I recently stayed at the Fortaleza Guest House, it seemed, at first, kind of sparse, not at ALL luxurious but for this solo female traveler it was VERY SAFE and VERY CLEAN. Mind you, the FGH is in a bldg that is over 200 years old, however, I loved my private little room on the 3rd Floor and the sweet... More

Spent 3 nights in the three bed room with the balcony with two friends. The individuals running the house don't speak the best English but are completely accommodating. For the price it was exactly what I expected. 2 fans were supplied in the room which made the room tolerable/comfortable at night. typical residential style bathrooms that were relatively clean and...

After being in Santo Domingo for 7 weeks I returned to San Juan and to the same hostel. It made me feel home again. every night dancing and concerts and all very close by, which makes me feel secure. The family who cares is very friendly and try to offer the best they have. Very good for the price and... More

Let's be honest, if you are going to San Juan to actually see the place and not stay in your hotel the whole time, then you don't need lots of bells and whistles.

if you want to feel home..... that's the place! The location..... can't be better!, the warmnest of the people running the place makes you feel like you never want to leave. Being an old building the person who looks after the place doesn't stop cleaning it up! Great place for a free traveller... love it! More

We did not make any arrangements except for our flight so we were happy to hear there was still a room available for us. We asked for a room with a balcony at... More

Upon arrival, I met Tina, the owner, a truly nice woman. Israel, the manager, kept the place muy limpia (very clean). My bedroom shutters opened onto the balcony, which let a nice breeze into the room. Although, the street could get noisy at night, when I closed the shutters and turned on the fan, I had no problems with the... More

I've stayed in many hostels before, and this would have to be in my top 3 dirtiest hostel. My friend and I stayed in a one room with no windows but had A/C on the first floor. Our room smelled like someone had peed in the corner or the room. There's two shared bathrooms on this floor, one lacked a... More
