    There were some bugs in the room, but I kind of expected it. Mosquitoes and some small termites. The set up of the hostel is everything is outside except for the bedrooms, so I understand it’s not the easiest to maintain.

    Location was great! Not in the nicest area of San Juan, but I never felt unsafe while being there! The staff were very helpful and kind. The AC also worked very well. 15 minute walk to the beach, a few restaurants and food trucks a 5-10 minute walk away, and a Walmart about a 10 minute walk awa!

    The kitchen was very dirty and there were so many cats around, more than 10. There was no mention of this in Booking.com. For anybody allergic to cats they should not stay there. It was raining heavily the night I checked in and the floor my room was very wet but one of the staff came with many towels to mop it up. When I went out to get some food from the nearby restaurant I was warned by many people locals that the area is not very safe at night. the check in desk is not open early in the morning, at least it was not open when I left around 7:30am.

    I wanted a place to sleep overnight to catch my flight early the following day and it satisfied that and the price was very good. The staff was friendly and helpful. The bus top for a bus that goes directly to the airport is few minutes walking distance from the place. There are also some nice restaurants very close by.

    For the price I payed for a single room I could have stayed in a much fancier hostel. The stuff is not super welcoming, rooms are kind of humid and noisy and there are bugs everywhere - including cockroaches that I found in my bed! I moved somewhere else after two nights because it was too much.

    The best of the hostel is that it is near to Escambrón, which I absolutely loved

    Bathrooms are outside of the shared dorm, and the kitchen is tiny. Keep in mind they charge you at the hostel/ the card for booking is not the card they necessarily take. $35us deposit as well.

    The rooftop is excellent. The AC also blasts in the rooms and it is not as packed as some of the other hostels in the area. They also give you water bottles which I really liked. 24 hour rooftop.

    The room equipment looks a bit old and the AC on our room was too loud. The bathroom was very small.

    The accommodation looks as described. It is good for one night stay, located near from La Placita de Santurce. If you enjoy walking like we do, you can go to Viejo San Juan by feet - approximately 1-hour walk. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The price is good and it corresponds with the quality.

    My room was dirty upon checkin with hair and clipped nails on the floor yet I was rushed out of the room so it could be cleaned before my checkout time and the lady was not friendly.

    I was greeted in a friendly manner and some of the staff was friendly.

    The bed felt like it was falling apart, would have been better to just have the mattress on the floor.

    The staff was friendly, since it’s a hostel there is a kitchen with all supplies that’s needed and you have your own room which is great. The area felt safe even thought it looks a little ruff. And you got towels to use 👍🏻

    There were cockroaches. Rat droppings were found. Lockers need updating. Some were bent, out of shape. They need to fumigate, invest in some good shelves and lockers, maybe close the kitchen so cats dont come.

    Location is nice! Food trucks nearby. Close enough to old town. Met some really nice ppl there. Big bathroom attached to room. Female dorm!

    There were cockroaches! Each day found one dead. And they weren’t cleaned out either during the day. Apparently there were mice. I did see rat droppings in the room. They need to get a fumigator. The lockers need to be updated. They are bent out of shape. The kitchen is open so cats there whenever u try to eat food. There needs to be more space to store food since food can’t be stored in rooms due to mice issue and cockroaches. Maybe close the kitchen and build shelves to store peoples food. There weren’t any sockets near each bed. Need more sockets that work. There was gum stuck under the too bunk where i slept!

    The location was not too far from old town. Had a food truck lot with multiple food trucks within walking distance. Ppl were nice. Private bathroom attached to room was a plus. Having a female dorm was nice. Lockers in room.

    The wifi signal didn't reach higher levels. The sheets were washed in a strong fragrance detergent. Most places don't use fragrance because of skin sensitivities. It was a bit dirty in the room and bathroom. Pillow case had dirt on it. Not a lot of parking but was expected for the city.

    Location was nearby many shops and food. They have nice staff. Very laid back, good manners, good vibes and offered to help if you want things to do in the area.
