Tres bon hostel avec les propriétaires très accueillants et très agréables. On s y sent bien et le prix est correct pour San Juan.

We loved our stay at Javiers, he was even kind enough to include our air on for free as we were staying for four nights! The kitchen functioned well enough and his breakfasts in the morning were delicious

Great location and nice rooms, the fans were very good so AC was not necessary. The staff were super nice and accommodating. Overall would highly recommend!

Very nice hostel, pretty well located, staff is very very nice and helpful. Private rooms are functionnal, AC option is recommended. Courtesy breakfast, delicious banana pancake and coffee. When I visited, San Juan wasnt that lively, so the hostel lacks atmosphere.

The location of the hostel is great, it is close to the bus drop off and close to the beach. I was lucky and had the entire room to myself. It is near other restaurants/bars so at night you could hear the music. They offer free breakfast, unfortunately I did not get to eat it since I had to leave very early.

Decent place to stay in the centre of San Juan. It’s a small hostel and you get to know most the people staying there. Main downside is the lack of comfy places to chill in the hostel meaning you won’t spend much time here apart from to sleep and eat

Une nuit dans cet établissement. Le rapport qualité prix (50$) n’était malheureusement pas à la hauteur pour nous…Nous avions une chambre au rez de chaussée, la soirée et la nuit ont été très bruyantes. La chambre donne sur le couloir et l’accueil qui donne elle même sur la rue, d’où le bruit et le manque d’intimité. Le rideau n’était pas assez occultant et laissait passer beaucoup de lumière. Par contre, l’emplacement est top, en plein centre et le petit déjeuner ...

Staying at Javier’s house was nothing short of a pleasure. We stayed in a private with en-suite and AC, the room was clean and comfortable and Javier regularly offered us new sheets. Javier himself is an absolute legend, so chatty and helpful- the best Hostal host I’ve ever met. Thanks so much for everything Javier, especially the Spanish with maddie (and Javier’s dad too)!

Fantastic place to stay. Our private room was out of service due to a broken sink, however, staff rectified this by providing us the bunk room with an ensuite and airconditioning privately. Great location, close to the beach, highly recommend.

I had a really nice time at Javier's house. He and his family who run the hostel are really kind and considerate. They take care of the guests and are willing to give up good advices. I recommand bringing earplugs though since the hostel is situated downtown, with bars around. I didn't have problems at all to fall asleep with my earplugs, but probably would have without. The matresses are really comfortable and the other guests in the hostel were really quiet and respectful. Thanks again Javier!

This isn’t a hostel, it’s a guesthouse. The location is great but that’s it. Wouldn’t stay again. And the entrance does smell like cat p***

Absolutely zero vibe. Weird as it’s in the centre of town but I was one of two guests staying there and I was in a 10-person dorm by myself - felt quite scared and unsafe. When showing me to my room, the dude literally picked my sheet up off the floor and then took me to my room and left the sheet on the bed…
