8/10
Small hostel in Old San Juan, central location. Close to fort San Cristobal and restaurants. 10 min walk from bus terminal, T5 bus from airport. Four bathrooms for five rooms, no wait, clean enough. Tall ceilings make space feel bigger. Common areas look good. Rooms clean. Self check-in quick and clear, communication good. Near bars, cafes, cruise terminal walkable distance. Host friendly and helpful but people not very talkative in hostel. Overall nice place for staying in old town area
