San Juan hostels

Pros: If you are looking for a fife star standard hotel with AC, your own private bathroom, a continental breakfast, and elevators: don’t go there! If you are after an authentic Puerto Rico experience in a small, old, but picturesque, townhouse style b&b, with only shared bathrooms for the whole floor, natural convection supported only by a fan, it is definitely the place for you. Eddi received us at a very late hour and helped us to find a suitable parking space near the hotel. He offers an almost family-like hospitality. The breakfast was simply delicious, even at 5:30 in the morning, when the jet lag had us wandering around in the house. We spent some wonderful evenings on the rooftop with a colorful sunset, talking with very interesting people, looking over the roofs of old San Juan. One of the concession to modern times is the fast WiFi Eddi provides for his guests. His eclectic collection of artwork and murals in the rooms makes a unique atmosphere and the location in the very center on the Main Street of the old city is unbeatable.

Pros: We highly recommend this place! Personnel was one of the friendliest we have ever met!

Pros: Eddie was very nice and accomidating, he gave us a room with a bigger bed for the same price just because it was not being used for the night. He carried our luggage up the flights of steps and explained the places to us and told us that because it was Tuesday there would be Salsa dancing and then later poetry reading.

Pros: Everything from the character to the personality to the artesian breakfast was a very welcome and unexpected surprise.

Pros: Location is perfect- 5 mins walk to all sightseeings. Breakfast is very good. The place has rooftop and open seating area. The host is friendly and always happy to give the tips where to go and what to do. Totally recommend. Thanks!

Pros: This air bnb is very cozy and located where it needs to be. Very old fashioned decor but memorable from the time I walked in. The breakfast was great too.

Pros: Great location, helpful staff

Pros: If you are looking for a Hilton or Sheraton experience, you might really be disappointed. This is a very unique building that gives you the feeling that you just stepped way back into the past. Quite Bohemian and rustic. :) Maybe a true relic of a building that has seen and exudes centuries of history in Old San Juan... The main ingredient in the colorful CasaTripGoGo that made it like home was Eddie. Eddie is a very special "hands on" owner and operator of CasaTripGoGo. Right from the start, I knew that Eddie was commited to making our stay as seamless as possible. After calling Eddie right before our arrival, he helped secure us a coveted parking space right out front of the building, held it for us and helped us park the car! If you have ever tried to park on the street in Old San Juan, you know what a seemingly impossible task that is! The building was located right smack in Old San Juan, making it easy to walk to wherever you wanted to go. Very convenient. Eddie made sure we were settled in and showed us where everything was. The bathrooms had all the towels and toiletries necessary. Bedrooms were tiny but but sufficient with a smart tv, super comfy bed and linens. Kitchen was accessable and fully equipped. And, unbelievably, Eddie cooked a full custom breakfast for each of his guests and waited on each one of us individually. Eddie was there at any moment of the day, working tirelessly on tending to the building and his guests. He deserves major kudos for being the epitome of old fashioned service and dedication. If you decide to stay at CasaTrip GoGo, get ready for a quirky little adventure, one that you most likely will not forget. And I know we won't forget Eddie. :) Thank you!

Pros: First, the rooms and facilities are clean and well kept. If you care to socialize there is the common area where Eddie is often available to answer questions, or if you just need some quality sleep the rooms are very quiet and cozy. Bathrooms, though shared, are lockable and quite private, so no issues there. The kitchen is well stocked if you want to prepare a meal, though you won’t have to worry about breakfast. Helga, a culinary school trained cook, whips together the best breakfast you could ask for on request, meeting whatever dietary needs you have. I found this to be a perfect mesh of the social hostel with the privacy of individual rooms. It really does capture the classic bed and breakfast vibe while maintaining the authenticity of Puerto Rican living. That, coupled with the central location in Old San Juan, make it a great spot. (I recommend la factoria for dancing and The Cannon Club and piano bar if you prefer a quiet glass of wine in classic surroundings)

Pros: Great location and staying in an authentic Puerto Rican house

Pros: 1) The staff are all awesome! Really great crew! The girl gave great tips, the 2 night guys were very approachable and friendly. 2) Located near Bebos a local cheap restaurant and Supermax is right down the street. 3) Clean and new. Has a mini fridge in the room 4) Ability to meet other solo travelers. I just wish the hostel had a daily event to bring the hostelers together. Builds camaraderie ;) Overall, it was a good experience. Thank you!

Pros: Cleanliness, kind staff

Pros: This was such a great place! I stayed at the women's only dorm, which had only two bunk beds, and its own private bathroom, with locking door. Lockers, with locks, are provided for guests, and also located right in the room. The room is also equipped with a small fridge, so you can store drinks, leftovers, etc. With a max of four people in the room, it doesn't get crowded or loud. There is a fan, windows and AC so the room does not get stuffy. The shower has shower gel, shampoo and even conditioner provided. The location is just a few short blocks to the beach. There are multiple pharmacies/convenience stores within a couple block radius, so if you forget anything, it's easy to grab. There is a free library right across the street, a wonderful rooftop deck to enjoy (and the wifi reaches it with ease), nice, new facilities, including a communal kitchen. Bebo's and several other restaurants are within a couple blocks of the place. If you want to take a cab to old San Juan, it's about $15 or so, but you can easily walk. It's quite lovely, especially if you walk along the waterfront area.

Pros: The internet connection

Pros: Position. A discount for All Hands And Hearts volunteer.

Pros: Great hostel within walking distance to the beach and a quick uber ride to Old San Juan. The hostel facilities and staff were excellent!

Pros: Price and location

Pros: Staff is super friendly .. they have events, they were cooling a dinner for the guests, we all go as a big group to old San Juan. Staff and guests were super cool! Better way to meet other travelers ;)

Pros: The staff was good-nature, gracious, kind, friendly, hospitable, sociable, jovial, and devoted. Special mentioning to the manager Yvette who went beyond and above her duties as a manager and should have complete, 100%, control over the management of the property and running of the hostel. Noah and Lara, volunteers, are simply the best and making sure the guests are cared for and issues are voiced. These 3 hostel workers and the new friends I found kept me from leaving the hostel for other accommodations.

Pros: Affordable price. Really good vibes.

Pros: The location was amazing! Walking distance to the beach! Yvette was AWESOME.

Pros: I didn't actually stay here. I ha d a reservation, but when I pulled up, I was very concerned about the safety of the neighborhood, and leaving my car outside overnight. There were prostitutes on the corner and several shady looking gentlemen's clubs in the immediate area. I slept in my car in a better part of town.

Pros: The volunteers that are left and the manager are great! Noah and Lara (the volunteers) are very friendly and making it a very nice and fun place to stay. Yvette (manager) does everything in her power to help out and make it a great stay if it wasn't for them and the awesome people I met I would not have stayed longer then 1 night

Pros: The staff is great location is great and everything worked!

Pros: Good staff local neighborhood close to tourist areas

Pros: It's a hostel in an ally in Puerto Rico, don't expect a Holiday Inn! But isn't that the point of staying in a hostel? Save some money and experience Puerto Rico like locals and make great friends! We partied with the staff, met people from all over the world, and did things most people wouldnt believe. It wouldn't have happened unless we stayed where we were at! I will definitely come back, and I recommend everyone to give it a shot for a night or two, if you're more prissy and enjoy comfort over an adventure go ahead and switch later!

Pros: The price was great, accurate for what I got.

Pros: I liked the staff and the people staying there.

Pros: Staff was great thanks for helping use have a great time guys

Pros: My stay was good, but The female small dorm was very small, not a lot of space: However I was there only for one night so it served its purpose as a pit stop!

Pros: Nothing

Pros: Ada, Sean and everyone staying there

Pros: Nothing --they cancelled our reservation and left us scrambling for a place to stay at midnight.

Pros: The staff was awesome, the facility clean, the other guests were travelers from all over that made for a very cool mix of interesting people. :) This was a great time, especially for the price. I would have picked this over a resort any day...and I plan on staying here again the next time I make it back.

Pros: Comfortable, reasonably priced, near beach and Old San Juan

Pros: It is in n old building in the heart of Old San Juan., just what we' were wanting. We stayed in a room, facilities were very clean and air conditioning worked well. Beds were basic but comfortable.

Pros: great location if you just stay here for travel and you want save money, I think that you can choice this Hotel
