Pros: Close to clubs, Planet Fitness, Pueblo Supermarket with lots of hot meals for cheap, and bookstore/coffee shop. Parking on street out front worked out fine. Clean and basic, felt secure to me
Cons: Double bed too small for two people, upgraded to king for extra $. Small rooms with no extra space, this is a good place for a sleepover but not for hanging out.

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!
Cons: Honestly the room was small, and had a bed and fridge. I didn't expect any more or any less (: it was worth what I paid, and there was really nothing that I did not like.

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: Everything
Cons: The whole place is a joke. Don’t bother spending your money here. I stood for 3 nights with my boyfriend and totally regretted the whole thing... do your self a favor spend the little bit extra money and get a nicer place. VERY Dirty, mosquitos infested, no clean towels, didn’t change the sheets once since our stay, no hot water, and our AC was broken in our room. Other guests were very loud and wonder the halls all night ... staff was taking shots of alcohol with a guests INFORNT of the building. Just super uncomfortable. Every time I had to use the restroom I took my BF with me because I didn’t feel comfortable with the men that lingered around in the Hall way and stood outside of the bathroom door. It was horrible... the island was beautiful but this place was a nightmare. We would purposely stay out late and leave really early so all we had to do was sleep there but even sleeping was very uncomfortable because our AC unit was broken in our room...

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.

Cons: My stay was too short. This was a great choice though. :)
Top tips for finding the perfect San Juan hostel
- Most of the hostels in San Juan are located either in Old San Juan or Santurce on the southeast side of the city. Old San Juan is full of historic landmarks like Museo de las Americas, San Juan Bautista Cathedral, and the San Juan National Historic Site, while Santurce offers the Museum of Contemporary Art of San Juan and Central Park of San Juan. Routes 1, 25, and 26 connect both areas by car, while the Puerto Rico Metropolitan Bus Authority and Tren Urbano are modes of public transportation that run throughout the city.
- Women traveling as a group should check out Santurcia Hostel & Bar, which offers a female-only dorm; there are also mixed dorms if the women’s dorm is unavailable. Located on Avenue de Diego in the Art District of Santurce, it is very close to San Juan International Airport (SJU), and the Luis A. Ferre Performing Arts Center is minutes away on foot. Los Cidrines and Hen House are two eateries within walking distance of Santurcia Hostel & Bar, along with The A Bar.
- Solo travelers might prefer accommodations at Nomada Urban Beach Hostel on Calle Loiza in the Machuchal district. A short distance away is the San Juan Airport, accessible via the T5 Bus.
