I liked the staff a lot, the fans need to be scrubbed as they have thick coating of dust in them, in 6 total nights of staying there the AC when out 3 nights in the middle of the night and I woke up in a puddle of sweat. The pool is murky and needs to be shocked as you cannot see your feet. The staff is friendly and good.

The view from the rooftop is amazing. There’s A/C in the dorm, but too cold. They lock the main entrance at night, but they dont give key…. We wanted to see the sunrise at 5AM and we cant get out from the hostel. An employee was sleeping at the reception. He finally wakes up to open the door. But same problem when we wanted to go back in the hostel. Weird. The breakfast included is basic but perfectly fine. The showers are notre practical, tablets way too high. Dorms are comfy, big locker

Decent stay here. Room was clean and tidy, cold air conditioning and big locker for your bag. Free breakfast was enough to start your day. Great social aspect, made lots of friends. Downside was the strange layout- only toilets on the top floor beside the pool. Three showers but the lock only worked in one which is a big inconvenience. Staff were a bit rude when we asked for a bed sheet.

Gutes Hostel an sich, aber nicht sonderlich sozial und es gibt etwas zu wenig Toiletten und Duschen. Über Ostern ist fast 24/7 sehr laute Musik in der ganzen Straße

Top hostel! Everything you need- big kitchen, curtains in the room, individual fans and also the best shower ever! I loved the room I was in (6 person) has A/C and en-suite. There is also free breakfast in the morning. A bonus that I handed over my washing in the morning and it was ready at the hostel for me to collect that afternoon!

Wifi was bad, rooms have ac but the staff keep the remotes, “quiet by 10” but the dj will keep playing above your room

Beds were comfortable but the 8 bed dorm didn’t have fans and the air conditioner wasn’t on until nighttime so it was stuffy and hot in the day. The staff did a great job keeping it clean.

Very weird vibes, staff were so unhelpful with any questions we had, I couldn’t find a staff member to turn the AC on (despite paying extra for an AC room) another guy in my room ended up finding someone at 1am to put it on, I also asked to switch rooms because of the stench in my room and that was laughed at by the staff, there were a few old men staying long term in the room which made me feel uncomfortable

Todo súper bien, solo la piscina, desafortunadamente no llegó quién la limpia los dos días que estuvimos.

Amazing beachfront, center location and super clean rooms, with the best customer service you can find. I highly recommend this hotel, breakfast is included and the sunsets from San Juan are the most beautiful, especially from the roof

+ J'ai aimé l'emplacement, près de la plage et des services. La personne à l'accueil a été très aimable et nous a référé à un excellent restaurant!

- Je n'ai pas aimé l'odeur dans la chambre, qui provenait sûrement de la salle de bain. Les draps du lits étaient vieux et il y avait des cheveux d'une autre personne dessus. Le déjeuner était très simple.

very nice hostel with nice rooms and a fantastic rooftop, music stops at 10 so you could also sleep early. Showers were at the rooftop so when there’s party going on you have to pass the crowd.

I especially liked the staff at Sohla! They were very helpful. The location is great, right across from the beach. I had a bit of trouble sleeping from all of the music that was nearby. There weren't any shelves in my room to place things on, like my glasses or earplugs. There also weren't any shelves in the bathroom or any tables in the room.
