Nomada Beach Hostel- Isla Verde, hotel in San Juan

Located in San Juan, a few steps from Isla Verde, Nomada Beach Hostel- Isla Verde has accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge.

First time at a hostel. I was afraid that it wouldn't be clean. However, Nomada proved me wrong. Hostel was always clean, the bathrooms were always clean. A big shoutout to the lovely people who do the job of keeping the hostel clean, thank you! The beds had their privacy curtains which added to the coziness of the dorms. It was also a quiet stay. Everyone I stayed with were respectful of the space. No loud noises. Slept a lot! The beach is a four-minute walk across the bridge. Perfect for catching the sunrise.

This was my second time at the property. I love how peaceful it is. The ambiance is definitely my vibe. I felt comfortable and at home…I already feel like it is my home away from home. Beds are comfortable. It is also walking distance to a coffee shop I love which is a big plus.

    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.
