The dorm is totally overcrowded and there's little space to even put your bag. One of the bathrooms is a small, stinking mess while the bigger one was acceptable. Their own no noise after 11 policy gets ignored even by their own staff till late into the night. This is made worse by the fact that all that separates the... More

Community computer. About 20 minute do-able walk (or bus) to Condado beach. Food store around the corner. Private room is off the kitchen and very small,... More

This hostel really has an authentic family feel in a "real" part of PR away from the tourist traps but still a walk away from anything you need. It's clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Luke and Phoebe as well as the owner Francisco are really cool. Phoebe makes a good piña colada!
