Pros +
- Staff and location
- Cleanliness and location
- Location was wonderful in old San Juan. Price was good. There are 3 common bathrooms, so there was always something open!
Cons -
- I would try to avoid the front dorm. It is right over the street. I believe the tires bouncing over the street bricks would wake the dead. I do not think this would be a problem, if you stayed in a dorm room toward the back of the hostel. Will return.
- There are repairs that need to be made on the exterior shutters
- The fridge & microwave are on the same circuit and it blew & stopped working the day I checked in. The bunk beds are super squeaky, but that is normal. Wifi was spotty.

Got very hot on the top bunk. Please include a small fan.
