nice balcony.

    No real amenities to speak of. The room/facilities were pretty run down but for somewhere to crash, it was fine.

    Easy to get around the island. Very close to the beach as well as bus lines to get around the city. Easy to meet people and go exploring.

    Heads-up, you will have to climb stairs at Loiza St. location.

    Stayed at the Calle Loiza location. Great staff, helpful and informative. Great location, close to many restaurants and beach. Loved that you're able to use the pool at their sister hostel in Isla Verde!

    There were ants in the room but this was a very small issue, didn't really mind them. The AC was blowing to our faces when we slept even though we put the temperature quite high. The location was good in a sense that you could walk to the beach, but apparently the area wasn't the safest.

    The beds were great, kitchen was good and the fact that there weren't too many people in the hostel, so small rooms for two persons were great. For the money you pay for staying here the place is really good.

    The stair was a bit of a pain if you're staying on 3rd or 4th floor. The room we had (2 beds, private) was not very well lit with old furniture and rather dusty (doesn't look a lot like on photos). Air not very well ventilated in the room.

    Well-stocked kitchen. Balcony has decent view. Common areas are clean. Decent location but expect to walk 10-15 mins to the more livelier part of town.

    Clean, unaffected by the power outages very nearby. Not a bad value...but it IS a hostel...

    • Bed in Female Only Dorm

    The mattress was not the most comfortable. The quietness was affected by roommates. Most nights that was okay, but staying in a hostel can be hit or miss.

    I specifically chose this hostel because it was within walking distance of my daughter's/grandchildren's location. So in that sense, the location was perfect for me. For someone coming as a tourist, the location MIGHT not be optimal. Also, it was very hot in September, so the AC in my room was a welcome respite at night. My daughter, living on the same block, had two power outages (which is still a chronic problem 6 years after Hurricane Maria) but the hostel seemed unaffected.

    No wake up call if u have phone issues my phn got wet and there was no other way to get a wake up call for my flight. They had alarm clocks but no batteries for them to work. Front desk chick seemed annoyed that I asked for some help. Computer on the second floor doesn't work so trying to find an alternative resource was also a fail. Do better for the next guests. These things need to be functional not just decor

    Everything was Kool limited parking if u have a car.

    You can only stay in the common area until checkout time. So you have to leave at 11:00 period. They charge for luggage storage.
