Nomada Beach Hostel- Isla Verde, hotel in San Juan

Situated in San Juan, 100 metres from Isla Verde, Nomada Beach Hostel- Isla Verde features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a private beach area.

It has a great location, great employees, it was always cleaned by the maintenance guy, the staff even played with the guest’s, during the night by the pool. There are places to buy good food, at a walking distance. They also have a kitchen we’re you can actually prepare your own food. There are also bar’s on sight and if you go buy car, you’ll have a lot of other places to eat at and have fun. It was a great escape and was able to do everything I planned. Didn’t use the pool, because of the rain. Other than that I was impressed. Very cozy.

Nomada Urban Beach Hostel- Calle Loiza, hotel in San Juan

Nomada Urban Beach Hostel- Calle Loiza in San Juan provides adults-only accommodation with a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace.

The beds were great, kitchen was good and the fact that there weren't too many people in the hostel, so small rooms for two persons were great. For the money you pay for staying here the place is really good.

    Juliette hostel is perfect for women traveling solo or with a group. Located at the heart of old San Juan, it's very accessible to all the tourist attractions and also the airport. It was perfectly safe and clean, the staff were very helpful. There are also some decent food options available closeby and a convenience store right in front of the hostel.

    The hostel is located walking distance to the forts, the shopping and dining in old San Juan. The staff is friendly and helpful. As a solo female traveler I felt safe, the set of the bathroom is convenient and clean throughout the day.

    Great place to stay! Clean, nicely decorated, pretty rooftop, safe and secure! We had a balcony room which was very pretty. There is no real front desk and checkin / checkout is pretty hands off but easy to understand and not difficult. Great location for walking around!

    If I would have known how wonderful this place is, I would have stayed longer. Blanca and Miguel were super friendly when they welcomed me, they provided great restaurant tips. I felt very safe and the facilities are great. The beds are huge. Clearly the best hostel I ever stayed in.

    Excellent budget stay in a great location. The property is within walking distance of a good variety of restaurants and coffee shops. Very friendly and responsive staff! Very clean facilities for a hostel. Bonus: the property was quaint and well-decorated. Bug spray and sunscreen was also provided.
