Beach Dorms, hotel in San Juan

Located in San Juan, Beach Dorms offers beachfront accommodations a 2-minute walk from Punta Las Marias and has facilities like a shared lounge, a terrace and a bar.

I liked the front room sitting area, where people would meet and socialize. This area, however , had a perimeter layer of dried leaves from the tree above, which hugged the plastic and wicker chairs, and potentially were a fire hazard, considering the semi conscious cigarette and pot smoking happening there.

    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.

    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.
