    the only thing is that it’s right next to the busy high way, which if you rented a car would be a bit annoying with limited parking but I didn’t have an issue as I was not driving this time

    the set up is beautiful and chill. one of the few hostels with a Pool. everyone there was super nice and chill. The room I was in was full of great people who were friendly, also not noisy at night. I like that the bunks have privacy curtains especially! everything was super clean & convenient separate bathrooms and separate showers. The dog there is the sweetest 😍 she makes it feel like home. Recommend for alone travel! will come back!

    Nomada Beach Hostel is like a little oasis near the beach. Behind the doors is a wonderful, funky hostel with a nice pool, kitchen and grilling facilities, and plenty of seating in common areas. Despite being near a major road, the noise is somehow diminished when you are inside. A great place to stay.

    A very busy, and well-used highway is right in front of the hostel. This is why you need to use the pedestrian bridge to get to the beach or shops or restaurants on the other side. So when you're in the common areas or even in the room, you hear the highway noise. I also couldn't help but think about all of the pollutants I was breathing in 24/7. On one of the mornings there, I think the generator near the room turned on because a very loud and sustained noise woke me. It stayed that way for a few hours before stopping.

    This hostel is by far the most well-designed hostel I've stayed at-beating some 4 star hotels! Bonus: it is also well-maintained and the staff put in a lot of effort to keep every part of it clean!! Room: I was in the 8 all-female dorm room and never felt cramped for space. Each bed had a strip of outlet including 2 usb plugs, plus a small reading light. All beds had curtains so you could have privacy. There were hooks and hangers by the beds. A door separates the bedroom from the common areas. Common Areas: There are 3 shower rooms with a multi-level plastic stand in each. The door had a hook on the inside and there were larger hooks outside between the rooms. Water pressure on the shower was ok. There are 2 separate toilet rooms that have a very entertaining sign that I'll leave you to discover. And 3 sinks with a full wall mirror for other general clean up. The kitchen was very well-kept. Black dishes and mugs came from Ikea. The utensils were not grungy or old. I loved that there was an air fryer instead of 2-slice bread toaster! Microwave, flat-top stove, and fridge rounds up the kitchen. The fridge was full while the freezer was barely used when I was there. Plenty of varied seating around the property. Swimming pool was fun and a good mix up after the beach. The locks are all electronic so no need to worry about lost keys...but it does mean you have to remember a code for the main door and the one to your room. Location: Isla Verde beach is minutes away across the pedestrian bridge and was not as crowded as the one in Ocean Park. There are a few car rental companies along the main drag. It's about 5 mins from the airport, but not at all walk-able, so you're stuck with uber or chancing it with extremely limited public transportation. You can walk to Old San Juan from the hostel. It takes 2+ hours and the neighborhoods progress in wealth along the way. Or take the T5 or 53 bus for $0.75/ride.

    it is so close to a busy road that you can hear the traffic all the time. But there is nothing that can be done about it.

    Friendly and helpful stuff, very clean room and bathroom as well, kitchen fully equipped, clean pool and very relaxing and comfy vibe.

    the front staff neglected to guide me to the property . another guest showed me the bathrooms and showers. the staff shared to be new at the job. she showed me the outside bathroom and showers, so I thought I had to go outside to use these facilities. instead , each room has door access to the shared showers and bathrooms without going outside

    loved the property . their business concept works and it shows their effort to provide a positive experience

    Its near a busy road, so if you decide to drive just be mindful when backing out. I wish the lights near the community sinks was brighter (makeup purposes) :)

    Location was perfect. Close to the Isla Verde beach and airport. Depending on Uber peak times, I literally spent less than $5 bucks getting to the airport.

    Honestly, nothing!

    Feels like a little paradise with the vibe of the courtyard (pool, music, decor). The passcode to get into the property and room made it feel very secure. It was also always clean and tidy.

    It was all very good for me.

    I liked the proximity to the airport and to Panaderia Espana. This was my first experience in a hostel and it was a very positive one. I enjoyed meeting and talking to new people.
