    All was good, the only things that could have been better are the shower in our dorm (little water) and the AC did not cool very well the second night (even tho the settings were set correctly). No deal breaker for me and has potential for 10 stars with small improvements.

    Great common area and nice designed and thought through common areas. Very social hostel, perfect for solo travelers who like to meet people. Each dorm has a kitchen and bathroom.

    No wash cloths, paper towels, or soap in bathroom. No Tv. There was a chirping sound all night. Thin walls.

    Very friendly place. Quick response by email whenever I had a question. A few blocks from the ocean and sandy beach. Nothing fancy but worked for a bed and location great. Reasonably priced. Community refrigerator and microwave etc. KFC, McDonalds, Walgreens, and several restraunts nearby. Uber super reasonable.

    It was a little loud in the night, I think my room was limiting with a comercial place, so in the early morning there was a lot of rush. The place can have some renovations, like the bathroom (shower) was old. But just little things, its a good price for the quality one can expect.

    The position is nice, lively neighborhood. Easy to find, nice walks. Staff was super gentle. It is clean. It's fine for the price.

    The extra cash I had to pay no tv and the beds are cots like I was in the Marines again. the beach is further than We expected maybe 3 long blocks away and the heat was unbelivable so try to wear as less cloths as possible.

    The atmosphere was good but make sure you request the bathroom in side the room. Being private doesnt always mean one step away. No tv and younger crowd. It was ok but not for the extra $$ I had to pay. Wont be staying there again. But if you like a style of camping this place is for you. Hippies are welcome.

    There is no social atmosphere with guests. It also is a bit far from the main areas you want to go out.

    The rooms are nice and cold, bathrooms in each room was nice too.

    A great crash pad for a first night in PR.

    There was no one from the villa on property so some of the other guests were loud in the courtyard. We knew we were booking a hostel but had hoped for a little bit more quiet after 1am in the common space. The guests were not in their rooms being loud but our room off the kitchen, we could hear all the guests roaming around and having long conversations/singing at 2am.

    We liked the communication and the comfortability of the beds/room/bathroom. It was a great place to crash for a quick night. I am a little bit older then the medium age of people that I came into contact with. It was definitely a younger vibe than I prefer on vacation. The beds were very comfortable and the air condition was a great bonus on a warm night. There are some very cute shops/cafe's near by. The beach was beautiful and a quick walk from the Villa.

    The shower is on a different system where it is either hot or cold. The only time I had warm water was during the few seconds that it transitioned from hot to cold. Once it changed to hot, it was very hot.

    Very friendly & helpful staff. The room was clean & very comfortable. Location was great - near restaurants, airport & a Walgreens across the street for snacks & forgotten items!

    You can hear everything from outside!! There is Walgreens across the street and every morning you could hear trucks supplying the store. And it was like 5/6am.

    The locations is quite good. There is nice beach close by and couple cute cafes.
